Question on sending email to PMCs ?
Hi there,
In May there is in Germany the JAX ([1]) conference and the host is
about to "announce" the so called "jax innovation award" ([2]). This
award may be in interested of the projects, hosted at the ASF, since
they're innovative :-)
So I'd like to mail an informal email to pmcs@a.o that all PMC member
know about that award. Will PMCS be the right point for doing
something like that, or better using this list, or even none ?
Thanks for any feedback.
-Matthias

As you've announced this to the public community@ list, to which all ASF
members and contributors are welcome at, I'd suggest you've already done
a perfectly complete job of announcing this. It would be good to see more
ASF-related press pointers, awards and so forth at this forum. Such posts
come up on members@ but I think those sorts of announcements have a wider
audience, such as here :)

My personal opinion is that PMCs exist for internal discussion - so if the
foundation wants all communities to know something, they would mail pmcs@.
So depends if the below is an internal or an external news item. Formally,
you'd send this over to the prc@ and they'd decide if they wanted everyone
to know it etc, or maybe they'd just send it to specific PMCs.
Otherwise, just sending to community@.

Well, when Frank from S&S asked me about this a few weeks ago I
told him to send this to the PRC, i.e., press@a.o.
ciao...

who knows whether they'd care? not me...
but IMHO the right test isn't whether they're likely to care (or not):
it's just whether it's appropriate. as much business as possible such be
conducted in the open on public mailing lists. the pmc lists should be
used for confidential matters only. is there any reason why this
information needs to be private?
if not then IMHO it would be much better to use one of the many public
channels (for example: this list; planet apache; the public lists).

Is this appropriate for all PMCs? What makes you believe that they'd care?
