Re: [SPAM] PSC responsabilities

Re: PSC responsabilities

I agree that some PSCs are not exercising their obligations and are just there for their rights when there are selfish interests. Others are just because they are now on other things and have become obsolete.

In summary, I agree that a PSC lifecycle should be implemented somehow.

  • PSC responsabilities
    Hi everyone,

    I was preparing this year Ranking of contributors and I am concerned on some information I found when crossing this data with PSCs.

    I found several PSCs that are not involved into their respective repositories. For example, I found a PSC team that has 5 members, 3 of them participated in 1% of the PR, on of them on the 15% and the last one on 98%. The repository was big (more than 400 PR on one year). In other examples, the PSC only participated in their team PRs.

    Even in my case, I think I need to improve my collaboration as a PSC.

    I think we need to improve this situation as a Community, otherwise, people will loose faith in the PSCs and how OCA works. Some ideas I can think about:

    - Control PSCs on big repositories (it is hard to set a proper KPI on small repos)
    - Demote PSCs that are not contributing properly according to this KPIs
    - Review this KPIs yearly
    - Split bigger PSCs in order to avoid too much work
    - Avoid people to be PSC of more than 3 big PSC Teams
    - Give PSCs some extra benefits (lower fees on OCA days, special t-shirts...)
    - Give PSCs recognition of their work (easy to say, hard to think about it)

    Maybe I am dramatic here, but I think it is important. WDYT? Shall we do something about it?

    Kind regards,
