Discussion seems to have settled down on this topic,
so it must be time for a Vote.
This concerns everyone on the dev mailing list,
so please all vote, not just PMC committers.
Review the current draft at http://lenya.zones.apache.org/docu/guidelines.html
for the latest version.
Apart from possible minor tweaks, are you happy with the
current content?
As a preamble I would like to note, that I am currently on paternity
leave and will not be able to be very responsive until next week, but
nevertheless I will try to give some feedback:
- I think the mission of Apache Lenya needs be more detailed, e.g.
framework with out of the box samples, scalable, performant, backwards
compatible, ... I think we really need to define our goals resp. link
to a document which is defining the goals explicitely, otherwise I am
afraid this whole thing is pointless.
- Re emeritus: What means "not contributing in any form"?
- Re the PMC chair: What means "the chair has the power to establish rules
and procedures"? Isn't that the role of the PMC itself?! And what means
"including of the PMC itself"? Hmm?
- I think the Quartely reports need to be approved by the PMC before sending
to the board
- Electing PMC members: I think the general rule should be that
committers are not PMC members from the very beginning when they become
committers.
- Voting: Conensus means to me that everyone agrees or do I
misunderstand consesus?
- Voting: Why the term lazy majority and not just majority?
- Veto: why does the pmc chair has the power to decide if a veto is
valid or not
- voting procedure: i guess not all votes will be done on the dev list?!
- code management: why are old branches unmaintained?!
as a result of my questions and remarks I am -1 re the content of
these guidelines
Without being negative, but generally speaking I think people haven't really
read this document closely and hence just say +1. I hope I am wrong.
Nevertheless I still believe that we should start with a white sheet of
paper
and vote on every "paragraph" and also attach a reasoning for each
paragraph.
Thanks
Michi
Voting ends one week from today, Thursday, July 13, 2006 (UTC time).
