Hmm, I suppose that's true -- but isn't also a problem if the "welcoming committee" waits passively for people to seek out its services, rather than actively welcoming newcomers? There's a new Samza podling setting up this week. Who might send a "Welcome to the Incubator" email to their dev list, and what might it say? * Read <http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/WhatToExpect>. * Ask on general@incubator if you need help. * If you have a question you're not comfortable asking in a public forum like general@incubator, ask a Mentor or any other member of the Incubator PMC.
