Bobby, Thanks for putting this together and my apologies for not providing feedback sooner.
The proposed bylaws make a distinction between committers/(P)PMC members. Currently, all committers are also (P)PMC members. I think this works for the number of members we have now. If that list gets really big later, we may want to change the bylaws to make a distinction. For code changes do we want to have some provision for getting changes in under 2 days if necessary (e.g. an important security fix, etc.) and/or the ability to do lazy consensus for code changes? Another thought I have is concerning changes made during release preparation. In the past I’ve taken some liberty here when small changes that don’t affect the main code or functionality (for example to the Maven build) are necessary. Otherwise, going through a 2-day vote for minor pom changes could adversely affect our ability to release. For example, if I make a mistake and need to need to do a `mvn release:rollback`, I would like to be able to just do it. Obviously major changed to the build (like when we switched from leinengen to maven) would follow the regular code change rules. Other than those concerns, I think the bylaws look pretty good. - Taylor On Jun 20, 2014, at 9:05 AM, Bobby Evans <[email protected]> wrote: > I got almost no feedback on the bylaws.
