I thank you and esteem the trust you guys have in me, and I feel honored of
this nomination. But (there's always a but) I literally have no bandwidth
to bear the oversighting responsibilities that a PMC member should fulfill.
If I have/want to be a PMC member, I need to be an active one.
Therefore, although extremely flattered by this offer, I will have to
reject. I have a more-than-full time job, two major involvements with two
open source projects outside the scope of this PMC (Jetty and Cocoon), two
cats and I'm also trying to work on the girlfriend part...
LOL, the final statement show clearly that Pier will have less
time for OSS since 'girlfriend part' (I'm married so trust me ;)
Thank you very much for your support and friendship...
BTW, with or without Pier at PMC, Apache Commiters should recognise
Pier as a mandatory system admin ;)

RE: [RESULT][PMC VOTE] PMC Nominations

2003-02-22 Thread Danny Angus
 Sorry, my mistake - I was thinking about all vote results in general,
 i.e. whatever gets voted on various parts of jakarta. 
 The problem is that even on the projects that I track, it is sometimes
 difficult to figure out what was the vote result - after the vote text
 changes few times and people change their vote and so on. 

I've been involved in setting up a few closed projects, work and publicly funded, 
involving collaborations of people from all over.
One thing that we've tried successfully is this..

A motion is proposed then after 72 hours of voting, perhaps 5 days would be more 
suited here, it is the responsibility of the proposer to post the result back to the 
list on which the motion was proposed. 

Only when the result is posted by the proposer is the motion formally accepted or 
defeated.

No changes to the motion are allowed, you would have to defeat the motion and propose 
an alternative.
Likewise no additions are allowed, instead another motion should be proposed.

It would only take 5 minutes to adopt this and it might a little extra discipline to, 
or remove some abiguity from, the Jakarta voting rules.

one of the problems we have in the commons is the number of votes which 
spawn threads which go on for ever without any clear conclusion. that's 
why i think that announcing clearly when a vote is finished is a good 
thing.

this particular round of voting starts with sam: http://marc.theaimsgroup.
com/?l=jakarta-generalm=104518242028805w=2

sam suggests that the vote is finished here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/
?l=jakarta-generalm=104569451208501w=2

why forward the result to the relevant people?

in the last round some people elected were never even informed. i think 
that the people should be informed:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=jakarta-generalm=104568409524148w=2

sam replies:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=jakarta-generalm=104568599627074w=2

so that's why i forwarded the result to everyone concerned.


is this an experiment which shouldn't be repeated?

or does it just need refining?

IMO all vote results should be at least posted to the pmc list.

The PMC should be able to at least review the results.

Things like adding new dependencies to a project, moving code, 
releases, major changes need to be very visible to the entire
PMC, even if few members are involved in each project.

Agreed. It seems like a stupid thing to suggest, but a more formal
structure may work [I hate it when people try to setup rules in which
things will work].

ie)

Collection of nominations
Voting on nominations
Offering of position
Refusal or Acceptance

I think a while back the discussion existed [on Jakarta General] that
people should not be informed they've been nominated until successful so
as to avoid issues.

 Last week I was happy working on my project.  Then I find out that
 voting rights on releases will be taken away unless I join the new
 expanded PMC. But the process appears to be in shambles.

Again, I think we need a little common-sense process:

Project votes on readiness for release.
Project requests permission for release via their PMC members, who get
such permission via a vote on the PMC list.

This has some issues, for example String Taglib [one of mine]. I'm not
sure anyone else but me really has any interest/investment in it, so I
could happily sit trying to get a release vote without anyone really
caring to +1.

 When the PMC decided to expand from 7 to up to the number of committers
 worth of members, nobody thought to spend 45 minutes creating a voting
 servelt to streamline the process?  98% of us are programmers and all we
 could come up with was completely chaotic +1/0/-1 on a mailing list?

The perils of an open/meritocratic community. We're all supposed to just
leap in and believe we have a right to go do something. There's rarely
anyone who is prepared to speak for the community.

insert quote about herding cats and open source

I imagine the problem is that +1/0/-1 has worked in the past, but no one
has considered the fact that it doesn't scope on an individual level.

 All I want to do is write code and manage HttpClient to a full release.
  Its all I have time for.  Already this PMC chaos is taking more time
 than I want to spend on it.

Belonging to community seems to burn time :(

 You guys are freaking me out.

Common sense seems to usually prevail.

Seriously - there seems to be quite a bit of angst over this.  Since

Not exactly. *Eventually* it will happen, but there is no taking away 
voting rights, and certainly not now. Being part of the PMC won't 
change your way of doing things for now, other than making the PMC fully

Well, this is how all Apache operates, I wouldn't expect to wait for a

interesting.

Re: [PMC VOTE] PMC Nominations

2003-02-19 Thread Henri Yandell

Nominating like this seems counter-productive. At least in the spirit it
usually occurs. ie) lots of +1's thrown about on the list etc. It'll be a
nightmare.

Why not just go into a nomination phase in which someone [I'm happy to do
this if need be] collates a list of nominations, and then the entire list
is voted on.

