This is a request for feedback from the community.
The Savanna project has been operating with a benevolent dictator. It
wants to upgrade to an elected PTL.
There's no set process for a project that isn't incubating or
integrated. Our goal is to mirror the standard election process as
closely as possible, but a few options exist for components of the election.
The goal is to agree on election options during this week's (15 Aug)
Savanna meeting
(https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/SavannaAgenda), start the
election after the meeting, and complete the election by the following
week's meeting. (This is also open for suggestions)
The proposal w/ options -
0. System -
a. http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/civs/
1. Candidates -
a. members of the electorate (OpenStack standard)
2. Candidate nomination -
a. anyone can list names in
https://etherpad.openstack.org/savanna-ptl-candidates-0
b. anyone mentioned during this week's IRC meeting
c. both (a) and (b)
- Current direction is to be inclusive and thus (c)
3. Electorate -
a. all AUTHORS on the Savanna repositories
b. all committers (git log --author) on Savanna repos since Grizzly
release
c. all committers since Savanna inception
d. savanna-core members (currently 2 people)
e. committers w/ filter on number of commits or size of commits
- Current direction is to be broadly inclusive (not (d) or (e)) thus
(a), it is believed that (a) ~= (b) ~= (c).
4. Duration of election -
a. 1 week (from 15 Aug meeting to 22 Aug meeting)
5. Term -
a. effective immediately through next full OpenStack election cycle
(i.e. now until "I" release, 6 mo+)
b. effective immediately until min(6 mo, incubation)
c. effective immediately until end of incubation
- Current direction is any option that aligns with the standard
OpenStack election cycle
FYI, Savanna repositories -
. https://github.com/stackforge/savanna - core services
. https://github.com/stackforge/savanna-extra - DIB elements
. https://github.com/stackforge/savanna-dashboard - horizon integration
. https://github.com/stackforge/python-savannaclient - client library
Thanks to hub_cap and other folks on #savanna for the lively discussion
and debate in forming this proposal.
Best,
matt
