Sounds good to me. On the other hand, here are some arguments in favor of keeping this type of vote on the user mailing list: (1) wider distribution increases transparency, (2) wider distribution can broaden the non-voting discussion, (3) the user list has less traffic than the dev list, although the upcoming issues list will reduce the dev clutter. Anyway, it should be decided in a new voting thread. -- Lefty On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 1:24 PM, Vikram Dixit K <vikram.di...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Carl, > > Here is the list of 17 active PMC members: > > Brock Noland > Carl Steinbach > Edward Capriolo > Alan Gates > Gunther Hagleitner > Ashutosh Chauhan > Jason Dere > Lefty Leverenz > Navis Ryu > Owen O'Malley > Prasad Suresh Mujumdar > Prasanth J > Harish Butani > Szehon Ho > Thejas Madhavan Nair > Vikram Dixit K > Xuefu Zhang > > > Non active members: > > Ashish Thusoo > Kevin Wilfong > He Yongqiang > Namit Jain > Joydeep Sensarma > Ning Zhang > Raghotham Murthy > > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=text%20~%20%22kevin%20wilfong%22%20OR%20text%20~%20%22ashish%20thusoo%22%20or%20text%20~%20%22heyongqiang%22%20OR%20text%20~%20%22Namit%20Jain%22%20OR%20text%20~%20%22joydeep%20sensarma%22%20OR%20text%20~%20%22ning%20zhang%22%20OR%20text%20~%20%22raghotham%20murthy%22%20AND%20project%20%3D%20Hive%20ORDER%20BY%20updated%20DESC > > In the results, only the first 4/5 need to be considered because of the > time line of 6 months.
