| [technology-pmc] So what is the process for finding project mentors? |
|
The Faceted Project Framework proposal is moving along
nicely. There has been some activity on the newsgroup, I blogged about the
project, explicitly reached out to two projects who might be interested in
leveraging this technology (PDT and CDT), there is interest from at least three
projects at Eclipse (not counting WTP). So, by all objective measures, this
proposal is ready to move to incubation stage. The only problem, is that I
haven’t managed to figure out how to line up mentors for the project (a
requirement for moving to the incubation stage). The eclipse development
process offers no guidance on this. I tried to use bugzilla to open a “bug”
against Architecture Council (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=253040),
since that seems to be the way that AC wants to hear from the community, but there
wasn’t even a single response on the bug (opened on 10-31). Note that I
am explicitly not trying to use my connections to reach out to individual
members of AC, since I want to better understand obstacles facing projects
during the startup phase. So I have two questions for the rest of the (a) In your experience, what do projects typically do to
line up mentors? (b) What can we do to improve the process in this area? I
have previously proposed that - Konstantin
