Few PIs leading a lab are actively engaging and sustainably in Labs-as-a-project, which for me is a precondation to become a PMC member. (I know others think different, and they are welcomed to put new candidates up for vote.) This is an artifact of lab's nature - few, if any collaboration between active committers makes becoming a "community" (as a whole) more difficult. > I'm not on the Labs PMC but IMHO it could be worth considering having > people who have or are participating in Labs more routinely added to > the PMC. +1 > From all the emails in the "how to revive labs" discussions > its those people who have been making a lot of the suggestions for > what might be good to try.
