Re: [VOTE] Apache Cassandra Release Lifecycle

2019-10-01 Thread Stefan Podkowinski
What exactly will be the implication of the outcome of this vote, in 
case the content is agreed upon? What's the proposal of the voting?


The document seems to be informative rather then formal. It's verbose on 
definitions that should be commonly understood or can only broadly 
defined (what is alpha/beta/RC, GA for production, etc.), while at the 
same time is unclear and weasel-wordy on our actual commitment and rules.

[DISCUSS] C* track for ApacheCon 2020 (was: ApacheCon North America 2020, project participation)

2019-10-01 Thread Nate McCall
[Moved to C* only thread]

We got a lot of feedback from folks after this year's track. I'm keen to do
this again. At this point I think we are just looking at saying "yes we
would like to participate" and all details about tracks, etc. will be TBD.

Thoughts?

Hi, folks,

(Note: You're receiving this email because you're on the dev@ list for
one or more Apache Software Foundation projects.)

For ApacheCon North America 2019, we asked projects to participate in
the creation of project/topic specific tracks. This was very successful,
with about 15 projects stepping up to curate the content for their
track/summit/event.

We need to know if you're going to do the same for 2020. This informs
how large a venue we book for the event, how long the event runs, and
many other considerations.

If you intend to participate again in 2020, we need to hear from you on
the plann...@apachecon.com mailing list. This is not a firm commitment,
but we need to know if you're, say, 75% confident that you'll be
participating.

And, no, we do not have any details at all, but assume that it will be
in roughly the same calendar space as this year's event, ie, somewhere
in the August-October timeframe.

Thanks.

I made a couple of additional changes to the document based on the
comments, and there are a couple more that need to be addressed.

I will work on moving this document to cwiki.

Thanks,

There are a few points that need to be clarified in doc. I am also fine if we 
want to adopt the document as-is and then refine it as we build experience with 
the process.

ApacheCon North America 2020, project participation

2019-10-01 Thread Rich Bowen
Hi, folks,

(Note: You're receiving this email because you're on the dev@ list for
one or more Apache Software Foundation projects.)

For ApacheCon North America 2019, we asked projects to participate in
the creation of project/topic specific tracks. This was very successful,
with about 15 projects stepping up to curate the content for their
track/summit/event.

We need to know if you're going to do the same for 2020. This informs
how large a venue we book for the event, how long the event runs, and
many other considerations.

If you intend to participate again in 2020, we need to hear from you on
the plann...@apachecon.com mailing list. This is not a firm commitment,
but we need to know if you're, say, 75% confident that you'll be
participating.

And, no, we do not have any details at all, but assume that it will be
in roughly the same calendar space as this year's event, ie, somewhere
in the August-October timeframe.

Thanks.

Agree Joshua, the project has already 'silence as assent' and lazy consensus as 
part of its culture. It's useful when reasonably confident of a change but 
still hesitant and it is safer to at least mention it on the dev ML, eg "i'm 
going to do this in a few days unless anyone objects…"   It is a complex enough 
project.
