Noel I'm also with you - I don't think that - unless the ODE community have some concerns - there is any need for any votes. I simply started a vote on general because I thought it might be quicker than arguing about whether a vote was necessary!
AFAIC we can get on and bootstrap the PPMC now. Paul On 6/8/07, Noel J. Bergman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
> Cool :) So should we have a vote on ode-dev then? <<shrug>> Sometimes I think that we get a bit vote happy. Is this really something that is in need of a vote? E.g., is this a policy decision, karma grant or code release? Does being a Mentor grant any special powers/rights? Is it really just a term for a PMC Member who is actively engaged in the mutual act of mentoring the community? Now, let us say that you have a vote. The result is 6 to 4. Majority, even 60%. But I'd hardly consider that a consensus. On the other hand, if there is a clear consensus, do we always need to explicitly count it? Consider: do we need to vote for a release manager? The answer is no, by the way. We vote for a release, though. We require a community decision on the release, in large measure to protect individuals. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
