I looked at the voting process and it seems to say that the 72 hour window is a recommendation. Given that we have all verified the code multiple times and the community agrees that this is only a version bump, can we close the vote if we have 3 +1 votes ?
>From the policy - Release policy describes the voting process as: "Votes on whether a package is ready to be released use majority approval -- i.e., at least three PMC members must vote affirmatively for release, and there must be more positive than negative votes. Releases may not be vetoed. Before voting +1 PMC members are required to download the signed source code package, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on their own platform, along with also verifying that the package meets the requirements of the ASF policy on releases." http://apache.org/dev/release.html Majority Approval is defined as: "Refers to a vote (sense 1) which has completed with at least three binding +1 votes and more +1 votes than -1 votes. ( I.e. , a simple majority with a minimum quorum of three positive votes.) Note that in votes requiring majority approval a -1 vote is simply a vote against, not a veto. Compare Consensus Approval. See also the description of the voting process." http://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html#MajorityApproval The voting process includes: "Votes should generally be permitted to run for at least 72 hours to provide an opportunity for all concerned persons to participate regardless of their geographic locations." http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html -----Original Message----- From: Marcel Kinard [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 15, 2014 11:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vote] 3.6.1 Cadence Release 3rd attempt Yes, it started Friday afternoon: http://callback-dev.markmail.org/thread/dugazo5xrfvnqw32 Note that it is not a new attempt at 3.6.1, instead it is a version bump to 3.6.3 due to npm registry requirements.
