Re: "Maintainer" as an alias of PMC Member?

[Mike Drob]

I see a lot of people who come from other communities (specifically CNCF)
who are more familiar with the term "maintainer"[1] and are looking to map
their existing understanding to our titles and roles. The actual
responsibilities don't line up that cleanly for the committer/PMC titles on
our side compared to the reviewer/member/maintainer on their side but
notionally the idea that "maintainer == PMC member" carries some weight.

Re: Commiter

[Mike Drob]

You probably want to send this question to d...@nifi.apache.org rather
than this list [dev@community]

Generally, you can make contributions and existing committers will
merge your code until you are invited to become a committer yourself
(after a sufficient amount of contribution, which varies project to
project)

Re: Apache Verticals (A new opensource perspective)

I think http://ctakes.apache.org/ is an example of this in the healthcare
vertical.

I'm not sure where you want this conversation to go - anybody is free to
propose project to the incubator. If you see a need and a potential
solution, then I'm sure you could start to build a community around it.

Re: Guiding volunteers

[Mike Drob]

Howe about the next volunteer that comes by asking for project ideas, we
have them build a volunteer wrangling system? A bit tongue-in-cheek here,
but there's a need that can be filled there.

The difficulty, from my perspective, in guiding volunteers is that there is
So Much under the Apache umbrella. Volunteers often do not come advertising
their skills - do you want to do Java? Great, there's 100 projects for you.
Do you want to do web development? That could be 75 more. Coming to Apache
and saying you want to work on something is like showing up to work at
 but not having a team there that expects you. There are
hundreds of projects and some of them are likely to be a good fit, but the
process for finding them is very expensive.

The volunteers that show up and say "I want to work on Spark!" are the easy
ones, and we can immediately point them at the appropriate project mailing
lists. The volunteers that have no directions need a process.

Re: Apache meetups in the coming week

[Mike Drob]

It's possible to schedule future tweets to automatically post using
TweetDeck, so that might ease some of the time zone difficulties.

Can we check in a hard-coded list of groups to ignore that has been
manually generated for the ones that we _know_ are not related? I'll take
the risk of false negatives on a helicopter group talking about what
webserver they want to use.

Re: [VOTE] Replace projects.apache.org with projects-new.apache.org

[Mike Drob]

Minor design nit: the content boxes should either be centered or do a
better job of auto filling the available horizontal space. Otherwise, it
looks spiffy, despite being fairly tiny on my monitor.

Would also like to see the releases page sort by date by default, and show
more than 10 entries. This is not a reason to block the switch though.

+0.9 in current state, +1 once my comments are addressed.

I prefer to consider the expectations optimistic rather than unreasonable.
Would it be easier to start from the Incubator checklist/guidelines and
figure out how to expand that to the general populace rather than building
a new model from scratch? Or is the idea that things are so bad that we
need a drastic cut?

I think the Incubator guidelines are reasonable, and have referred to them
several times when discussing policy. I suppose that could be consequence
of poorly maintained documents, though. Polishing those and hosting them
somewhere on www.a.o (instead of incubator.a.o) would likely go a long way.

How much of this is already covered by the Incubation process? Hopefully
projects don't revert to improper licensing or closed development after
they graduate.

I understand the value of measuring maturity after a project has left the
Incubator, but I also don't know that we want to put an additional set of
checkboxes on projects. Either you're ready to graduate, or you're not.
That comes from having good mentors, I think.

Am I missing the intent here?
