Draft email to member list to try and recruit some new mentors
Hi,
I’m planning an sending an email to members@ to try and help get a few more mentors on board.
Draft email below. Any suggestion of what to add? More reason on why someone would want to be a mentor would be helpful.
--------------------------
Hi,
The incubator PMC needs you!
We have a number of existing podlings [1] and several new podlings starting up at the IPMC than need mentors.
As an ASF member all you need to do to become part of the incubator PMC is to ask. [2]
Some reasons you may want to become a mentor:
- Share your experience and knowledge.
- Learn more about the Apache Way and how different projects operate within that.
- Be actively involved to helping a project become a top level project.
- Help build a community around a project
- Polish you skills on reviewing releases.
And, lets be honest, it looks good on a resume :-)
If you would like to be a mentor please contact us.
Thanks,
Justin

Here's are the list of podling project that currently have less than 3 mentors and may need some help:

If someone wants to have a go at making Whimsey generate the above list so we can point potential mentors at it that would be a great help.
Thanks,

Hi Justin,
Good goal to try to get more mentors.
Considering that some of the members may be unaware of the requirements with regard to mentorship, I would suggest adding a (short) list of expectations for mentors. The way I think of it, once established, it's a commitment of attention more than a commitment of time. That is, mentors need to be aware of what is going on, but need not spend a large amount of time (unless there is a release coming out).
The formal responsibilities are documented https://incubator.apache.org/policy/roles_and_responsibilities.html#responsibilities_toward_podling_community <https://incubator.apache.org/policy/roles_and_responsibilities.html#responsibilities_toward_podling_community> but might not be indicative of the amount of effort needed.
That said, here is my suggested list of expectations once the podling is established:
subscribe to private, dev, and commits lists
scan lists looking for anomalies (dev discussions on private list, bad behavior, etc.)
encourage PPMC members to look for new committers
review/vote on proposed releases
review/approve podling board reports
I'll be the first to say that this is just based on my experience and might not match others' expectations. But I'd hate to scare away potential mentors because they think being a mentor is a huge time sink.
Best,
Craig

Hi,

Anyone can help out with mentoring duties and do the same job, it’s just not official (whatever that means) unless you are an IPMC member. So if you want to do it just go and do it.
Alternatively you could help out out at the incubator (review a few releases, answer a few questions, review or contribute to the podling report) and get voted in as a IPMC member and then be able to official mentor project. (This is an uncommon path, but that’s what I did.)
Thanks,
Justin

HI,
Update of draft email below, if there no further feedback I’ll send this out is a few days.

Hi,
The incubator PMC needs you!
We have a number of existing podlings [1] and several new podlings starting up at the IPMC than need mentors.
As an ASF member all you need to do to become part of the incubator PMC is to ask. [2]
Some reasons you may want to become a mentor:
- Share your experience and knowledge.
- Learn more about the Apache Way and how different projects operate within that.
- Be actively involved to helping a project become a top level project.
- Help build a community around a project
- Polish you skills on reviewing releases.
And, lets be honest, it looks good on a resume :-)
So what is expected of you? Basically this:
- Subscribe to the projects mailing lists.
- Scan lists looking for anomalies or possible issues.
- Encourage PPMC members to look for new committers and grow their community.
- Answer questions on incubator or ASF process and policy or direct them to the correct place.
- Keep the project's roster up-to date.
- Review/vote on proposed releases.
- Review/approve podling board reports.
- Help on podling setup and podling exit (hopefully graduation).
Mostly you just need to be aware of what is going on and for a smoothly running PPMC there is little work. You can find full ist of responsibilities here. [3] If you would like to be a mentor please get in touch.
