Rather than a rewrite, I suggest proposing small, incremental,

changes.  Governance is easy to mess up.
Well, small, incremental was hard to do given the significantly
different information this document must now convey. I tried to keep as
much as possible yet incorporate feedback from Doug and Roy.   Below is my
proposed version, and below it is the svn diff in case that makes it
easier to see what changed.  Most of the changes were made at the
beginning.

I'm sure I haven't nailed it so feel free to comment.  And I'm not quite
sure how to do a table in mdtext.  I'm off to sleep so I'll respond
several hours from now.  Thanks for reading...

At the Apache Software Foundation, two decisions must be made by a vote
held on a
project's mailing list.  The two decisions are:

1. Code modifications,

1. Package releases

Other decisions are commonly made via votes as well, but a project may
draft by-laws
 or guidelines that describe variations to the voting processes described
below.
If a project does not draft by-laws or guidelines, it is assumed that any
votes
held to make any of the decisions listed below follow the processes
described below.

Many projects make the following decisions via voting:

1. Approving a new committer

1. Approving a new PMC member

1. Approving a new PMC Chair

1. Removing a committer

1. Removing a PMC member

1. Approving by-laws or guidelines or changes to by-laws or guidelines

Many project by-laws and guidelines describe other decisions made via
voting.
Use of [lazy consensus](#LazyConsensus) is recommended for as many other
decisions as possible.

Here is a table of the default voting processes:

# Binding Votes #

Who is permitted to vote is, to some extent, a project-specific thing.
However, the default rule is that for Code Modification, any committer's
veto counts,
but for all other decisions only PMC members have binding votes, and
all others have their votes considered of an indicative or advisory nature
only.

By default, only active PMC members may cast votes.  Project's can
define their
own definition of active, but the default definition is whether that
member has
sent an email on any Apache mailing list, made a change to any asset under
Apache
version control, or voted on any vote thread.  This low bar is intended to
cover
mature projects that don't do much other than file quarterly reports.

# Implications of Voting #

In some cases and communities, the exercise of a vote carries some
responsibilities that may not be immediately obvious. For example, in some
cases a favourable vote carries the implied message 'I approve **and** I'm
willing to help.' Also, an unfavourable vote may imply that 'I disapprove,
but I have an alternative and will help with that alternative.'

The tacit implications of voting should be spelt out in the community's
guidelines.

 Subject: [VOTE] BatchEE as an incubated project

 Since discussion about the BatchEE seems done, I'd like to call a
  vote
for
 BatchEE to
 become an incubated project.

 The proposal is pasted below, and also available at:
 https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/BatchEEProposal

 Let's keep this vote open for three business days, closing the
 voting
   on
 Thursday 10/03.

 [ ] +1 Accept BatchEE into the Incubator
 [ ] +0 Don't care.
 [ ] -1 Don't accept BatchEE because...


 = BatchEE, JBatch Implementation =

 === Abstract ===

 BatchEE will be an ASL-licensed implementation of the JBatch
Specification
 which is defined as JSR-352 (for version 1.0).

 === Proposal ===

 BatchEE specification is an effort for defining a standard API and
  way
   to
 write batches in Java. It is integrated with JavaEE (JTA, CDI)
  but
 works out of the box in a standalone environment.


 BatchEE Project is responsible for implementing the runtime
 container
 contract for the JBatch specification. Besides the implementation,
BatchEE
 Project will implement the core built-in components that further
simplifies
 the developer complex interactions with other Java EE specific
   enterprise
 operations. For example, it will define default
  reader/processor/writer
for
 jdbc, jpa, xml/json/flat files...

 === Background ===

 Until today writing batches in java meant using a proprietary
  framework
and
 link to JavaEE was quite limited (or missing). JBatch defines an
 API
fixing
 this issue and now developpers need a fix.

 === Rationale ===

 Current JBatch specificatin is released, and only the reference
 implementation is available but not really intended to be
 maintained.
 Moreover multiple Apache projects (geronimo, TomEE, ...) will need
 an
 Apache compatible Jbatch implementation to go ahread and implement
JavaEE 7.


 === Initial Goals ===

 The initial goals of the BatchEE Project are

 * Fully implement the JSR-352 specification.
 * Attracts a community around the current code base.
 * Active relationship with the other dependent projects to further
develop
 some useful batch components.

