Re: Gora community size (was Re: WELCOME to [email protected])
Excellent, so it looks to me like either addressing Ferdy's concerns or getting a +1 from another PMC member is all you need. Sent from my mobile device, please forgive errors and brevity.

Hi Ross, Thanks also for your comments. It's given me something to work to. Best Lewis On Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 5:06 PM, Ross Gardler wrote: > > You are correct.

I would therefore really appreciate some advice on how to > progress with this. You are correct. All releases must carry three +1 votes. It's one of the few fixed points in the Apache Way. I note from the Gora archives that the VOTE text was incorrect and as a result one member of the community felt unable to vote. At this point the vote should probably have been cancelled and called again. In addition to the incorrect wording a community member (Ferdy) raised some issues, at least one of which you responded to saying "For me this is the most concerning and I don't like the look of it one bit." Ferdy is not listed on the graduation resolution [1] so unless he's recently been voted in he is a community member, and a valuable one at that since he clearly evaluated the release candidate. His concerns should be properly addressed (preferably by him with a patch ;-) By the time you get to the next release he might just have a binding vote. Regardless of the above issues, votes should run for *at least* 72 hours rather than exactly 72 hours. You and other members of the community should gently nudge other PMC members and ask them to review the release. Patience is probably all that is needed, especially in a small community. If you continue to have problems let us know.
