As it has been established in the "Veto! Veto?" thread that with procedural issues a bit more is required than the generic statements in the Code of Conduct and other pages describing the Apache Way. Especially if a project wants to deviate from the general rule of a simple majority voting for spec

It's my opinion based on accepted practice (and the way I and fellow directors addressed non-technical disputes taken to the board). We've been operating like this since day one. Most project bye laws (that I've read) acknowledge the. E.g. Forrest: For more information about the way that Apach

Writing as someone who has mentored a squad of podlings, I do not believe that there is any requirement for any project to ever adopt any bylaws at all. I was never involved where the board ask for bylaws, and I'm faintly curious as to how that ever came to pass. The normal process is for podlings

Then again, Jan stated that he thought that instilling compliance to the official ASF policies, or expressions of deviation thereof, in the bylaws is a part of the incubation process. Is he wrong with his assumption? Or does the incubator project have it mixed up somewhere and he is right? Best re

How can that be? The board of the ASF explicitly tasks the projects (at least those that I have seen, as mentioned in my earlier posting) to establish a set of bylaws. That sounds like a binding clause for being a project of the ASF. The conclusion that can be derived from that is that the project

No I said if projects don't write bye-laws then the defaults if the Apache Way apply. If they have local bye-laws they are expected to be in the spirit of the Apache Way but tuned to the specifics of that project. Sent from my Windows Phone From: Pierre Smits