Then each person's number of votes are counted to make sure they got the
required amount [for example, I plan to only +1 2 of the httpclient people
as I've never heard of the other one. I don't know if this is the right
spirit, but it feels right. I even suspect that people shouldn't vote on
people who share projects with them, so PMC people become those who are a
part of the community automatically].

Just a view against the 'jump right in and nominate a person at a time'
idea.

FYI: My preference is for monthly batches.  My aim was to complete each 
batch in time for the board meeting, but this one went astray...

Suggestion: let's call this round complete at this time, and start a new 
round next month.  I'll notify the board later tonight that everyone in 
the following list (minus Pier) is to be added to the Jakarta PMC:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=jakarta-generalm=104518242028805w=2

At the same time, I will also request that Stephen Colebourne be 
dismissed without prejudice [1] from the roster of the Jakarta PMC.

Next month, lets start with the nominations that didn't quite make this 
round, and add to the list.

my reasoning was purely pragmatic :)

last time, some names were attached in a similar way but failed to gain

might be better served by someone more close to Jakarta as a whole.

The criteria you used for nominating people seems a bit weird to me. 
Release managers I understand somewhat, but contributers to the
newsletter?  That's like saying those that baked cookies for the last
board meeting should be nominated.

Weird.  Arbitrary.  Rewards self-promotion, not necessarily merit.

I am especially disturbed since your list of release managers is
definitely incomplete.  What did you use to generate this list?

I distinctly remember that Morgan Delagrange served as release manager
for Commons Collections last spring.  He is also currently the release
manager for Jelly.  

Selection criteria aside, I nominate Morgan for the PMC.

I should take this opportunity to let everyone know that James' commiters have voted

We see it not as leaving Jakarta, but growing up. We're pretty much autonomous in our 
day-to-day workings, we have a mature code-base and a self-sustaining (if compact) 
community, and although we keep our eyes on the rest of Jakarta the only part we're 
closely tied to is Avalon, and they're moving too.

As far as I'm concerned there is no goodbye in all of this, its just a normalisation 
of the status-quo. Jakarta contains many fertile brains which James would be mad to 
ignore, James will continue to look to Jakarta as a role model and a key resource, and 
I hope as individuals, we can continue to be involved in the life and progress of the 
project.

Re: [PMC VOTE] PMC Nominations

2003-01-16 Thread Andrew C. Oliver
I propose to nominate Glen Stampoultzis who is the current release manager
for the Jakarta POI project.  

I also propose Glen shorten his last name to no more than 6 letters so 
that I can spell it
instead of copy and pasting it.

Reorging the Jakarta PMC apparently has become an annual event.  This

Looking at http://httpd.apache.org/contributors/, it is clear that the
ASF concept of a Project Management Committee permits a significantly
larger number of PMC members per project than I, at least, had ever
presumed.

Given the success that Jakarta has had to date, I don't want to propose
any rapid, irreversable, or disruptive changes.  But the goal should be
clear: the PMC should consist of *all* the people who are actively and
consistently monitoring the code.

So for the first step, I'd like to nominate the following individuals
who have contributed multiple times to the Jakarta newsletter and/or 
recently served as a release manager of a Jakarta subproject:

  [  ]  Nicola Ken Barozzi
  [  ]  Stephen Colebourne
  [  ]  Martin Cooper
  [  ]  Henri Gomez
  [  ]  John Keyes
  [  ]  Larry Isaacs
  [  ]  Otis Gospodnetic
  [  ]  Thomas Mahler
  [  ]  Remy Maucherat
  [  ]  Glenn Nielsen
  [  ]  Andrew C Oliver
  [  ]  Rob Oxspring
  [  ]  Martin Poeschl
  [  ]  Scott Sanders
  [  ]  David Sean Taylor
  [  ]  Mladen Turk
  [  ]  James Turner
  [  ]  Henri Yandell

Future steps will include introduction of a concept of an emeritus PMC
member, reinstating prior PMC members who are still active, and more
nominations (particularly those that chose to contribute to the
newsletter, and/or act as release manager, hint, hint).

Longer term, the plan is to move the subprojects that chose to remain in
Jakarta towards becoming a single community - in particular release
votes will become a responsibility of the PMC.  That does not mean that
all PMC members will vote on all releases, but that it will be from this
pool of members that release votes will be cast.  Clearly there will
need to be a number waves of additions like the one above to the PMC
before we get to this point.

Meanwhile, my plan is to see to it that those subprojects that desire to
become ASF projects will get the full cooperation and support of this 
PMC.

Now for some fine print:

* nominees may chose to decline without giving any reason

* only current PMC member's votes are binding

* once the vote completes, PMC membership is not effective until 48
hours after a board member acknowledges receipt of these votes.

Let the voting begin!

+1 for all (although not binding).

Also want ask you to also nominate Robert Burrel Donkin.
He is current release manager for commons-beanutils and is preparing the
betwixt (first) release now.

Mvgr,
Martin
