We are approaching some rebranding issues, we also wish to really get going on graduation and another set of eyes on the podling at this critical stage would be very helpful indeed. Lewis

Justin -- I thought we retired the Slider podling. Going off my mail client, INFRA-16568 tracked this and was done at the end of May. Maybe some podling metadata didn't get cleaned up fully?

Re: Podlings likely missing mentors
Hi, Justin Just copy discussion in private@weex to this thread and explain our demands for extra active mentors. We sent a mail to all the mentors in May and only Willem responded. Missing active mentors is a big problem to Weex community and we mentioned it in last podling reports. > From late last year, we see some progress has been made within the community, > but definitely that is not enough.

The next big thing is the community release, we hope to make it done asap, we studies hard to be familiar with the procedure and have made 5 release candidates. We sent a release vote to general@ nearly a month ago, we still need one more +1 but no feedback. Maybe it is also due to the lack of active mentors. So we will be very appreciated if anyone would like to be our mentor and help us with the incubating journey. Thanks. Adam Feng 在 2018年10月4日 +0800 PM10:47，Josh Elser ，写道： > Well, then.

Re: Podlings likely missing mentors
Hi Adam, Thanks for hat perspective it helps. The issue I think you may currently have in an inattentive PPMC, rather than a lack of mentors (although that may not also help), you have 10 people on the PPMC but they missed repeated enquires on the the dev and private lists. > The next big thing is the community release, we hope to make it done asap, > we studies hard to be familiar with the procedure and have made 5 release > candidates.

Mentors are IPMC member so their vote counts, but there usually enough IPMC members who vote on release that they don’t mentor, I’ve already voted so can’t vote twice. I would just ask again and emphasise how long the vote has been hanging.
