I wasn't on the PMC last year, it was two years ago...

Anyhow, I am on the PMC list only because I respond to webmaster@jakarta,
and sometimes it's useful to forward stuff over there. BTW, if someone in
the PMC wants to take on that job, I can't handle it that well ATM, so it
might be better served by someone more close to Jakarta as a whole.

As I am no longer involved with any of the Jakarta subproject, please don't
consider me as an active PMC member (not even an inactive PMC member)...

Sam, 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, one more passive name on the list just adds confusion
IMO.

Take care y'all...

Really?  I didn't realize it was and thought it must have been some

Pier, Ceki, Jason and Ted are covered by the "re-add former PMC

However, these were names that did not attract sufficient number of +1's 
the first go around.  At the moment - unless I missed an email - the 
only PMC members that have expressed a vote on these names are Robert and I.

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...

You're kidding ;)

I'm more than honored to be in PMC and wonder if there is some 'private

The ASF chairmain maintains a list of members of each of the PMCs in 
cvs.  If you are an ASF committer, check out cvs module "commiters", 
look in a directory named board, and you will find a file named 
commitee-info.  Henri: your name appears in the Jakarta PMC list.  If 
you would like it to be removed, let me know.

I have not sumbitted the latest round on the off chance that there are 
any remaining challenges to be made.

   The authenticity of host 'cvs.apache.org (208.185.179.13)' can't be

   DSA key fingerprint is 79:7c:cb:6a:44:47:b2:ef:5c:66:28:d7:40:0d:b1:f9.
   Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

Is there a mailing list for those kind of announcements?

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.

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. 

If the vote results would be posted to pmc ( or checked in some CVS
or anything like that ) - it would be easier for all people to get an
idea of what's happening, even in projects they're not directly involved.

IT's not only for PMC - it is a useful information for everyone.

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 
aware of the proceedings.

Well, this is how all Apache operates, I wouldn't expect to wait for a 
better system just to get it going. As for the servlet, it would be 
interesting.

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.

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.

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.

Batches?  we don't need no steenking batches.

Seriously - there seems to be quite a bit of angst over this.  Since 
the goal is having the PMC indistinguishable, for the most part, from 
the committer base, why not do it by invitation?  People who positively 
respond are in...  Wouldn't this achieve the goal faster?

Cool - can you get rid of the logging dependence?  I just started using 
HttpClient because I gave up on the JDK HttpConnection in disgust, and

Re: [RESULT][PMC VOTE] PMC Nominations

Posted by Jeffrey Dever <js...@sympatico.ca>.
Vote results?  It unclear even when a vote is taking place and who the 
nominees are.  I thought we just finished a round on the 19th with an 
agreement that these should be done in batches.  Now Pier is up as a 
nominee again and after one vote from Sam (who suggested the batches in 
the first place) has already declined!  

WTF?

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.  

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?

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.

You guys are freaking me out.

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.

( dependencies are particulary important, if they are not under apache-like
licence )

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-general&m=104518242028805&w=2

sam suggests that the vote is finished here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/
?l=jakarta-general&m=104569451208501&w=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-general&m=104568409524148&w=2

sam replies:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=jakarta-general&m=104568599627074&w=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?

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-general&m=104518242028805&w=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.

Re: [PMC VOTE] PMC Nominations

Posted by Henri Yandell <ba...@generationjava.com>.
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.

my reasoning was purely pragmatic :)

last time, some names were attached in a similar way but failed to gain 
the required votes because no one was aware that it was a separate vote.

Hi Robert,

I think Mark's nomination follows the sprit set by Sam's initial note.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=jakarta-general&m=104275438831116&w=2

As such, I don't see a need for a separate vote.

hi ceki

wouldn't it be less confusing to have a separate vote for mark?

while i'm thinking about it, is general or pmc the right place for votes 
of this kind?
