Sam, first of all, I think there is a lot you don't know about the way The ASF works. John is not part of the OpenAZ project, he is part of the Incubator PMC, and as such, he has all right to warn the poddling about anything that was not done by the book. In this very case, John is plain right : committers vote should be done in the private mailing list. I would have said so when Pamela issued the original mail, but I thought it was better to let it be, for the good of the project (is it really neede to smatch down the project when it's trying to step up?). That being said, the tone of your mail is not doing any good to the project either. The goal, when a project join The ASF, is to gather a *COMMUNITY*, ie people willing to work together in good spirit. That obviously implies personal opinions, especially when being negative - to be tune down up to a point. I understand we are all human beings, we can be irritated, etc, and I'm kind of saying that we have to play a bit of politics (yuk), but this is all about trying to get people happy and willing to help. Your mail is not helping. At all. So please, when you have such complaints, chew it up, sleep over it, contact a mentor, kill a kitten, or whatever helps ;-) Ok, let's move on, now !
