David,
Voting as a committer, Jon certainly gets my +1 to be a PMC
individual. But this vote seems strange whereby committers are voting
on PMC membership.
Can you be a bit more specific on the voting of people into the PMC?
OpenEJB seems to have a different set of rules and it would be good to
clarify the position... perhaps on the wiki somewhere? Most PMC's
vote for entry to PMC. Here I see a vote on dev and there has not
been clarification as to who gets to vote and whether it be private/
public, so its a bit confusing to me.
According to this link, it has a set of rules as to how things are done:
http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html
It is clear it says the PMC should be the ones to privately discuss
and vote on nominees for project, project committee, etc. How do you
propose to handle sensitive topics like discussion of a committer out
in the open? 99/100 times the discussion and vote will be clean, but
that 1/100 time where -1s and heavy sensitive discussion ensues, bad
feelings can become a issue.
Do you have thoughts on how this will be handled as well as a good
clarification for OpenEJB's rules regarding voting, etc that seem to
move itself away from the way things are normally done at Apache?
Thanks in advance for the clarification,
Jeff

Here's the vote for adding Jonathan Gallimore to the PMC so he can
assist in providing legal oversight for the project in general, but
more specifically the Eclipse plugin which needs more oversight.
Vote will be open for at least 72 hours -- likely far beyond that as
we tend to be a 4-5 days kind of group :)
Here's my +1
