In the ASF we do have PMC Chairs, period.
Now let's say, someone wins this debate on wether or not having a
PMC Chair from inside or outside the project is more or less
likely to result in dependence. I'm not of the opinion that we
shouldn't be removing temptations or confusing dualities of the
ASF while projects are in the incubator only for these projects to
struggle with them after graduation.
Actually on the projects that I have previously mentored, we had
PPMCs. We did not have a PMC chair until the project graduated.
So we are discussing whether having a chair for the PPMC is a good
idea or not, and and my thinking on this was "it would be good
practice". But now I am starting to think that maybe the good
practice that is needed is how to work without a chair or official
leader. If you put that person in from the start, then there is
never an opportunity to learn that you can function without that
person.
Ok, I see. Hmm... going to have to think about that.
I have the gut feeling there is something we can do to marry these
concerns, as my primary concern is how the incubation ends. I.e. I
think there should be an opportunity before incubation ends to learn
to function *with* that person and someone in the project to learn to
*be* that person.
