Agreed.  Unless there is any objection I plan to assume lazy consensus
and remove the draft marking tomorrow or shortly thereafter.

 Tony,

 There appears to be consensus around these thoughts.  Perhaps we
 should document this on a Wiki page?

 I think generally for committer status it would be good to see a
 number of these things for a period of time and then for PMC status to
 see those contributions continue and ideally expand for a longer
 duration.  Another few months?

 Thanks

Bryan,

That is a good point and I do think we should avoid putting such a
rule/requirement in place.  However, practically speaking I would
imagine that is how it will play out most often.

I've taken the comments of this thread largely based on Tony's
excellent start and created a draft wiki page for it here [1].  If
discussion remains on track then I'll assume lazy consensus and remove
the draft notice.

So are we saying as a community that a contributor has to first become a
committer, and then only after continued consistent engagement could then
be considered for PMC?

I don't have any issue with that approach, although it is not exactly what
I thought when we first created the two tiers.

Re: [DISCUSS] From Contributor to Committer

2016-04-13 Thread Joe Witt
Tony,

I agree with the points you raise and the completeness of the
perspective you share. I do think we should add to that a focus on
licensing and legal aspects.

- The individual has shown an effort to aid the community in producing
release which are consistent with ASF licensing requirements and the
guidance followed in the Apache NiFi community to adhere to those
policies.  This understanding could be shown when introducing new
dependencies (including transitive) by ensuring that all licensing and
notice updates have occurred.  Another good example is flagging
potentially copyrighted or insufficiently cited items like Skora found
recently in the Kafka tests.  One of our most important jobs as a
community is to put out legal releases and that is certainly a team
effort!

Thanks
Joe

Thanks for starting this Tony!

As a PMC member, I really try to focus on things that help the
community where we tend to have limited bandwidth: reviews weigh
heavily, as does helping out new folks on users@, and doing public
talking/workshops.

I also am inclined to vote in favor of folks who show the kind of
project dedication that we expect from PMC members. While we still
need to do a better job of describing those things, at the moment I'm
thinking of things like voting on release candidates, watching out for
our trademarks, and investing the time needed to handle our licensing
responsibilities.
