The PMC memeber votes on the
releases. re: "I saw no votes I was curious how it
became available for release." The practice we have today is that
no negative (-1) vote within 24 hour == approve for release. It
probably is more clear to the community that a positive vote should be
required from majority of the leads and PMCs. I will bring this up for
discussion in our next PMC meeting and documen it on the BIRT
site.

Hi,
Thanks
for your response Wenfeng. I do understand that becoming a committer on an
Eclipse project is based on meritocracy and I have read the page you cited
below. However, this was not my question.
I
was not implying that non-committers should be allowed to vote on a release, I
was simply trying to understand how the process works.
Since
the original message stated that the release was ready to be 'voted' on, and I
saw no votes I was curious how it became available for release.
Some
open source projects have guidelines about what types of actions the PMC votes
on, and I was interested in learning about these, to understand how the BIRT
project functions. I think it would be helpful for the community to
understand how some of the workings of the PMC are handled in terms of types of
items they vote on and I thought a good place for this information would be the
website.
Regards,
Susan

Hi,
Susan
In the past, the
voting timeline is 24 hours after the voting request email.
As to how decision
are made that affects the project and which types of items are voted
on. I don't I have a definite answer. My
understanding is to have a meritocracy system. The more you
contribute the more responsibility you will earn. At the end, it is the
committer who makes the decisions. PMC is a committee to coordinate the
development activities within BIRT and with other Eclipse
projects.

Hi,
Wenfeng,
Thanks
for the clarification.
How
do the leads or PMC members know when the voting is closed? The original
message did not state a date or time.
Also,
I think it would be helpful if a page was added to the BIRT web site about how
decisions are made that affect the project, and which types of items are voted
on. This would help to educate the community about how things work
amongst the committers and PMC members.
I
can volunteer to create a page if someone can give me the content, as well as
the information about how to add pages (or create them for contribution) to
the web site.
Thanks,
Susan

Hi,
Susan
The
vote happens at the birt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx mailing list. The leads or
PMC members will response in email with -1 if they think there is showstopper
with the build. When it (a -1 vote) happens, we need to discuss it on the PMC
meeting and/or the birt-dev mailing list about the issue and solution to
it.

Hi,
I
did not see anything on the BIRT web site or on the wiki (if I missed it can
you point me to the URL?) about where votes for a release occur. I
looked at the birt-pmc archives, and did not notice any call for votes on
this.
Can
you explain how this occurs? I think this would be helpful for
community members to know how these votes occur, and this information would
be good to have on the BIRT web site.
Regards,
Susan
