Re: Giving podlings enough time to report [Fwd: Incubator PMC/Board report for Feb 2012 ([ppmc])]
I'll look into it... iirc, the code knows if it's run "after" that month's board date, so we could handle it there. I used the Date::Manip package to make it easier to do these sorts of date adjustments...

The thing I've been trying to tell you Dave is that it can't be sent before the first of the month. That's just the way the script is coded. If you consider this a bug we can arrange access to the script for you to hack on (it's in perl). - Original Message - > From: Dave Fisher > To: general@incubator.apache.org > Cc: > Sent: Thursday, February 2, 2012 9:10 AM > Subject: Re: Giving podlings enough time to report [Fwd: Incubator PMC/Board > report for Feb 2012 ([ppmc])] > > > On Feb 2, 2012, at 5:58 AM, Jim Jagielski wrote: > >> >> On Feb 1, 2012, at 2:40 PM, Dave Fisher wrote: >>> >>> OK.

Not much I can do about this given the way the script works.

Giving podlings enough time to report [Fwd: Incubator PMC/Board report for Feb 2012 ([ppmc])]
Hi, I would like to point out that a reminder on the day the report is due is NOT plenty of time. > The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 15 February 2012, 10:00:00 PST.

Fortunately for Flex, Bertrand was completely on top of this and the podling is very active and had their act together in hours! I understand that the policy was changed to allow the IPMC more time to review podling reports. But now the previous notice timing leaves the time short for podlings to produce reports. I realize that this may be due to when the board chooses to announce the meeting. I think that podlings ought to be reminded three weeks before the board meeting. Perhaps it is merely a "bug" in the automated system.
