Hi All
I'd like to propose a new Working Group. I'm not certain the name is
right, but I can't think of anything better... Help needed on that!
For helping match Apache Projects who'd like new contributors, with
Companies who indirectly depend on them.
The aim would be to co-ordinate, provide best practice, and signpost.
It'd mostly be for small to medium ASF Projects who don't have a lot of
corporate involvement at the moment, who are key dependencies of some of
our bigger projects. It would help with getting them to the attention of
bigger Companies who use + contribute to the bigger projects, who don't
realise who in their supply chain underneath needs help. Then with any
luck, assist in some mentoring of people from those companies when they
spend some of their work time contributing to the dependency projects.
With increasing interest in SBOM (software build of materials), it would
hopefully help turn OSPO-like questions such as "I wonder if any
dependencies of Apache Awesome need help, but how would I know?" into
"I've got a recent graduate with a day-a-week of spare time, let's get
them helping with Apache Problematic!".
If ComDev likes the idea, I'm happy to lead the working group, and give it
a try with one of the projects I'm involved in. I've already roped in
one other mentor from that project to help.
Do also need help with the name!
Cheers
Nick
