Hi all, I posted a proposal for a definition of our Community Roles and Processes in our Wiki [1]. The central points of this document are the following:
* Every Committer is also a member of PPMC (Poddling PMC) Some projects choose to clearly separate the roles of Committers and [P]PMC members (e.g. Felix) while other projects do not separate the roles and have each Committer also be a member of the [P]PMC (e.g. Jackrabbit). I have the strong feeling, that people who show interest in a project and participate in the project in way, that they merit committership, should also be trusted such that they shold also be able to participate in [P]PMC level decisions. Of course this raises the barrier to offer committership a little bit, it also much better integrates committers with the project. * Votes on new Committers and PPMC members are held on the PPMC private mailing list In a discussion on the Sling private mailing list, the general consensus seems to be, that votes should be held on the private mailing list as is the case in most Apache projects. Therefore I suggest to codify this consensus. Let's discuss .... Regards Felix [1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/rhsB
