I posted the following in a private@ thread: Traditionally ASF membership + expressed interest has been the main path to the IPMC. Honestly, I think “someone who has significantly helped a project navigate incubation through to successful graduation” holds at least as much merit as ASF membership.
There’s the added benefit of recent experience. My experience with the incubator 5-6 years ago is likely different than what podlings experience today. The core values haven’t changed, but some processes have. That is where I see new blood brings value. ——— I see value in lowing the bar for entry to the IPMC. I also see value in allowing interested Members to auto-join. Default to inclusivity. -Taylor > On Aug 12, 2019, at 7:29 PM, Greg Stein <gst...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Mon, Aug 12, 2019 at 5:26 PM Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> > wrote: > >> Hi, >> >>> I will also note that if the IPMC switches to *voting* Members into the >>> IPMC, that the Apache Member will be observing that vote take place on >>> private@ through a subscription (they can reply!) or via the archives. … >> >> Which is also the same for any project who votes in a ASF member as a >> committer or PMC member. >> > > I would counter that any project which creates such a bar for ASF Members > may be doing it Wrong :) > > (this goes into my general feeling that projects generally need to lower > their bars, and become more inclusive) > > Cheers, > -g --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
