Greetings,
As the next step in our ongoing efforts to reform the release voting
process,
I propose that we run an experiment allowing the PPMC members of
select
podlings to earn binding votes under limited circumstances by
completing a
release checklist.
For participating podlings, the Incubator's release management
guide...
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html
... would be supplanted by the following documents:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/release_manifest.txt
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/release.html
The scope of this VOTE is limited to approving the following patch to
our
policy page:
https://paste.apache.org/k4vJ
Here is the patch content minus markup:
2013 Alternate Release Voting Process
Select podlings pre-cleared by a majority vote of the IPMC MAY
participate in
an alternate release voting process:
Should a Podling decide it wishes to perform a release, the Podling
SHALL
hold a vote on the Podling's dev list and create a permanently
archived
Release Manifest as described in the Experimental Release Guide. At
least
three +1 votes from PPMC members are required (see the Apache Voting
Process page). If the majority of PPMC votes is positive, then the
Podling
SHALL send a summary of that vote to the Incubator's general list and
formally request the Incubator PMC approve such a release.
Formal approval requires three binding +1 votes and more positive
than
negative votes. Votes cast by members of the Incubator PMC are
always
binding. For all releases after the first, votes cast by members
of the PPMC
are binding if a Mentor approves the Release Manifest.
Please note that the proposed change is both incremental and
reversible:
* It is incremental because podlings must be opted in by vote of the
IPMC to
participate.
* It is reversible because once the experiment has run its course
the
policy change can be reverted with zero impact through lazy
consensus.
Those who may have questions about the legitimacy of allowing binding
votes
from non-IPMC members should see this post from Roy Fielding:
http://s.apache.org/v7
Please vote:
[ ] +1 Yes, apply the patch enabling the experiment.
[ ] -1 No, do not apply the patch enabling the experiment.
This majority VOTE will run for 7 days and will close at 13:00 PST on
Friday,
December 20, 2013. Votes cast by members of the Incubator PMC are
binding.
Here is my own +1.
