As member of a PPMC whose champion continued after formation of the podling, I would miss someone in that role.
Also, the notion of the champion as the podling mentor herder has a certain appeal. At the moment, our champion is the person who performs many of the actions that require more than PPMC committer karma, and having that spread around (but not diffused out of existence) would be great. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Shane Curcuru [mailto:a...@shanecurcuru.org] Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2011 10:52 To: general@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [PROPOSAL] Clarify the role of the Champion as an "incubation coordinator" (was: should podlings have informal chairs?) Great stuff, and great discussion. Thanks in particular Bertrand for making it a specific proposal. +1 On 2011-11-22 4:29 PM, Bertrand Delacretaz wrote: ... > 3. The Champion is not necessarily a mentor. Correct - from the organizational point of view, the champion role as defined is almost more about ensuring the mentors are working, and ensuring podling reports are done well - and not necessarily about actively mentoring and working with the podling committers. Obviously, in many/most cases the champion will be a mentor too, but it isn't strictly part of what we need the role to be. Make sense? And although I understand there are some issues with the choice if the word, I'd still suggest staying with "Champion", since it's already in use and fits pretty well. - Shane --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
