The word 'justification' occurred nowhere in my email. Nonetheless, I already apologized for my poor choice of tone. I could see someone reading my query as calling for a 'resume', but I prefer to think of it as an 'introduction.'
I will continue to ask proposed podlings to draw a picture of their mentors' experience, and I will continue to look for ways to remind proposed mentors that podlings' success will depend, in part, on their involvement and commitment. Our job in evaluating proposals is to evaluate whether the minimal necessary ingredients are there. I don't claim to know exactly what they are, but clearly mentor knowledge and commitment is in there somewhere. And I may, indeed, vote -1 some day on a podling proposal if I feel that there is a really severe gap. Which, of course, won't be a veto, since we don't do these decisions by consensus, so I wouldn't expect that to be a dramatic gesture generating a giant cloud of flying fur. I have learned from this interchange that I need to be much more careful in phrasing when exploring this area. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
