 ...Whose votes are binding for releases on the podlings dev list?...

Technically as Ross says, only votes from Incubator PMC members are
binding as far as the ASF is concerned. What matters is getting 3 such
binding votes, so that the release is an act of the Incubator PMC.

IMO the rest is more social/educational. For the initial vote on the
podling dev list I don't care too much whether voters are PPMC members
or not, what's important is for the podling to establish consensus on
asking the Incubator PMC to approve the release.

2014-07-25 Thread Ross Gardler
The PPMC is not, and never has been, a formally recognized part of our
structure. But as I said that's a technicality in this context, the project
(PPMC) are the people who really matter from the projects perspective, even
though their votes are not binding.

The thread seems to be in agreement in response to Justin's specific
question.

 Justin,

 I think formally, if you review [2] (you may also want to scroll down, and
 review later parts of this page on voting), you'll see that the PPMC votes
 really don't count for anything other than merit.  The IPMC vote is what
 really counts.  If you follow that page verbatim, the votes by the IPMC
are
 the only ones that count.

 If you follow the alternative voting method, found at [3], you'll see that
 votes via PPMC are acceptable if and only if the IPMC has agreed to such.

Yeah, a good summary might be that the podling PPMC (+community)
establishes consensus about releasing, and the Incubator PMC members
make the release an act of the ASF.

This is conflicting from what the site said about governance of podling.
PPMC is a part of podling and responsible to manage the podling on behalf
of IPMC.

I suppose you meant that their votes do not bind but saying it was never
part of the structure is misleading or we need to update the ASF website
about incubator roles page.

Podling binding votes

2014-07-24 Thread Justin Mclean
Hi,

Anyone clarify this as it's not mentioned at [1].

Whose votes are binding for releases on the podlings dev list? Obviously 
mentors and PPMC members, but are IPMC members votes binding? I would assume so 
but don't see it stated anywhere. Would Apache members votes be binding?

Assuming IPMC votes are binding what happen if a podling release dev list vote 
got 3 +1 IPMC votes, would a voted need to done on general @ incubator or not?

I'm sure that some folks might claim the more correct process is to have a 
second vote, but as long as the 3 IPMC votes are formally and publicly recorded 
in the dev list vote then I believe that is all we need.




TECHNICALITY: PPMC votes are not binding (although they absolutely should be

the foundational level since PPMC members are not yet a member of a formal

is more important than IPMC votes at the project level, it's just the way we 
are structured means PPMC votes are not binding according to our bylaws (at 
least that's how I understand it).

Re: Podling binding votes

2014-07-24 Thread P. Taylor Goetz
My interpretation (and it's just that) is:

Example: Release Vote

A podling votes to release (VOTE email to dev@project). The PPMC and IPMC/PPMC 
(i.e. Mentors) member votes are binding at the PPMC level. This means that 
those votes are binding and community votes are non-binding. 

If the PPMC vote passes, the release vote can proceed to the IPMC level (a VOTE 
email to general@). At this point, PPMC votes are non-binding. Mentor (since 
mentors are by definition IPMC members) and any non-mentor IPMC member votes 
can carry over and are binding. Then it's a matter of getting enough additional 
binding IPMC votes to meet the requirement. At this point, PPMC and community 
votes are non-binding.

Again, this is just my interpretation, and I may be off here.

Sounds right to me.

As a separate matter of etiquette and community building, it is usually
good form for mentors to vote last during the community vote and first in
the IPMC vote.

 My interpretation (and it's just that) is:

 Example: Release Vote

 A podling votes to release (VOTE email to dev@project). The PPMC and
 IPMC/PPMC (i.e. Mentors) member votes are binding at the PPMC level. This
 means that those votes are binding and community votes are non-binding.

 If the PPMC vote passes, the release vote can proceed to the IPMC level (a
 VOTE email to general@). At this point, PPMC votes are non-binding.
 Mentor (since mentors are by definition IPMC members) and any non-mentor
 IPMC member votes can carry over and are binding. Then it's a matter of
 getting enough additional binding IPMC votes to meet the requirement. At
 this point, PPMC and community votes are non-binding.

 Again, this is just my interpretation, and I may be off here.

  Hi,
 
  Anyone clarify this as it's not mentioned at [1].
 
  Whose votes are binding for releases on the podlings dev list? Obviously
 mentors and PPMC members, but are IPMC members votes binding? I would
 assume so but don't see it stated anywhere. Would Apache members votes be
 binding?
 
  Assuming IPMC votes are binding what happen if a podling release dev
 list vote got 3 +1 IPMC votes, would a voted need to done on general @
 incubator or not?
 
  Thanks,
  Justin

Yes, this is what I had seen and recommended to podlings I have been
involved with.
