Project bylaws?
Hi Everyone,
Several interesting threads occuring on general@incubator. One of them
is about bylaws/voting. We probably need some more documentation like
this for graduation. From that thread, I thought the Ant bylaws
(http://ant.apache.org/bylaws.html) were a good example.
Kevin.

My $0.02 on this. It's always better to agree on the rules before you start arguing about them. I don't think you need to spend a bunch of time crafting legalese. But having guidelines of how you vote for what is valuable. This is especially true on contentious issues like when (if ever) you can ask dormant members to go emeritus.
Alan.

Hey Kevin,
I don't think it's a blocker since you guys have released before. 0.3.1
can go out post graduation (or during or after) and they are independent.
Thanks and sorry I've been out of touch. I thought I could move from
Rancho Cucamonga, CA to Pasadena, CA take on a whole bunch more work
at JPL and other stuff and not see any drop-off. Hah!
I'm slowly coming back from the fog now and will be here to see this
project to its graduation!
Cheers,
Chris

Chris,
I'd love to start the process you outline. We ran into some
NOTICE/LICENSE file feedback about our 0.3.1 release. Should we take
care of that before proceeding?

[DISCUSS] Graduation Vote Schedule (was Re: Project bylaws?)
Posted by Chris Mattmann <ma...@apache.org>.
Agree to points #1, #2, and #3.
Note that most projects simply agree to simple things like:
1. rotate the chair over some frequency of time X
2. abide by Apache voting policies
3. "be excellent to each other".
Where are we in terms of the graduation?
My proposal:
1. In the next 24 hours, I post up a draft graduation resolution
for [DISCUSS]
2. In 72 hours I call a VOTE (community one) on graduating via
the resolution
2a. if that vote passes, then we do 3
3. Post community vote tally on general@incubator along with draft
resolution, vote there for IPMC
4. If at least 3 IPMC +1s (from #2 or #3 or together) and more +1s
than -1s, it passes general@incubator VOTE after say 72 hours at least.
5. We post passed resolution into board agenda hopefully in time
for board meeting in Dec 2013.
Sound good?
Cheers,
Chris

I agree that
1) this should not gate graduation
2) that we should avoid creating our own legalese
3) that we should link to something that outlines the guidelines under
which we operate

Re: Project bylaws?
Posted by larry mccay <la...@gmail.com>.
My understanding is that it isn't required that we have our own by-laws and
that most projects don't bother.
It is assumed that you adopt the httpd by-laws (guidelines) in the absence
of your own.
If we can avoid crafting, interpreting and discussing our own legalese - I
think that would be best.
That said - all contributors should be aware of the voting policy in place
for our project.
A link to an authoritative definition of it - either in the httpd project
(or ant for that matter) or to the glossary for definitions of consensus,
etc would be good to have on our site.
