Hi Again, OK so the VOTE'ing period is now closed as 72 hours have passed. Unfortunately only 2 VOTE's were officially launched resulting in the following
+1's Ioannis Canellos Lewis McGibbney -1's n/a The VOTE thread stated that for a VOTE to pass a majority of at least three Gora PMC VOTE's must be weighted in favour of +1, however this has not been the case so the VOTE fails. Having dome some more reading [0] on this with specific weighting here [1], I am unsure as to whether this is outcome is a true reflection of the Apache Gora community therefore I need to get input and conformation from elsewhere before we can pursue the issue further. As I was acting as RM this provides a platform where I would have pushed on with the release but this is not physically obtainable as the Gora 0.2 release is restricted by the 'minimum quorum of three +1 votes' rule. I'll head over to some community mailing lists in an attempt to obtain further advice on what the next steps are for the community. Thanks for now Lewis [0] http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html [1] http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#ReleaseVotes On Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 12:32 PM, lewis john mcgibbney <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Everyone, (Not sure if the 1st email went out OK) > > A candidate for the Apache Gora 0.2 release (our first since graduation > from the incubator) is available at: > > http://people.apache.org/~lewismc/apache-gora-0.2/rc1/ > > The release candidate is a src.zip and src.tar.gz archive of the sources > in: > > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/gora/tags/gora-0.2 > > We release Gora only as src, this is due to the nature of the project and > the requirement to recompile the codebase. > > A staged Maven repository of the 0.2 sources is available here: > > https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachegora-074/ > > Please vote on releasing this package as Apache Gora 0.2. > The vote is open for the next 72 hours and passes if a majority of at > least three +1 Gora PMC votes are cast. > > [ ] +1 Release this package as Apache Nutch 1.5 > [ ] -1 Do not release this package because... > > Many Thanks, heres to plenty more and have a great weekend. > > Kind Regards, > Lewis > > P.S.
