The podling project is like listening to a mentor's advice before graduation. I always told the projects I mentored that they should wear two hats (one from the community and the other from the company) when they do their work. This is not a pattern with Chinese projects. This is a serious accusation, IMO, and I'm afraid this categorization creates a biased tag. As mentors, we can still discuss the project by sending emails directly to the PMC once they graduate, and we can escalate the situation if the PMC refuses to change. > > While I was on the board I wanted to help find new ways to be more open to > such communities, but right now these are not what Apache would like to have, > but actually demands and should enforce more. > > So I don't want to invest my time in a project, that I'm cut off after > graduation. > > Chris > Willem --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
