Re: Understanding the commit-then-review workflow
A practical example of a technical veto I've seen was when we added some new optimisations that interacted badly with a pre-existing API in some rare corner cases. This actually went into a release and it wasn't until a particularly vocal community member got round to upgrading that we became aware of the issue. As it was central to a their product stack and that product stack is widely used in our field both by ourselves and the wider community this was an appropriate veto. After some heated discussion (because at first we didn't understand why this was a problem - this was an example of when a minimal test case is useless without the wider context) we were able to come up with a technical solution that preserved the new optimisations and resolved the bad interactions.

If e.g. some new committer adds code which he took from an external project and it's license is not appropriate. I've not yet seen -1 for purely technical reasons. This might happen. But usually a consensus is reached after the pros and cons got discussed on the list. LieGrue, strub On Wednesday, 9 July 2014, 3:36, Justin Mclean jus...@classsoftware.com wrote: Hi, Ugh. That looks garbled to me. What exactly is a code modification vote? Any committer should be allowed to -1 a commit (with reasons) Any committer can vote -1 it's just not normally binding (depending on project guidelines), I certainly can't see it being ignored when it does happen, even a -1 by a user is probably trying to tell you something is up :-) There was a long discussion about this when we were drafting up the Apache Flex guidelines as the default rules are not always clear. The was an attempt to get this wording fixed up but not much come of it. Thanks, Justin

Note that some tracks are topic based, while other tracks are project based.

The Big Data track is a likely candidate for this, as is community. (Internal facing, vs external facing community, worked well as categorizations at ACNA.) * Within a track, sort by type - that is, list regular sessions first, then tutorials, then lightning talks and bofs, with a blank line between each group. * And, still, we need reviewers.

Re: ApacheCon EU: What I need help with
Sergio, as we've discussed off list, if you can put together a compelling topic based track, please do so. The list you put together earlier looks great. Lets make that a tab in the spreadsheet. -- Rich Bowen, mobile edition rbo...@rcbowen.com On Jul 9, 2014 8:37 AM, Sergio Fernández wik...@apache.org wrote: Hi Rich, On 08/07/14 18:49, Rich Bowen wrote: * Check the first tab.

Re: Proposing for Apache Member?
It is a bit strange to read that 'Contributor' is not the official role for anybody who is committed to an Apache project. Equally strange is it to read that both the 'User' and the 'Developer' is defined/explained as the person who is contributing.
