It's all in the archives, but a quick recap. For Subversion, an Incubator PMC member who was never involved in the SVN community jumped in the middle of a committer vote to vote -1. Greg wrote a cranky email telling him to go away. Most of the committers in SVN were taken aback by the behavior. "Who is this person? Why do they get to vote -1? " For OODT, we voted on a committer - but forgot to do the "pre-acknowledgement" and Chris got taken out to the woodshed by some members because we sent the "ack" *after* the vote. Chris didn't go cranky, but I would have. (I was in the middle of moving when that happened - even then I threw away a few cranky emails...) > And given that Subversion clearly (should have) had more > than 3 PMC members, how did it impact? Even after graduation, in Subversion, Greg has had to constantly reinforce that the Subversion PMC gets to make the decisions in the project and stop looking for others to set policy - as that's the (false) precedent set by the Incubator. The behavior of the Incubator PMC can set a bad tone - and those of us mentoring have often had to take proactive efforts to undo the damage. -- justin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
