I think expecting >1% of members to turn up at every single event is unrealistic for small projects and barcamps. For oversight we need to make sure that the interests of the ASF are being represented. It's a checks and balances thing. There is already a separate requirement for minimum physical representation of the ASF at Barcamps: "Have a minimum representation from ASF (at least three Apache sessions per day) " There is not a similarly explicit requirement for MeetUps, I guess when I wrote the docs I felt that it was implicit that a MeetUp will have project folk present. Perhaps this should be made explicit with something like "Have a minimum representation of ASF committers (at least 4 active committers presenting)" Thoughts? Ross
