ok, this has been taken care of. I've added myself a todo to document
what we have in place.
2) Remove inter-project commit restrictions
The first does not depend on the second. But I think the second
does depend on the first. I would like to put each to a separate
vote once all the pros and cons have been gathered from this
discussion. I'd expect each vote to operate as requiring 2/3rds of
the PMC to vote (12), with a majority of +1's within those votes
for it to pass. Other votes would be welcome with reasons as
advisory, but not binding.
This is still pending. We've had some discussions on both sides, with
the general trend towards being in favour - but haven't heard from a
large number of people.
Does anyone have anything else to add?
Are there any objections to calling a vote and abiding by the result
given the process above? (though it's now 13 votes required after the
addition of John, and I also intended to keep it open 72 hours
regardless so that folks have an opportunity to change their vote).
* Removing restrictions
The list of groups we have can be seen here: http://
people.apache.org/~jim/projects.html. There are a lot. (the page is
currently down, unfortunately)
Currently, only PMC members can commit to anything.
Rather than using this technological boundary, which can be a
hindrance, I'd rather use a social boundary. That is, if you don't
quite know what you are doing but would like to try something new,
or want to make a big change in something you don't regularly
commit to - ask first. Perhaps create a branch and have the regular
committers review it first.
I look forward to hearing your comments.