 == Current Status ==

 === Meritocracy ===

 Initial developer of the project is familiar with the meritocracy
 principles of Apache. He knows that the open source gets power from
  its
 great developers and freedom. He also developed some other open
  source
 projects. We will follow the normal meritocracy rules also with
 other
 potential contributors.

 === Community ===

 There is a great community within the OpenEJB, OpenWebBeans,
 Geronimo
   and
 TomEE Apache projects. BatchEE project is very related with these
projects
 and in the some cases, it enhances these projects. We are thinking
  that
 BatchEE project gets strong community because it complete the
 needed
 frameworks of a java developper and unifies the using of these
   projects.
It
 simplifies the developer effort for building complex enterprise
 applications batches.

 === Core Developers ===

 BatchEE project has been developing by the IBM then forked by
 Romain
 Manni-Bucau as a sole contributor.

 === Alignment ===

 BacthEE project will be a candidate for use in Geronimo AS and
 TomEE
   as a
 default JBatch implementation. Other projects could benefit from
 the
 BatchEE project as a general purpose component and context
  management.

 BatchEE project is closely aligned with the OpenEJB and
 OpenWebBeans
 projects perfectly. It depends on these projects to satisfy its
 requirements (mainly tests).

 == Known Risks ==

 === Orphaned products ===

 Even if the initial committer of the project has no plan to leave
 the
 active development, it must

  Dagr is the son of night and he rides his horse Skinfaxi

  The crest of the horse lights the earth with golden shimmer. I

  There is Common Software, a

  Not sure if I like the sound :-), but did not

 usually something were you
  can
  adjust things (more power, less steam and so
 on). Monitoring would be
  only a part of it. But on the other hand, it
 expresses things well
  and
  it is a unused word so far.

  - Thor
  Great name, great god, but unfortunately a lot

  - Balder / Baldur, also possible: Baldr

I just found Sirona, goddess of healing. Because monitoring

identifying the sickness before its getting worse. However,
   Sirona is used
by companies related to healing (aka dental works).
  
What I found interesting is this page claims Merlin being a god:
http://wicca.com/celtic/wicca/celtic.htm
of protecting, counseling, crystal reading and so.
  
A few projects use Merlin, but all are very small ant not related
 to
monitoring.
There is a project management software called marlin:
http://www.projectwizards.net/de/merlin/
  
I believe we currently have:
  
Apache Leitstand
Apache Nechtan
Apache Merlin
Apache Sirona
Apache Heimdall
Apache Dagr

is
the actual protector of Bifröst. Baldur was more
   known because he was
able to return from Hel (sounds like a good name for a server
   ;-)
A quick crosscheck told me Heimdall is not used that often.
  
For those who were concerned about using nordic godnames:
   Heimdall was
named as the father of all humans.
  
He was also known for his horn Gjallarhorn which he blew when
   danger
appeared. Most notable he blew that horn when Ragnarökr (the
   end of our
time and the fall of the gods) starts.
  
I imagine the sound of a horn when critical notification of the
   tool
happens ;-)
  
Another idea i just had was Dagr. It old norsk for
   Day. In old myths
Dagr is the son of night and he rides his horse Skinfaxi
   through heaven.
The crest of the horse lights the earth with golden shimmer. I
   imagine
Apache Dagr to shed light on the dark corners of our
   applications.
  
  
Heck, when I was young i read a lot about northern mythology.
   Its so
poetic. I should spend some time to read again.

[RESULT][VOTE] Release Apache Marmotta 3.1.0-incubating

2013-10-03 Thread Sebastian Schaffert
Dear all,

thanks for your support! The 72 hours have now passed and we have 8
positive votes, of which 3 are binding and 5 are non-binding. We now have
the required number of positive binding votes and will therefore proceed
with the release.

The remark by sebb has been added as an issue for the next release
(MARMOTTA-327).

Greetings,

Sebastian

  Dear all,
 
  After several months of work since the last incubating release
  (3.0.0-incubating) in April, we are now ready to release version
  3.1.0-incubating. We fixed all the remaining issues that have been
  discussed in April (see thread [1]) plus many more technical issues. We
  have already held a vote that was open for more than 72 hours on the
 Apache
  Marmotta developer mailinglist [2]. The vote concluded [3] with 7
 positive
  votes, of which 2 have been binding from IPMC members (Andy and Nandana)

  I'd therefore like to ask the general incubator to check our release

Some good points in there.  I know you want to revise the incubator site
and I wish you well on your efforts to do so because I agree it needs it.,
However I just want to change this one document, and it shouldn't require
the restructuring of a site, so I want to separate the two efforts,
although maybe this effort will influence yours.

