So as well committers recognize this.
why do people want to become PMC chair?
Because it is recognition.
you mean that's it? Just recognition?!
Yes. I believe it is because recognition.
Related to that, do you think a PMC chair should be
active within the community in order to represent it?
And how would you define being active?
It is not clear to me what do you mean by "active within the community
in order to represent it". Why the PMC chair must be active all the
time? Everybody needs a break from time to time, right?
sure, but does it make sense to be PMC chair then (during this vacation)?
It's seems to me like the president of the US (or any other country),
is saying "Hey, I need a one year vacation during my presidency ..."
Huh?!
Or what are you expecting? A reply from the PMC chair to every mail on
the list? That makes somebody being labeled as "active within the
community". Sorry, but I will not expect that from a PMC chair.
what do you expect from a PMC chair in order to be able
to represent the community on its behalf? Or isn't that the
purpose of the PMC chair?
I can say, the PMC chair must use his hat only when needed. It is more
or less a tradition in the ASF, people prefer to not use his assigned
hats as most as posible. Hence, using the hats also depends on the
community needs. And if such case appears, it is often discussed first
on the PMC list. People votes and then the PMC chair shows up
representing the PMC.
you mean, it's like the PMC members making some decisions
and the calling a delivery boy to send out a message?
BTW, when somebody becomes elected PMC chair it is a recognition from
his peers.
that's how it should be, but I am not sure if that's reality.
Lets go back to our work instead of writing mails kind of mails. :-)
agreed. These kind of emails often don't help much, but as said I think
these emails are useful to sparkle other discussion such as for instance:
"What does the Apache Lenya community stand for"
"Roles, responsibilities and duties within the Apache Lenya community"
etc.
All the best
