Hi Team, As we are in the middle of incubating, it's quite important for everyone to know about how we make the decision[1] in Apache and how can we build consensus[2].
Let me quote some of the lines from community.apache.org The most important thing about engaging with any Apache project is that > everyone is equal. All people with an opinion are entitled to express that > opinion and, where appropriate, have it considered by the community. > > Lazy consensus[3] is the first, and possibly the most important, > consensus building tool we have. > > Occasionally a "feel" for consensus is not enough. Sometimes we need to > have a measurable consensus. For example, when voting > <https://community.apache.org/committers/voting.html>[4] in new > committers or to approve a release. After go through these document, you may understand why our voting process is start from the discussion first. Please let me know if you have any question about it.
