Hey Chris As an officer you can be a champion if your project you chair (Samza) is sponsoring the incoming podling with the intent of merging the two communities - "Where the Champion is not a Member of the Foundation (i.e. is an Officer only), the Champion shall be a member of the PMC of the Sponsor.", did not think this was the case based on the proposal.
Makes sense about the committers and developing the community during incubation, was just curious because there where some people with 20+ commits not in the initial committers list. Was not looking for a change, more that there had been some thought behind this exclusion and how the project intended to start developing that community -Jake On Thu, Mar 17, 2016 at 11:58 AM, Chris Riccomini <criccom...@apache.org> wrote: > > The proposal has the incubator listed as the sponsor and a quick check > shows Chris Riccomini is not on the IPMC or a member currently, details on > roles are available at [1]. > > I was under the impression that I could sponsor because I am an officer: > > "A candidate project shall be sponsored by an Officer > <http://www.apache.org/foundation/index.html> or Member > <http://www.apache.org/foundation/members.html> of the Foundation" > > The officer page lists me as a VP of Apache Samza.
