As already mentioned on private@ earlier, this time is now approaching due to a change I didn't yet foresee in February: We're expecting our first baby to be born in December. :-) In practice this means that the amount of time and energy I have for the Incubator has unfortunately already started decreasing (we're buying a new home and moving back to Finland at least for a while) and will likely drop close to zero in December. Thus it is time to start considering the election of a new PMC chair for the Incubator. Before calling for an election vote I'd like to open the discussion for nominations and more generic thoughts about the future of the Incubator. In the past few quarters we've done a reasonably good job on improving the flow of the Incubator and getting many troubled or otherwise stuck podlings moving forward again. However, there's still a lot that could be done. What do you think the Incubator should be like? Just like I've carved the IPMC chair role to a rather activist form that seems to have helped address the most pressing issues we had earlier this year, I would expect the next IPMC chair to make the role their own. How do you see that and the other Incubator roles, IPMC member, mentor, champion, shepherd, etc., evolving? Please share your thoughts on the future of the Incubator and nominate people you think could best help us reach that vision! Let's leave the discussion open for at least a few weeks before conducting the election later this month. That should give us a resolution to change the IPMC chair in time for the November board meeting, and a chance for me to still work together with the elected new chair during November to make sure that the transition goes smoothly. PS. Even though this is a personnel issue, I don't see any particular reason for at least all of this discussion to happen on private@. Feel free to use private@ for parts of the discussion if appropriate. PPS. It would be nice if we could use Apache Steve for the election. Volunteers?
