Maybe it depends how that recognition / listing is phrased? I haven't followed the details so feel free to tell me if this is off but how about listing people "who are members of Apache communities (committers, PMC members, ASF members) and happy to organize local meetups about Apache communities and projects" ? Listing them on the comdev website will help make these things happen but there's no commitment on our side as to what will happen in these meetings - we can say that those meetups are very welcome, but we don't endorse the content. And formulate a few recommendations, so that outsiders can tell by themselves if organizers are respecting the spirit. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
