Fwd: Call for a new mentor for Apache Slider

["John D. Ament" <jo...@apache.org>]

Dear Slider Community,

Just wanted to forward this question to you for any additional comments.
I'm your shepherd this month for your report.  I'll note to you that you're
about 3 years in to incubation - which is a long time.  Please be prepped
to answer this question as a part of your report.

John

Hi Gour,

If you're working as a submodule, wouldn't it make more sense to simply
graduate into Hadoop as a subproject?  The process is much less painful.

If more "slider-only releases" is a sticking point, is there a reason 
that the current "slider" community couldn't put out releases voted on 
by the Hadoop PMC, maybe from a separate git repo if necessary? I know 
the work to integrate Slider into Hadoop is no trivial task, but if the 
podling can still be somewhat autonomous under Hadoop's PMC, we could 
lessen the IPMC burden.

tl;dr let's replace the IPMC oversight with the Hadoop PMC?
