[VOTE] Project governance wiki doc (take 2)

Link to doc:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/Apache+Cassandra+Project+Governance

Change since previous cancelled vote:
"A simple majority of this electorate becomes the low-watermark for votes
in favour necessary to pass a motion, with new PMC members added to the
calculation."

This previously read "super majority". We have lowered the low water mark
to "simple majority" to balance strong consensus against risk of stall due
to low participation.


   - Vote will run through 6/24/20
   - pmc votes considered binding
   - simple majority of binding participants passes the vote
   - committer and community votes considered advisory

Lastly, I propose we take the count of pmc votes in this thread as our
initial roll call count for electorate numbers and low watermark
calculation on subsequent votes.

Thanks again everyone (and specifically Benedict and Jon) for the time and
collaboration on this.

~Josh

Ah, I understand now, thank you Benedict for explaining. If I
understand correctly the intention is that all patches must be
~"deeply understood" by at least two contributors (author + reviewer)
and one of those contributors must be a comitter. In addition, at
least two committers must support the patch being merged not
necessarily having done a detailed review.

I like the phrase "+1. I support this patch" vs a "+1 I have reviewed
this patch and support it". I suppose that if the +1 is coming from a
person in the reviewer field the "I have reviewed it" is perhaps
implicit.

> Perhaps we should elaborate on the document to avoid this confusion, as this has come up multiple times.

I was confused but now I think I understand it and agree with you that
the wording is not in conflict. After the document is finalized I can
add a FAQ section and, if people think it reasonable, to
https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/development/how_to_commit.html
.

If you read the clauses literally there's no conflict - not all committers that +1 the change need to review the work.  It just means that two committers have indicated they are comfortable with the patch being merged.  One of the +1s could be based on another pre-existing review and trust in both the contributor's and reviewer's knowledge of the area; and/or by skimming the patch.

The way I've heard it articulated (and makes sense to me) is that a 2nd
committer skimming a contribution to make sure everything looks reasonable
should be sufficient. It's a touch more rigor than we do now (1 contrib + 1
committer) without slowing things down too much. If we can develop a
healthy relationship with git revert on the project as well, this model
should further be de-risked.

+1 (nb).

Thank you Josh for advocating for these changes!

I am curious about how Code Contribution Guideline #2 reading "Code
modifications must have been reviewed by at least one other
contributor" and Guideline #3 reading "Code modifications require two
+1 committer votes (can be author + reviewer)" will work in practice.
Specifically, if a contributor submits a ticket reporting a bug with a
patch attached and then it is reviewed by a committer and committed
that would appear sufficient under Code Contribution Guideline #2 but
insufficient under Code Contribution Guideline #3? I'm sorry if this
was discussed before I just want to make sure going forward I properly
follow the to be adopted guidelines.

Thanks again!
-Joey

Probably worth linking to the apache CoC in our wiki if we haven't already.

Re: [VOTE] Project governance wiki doc (take 2)

Posted by Joshua McKenzie <jm...@apache.org>.
Vote results:
Binding +1's: 17
Binding +0's: 1
Binding -1's: 0

Non-binding +1's: 9
Non-binding +0's: 1
Non-binding -1's: 0

The vote passes.

pmc quorum for the next six months (or whatever cadence we decide to roll
call on) will be 18, with low watermark of simple majority to pass pmc
votes defined as 10.

Thanks everyone for the great discussion on the topic and all the
collaboration. I'll update the wiki to reflect the state of governance on
the project.

Dinesh - I expect to see a [DISCUSS] thread from you about our CoC shortly.
:)

Re: [VOTE] Project governance wiki doc (take 2)

The purpose of this document is to define only how the project makes decisions, and it lists "tenets" of conduct only as a preamble for interpreting the rules on decision-making.  The authors' intent was to lean on this to minimise the rigidity and prescriptiveness in the formulation of the rules (so that we could e.g. use "reasonable" repeatedly, instead of specifying precise expectations), in part because this is our first attempt to codify such rules, and in part because rigidity can cause unnecessary friction to a project that mostly runs smoothly.  

The document provides an avenue for resolving disputes in decision-making when these assumptions on behaviour breakdown. However its scope definitely isn't, at least in my opinion, addressing misbehaviour by individuals (i.e. one of the serious breaches listed in part 5 of the Apache CoC), which it seems to me you are addressing here?

Since we reference the ASF CoC, and the ASF provides its own guide for handling CoC complaints (including within projects), that applies to that very CoC (and which you referenced), it's unclear to me what you're looking for.  Are you looking for a more project-specific CoC with different guidelines for reporting?  This is something you would be welcome to undertake, and seek consensus for.

    We need to spell out in the document how and where the CoC violations are reported irrespective of the role of the person in the community. This is a critical point to address. ASF spells this out very clearly[1]. We should have a similar statement in the Project Governance document, otherwise it feels incomplete to me.

We need to spell out in the document how and where the CoC violations are reported irrespective of the role of the person in the community. This is a critical point to address. ASF spells this out very clearly[1]. We should have a similar statement in the Project Governance document, otherwise it feels incomplete to me.

I think if we assume good intent, this will be a non-issue.  People
may make mistakes, but I try to have faith they will realize them and
act accordingly when told so without any need to escalate.

I do agree with the intent of not being burdensome for a community of volunteers with lives beyond the project.  However I think 48 or 72 hours is probably better and left unqualified because it's tricky.  Besides holidays which vary wildly, the weekend starts on the US Friday in the Asia Pacific region.  Also Friday/Saturday is the weekend in Israel.

I'll take responsibility for that. It was one of the discussions on the
google doc during the initial round of feedback.  The intention was to
ensure folks didn't feel obligated to check the mailing list on the
weekends or holidays (regardless of location) since we are all volunteering
our time. I intended it to mean "not on weekends or holidays for you". We
can use more specific language if we feel its necessary.

I realize this is a vote thread and I am late for feedback but I wanted to point out a couple things:

1. How/Who/Where are we planning to deal with Code of Conduct violations? I assume this should be private@ but the document does not call it out as such. We should call it out explicitly as part of the PMC responsibilities. We should also clarify how and where are CoC violations against PMC members reported and handled? Should they go to ASF?

2. Regarding vetos, I see we're aligning on ASF principles. Using -1s in a discussion or debate is very unproductive therefore we should explicitly call out that vetos (or threat of a veto) should not be used in any discussion. It should only be issued per the ASF guidelines[1].

3. Discussion #3 - "... 1 business day notice period."  Whose business day is it? US? Europe? Australia? NZ? We are a distributed community and so 1 business day is ambiguous. ASF typically states a 48-72 hour period which gives enough time to cover everyone in the community. We want to avoid people getting disenfranchised due to their location. I propose we make this longer and avoid using 'business day' language.

Thanks,

Dinesh
