[VOTE] Move POI to TLP

2007-05-04 Thread Nick Burch
Hi All

After lots of discussion within POI, and Jakarta in general, we think POI
is ready to graduate to its own TLP. Thanks to the magic of ApacheCon,
lots of people have been on-hand to help finalise the proposal for this,
which is attached below.

So, now is the time to vote on the proposal:
[ ] +1 I support the proposal
[ ] +0 I don't care
[ ] -1  I'm opposed to the proposal because...

Voting will close in one week.

Cheers
Nick

OT Taste of POI Re: [VOTE] Move POI to TLP

2007-05-04 Thread Andrew C. Oliver
Awhile back when I was giving talks on POI to JUGs, I brought actual poi 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poi_%28food%29) .  It was disgusting and 
took weeks to get the smell out of the dishwasher.  Maybe it is my Imus 
moment but: Hawaiians must be sick!

Marc  Johnson was an original POI committer/project founder.  For 
various reasons the list stopped sending to him and stopped accepting 
his posts (I had the same problem).  At some point his CVS access became 
disabled (I suspect someone was fixing group permissions or something) 
and after a good while he lost his password.  At one point it was said 
that he hadn't sent his CLA, this was untrue (I was told this at once 
point as well).  He sent another copy again.   His account was still not 
re-enabled.  He kind of gave up at some point.  I had a similar but 
divergent saga and with your help it was resolved (thanks).


If someone on POI will be able to administer the account access that is 
acceptable.  Otherwise nothing will change to improve that situation really.

Mvgr,
Martin

The infrastructure guys tell me they can't re-enable Marc's account until
Jim's list [1] shows Marc as having an on-file CLA. As soon as the list
shows an on-file CLA, we can get the account re-enabled and get Marc's
passwords reset.

Probably the simplest way to get the list updated is for Marc to email
through a new CLA, which can go straight on file, rather than trying to
track what happened to the old one. I've emailed you off-list with the
details of what Marc needs to do, can you pass that on?

Right it is just HOW MANY TIMES does he have to send in the CLA before

Everyone I've spoken to about this thinks that emailing them is more
reliable than faxing, though potentially a bit more faff for the person
doing the sending. If it's any help, I think it took me two tries to get
my CLA accepted...

link says he has a CLA was Re: Commit Access [Was] : Re: [VOTE] Move POI to TLP

2007-05-04 Thread Andrew C. Oliver
According to that link. 
(http://people.apache.org/~jim/committers.html#unlistedclas) Marcus 
Wayne Johnson (aka Marc Johnson) has a CLA but is not a committer.   
This is incorrect.  he BOTH has signed a CLA and IS a committer  I 
suspect they just didn't match the name to the account.

Right it is just HOW MANY TIMES does he have to send in the CLA before
it is ACK'd?



Alas the guys 'n girls who deal with the CLAs don't seem to be here, so I
can't ask them :/

Hi All

After lots of discussion within POI, and Jakarta in general, we think POI
is ready to graduate to its own TLP. Thanks to the magic of ApacheCon,
lots of people have been on-hand to help finalise the proposal for this,
which is attached below.

So, now is the time to vote on the proposal:
[ ] +1 I support the proposal
[ ] +0 I don't care
[ ] -1  I'm opposed to the proposal because...

Voting will close in one week.

Cheers
