Sorry, I know of no musicians who will perform at special events to rock the Clojure JIRA vote. Perhaps if some of the musicians among Cognitect employees become inspired ...
Why vote? It can make a difference in how soon Clojure tickets are addressed. Quotes from Alex Miller: "In particular I use votes to decide what gets triaged. We also used votes as a way to see which issues needed to be kept in [Clojure] 1.7 this week vs pushed off to 1.8. So I'm telling you (as the one that makes those decisions), that it's useful. I look [at] those numbers every day." -- Alex Miller (puredanger) on #clojure IRC log Oct 8 2014 <http://logs.lazybot.org/irc.freenode.net/%23clojure/2014-10-08.txt> How to vote: If you already have a Clojure JIRA account, find a ticket you are interested in and click on the "Vote" link near the top right of the page describing the ticket. If you created the ticket, you can't also vote for it, so that link is disabled -- it is pretty clear already that you are in favor of tickets you create. You are allowed to persuade others to vote on tickets. If you don't have a JIRA account yet, you can create one by going to the Clojure JIRA page [1]. If you see a "Log in" link near the top right of the page, click on that, and then click the "Sign up" link on the next page you reach. There are various ways to search JIRA, the simplest of which is to type in search terms in the Quick Search text box near the top right of the page. No, that doesn't always instantly take you to the ticket that is most relevant for what you want. Feel free to ask on the Clojure Google group if you are curious whether there is already a ticket for some issue, and someone may be willing to answer. If all you know is the number of a ticket, e.g. CLJ-322, you can type that into the Quick Search box. You can also see a report that I update a couple of times a week on the top voted tickets, sorted by 'weighted vote' [2]. The HTML versions of those reports have links to the tickets. For Clojure and ClojureScript, those reports do not list all open tickets (there are over 400 such tickets as of today for Clojure), only ones that already have votes, or they have already made some progress towards resolution (e.g. a Clojure screener has marked the ticket as Triaged [3]). Andy Fingerhut [1] http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ or if you lose the link, go to Google and enter the search: clojure jira [2] http://jafingerhut.github.io/clj-ticket-status/clojure-ticket-info.html or enter the Google search: clojure top voted and you should see early search result that links to that page, plus another relevant one implemented as a JIRA search query [3] For more info on what the states of Clojure tickets mean, and the workflow, see http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/JIRA+workflow -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
