Incubator Governance Change

2017-04-22 Thread Pat Ferrel
Probably the wrong place for this but… What do people think about a governance change for approving releases through the IPMC to wit: A week of no vote activity over the release proposal of a podling should be considered a passing vote. In other words the IPMC is to become a vetoing group. I

Growing the IPMC is of no use if the members don’t show up and vote. The IPMC performs an important gatekeeper role, ensuring that podling releases are of sufficient quality to bear the “Apache (Incubating)” stamp. In my view, all IPMC members have a duty to help with that gatekeeping role. If

While I agree, asking is not enforcing. This would add enforcement that would allow the IPMC to function but have an enforceable clause that also does not allow it to roadblock by neglect. Plus about 1/2 the reason I bring this up is trying to get more votes on PredictionIO :-) On Apr 22,

I agree that lack of IPMC votes is a problem. I don’t think that lowering the bar to making a release is the solution. I wish that each IPMC member would personally commit to voting on two release candidates per year. There are so many members of the IPMC that this would easily cover all of

Your proposal violates foundation policy on releases and is therefore a nonstarter. The ipmc isn't empowered to restructure release policy. That said, talk to your project mentors about nominating competent release managers and others participating constructively in the vetting process at the

In general, the preference is to report the non-blocking issue, and confirm the podling has it entered into their bug tracker. Then they accept the +1. We don't generally wait for a code change to be made, but would block the next release if these issues are not addressed. I personally want to

Another solution is to do back door politicking where you contact IPMC members individually and ask them to take a look. Start with members who have voted on Mahout releases in the past and be specific about what you would like them do and provide links to artifacts and discussions to make the job
