I wonder why the proposal template doesn't explicitly ask the
proposers about their belief in the Apache Way?
When I'm reviewing proposals I am looking for this in the proposal as a
whole. There are plenty of places where this shows through, e.g:
Rationale
Explains why this project needs to exist and why should it be adopted by
Apache. This is the right place for discursive material.
Meritocracy
... This is the right place to demonstrate that this process is
understood by the proposers. ...
Community
Candidates should start with a community and have the potential to grow
and renew this community by attracting new users and developers. Explain
how the proposal fits this vision.
Alignment
Describe why Apache is a good match for the proposal.
A Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand
Concerns have been raised in the past that some projects appear to have
been proposed just to generate positive publicity for the proposers.
This is the right place to convince everyone that is not the case.
Ross
It asks about
fascination with the Apache Brand and touch on it a bit in the
Alignment section. But being that one could easily be fascinated by a
brand from the outside even while not agreeing with their internal
philosophies/methodologies (e.g. Apple), I wonder why we wouldn't want
some explicit discussion of this. Since the Apache Way is a bit of an
amorphous thing, the section wouldn't really be a litmus test so much
as a way to ensure that they've fully considered the implications of
being a part of Apache. Just curious...
Thanks,
