Missing Mentors

[Justin Mclean <ju...@classsoftware.com>]

Hi,

A while back we went though the process of identifying missing mentors and t was discussion that there a good correlation between not signing off reports and being missing. Whimsey has a page that tracks this [1].

From  [1] I can see a number of mentors that have not been signing off reports. Do people think it time to ask those mentor who are not being active to either become more involved or step down?

The good news is that with some mentors standing down (who appear on that list), and some projects graduating there’s only only 13 mentors I’ve identified that we need to check if they still want to continue or have the time to help their podling out. That’s huge improvement over last time.

There also seems to be another (slightly weaker correlation) that more than 1/2 of these people have not signed up to the podlings private list. Now mails can be read on list.apache.org but that’s probably another good indicator along with not signing or reports and not checking releases.

Thanks,
Justin

Provided OpenWhisk has another podling report before graduation. Otherwise,
I’ll have missed out on sign offs entirely by joining too late. 😅

You’re fine, the 13 people I extracted from this I’ve not listed anywhere public. They probably know who they are and hopefully decide what best for their podlings if they are not being active.

I think the biggest take away is last time we look at this I think there was 70 odd mentors flagged as potentially missing. This is a huge improvement aver last time, and possibly shows that mentors are being more engaged and active.

The report has some limitations:
- It’s parsed from the incubator reports so it can only go off what text is in that. 
- Som times it’s not 100% correct
- The podlings are listed form oldest to newest left to right.
- Orange mean you missed a sign-off, blue you signed off the report.
- It includes podlings that have graduated
- It includes people who are no longer mentors.

Having dates of sign-offs would probably help and  would separating current podlings from graduated one and indicating where some one is no longer a mentor,

Thanks,
Justin

I am twice on the report of I am one of the 13.  I can't figure out how to
read this report very well.
