Ah, this lack of clarity is my fault as an editor. One of the initial committers was recently employed by Microsoft but is now in the process of changing employers. Another person formally affiliated with both the project and Microsoft has decided not to continue participating. I could rephrase this to talk about the contributions made to date as being from individuals then in the employ of three major companies. Then call out the initial committer list as from two of those and one unaffiliated.

Otherwise you'll need to list out an la Sure I can reach out. I've seen this done a few times, so I consider it low risk.

After having to withdraw from mentoring a couple of podlings at the end of last year I am conservative about what my volunteer time looks like right now. I'm certain I can spare the time to help the Livy community get introduced to the incubator. I'm not certain beyond that, so I am not listed as a formal mentor. > - All mentors must be on the IPMC.

I was pretty sure Bikas had already done this step.

I'll let the mentors answer for themselves here, as I won't presume to know their specific motivations for volunteering. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
