Let me put this the right way. This vote will be conducted by the Apache voting rules as documented here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/decisions.html http://httpd.apache.org/dev/guidelines.html Note specifically: The act of voting carries certain obligations. Voting members are not only stating their opinion, they are also agreeing to help do the work. An action requiring consensus approval must receive at least 3 binding +1 votes and no binding vetos . An action requiring majority approval must receive at least 3 binding +1 votes and more +1 votes than -1 votes. All other action items are considered to have lazy approval until somebody votes -1 , after which point they are decided by either consensus or majority vote, depending on the type of action item. Product Changes Changes to the products of the Project, including code and documentation, will appear as action items in the status file. All product changes to the currently active repository are subject to lazy consensus. However, I'm opting to call a vote. =========================================================================== Presently the policy is: So if you like acronyms, then POI is an acronym. If you hate them, then we just used the name of the food for our project. If you wish to signify your love or hate for acronyms, use POI or Poi to refer to the project respectively. I propose to CHANGE this policy to: Only Poi is the acceptable spelling, POI is not an acronym. You must use Poi to refer to the project in all documentation. To preserve consistency with earlier releases all source code will use POI in class names and poi in package names. Please remember that a +1 indicates that you will help rename everything!!! [ ] +1 - I wish to enact this product change and will help [ ] +0 - I wish it to happen but will not help [ ] -0 - I don't wish it to happen but will not veto [ ] -1 - I veto the proposal. This vote will end at Thursday Friday August 1 at 00:30:00 EST. As mentioned above, to carry it must receive 3 BINDING +1 votes (active committers) and NO binding vetoes (-1). I expect that once this vote is complete that the matter should be closed. -Andy --- Andrew C.
