I agree with the analysis from Jerome and Greg. All three of Chukwa's current committers are its original contributors. An important- and often difficult- part of Apache community is growing and managing the developers working on the project. Some experience adding people in the Incubator would be valuable to members (both old and new) and would result in a quorum less volatile than three.
Given that the team is small and renaming will be expensive and tedious, that requirement seems purely punitive. No positive reason for it has been raised. So I am +1 (non-binding) for option (2), incubation with TLP class naming, but incubation release naming. > Yes, it seems that Hadoop PMC should supervise the vote for the chair, with > a slightly frustrating cc list of all of the actual committers to chukwa. > That way, nominations and votes for chair are archived on a private list. > > But the Incubator doesn't just say yes/no.

It voted to recommend it to the Incubator so that it can gather a community invested in its future and capable of meaningful consensus on the challenges before it. Given that the very direction of the project has been raised as an open issue, the benign neglect of the Hadoop PMC is not a viable solution. -C --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
