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.
I read that as saying that as little as possible should be on the
private list and that some possible allowed topics are XYZ but that if
the project wants to discuss them in public it is free to do so.
We certainly run a risk of bad feelings if acrimonious debate erupts
over someones PMC membership. Personally I feel that the openejb
community is so amazingly open and friendly that the risks are
negligible.
clearing up whose votes count for pmc membership might be good
though :-)
thanks

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

Per the "Adding Jon to the PMC" discussion:

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
