HI, I think there's a couple of misconceptions in this thread. First off currently you can join the IPMC two ways by being an ASF member and asking to join, the other by being voted in. On average the people being voted in tend to not go missing, review releases and sign off board reports more

I agree, I think that the "requirement" (Never really knew there was such a requirement) of being a Member sort of gives you the easy entry path as if you are a member people expect you to understand the Apache Way. However that doesn't mean that people not being a member don't get the Apache

Hi, I'm a new IPMC Member (no foundation member) and come from a PLC4X which has graduated months ago. I already started to help other Podlings a bit. And I agree with Dave in the sense that we should seek our way not in locking-out people but in finding ways to draw in more people. It was

I don’t understand how obstructing people from becoming mentors is going to increase their involvement. In the unlikely event that I got interested enough in an incoming project to want to mentor it, no matter what rules are in place, my doing so depends on my commitment to actually mentoring.

Hi, Current any ASF member can come along and ask to join the IPMC. I assume this was put in place for two reasons: ( but don’t know the full history behind it) - There was a lack of mentors. - Is is assumed that if you are an ASF member you know enough about the Apache Way to mentor a project.
