Re: [VOTE] Graduate Apache Marmotta as TLP

2013-11-19 Thread Jakob Frank
The way I understand it, we are not taking away any power or
possibility from the project.
The PMC can decide to create bylaws at a later point, we're just
starting off with an empty set for now.

In the end, it feels wrong to just copy some default bylaws for
graduation while we had no need for them during incubation.

Best,
Jakob

 That takes away your project's power.

 Just create a simple guidelines (== bylaws) page that says you follow
 the Apache HTTP Server project for example.

Re: [VOTE] Graduate Apache Marmotta as TLP

2013-11-12 Thread Justin Mclean
Hi,

Apache Flex is just voting on is guidelines (and is likely to pass
tomorrow) if you need something to base yours off. [1]

We didn't realise that we actually needed guidelines, but a couple of
things come up and we released we didn't know what the default rules
actually were and teh existing documentation doesn't make it 100% clear.

The default HTTP server project has a few unexpected things in it eg who
considered an active committer, only PMCs can veto code changes, only
committers and PMC members are encourage to vote and a few possibly
confusing terms eg Lazy Majority and possibly unclear rules on voting in
committers (consensus or majority?). I sure everyone on the HTTP project
knows what they and what's practised may differ slightly from what
documented.

Thanks,
Justin

Hi all,

the Marmotta podling, whose goal is to provide an Open Platform for
Linked Data, entered incubation in December 2012. Since then, the
codebase has stabilized and two releases were published following ASF
policies and guidelines.
The community has grown, two new committers have joined the development
team and more people joined the mailing lists.

The last incubator report lists Marmotta as Ready to graduate [1], the
Marmotta community has decided to take this step [2] and agreed on a
Graduation Resolution Draft [3] which is also attached below.

The resolution draft was posted to general@incubator.a.o for discussion
[4] and raised no concerns, now please cast your votes:

[ ]  +1 Graduate the Marmotta podling from Incubator
[ ]  +0 Indifferent to graduation status of the Marmotta podling
[ ]  -1 Reject graduation of the Marmotta podling from Incubator
because...

The vote will be open for at least 72 hours starting now.


Best,
Jakob
