Dear PSC,

2015-01-08 4:02 GMT+01:00 Helena Mitasova hmit...@ncsu.edu:

 I made small language edits which did not change the meaning of the document 
 and I agree with the document.

thanks a lot! BTW, is there any open issue? If not, we could probably
move on towards voting?

Yes I think so.
Following our new voting rules, after having called for vote
Proposals are available for review for at least seven calendar days
before a vote can be closed [1]

So, please take a last look at [2] so that we can eventually start
with the voting procedure.

Dear all, I went trough the document and it make perfectly sense to me.

Just a minor comment is that we shall probably clearly specify who is
responsible for the mentioned actions: call for soft, hard freeze etc.
Basically who is responsible to recall all to the respect of the mentioned
time-frame.

I changed to decide to and decides so it is more clear that it is at the

If Project manager cannot decide by himself (e.g. he/she is not sure), he/she 
can always call for a vote by PSC.

To me this makes sense, because it's a good thing that the release manager
should have the chance to make a decision on a case by case basis. I'm more
in favor of do-ocracy rather than democratical debate ;-) but it's just my
opinion

IMHO lack of answer in a transparent procedure with reasonable
response windows just means carry on, everyone agrees. Having a
fixed last date for comments might force someone to say something (or
used as an argument for STFU later).

 Rereading it I found parts that didn't seem clear, so I reordered the
 sentences slightly to make the meaning clearer.

 While this is all nice, I am strongly lacking support in the day to
 day release management.
 Again the RC1 feedback is actually 0 (zero).

 The General Procedure in the document is lacking answers to what to
 do if no or no reasonable feedback occurs.
 Any ideas? We are in soft freeze for months.

I agree with Maris that no feedback should be interpreted as agreement. 
A statement : if there are no further comments or feedback for the 7 days, RC1 
will be released on XXX date
may help in case somebody has some issues and was just delaying posting them.

Also for the PSC, it appears that the release procedure is ready to be voted on?
