Question about proposal champions

2015-11-05 Thread Greg Brown
Hi all, I've been out of the Apache loop for a while, but I have a new project I'd like to propose for incubation. I know new Incubator projects require a champion. As an ASF member myself, can I act as my own champion, or does another member need to act as champion on my behalf? It certainly

If I can attempt to summarize, there is a difference between the *concept* of a leader and the *title* of a leader here at ASF (please correct me if I am wrong). In Pivot's status report, we were attempting to capture the concept, not the title. However, since it is a loaded term, it makes

Traditionally the "leadership" comes from the membership of the Project Management Committee. People tend to take on a variety of roles within a project, some being more leader-follower type roles and others revolving around a small team that shares collective control over direction of the projec

We don't have a notion of fixed leadership at Apache. Leadership is always welcome but it is determined by the will of the group in question at a given point in time, not based on one's official status. We try to avoid status symbols in order to retain the fair balance of individual decisio

Ordinarily, I'd refrain from comment on a topic such as this. But I think it's pretty unrealistic to consider any project, especially one of Pivot's magnitude, to be practically fostered without any kind of "leader". I don't claim authority, and I don't think that my vote counts any more th
