Since the Nifi community is still new, I think it would help if the vote text included phrasing about what votes are binding since most folks probably won't be familiar with ASF norms or restrictions on podlings[1].
Would something like the following be okay with folks? ---- The vote will be open for H hours. Please download the release candidate and evaluate the necessary items including checking hashes, signatures, build from source, and test. The please vote: [ ] +1 Release this package as Apache NiFi X.Y.Z-incubating [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 Do not release this package because because... As a Package Release vote, Majority Approval will be used and PPMC member votes are considered binding. Other community members are encouraged to provide advisory votes. ----- [1]: http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 3:58 PM, Joe Witt <[email protected]> wrote: > All > > Thank you for your input.
