Committee
December 24th, 2002
Auch. Maybe we should first raise a committee to decide who is to be in that committee? But before we can do that, of course we need a committee to put down the rules of voting for that committee. Who's going to be in that ruling committee? Maybe we should write an RFC for that. Is anybody volonteering for writing that RFC? No? Damn Apache... nobody volunteers for anything anymore...
Seriously: if you want to contribute something to Apache these days, it seems like you better are a good lawyer. Not for the licensing stuff, no, but to wade through tons of "internal" documents describing what you have to do and what you cannot do. Add to that the huge amount of politics (including the opposition, which is very Belgian: just block every move from the majority), and a lot of the fun of working with a community is blown away. Of course, there are people thriving on stuff like this (you know who you are). But that are not the ones who code.
