How hard is it to understand that the PMC Chair has no role (slight
hyperbole)?
Then I guess I would have to ask you, "how hard is it to understand
that the PMC chair does, in fact, have a very specific role?".
Section 6.3 of our bylaws describes that specific role.
If the PMC Chair is a visible role, the community is already in
trouble. The only role that a PMC Chair normally fills is getting the
quarterly report filed. And this is why I feel strongly that we are
discussing the wrong thing to do.
I must be misunderstanding something about what you are saying,
because I can think of a few things that you have done as Incubator
PMC Chair that has been more than filing reports...and I've been glad
you've done such things.
Projects should not be trained to rely
upon an individual; they should be trained to act collaboratively.
I completely agree, but I've found a good PMC chair to be very helpful
to guiding the rest of PMC on process issues, among other things. I
guess we've had different experiences in our years of participating
and chairing PMCs.