So how about this:  I will go all out and rewrite this one document so it
will demarcate what is authoritative and what isn't.  And I will try to
make it clear that the goal of the document is to define a set of default
by-laws.  And I will retain the entirety of the old document for
historical reference.  To do so, I will insert the rewrite at the
beginning of the document after I get lazy consensus on the following text
which will go at the very beginning.

This document is under revision.  The original can be found here
(#link_to_original_further_down).  All decision based on the
original document remain valid and the original document remains
valid until further notice.  The text color of the original
document has been changed to (brown) to help delineate the
boundaries of the original content.

All authoritative sections will be demarcated with:

--this section is authoritative--

And end with:

--end of authoritative section--

My understanding is that only the code-modification and release voting
approval type is authoritative.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

 Well, small, incremental was hard to do given the significantly
 different information this document must now convey.

 I appreciate the labor you've put in, but what we have here is akin to a
 big patch on highly sensitive mission-critical code for which there are no
 tests.  I hope we can find a less costly way to integrate your efforts.
 It is a big patch for sure, but I'm not sure I agree with equating it to
 code.  It is probably always going to be just words and I'm not sure you
 can create tests.  I think even laws don't have tests, they only have to
 survive the reviews of the approvers and are always subject to revision
 later.  But hopefully the reviewers will think through whether the things
 they thought were right about the old version are retained and whether
 the things that were wrong have been removed, and new content appears to
 be right.


 I tried to keep as
 much as possible yet incorporate feedback from Doug and Roy.

 Even if it was wrong, people have been quoting from that document,
 referencing it and following its guidance for a long time.  I'm quite
 irritated that something wrong has persisted for so long and has been
 used
 so many times as the basis for settling disputes.

 My take is that if that fundamental a document is wrong, something is
 dreadfully wrong with how hard-won wisdom gets handed down at the ASF.

 Let's step back for a moment and reassess what we're trying to accomplish.
 We're starting with a voting document which is apparently wrong and
 trying
 to make it quasi-authoritative.  But when we're finished turd polishing,
 there
 will still be no boundaries demarcating where the authoritative stuff
 begins
 and ends.

 We have this problem with the Incubator website, too.  It started off with
 buckets of poorly-thought-through text scooped out of mailing lists and
 dumped
 into version control.  Years later, certain portions of it have been
 carefully
 wordsmithed or even negotiated under high heat; as a result, making a

Re: Apache project bylaws

2013-10-03 Thread Joseph Schaefer
The definitions are in a glossary somewhere, the more
we denormalize the locations of our common understandings
the harder it will be to maintain sanity over discussions.

Projects don't need to be encouraged to write their own
bylaws, most don't bother and that's proper.  We don't need
to spell every possible decision making process out in detail
because they should have experienced the normal processes during
incubation under competent mentorship.

In other words I agree with Marvin that widespread changes
to documents that have been widely referenced are not a good
idea, no matter what the board happens to think today.  Just
clarify the actual issues before us, e.g. how to vote properly
on personnel issues, and that should entirely suffice. Even Greg
doesn't seem to know what consensus voting means in this context,
so there's surely room for improvement.

 Hmm. Maybe I'm reaching too far, but my hope was to put in this document a
 definition of consensus and a set of defaults for by-laws so that other
 new projects don't have as much if any work to do in defining their
 project-specific by-laws.

OK, found the glossary.  I will try to leverage it more in the next
revision.  It will probably need to have consensus-but-one added to it.

Projects don't need to be encouraged to write their own
bylaws, most don't bother and that's proper.
Unfortunately, new TLPs are all copying the same board resolution which
dictates that we need to write bylaws.  That's independent of this thread,
but something that I also suggested changing.

We don't need
to spell every possible decision making process out in detail
because they should have experienced the normal processes during
incubation under competent mentorship.
Well, maybe we got lucky but we got through incubation without any major
conflicts about who should be added and didn't have to deal with removing
anyone.  I think there should be defaults for handling removals in the
voting document.

In other words I agree with Marvin that widespread changes
to documents that have been widely referenced are not a good
idea, no matter what the board happens to think today.  Just
clarify the actual issues before us, e.g. how to vote properly

OK, I'll try again tonight.
