Dear all, Thank you for bringing this topic. @ALC Beijing, Thanks for organizing and effectively executing the weekly meetup yesterday, I enjoyed the meeting :) As discussed over the call, on the topic, 'process to add a new member in exiting ALC chapter'.
Just want to clarify, We don't have any bar of committership to be a member of an ALC Chapter. As per the ALC guidelines, it is mandatory to have at least 1 ASF member plus 2 PMC members in the ALC Chapter team as mentioned at https://s.apache.org/establish-alc-chapter The rest members need not be necessarily committers, they can be non-committers. We have good experience of this in ALC Indore, some members who are currently not the committers were also played very significant roles at ground level, like having in-person meetings with school/college management for ALC events, local marketing of events etc. And regarding process add a new member to ALC Chapter: The ALC Chapter is responsible for adding new members to that ALC Chapters. Based on the interest of volunteer, an existing chapter member can initiate the Vote internally among the existing chapter members (keeping the private list - priv...@community.apache.org in CC) to invite the new chapter member. Once the vote is passed, the updates can be shared on dev@community.apache.org list. The Confluence ID detail can be shared on dev list, as the respective edit rights can be given to the new chapter member. The above information was saved in my draft and I have documented it at https://s.apache.org/j834a Also, the roles and responsibiity of Chapter member is documented at https://s.apache.org/alc-member-rr HTH!
