Hi He, I'd just like to emphasize that the mission of Apache is to create software, which implies that creating releases is a primary goal. That's why we spend so much effort on getting it right. A release is an act of the Foundation, which is only possible if the PMC members vote on releases. (In the incubator, only IPMC votes are binding) Votes need to be based on review of release contents.
From your closing [RESULT][VOTE] message people might get the incorrect understanding that only three people voted. A few things that might improve your process in light of the importance of reviewing and voting: 1. When you call for a vote on the dev list, everyone who votes should tell what they checked. I'd suggest adding a checklist as part of the vote email for people to tell exactly what they reviewed. You can find many examples on the general list. 2. Once voting is done on the dev list, and there are no show-stopper issues, you can summarize the voting. Many times, your mentors and PPMC members who are also IPMC members will vote +1 and you might have three or more binding +1 votes to be done. 3. If you still need more binding votes, you can explicitly ask your mentors to vote before closing the vote on the dev list. 4 .Once voting concludes on the dev list, you can summarize the vote on the general incubator list and tell whether you have enough binding votes. 5. Once you have at least three +1 binding votes (from IPMC members) you should close the vote. As long as the release artifacts have not changed since the dev list vote, your should include votes from the dev list voting as well as the general list vote. In this case, it looks like the vote tally would be: Binding +1 votes: - Gordon - Felix Cheung - Wenli Zhang Non-binding +1 votes: Pei Wang Yuan Zhuang Shaojun Wang No other votes. 6. I hope this will help everyone to understand that there was a vote on the dev list and then another vote on the general list which resulted in a successful vote to release.
