I'm curious, how does one get into the Incubator PMC?
It's open to all members now with a simple ping - ack - short wait cycle.
All members interested in contributing to this effort are welcomed if
they
would help provide the mentoring and oversight that Incubator requires.
Since the Incbuator PMC is the 'gateway' of projects (people+code)
into the
ASF - the Incubator PMC actually is a small mirror of the members and the
foundation itself.
We had previously added folks as traditional PMCs grow their members, but
something distinctive in the incubator is that once contributors succeed,
their efforts -leave- the incubator into their own TLP or subproject :)
Although it's possible to nominate a non-member into the Incubator
PMC, I'm
expecting that, most often, folks will find their way back here as
their own
efforts around the projects they've helped launch are recognized -
their name
is floated for ASF membership - and they choose to return to the
Incubator PMC
to help other new efforts succeed. Along the way, obviously the
contributor
becomes very familiar with the entire mission of the ASF, which helps
to make
them an effective mentor.
So, ASF corporate members can become members. That fits in with my
understanding as well since, IIUC, ASF corporate members can join any
PMC that they wish.
It's interesting that non-ASF corporate members can be brought into the
Incubator PMC. The outcome of this is that they virtually have the same
rights as an ASF corporate member with regards to incubating projects.
They can add themselves as mentors and, as a result, automatically
become members of that project's PMC.
I'm not complaining, just making an observation which may be incorrect.

Alan
