Well, I didn't get enough responses, so this will have to wait
until after folks figure out what to do next.

Hi Roy,

+1 approve requesting a mod_python TLP

+2 to the alterative: approve requesting a python TLP


I think that would be fine, except you will have to come up with a
name that is not Apache Python Project.  That is essentially a
trademark infringement and I know the Perl community doesn't like
the way we named Perl-Apache either.  Java became Jakarta for the
same reason.

Re: mod_python 3.2.7 available for testing

When the core group votes for a release candidate, is it a

guidelines, An action item requiring consensus approval must  
receive at least 3 binding +1 votes and no vetos. An action item  
requiring majority approval must receive at least 3 binding +1  
votes and more +1 votes than -1 votes (i.e., a majority with a  
minimum quorum of three positive votes).


Release votes are majority votes. That prevents some forms of voting  
abuse

and allows progress to be made even when it isn't perfect.

My interpretation of the rest of guideline is that a consensus vote  
is only required for actual code changes. Perhaps we should set our  
own policy for a vote on a release candidate?

See http://httpd.apache.org/dev/guidelines.html.

If this is a majority vote, then the polls are closed and 3.2.7 is  
the winner. :) (And I didn't even use a calulator this time. ;) )


We usually wait for 72 hours or until all the voters vote, since some
times it only takes one discovered failure to cause everyone else to
change their votes.

board report for HTTP server project

2005-11-14 Thread Roy T . Fielding

Much to my surprise, I apparently have a board report due yesterday
for this Wednesday's board meeting.  Do we have any ASF issues that
need reporting to the board, aside from what is in STATUS*?
Any choice commentary?  Does anyone else feel like we have too many
dev lists for one project?
