Hi!
after making sure that there's still an Incubator
to be managed for the next 6-12 months, I'd like
to open up a discussion thread on soliciting
nominations for the next IPMC Chair.
Feel free to self-nominate or nominate folks who
you know. Provide a summary of your 'program'
or not. At this point, we want as much feedback
and discussion as possible. The VOTE thread will
come in a few weeks.
Things to keep in mind while thinking about nominating
yourself or others:
1. This is a 6-12 months commitment that, based on my
personal experience, would require you to allocate 7-10
hours per week.
2. This is a rotating Chair and you would be expected to
start a similar thread in 12 months.
3. From where I sit, the most important job for the new
Chair for the next few months would be to help shape
the incremental, actionable plan for improving the
mentoring situation in the Incubator.
4. The situation around 'professional student' podlings
is not improving nearly quick enough (4 years without
a single release? really?). Anybody who has actionable
ideas on how to improve it would get my support.
Now, to get the ball rolling, here are the two folks I'd
like to suggest as future IPMC Chairs:
* Ted Dunning
* Henry Saputra
In my view, both have demonstrated an exceptional
understanding of the 'Apache Way', dedication to
mentoring podlings they are responsible for and enthusiasm
around bringing new communities into the ASF family.
On top of that, both have exercised a remarkable skill
in conducting public discussions and driving towards
consensus.
Thanks,
Roman.
