About cc'ing general@ or private@ in votes

Hi,

We expect the IPMC to be notified of many ongoing podling votes, and
recently an increasingly common pattern for doing so has been to cc
the relevant Incubator-wide mailing list, general@ or private@.

This is a bit troublesome as it ends up with people sending their
votes to multiple lists and at least in some cases to it being unclear
where the vote is actually happening.

So instead of using cc for notification purposes, I'd recommend people
to send the original vote message *only* to the original target list
and then *forward* a copy to the relevant Incubator-wide list.

BR,

Jukka Zitting

No worries, Simone. Not your issue at all.

The private@incubator.a.o list has recently seen a huge influx of voting
emails. I'm not surprised to see Jukka provide some guidance.

Cheers,

I assume Jukka was referring to committer/PPMC invitation votes.

I'm not sure what case you are describing.  I'm the release manager for
the first release of Apache Flex.  There is a vote going on now on
flex-dev@incubator.apache.org for the release candidate. I read that once
we close that vote I am suppose to notify general@incubator of the result
and another vote with the IPMC members starts on general@incubator.  When
does the forwarded email come into play?
