https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/Proposal%3A+Improving+Onboarding+Experiences
I've finally finished the PMC Chair onboarding update. It feels like
another important onboarding improvement would be the process around how
new PMC *members* are invited.
Currently, the notification process for new PMC members is purely up to
each project, so there's no standardization - and no cross-ASF way to
ensure new PMC members get at least a little background information.
Without unduly burdening PMCs, how can we improve this? If ComDev
builds a template email, how many PMCs would use it? Alternately, if we
can build a Whimsy tool that provided some onboarding information to new
PMC members when the roster is updated, how would that get used?
I think the key needs for new PMC members are:
- Ensure any newly appointed PMC member sees - and is encouraged to
read! - the core "what a PMC does" docs:
https://apache.org/dev/pmc#policy (the obvious PMC policy guide)
https://apache.org/foundation/marks/responsibility (a key guide to
ensuring PMCs are at least aware of our trademark policies)
- Editing each of the above for clarity and completeness.
- Including any "why" or rationale documentation, like:
https://community.apache.org/contributor-ladder.html#pmc-member
Anyone else got brainstorming ideas or time to help?
