[VOTE] Accepting CTR policy for the project

Using CTR for the Bigtop project has been discussed, experimented for a few
months, and discussed again on this long thread [1] for alomost a year now. The
consensus seems to be reached, but because this is a policy change I'd like to
bring it up for the vote. 

So, please cast your for per the following ledger

[ ] +1, make the CTR policy permanent for the Bigtop project
[ ] +0, I don't care either way,
[ ] -1, do not make the CTR policy permanent for the Bigtop project because...

The vote will be open for at least 72 hours and will be closed on Tuesday, Nov
24 at noon PST.

Thanks,

I'd in favor of a "soft rule" over a "hard rule". This allows for
flexibility while encouraging folks to try to engage others in the
community more.

So far the biggest rationale I can relate to is the one articulated by
Olaf -- if the project
doesn't have RTC than important stuff can flow by that not a lot of
folks realize how to
use/support (lets assume that the implementation is correct and bug
free so that the only
purpose of a peer review would be for others to actually know what's
getting where).

So what do you folks think about flipping a problem on its head and asking
the committers still working under the CTR model to always announce any
kind of major (or even mid-size things on dev@ ?

Would this be too weak of a guarantee?

Thanks,
Roman.

I agree with a lot that has been said here.  Primarily, that I see RTC as a
way to increase committer involvement.  If we know we need to be actually
watching for commits to review, we are more likely to pay attention to the
project and engage in discussion.  I think that more involvement means a
more cohesive community.

The biggest problem with RTC is that it holds up work by the most active
committers, who are the life blood of the project. CTR makes it easier for
the most active committers to focus on their work of moving the project
forward. That part can't be overlooked.

However, if there are other ways to encourage community participation, then
I would propose trying those before trying to revert to RTC.

All the other feedback seems reasonable to me. Plus I actually don't know
whether RTC can solve the problem or not. It's just a try. But I'd like to
reply in below statements specifically.

> Cos: a mechanical +1 != positive feedback. It is as good a no feedback at
all.

I actually don't agree with this point.
There's no mechanical +1 in our community regardless of RTC or CTR.
I think any committer in our community will at least viewed the patch and
provide a responsible +1. The only thing makes the +1 to a buggy patch is
just because of knowledge gap or human errors, which I in my opinion are
completely acceptable.
Speaking of knowledge gap, this sort of linked the story with my next
reply...

> Roman: With all of the above -- what problem is left for us to solve with
RTC?

One strong reason here posted by Olaf:

> Olaf: I am miss the discussion a lot.

With RTC all the committed stuffs have at least two person knowing that,
although there's a nondeterministic proportion of "knowing". This serves
exactly a way to sync up our knowledge. Isn't it?

To sum up, reverting back to RTC is a proposal trying to increase
discussions in the community.
If there's a better way to do it. I'm not sticking to RTC at all.

I don't really have a pony in this race, but I tend to agree with Cos
on this one.

Evans -- as you said -- it is about human psychology, but that's exactly why
I don't think I have a clear understanding of why RTC provides a better setup.

After all -- we're all committers, so there's no policy that would prevent us
from a physical act of git push'ing. Its all about self control.

And from that standpoint we can have self-imposed RTC today. Suppose
you decide that RTC is better for you -- well then just make it a habit to
ask for review on this list before every single commit you do. See how it
works out for you and either keep doing it or, perhaps, start using your
discretion of not asking when you feel really confident.

This leaves disruptive pushers. Honestly, I haven't seen too much of that
going in so perhaps I don't appreciate the full scope of the problem -- but
it seems to me that RTC won't solve it either.

With all of the above -- what problem is left for us to solve with RTC?

Thanks,
Roman.

Let me turn this around: under CTR if one is pro-actively seeking for feedback
but no one replies, the code could still be committed. Under RTC no one is
obliged to provide a feedback to a committer; but in this case the patch is
stuck and can not be committed. And still no one fills guilty anyone, because
it is no one fault (aka tragedy of the commons).

a mechanical +1 != positive feedback. It is as good a no feedback at all. Only
now there's a chance of dragging the commit forever.

Sorry, but I don't believe that enforcing _anything_ via policy really works.
Creating policies only lead to finding of the loopholes.

feedback wasn't provided?

This is more about psychology I think.
For example, if a committer provided a patch and seeking for review. Since
the committer do not highlighting anyone specifically, no one is
responsible to review it. And anyhow the patch provider(committer) can just
go ahead and commit it anyway according to CTR. So, no one feels guilty
about blocking the progress. Therefore no one will review it.

> How many tickets are in the JIRA, before the CTR policy was instituted,
where the only comment is '+1' or 'LGTM'?

Despite the comment is only +1 or LGTM, but it means a lot:
1) Getting positive feedback V.S. no feedback
2) Policy enforced status sync up V.S. I'm the only one who knew it

CTR vs RTC again [Was: RESULT: [VOTE] Accepting CTR policy for the project]

Posted by Konstantin Boudnik <co...@apache.org>.
so, 

let me get the presented facts straight:
 1 no matter what, under CTR or RTC _all_ contributors patches are supposed to
   be reviewed/discussed
 2 the CTR assumes that a responsible committer would proactively seek the
   feedback of his peers if such is desired
 3 RTC, being a formal requirement to get a +1, is supposedly has an effect on
   engaging the committers into a wider discussion

The #1 stands today and we are reviewing the external contributions (time
permits and all). How many of us have asked for the review/feedback and when
they did, the feedback wasn't provided? How many tickets are in the JIRA,
before the CTR policy was instituted, where the only comment is '+1' or
'LGTM'? 

So, how a format +1 (which as we know in the past oftentime lead to
non-working patches being committed) is an instrument to force committers to
seek a feedback?

Thanks in advance for any comments on this.

Why not CTR into a branch 

And RTC in jira that promotes the branch to master?

That way process can continue and those interested can delay promotion to master , without delaying other progress

I agree with Evans.

I'll admit that I have been busy with other things (i.e. a new job), hence
part of my silence in the BigTop community.  However, I also agree that the
required conversation around new commits made it easier to engage with
others.

The reduced amount of conversation can also hurt new contributors.

I believe it is worth discussing returning to the RTC model.

Hi Evans,

thanks for picking up the discussion. I have a rather strong opinion 
towards reverting back to RTC, too.

I am miss the discussion a lot.

Thanks
    Olaf

Re: RESULT: [VOTE] Accepting CTR policy for the project

Hi Bigtopers,

A year has pasted since we adopted CTR(Commit then Review) model.
I can see some draw back in this journey, hence I'd like to propose we
revert the working model back to RTC(Review Then Commit).

Let me list down some known problems I can think of.
Before I do so, you should know following are not pointing to someone
particularly. And these may be bias opinions since I'm silencing for a long
while in the community.

a). The community has less conversation because there's no +1 required.
b). Sometimes Committers are working alone, left the contributors out side
of the game.
c). Communication is the core of the open source community. Without this
it's not fun anymore contributing.

When we adopted CTR, we thought that there will be more time for Committers
to review and interact with contributors, but turns out there's no time.
Maybe we just simply need the guilty back to drive us  forward.

Any different voice here?
