These are great points, Alan. It would be also great if you can help us to finally get the answers to the questions raised in this thread wrt Owen's -1. We have tried to get a better understanding of Owen's position and have narrowed it down to asking a pretty binary yes/no kind of questions. The majority of the project contributors (and the voting count shows it clearly) are in favor of doing this release in the proposed state of the source code.
My take is that members of this incubating project tried hard to resolve the issues instead of simply plowing forward. However, the questions have remained unanswered for more than 3 days and well after the closing of the official vote. I don't think the community has to wait indefinitely before publishing the voting decision. As it has been pointed out earlier in the separate discussion thread, an ASF mentor's role is to help a podding project to move forward according to the accepted Apache Foundation practices. And I am personally highly appreciate your input to the matter and explanations about possible outcomes down the road. How do you suggest we can resolve this situation? What's the ASF way of dealing with this sort of predicaments? Shall a person who raises certain concerns openly defend his or her stance in order to resolve everything in a timely and community oriented manner and finally answer direct questions? Please keep the input coming! Thanks Cos On Mon, May 21, 2012 at 09:49PM, Alan Gates wrote: > I don't know what the rules are for a BOM vote.
