AFAIK, you *must* be on the IPMC to be a mentor.

Actually, according to Incubator policy [1] it's the other way around.
"Upon acceptance by the Incubator PMC, the Podling's Mentor becomes a
member of the Incubator PMC (should they not already be one)."

Doh!! Nit-picking are we ;o)

Doh! Nitpicking is one of my specialties.


I claim complete insanity and temporal lobe confusion since Henning
writes; "As a mentor", which should read as "As a future mentor" or "As a
mentor candidate"...

Craig, since I know you are a lot into Incubator docs, either tell me where to
fix the 'typo' in that paragraph, or change the pluralis forms to;

Sadly, the paragraph in question is in the Incubator policy page that is still at [1]. In order to change it, an affirmative VOTE of the IPMC is required. And it's hard to get a vote through... See [2] and [3].

"the Podling's Mentors become members of the Incubator PMC (should they not
already be one)."
-----------^^^
Also, can "one" refer to "they" in english?? Should it be "that" instead?

I'd say "Upon acceptance by the Incubator PMC, the Podling's Mentors who are not already members, become members of the Incubator PMC."

This needs to be a bigger change than one paragraph. There used to be a mentor, but based on recent discussions in the Incubator, at least three Mentors are recommended. But there's not been a change to the Incubator policy or guides to reflect this.

So you (or your designate ;-) will need to change a few places in the Incubator in order to make it consistent. And then file an issue in JIRA and call a VOTE.

If you're going to be in Amsterdam for ApacheCon, we could get a quorum of Incubator PMC and get some things done at the Hackathon. Maybe advertise it as an Incubatorthon?

Craig
