Re: [ee4j-pmc] Additional spec lead for servlet-api?
|
Question... do
you really need a third Project lead to enable these wheels of progress?
Remember, we do not have Specification Leads like we did in the JCP
days. The Project Lead is used to help the project team follow and
adhere to the Eclipse processes. All committers on the Project should
have equal footing to enable progress on the Specifications, APIs, and
the TCK (if there is one in the Servlet project). I would really
question why a third Project Lead is required.A bit of background...
I know from past experiences both with Jakarta EE and MicroProfile
that even two Project Leads is questionable by Eclipse. But, we have
found two Project Leads to be useful to help even the playing field. For
example, with MicroProfile, myself and John Clingan are co-Project Leads.
We communicate on a regular basis and we cover for each other when
the other can't do the Project Lead responsibilities due to vacation or
other work activities. We have never entertained the thought of requiring
a third Project Lead. All of the MicroProfile committers chip in
to help with the various project responsibilities.One bad example
is the EE4J Platform Project. Here we have six Project Leads. The
reason is that when all of these Projects were getting created for Jakarta
EE, we didn't want to spend the time to determine the proper Project Leads.
So, all of the lead organizations ante'd up a person and we all became
Project Leads. Again, I know that Eclipse wasn't thrilled with this
approach. And, we should probably revisit this at some point.So, going forward
with nominating another Project Lead is your project's choice. As
Ivar mentioned, it is a required vote among all of the committers on the
Servlet Project. I would just consider whether another Project Lead
is really necessary to accomplish what you are looking for. Thanks.

Hi Greg,You can propose a new project lead and
start an election among the committers using the committee tools on the
servlet project page https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.servlet/developerIvar
