| [technology-pmc] Architecture Council representative |
|
Greetings LocationTech Technology PMC. The PMC is entitled to designate an Architecture Council (AC) representative. The responsibilities of the AC are to provide architectural oversight, project mentoring, and maintenance of the Eclipse Development Process. Architectural oversight is a fancy way of saying that the group periodically publishes some best practices or provides other sorts of general guidance for projects. An AC member should attend at least some of the monthly calls, but don't get hung up on that. Frankly, I think that it would be great if somebody from LocationTech attended even quarterly to give a ~10 minute LocationTech state of the union presentation. The AC is responsible for tuning the development process, so knowing your pain is valuable. More pragmatically, an AC member can mentor projects. Since many of you provide this sort of mentoring anyway, it would be very handy for me if we can formalize the relationship (e.g. I'm having trouble locating a mentor who is not me for the GeoBench project). How do we proceed? When I've asked in the past, the PMC has declined the offer; has the situation changed? Do we want to nominate via mailing list, or is this something that you'd rather wait and do on the next call? Thanks, Wayne --
