The thread's not confusing to me at all -- The diligence to update
the resolution to the specific Apache IDs has been performed by Matei,
so that work is done. I'll make the typo fix in the pasted board
resolution,
so that will be done too.

Actually it's quite clear to me and to those who VOTEd, some multiple
times.
If folks have an issue as I mentioned, I've left the VOTE open for quite a
long
bit of time and am closing it tomorrow. That's plenty of time for folks to
amend
their VOTE should they have wanted to.
Cheers,
Chris

Posted by "Mattmann, Chris A (3980)" <ch...@jpl.nasa.gov>.
Joe,
Thanks for your cordial tone and to the point email. Thinking about it,
I agree with you. We'll start a new VOTE in a day or so to clean up
the resolution per Matei's updates and the typo fix caught by Sebb.
Cheers,
Chris

Re: [DISCUSS] [VOTE] Graduation of Apache Spark from the Incubator
Posted by David Jencks <da...@yahoo.com>.
I agree with Joe, voting on a moving target is not going to produce a result anyone can look back on and understand. Chris, you may be able to understand what is happening but I'm having trouble from my attempts to follow this thread.
thanks

Re: [DISCUSS] [VOTE] Graduation of Apache Spark from the Incubator
Posted by Joseph Schaefer <jo...@yahoo.com>.
Chris no offense but all we can do is vote on what you put in front of us. As soon as you realized that that document was a mess the vote should have been cancelled. Right now you have no clear picture of what each vote *means* because the thing we are supposed to be approving is in flux. Right now you have people voting on the subject on moral grounds, eg whether the project deserves to graduate, all mixed in with votes cast on technical objective grounds. The only way to fix this is with a fresh start IMO.
