Sanjiva, It's pretty clear from all the conversations during Apachecon that folks don't believe in people who are wearing their Apache hats or at least us when we wear one. It's also clear at least to me that they don't want any input or rather interference in matters technical either (at least learn from our mistakes!), at least till the current merger is done by which time its too late to align some of the efforts with ongoing work in ws land. I'm completely baffled by the definition of community too. Apparently its ok to get folks inolved who have made zero contributions to either codebase BUT wrong to inolve people whose code you want to use (as mentioned in the proposal wss4j/xmlschema/neeti).
Anyways, In Hani's famous words...Why bother? -- dims On 7/19/06, Dan Diephouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hi Sanjiva, I'm confused, you're saying you don't have the time to commit to it, but you want to be one? Mentors have some very concrete responsibilities: http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Mentor While I value your feedback and input, if you don't have enough time, I don't understand why you should be a mentor. We have 4 mentors already, and from a logistical standpoint I find it hard to keep up with. Each mentor tends to have a different opinion or different input. While more input can be great, it can easily get to the point of overload and impedes Getting Stuff Done. :-) - Dan -- Dan Diephouse Envoi Solutions http://envoisolutions.com http://netzooid.com/blog --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
