Greetings LocationTech PMC.
As top-level project, we are entitled to representation on the the
Eclipse Architecture Council (AC).
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Architecture_Council
The LocationTech Technology PMC representative is expected to
attend a monthly one-hour call during which council business is
discussed. The call is for members only, but we do publish
minutes:

The representative can also volunteer to mentor new projects. This
is pretty important as I am having some difficulty in attracting
mentors to some of the LocationTech projects. We need to identify
two mentors for every new project, so this is a big
challenge/opportunity.
Having a LocationTech Technology PMC representative who is capable
of filling the mentor role will help us move some of the open
proposals forward towards creation review. I can be one of the
mentors for at least some of these projects, but we seem to be
lacking that all-important second mentor.
Mentoring isn't a particularly challenging job. I always try to
pair an inexperienced mentor with somebody who has more experience.
If you sign up for the project's mailing list, you can monitor what
they're up to and step in when they have a problem. If something
feels a little and you're not sure how or why, you can ask me for
advice. In my experience, the role requires only a few minutes of
my time each week on average (perhaps a little more in the first
few weeks).
All we need is a volunteer and general consensus from the PMC
members to make the appointment. A formal vote is not
required.
My records show that the PMC is composed of the following
individuals:
Jody Garnett (lead)
Andrea Antonello
Frank Gasdorf
Jesse Eichar
Mauricio Pazos
Wayne Beaton
(I'm not a good choice, since I'm already on the AC for other
purposes)
Any volunteers?
Wayne
