Preface:
Before Pier calls me an ass again... ;-)
I would like to point out that despite being the chair to the PMC, I
have never had the opportunity to actually observe an election of a PMC
member. My election to the PMC was done in private as had all others
before me, and no members have been elected since.
I can only go on the written word of the bylaws and the advice I hear
from people who understand the background behind these bylaws. As Pier
clearly was there at the time, I respect his opinion. I interpret his
words to essentially mean that null PMC votes "[]" are intended to
reduce the size of the pool when assessing a 3/4's majority, and "[+0]"
votes are essentially to be interpreted as "While I don't know this
person enough to make an assessment, I'm willing to vote positively for
this person based on other people's recommendation".
I am quite prepared to hear challenges on my interpretations above. And
slurs against my character. ;-)
PMC member voting results:
Peter Donald: five +1's, one +0, one -1. Passes.
Diane Holt: six +1's. Passes. Beyond challenge.
Ted Husted: five +1's, one +0. Passes.
Ceki Gülcü: seven +1's. Passes. Beyond challange.
Geir Magnusson Jr.: four +1's, two +0's. Passes.
Daniel F. Savarese: four +1's, two +0's. Passes.
Jason van Zyl: four +1's, two +0's. Passes.
Other voting results:
Peter Donald: +6
Diane Holt: +2
Ted Husted: +6
Ceki Gülcü: +7
Geir Magnusson Jr.: +4
Daniel F. Savarese: +3
Jason van Zyl: +5
Costin Manolache: +1
Additionally, concerns were raised as to the closed nature of the
nomination process, and the perceived exclusion of those people working
on the Jakarta Tomcat 3.3 release.
I'll wait a day or so to see if any challenges surface before updating the
web site with this information. Meanwhile, I will begin to post matters
relating to other PMC business to this mailing list, starting with matters
of logistics and content of the next PMC meeting.
