Apologies for the prior spam. That was a mishandled list admin email. As a Concerted mentor, I agree with the concern about lack of activity. I think this was a difficult month for the project considering both the general drop in participation and the typical drop in activity that we should expect to happen around the end-of-year holidays. The monthly reporting schedule implicitly requires that an incubating project show some kind of demonstrable progress month-to-month. Still, other podlings did manage to sustain activity and complete a report during this time.
I see John has already raised concern about lack of activity in the mentor/shepherd notes. I just seconded that myself. Can we consider giving the PPMC a chance to reset and aim to re-establish steady activity this month? Beyond that, I don't think there is anything more the IPMC can do to help right now. Mentors are already watching over the state of the project and responding quickly to requests for advice. I don't think this is a case where we need to add more mentors. I agree with the sentiment that pushing a project away only to bring it back later could be counter-productive. However, I would interpret a long-term (multi-month) dormant trend as an indicator that the podling isn't viable. --Chris Nauroth On 1/8/16, 8:20 PM, "Chris Nauroth" <cnaur...@hortonworks.com> wrote: >Accept > >--Chris Nauroth > >From: Ross Gardler ><ross.gard...@microsoft.com<mailto:ross.gard...@microsoft.com>> >Date: Friday, January 8, 2016 at 7:54 PM >To: "general@incubator.apache.org<mailto:general@incubator.apache.org>" ><general@incubator.apache.org<mailto:general@incubator.apache.org>> >Cc: >"d...@concerted.incubator.apache.org<mailto:dev@concerted.incubator.apache. >org>" ><d...@concerted.incubator.apache.org<mailto:dev@concerted.incubator.apache. >org>>, Atri Sharma <atri.j...@gmail.com<mailto:atri.j...@gmail.com>> >Subject: RE: Concerted may be in need of help > >+1 > >Sent from my Windows Phone >________________________________ >From: Roman Shaposhnik<mailto:ro...@shaposhnik.org> >Sent: ?1/?8/?2016 7:35 PM >To: general@incubator.apache.org<mailto:general@incubator.apache.org> >Cc: >d...@concerted.incubator.apache.org<mailto:dev@concerted.incubator.apache.o >rg>; Atri Sharma<mailto:atri.j...@gmail.com> >Subject: Re: Concerted may be in need of help > >On Thu, Jan 7, 2016 at 2:23 PM, Ted Dunning ><ted.dunn...@gmail.com<mailto:ted.dunn...@gmail.com>> wrote: >> Atri, >> >> It looks like community building is going slowly with Concerted.
