Hey Guys,
at general@ Jukka mentioned we are quiet ready to be graduate -
This is my feeling too.
it's IMHO a good time to get started discussing about it, follows
below a graduation resolution that we can use and VOTE for Syncope's
graduation.
The major potential issue is the diversity. So far, only one new
committer has been voted in (and he has declined, AFAIR). This is a
bit a burden.
The problem is that in order to attract more contributor, you need to
get more visible, and being in the incubator is not the best place for
that...
I would wait another quarter to see how the followers get involved,
and I'm quite confident that the project has some potential to
increase its diversity. May be more buzz could help here (ie,
publishing some article on some sites, or blogs, etc).
As fas as I've been reading in the general@ ML, it's very hard to define
exactly what "Diversity" means, for a podling.
While it's certainly true that we've been voting a single new committer
so far - that unfortunately declined - it is also true that other people
got nicely active on the project, like as Colm that was "only" supposed
to act as a mentor: doesn't this matter?
About the Chair: I initially put Francesco in the template as part of
the initial resolution proposal - I even proposed him as Cocoon chair,
given the trust I put in him! - but feel free to discuss and elect the
chair according to the Apache way. Maybe someone else, strongly
motivated, would like to step up and nobody would deny that
opportunity!
Certainly a good choice. I'd though like to stress out the fact that
being nominated chair is just an administrative thing, and I really
like the chair rotation system : it gives a opportunity to the PMC
members to understand better the way The ASF works. In other words,
being voted as chair has nothing to do with the BDFL system.9soft.org/
