Agreed, IMO the role of the champion is to help the podling get started (which might include help find a sponsor, mentors etc) and they might only follow things from afar once that's done. It's different from a mentor who's supposed to stay active until graduation, but in some cases the role/people overlap, without problems. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
