Hello all, I have updated our proposed bylaws to account for feedback that arose from the first vote. Here is the link:
http://accumulo.apache.org/bylaws.html The following is a summary of my updates. There was a lot of (excellent) discussion, so please do point out unintentional omissions, misinterpretations, or errors that are somewhat likely to be there. :) - Fixed punctuation errors and typos noticed by Christopher. - Voting action changes: - Noted that new actions may be added as needed to the list - Changed the release plan action to lazy consensus, falling back to majority approval) - Added release plan cancellation (re-plan) action, majority approval - Clarified difference between release plan and product release actions - Defined "codebase" using Mike's definition - Noted that committer and PMC removal actions are intentionally not defined, with references - Added release manager role section - Added release plan section, with content definition based on Mike's list - Noted specifically that dates in release plans are estimates I punted on laying out release guidelines, as we have a page for those [1] that I could defer to. I also punted on version numbering, just for now. As with other issues, I can certainly see that as a worthwhile later addition. Thank you in advance for reviewing. I'm hopeful that we can call a second vote by next week. [1] http://accumulo.apache.org/governance/releasing.html -- // Bill Havanki // Solutions Architect, Cloudera Govt Solutions // 443.686.9283
