Sometimes members of the PMC are on the PMC to help committers do things in the Apache way - Jim (in particular) is a member of the ASF board and likely mentored the project early on (I'd go check to be certain but I'm mobile at the moment).
- vorg 10y agoBecause it's 18 months since Groovy joined the incubator and 12 months since it became a top-level project, it could be time Jim Jagielski and all ASF members not actually contributing to Groovy leave its PMC so that the proportion of those actually committing code and similar goes up from its present 44%. OCI is ready to pounce if they don't.
- jjirsa 10y agoThe PMC can (should) invite active members of the community - there's no fixed size, the PMC can add members at any time. There's no need to worry about ratios of people committing code - the PMC is about guidance, not about writing code.
- vorg 10y agoI believe Apache Groovy implementations should be led by their technical people, so its PMC should only have people in it who can and do code, test, and write docs. Groovy's past problems have been due to managerial sorts running things.
