Hiya,
Pardon my ignorance here, but can you elaborate or point me to docs on
how exactly the PMCs are formed? I know that the mentors from a project
are on it, but as for the rest of the committers I have heard
conflicting things. I have heard that you need to be voted on and I have
also heard that the all of initial committers ends up on the PPMC.
Obviously it can't be both and I can't find any real docs on it
(http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html is silent) either.
Well, PMCs are formed by the board when a project moves to top level
status. PPMCs are formed for an incubating project, and exactly how
that works tends to differ a bit between projects. Some mentors start
off with just the mentors on the PPMC, and then invite project members
as time goes on (or that's the impression I've gotten). Others just
start with the whole group of committers plus the mentors on the PPMC
(that's what we did with Abdera).
