Re: [iot-pmc] [kanto-dev] Eclipse Kanto has no project lead
If the project falls into dysfunction, the PMC and EMO have a responsibility to reboot the project if possible. If a dysfunctional project cannot be rebooted, it will be terminated and archived by the EMO.

Whether or not the project is dysfunctional is determined by the PMC.

We do not generally have a list of candidates who can swoop in to replace a project team. Rather, we would look to the community to step up to support the project. By my observation, the project is functional now and -- AFAIK -- able to accept pull requests and otherwise re-energise itself if the community steps up. If developers who are ready to contribute to the project exist, please encourage them to create pull requests so that they can establish a pattern of contribution and put themselves on a path to become committers.

There is no PM role. Rather, the EDP defines a project lead (PL). Fundamentally, the role of a PL is to help the project team operate in a good open source manner as defined by the EDP and be a liaison between the project team and the EMO; there's also some practical matters related to resource management that we lean on the PL to help with (e.g., some enhanced privileges on GitHub). It's really not a management role, although it does come with some responsibilities. In many ways, PL is a sort of "super committer". The role is described in the handbook.

HTH,

Hello everyone,

Since I haven't been active on the Kanto project for more than 2 months and I have no intention of contributing to the project in the foreseeable future, I will retire from my role and responsibilities as a committer on October 21.
To the best of my knowledge, there are currently no candidates that meet the Eclipse requirement that are willing to take on the PM role. There might be candidates for the commiter role, but they don't have no history of contributions to the project. There is no one working in the direction of creating contribution history in the last 3 months.
After my retirement, the project will be left with a single committer. Could anyone clarify what the fate of the project might be if it is left without a PM and committers? My understanding is that the PMC and EMO should step in to find people interested in the project. If there is no interest the project will be terminated.

Best regards,

Dimitar Dimitrov

Hi everyone. 

Girish must first attain committer status to become eligible for the project lead position. To my knowledge, he is not currently a committer. See this page: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/iot.kanto/who

A project's current committers can elect new committers after the candidates build a public record of contributions to the project. In other words, we need to see a history of merged pull requests from Girish (or other public contributions) before he can be elected.

This is the relevant section of the Eclipse project handbook: https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#elections

I shared this information with Girish and will meet with him soon.

Best Regards,

Frédéric DESBIENS

I believe Girish Kumar from BGSW was going to take over responsibility for the Eclipse Kanto topic.

Greeting Eclipse Kanto project committers.

 

The Eclipse Kanto project's project lead has recently retired from the position leaving the project without a project lead.

 

The project lead role is an important one in the EDP, and so I hereby ask you to work out amongst yourselves which of the existing project committers would be an appropriate replacement and initiate a project lead election at your earliest convenience.

 

If you have any questions, please connect with your PMC or the EMO.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Wayne
