 I just started the vote on the incubator private, it's open for 72

 As Julien is an ASF member, his Incubator PMC membership is just a

 board when he's back, which should be later this weekend.

 So I guess we should be ready to vote on the Zeta proposal by
 Wednesday. In the meantime, Zeta committers who don't have an iCLA on
 file [1] should send it, that will save time if/when the project is
 accepted. I don't think there's more that can be done at this point to
 save time.

are there any news regarding the acceptance of our mentors?

Thanks,
Toby

 accepted. I don't think there's more that can be done at this point to

no news from my side. But I think Zeta should not wait but proceed. A
mentor can step up after the vote has passed. And if not as a mentor,
I will help as a contributor :-)

In my opinion, go ahead with the vote for acceptance

Cheers
Christian

This took a bit more time than expected, and I forgot the required
delay once the board acknowledges a new Incubator PMC member [1] -
taking this into account we'll have a final answer tomorrow at 4PM.

So as not to keep you waiting longer, I think you can go ahead with
the vote, and mention pending Incubator PMC membership confirmation
for Julien and Christian as mentors.

Cool, looking forward to it. Is the a document defining how a call for
votes should look like, except for the subject prefix [VOTE]?

I don't think so, but you can look at previous votes like the Clerezza
podling vote at http://markmail.org/message/52dvkokfky4vaeyz

Please include a copy of the proposal in the vote message.

Apache is an organization that runs on email, which is slower than  
Skype/IRC/telephone but far more effective in widespread asynchronous  
communication.


The incubator PMC is just like other PMCs. There is a very well  
documented process for adding members which is being followed.


Please have a bit more patience...

I am confident that this group is capable to handle the mentoring, and
I wouldn't be surprised to see Christian be more than your average
mentor and more actively involved in the project. If the will and
energy are there from the external group, I am sure this can be highly
successful.

Zeta proposal - Next steps

2010-05-07 Thread Tobias Schlitt

Hash: SHA1

Hi,

we gathered 3 mentors by our call for mentors here on the list and
private contact to Apache members. These are:

- - Christian Grobmeier (not ASF member)
- - Julien Vermillard (ASF member)
- - Craig L Russell (ASF member)

Is there a need for more mentors (e.g. a specially experienced one)?

If not, what would be the next step? Is it calling for votes here on the
list? If yes, who is in charge of this, one of the project members or a
mentor?

Thanks in advance for your support,
regards,
Toby

Craig is already member of the IPMC and he is mentoring several
projects, so he is the wise guy in our mentor team.

Julien applied for becoming a member of the IPMC, so we'll need to wait
for this to happen. He is also an ASF member.

Christian is not an ASF member, but applied also for becoming an IPMC
member.

So, we need to wait and see now, how the applications of them proceed.

Is there anything, we as the proposing project, can do in the meantime?
Anything else to prepare?

Thanks for your advice,
regards,
Toby
