Hello Andy,

thank you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention. Also thank you and your colleagues for your work as the Automotive PMC, guiding us and reminding us of the principles and the framework we chose to operate in.

It appears to me that the individuals in this project operate according to patterns and practices instilled by the automotive industry's typical way of working - which is to a degree very different to how open-source projects handle things. So what we are observing here is some sort of learning curve of everyone involved to integrate the practices and culture of both worlds. For example, in the area of committer / project lead elections the notion of “handing over” from one person to another by simple assignment is an everyday routine we are accustomed to in our industry. (Un)fortunately this concept is totally non-existent in the Eclipse framework. I’m sure this is known theoretically but to really realize it, it probably needed some practical training through elections not working out as expected. I’m grateful that we have the PMC and the EMO supervising these processes.

With regard to the participation rate in elections, I’m under a similar impression as Alexander Lanin has just expressed it. The project is immensely broad and individual working areas are inversely small (compared to the full scope). Hence,  a reasonable judgment of the merit brought in by a nominee can realistically only be provided by a relatively small subgroup of committers. People are struggling to respond in a sensible and fair manner. Therefore, I’m not surprised by the low numbers of participation. On the other hand, I believe it probably would be good to have a broader base giving their input to elections so that we can distinguish situations where people just don’t have a substantiated opinion from certain elections simply being ignored or deemed irrelevant. What I think we can do, is remind and ask everyone to partake in elections and especially ask them to provide a “0” vote if they have no specific opinion. It won’t change anything in the actual outcome / tendency of decision, but it maybe tells observers that a relevant and conscious decision was made, which also contributes in building trust.

Would you agree and do you think that would help?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Dear S-CORE committers,

 

greetings from your Automotive PMC.

 

I would like to take this nomination as a trigger. 😉

 

We approved some committer elections yesterday.

 

In that context we were wondering why the election participation was so low.

Below 30% of the committers took part in the elections.

The PMC would definitely like to see a participation rate of at least 50%. Please take part in the next elections! (see [1])

And if there are inactive committers, please consider retiring them [2].

 

Thanks!

 

Best,

Andy
