Fwd: June reports in two weeks
Gary: you wanna volunteer for the podling report this month?

To: general <ge...@incubator.apache.org>
Hi all,
There's plenty of time still before the June reports [1] start flowing
in. As an early remainder to podlings starting to draft their reports,
here's how the IPMC saw your status as of the previous quarterly
report in March [2]:
IP clearance: Openmeetings
No release: Bloodhound, Cordova, OpenOffice
Low activity: Kalumet, Kato
Low diversity: Bigtop, Etch, Isis, HCatalog, S4, Wave
Ready to graduate: Flume
Has the situation in your podling changed over the last three months?
If not, what's your plan for improving the situation? Is there
anything for which you'd appreciate more help?
I'm especially worried about Kato as it seems like the project has
more or less died even though the JSR 326 / Oracle trouble got finally
sorted out. Is it time to retire the project or can we hope for a
revival?
I also wanted to start preparing for this reporting round in good time
by assigning shepherds [3] already now. Using a fuzzy algorithm based
on the available volunteers, their stated preferences, and the
podlings they're already mentoring, I came up with the following
initial assignments that I've also recorded on the wiki page:
Benson Margulies - CloudStack, HCatalog, Kato
Dave Fisher - Bloodhound, Flume
Matt Franklin - Bigtop, Flex, Openmeetings
Matt Hogstrom - Cordova, OpenOffice.org
Jukka Zitting - Etch, Isis, S4
Mohammad Nour - Kalumet
Ross Gardler - Wave
Feel free to shuffle these around or ask for someone else to fill in
if you're expecting to be too busy for the extra reviews in early
June. Other IPMC members and interested observers, please jump in and
volunteer as extra shepherds if you'd like to help this effort.
As discussed earlier, shepherds are not there to replace existing
mentors. If everything is going well with a project, the shepherd can
simply acknowledge a report and move on. If there are any relevant
questions that the report doesn't answer, the shepherd may ask the
podling and its mentors for more details. And finally if something
seems wrong, the shepherd should raise a flag for the mentors and the
rest of the IPMC to focus on. Most importantly, we need to be talking
*with* the podlings, not just *about* them, so especially any
constructive and encouraging feedback to them will be highly useful.

Yes, sorry about this but I am a bit out of contact. I am effectively
away until next week but I would like to make some time to try to at
least contribute to the report.
A few small things that immediately spring to mind that could be worth
pointing out are:
* we have apparently had some limited growth in the community with
people providing code to the project
* the last report that I remember, I think we had talked about first
commits and now we appear to have a reasonable body of code that will
form the bulk of the initial release.
I think from that it is clear that I haven't had time to come up with
much! I will try to make sure that I have some time to help review tomorrow.
Sorry about the bad timing and a big thank you to Greg for the extra help!
Cheers,
Gary

Offlist, I've heard both Gary and Hyrum are out of town. I'll write up
something, but I will need the community to review it.

+1, though I understand that yesterday and today are UK holidays.
(I'm travelling at the moment, and can review, but not contribute to,
the report.)
