Please review, comment, and vote: https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3669/
I have written a draft of some bylaws for Apache Impala. They are mostly copied from Hadoop's bylaws, https://hadoop.apache.org/bylaws.html A number of the issues addressed in the bylaws are items that must be addressed before graduation. I am seeking PPMC feedback. According to this draft, bylaw changes require a lazy PPMC majority, "3 binding +1 votes and more binding +1 votes than -1 votes". Your vote is binding if you are on the PPMC, http://incubator.apache.org/projects/impala.html You can vote on this thread on the dev mailing list (archives and subscription info available here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-impala-dev/) or you can vote on the code change itself in gerrit. The vote will remain open for 7 days, until July 25th. If there is Lazy Majority at that point, I will commit this change in gerrit and ask a committer to git push it to the asf-site branch in our ASF repo, which will put this document on the website http://impala.apache.org/. If there is not Lazy Majority, I will revise the document and re-submit it for a vote. The bylaws can be changed again later by the same procedure.
