[location-iwg] Proposal Complete? Missing mentors

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

Looks like our tasks for the uDig proposal are complete (all feedback has been accounted for):

5. Proposal for incubation as part of LocationTech: Live from github: udig-docs/admin/proposal/udig_proposal.html

•  Contact details
•  Background
•  Scope - feedback focused on establishing the scope of "mapping"
•  Description
•  Contribution
•  Committers - this section is unclear; think we need to list names from github
•  Mentors - need to find mentors
•  Interested Parties - should hunt down a larger list of downstream projects
•  Project Scheduling

We are however missing one last step "mentors".

Our two examples take a different approach:

- Aether: Collects two mentors from the architecture committee.

- Marketplace Client Project: grabs a representative from the Eclipse Foundation, and from EclipseSource making no note of their role.

The "Starting a New Project" page recommends: "If necessary, you can request mentors from the Architecture Council via Bugzilla"

Evaluating how successful that will be:

- the Architecture Council shows 75 issues open, oldest one from 2009 (so not that bad) oh wait they only started this in fall 2008 (so perhaps bad)

- three open mentor requests with one from 2010 For the ELF project marked "new"

- so no good guess on turn around time

So with that bit of research in mind I am going to try our email list first...
