I think this is exactly how Apache projects are supposed to operate: *all* discussions and decisions in public places unless there's a very good reason for them to happen in private. Our Maturity Model at https://community.apache.org/apache-way/apache-project-maturity-model.html for example does mention that. For our PMCs, I think generally the only things that need to happen in private are discussions about people (committer candidates etc.), to avoid embarassing them if the PMC is not willing to elect them at that time, and issues related to security as per http://www.apache.org/security/committers.html - and the occasional special cases which must be kept to a strict minimum in terms of frequency and volume. The Board and many of our community members are regularly reminding our projects to limit their private discussions to that strict minimum - if people see Apache projects operating otherwise they are encouraged to tell their PMCs about it and if needed escalate to the Board. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
