Thanks again Alan. The fact that there appears to be no members of the Hive PMC active in the incubator would seem to be the root cause of the need for further mentoring/incubation post graduation. Ross On 23 Feb 2013 17:07, "Alan Gates" wrote: > > I think that's a question for the Hive PMC. I

I think that's a question for the Hive PMC. I have some guesses, but it seemd more appropriate to let them speak for themselves. For some history you can take a look at http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hive-dev/201211.mbox/%3CC648B9DE-2088-465E-8FA1-590D5E192093%40hortonworks.com%3E w

I'm not so much opinionated as confused here, perhaps because I have a very linear view of governance. I like to know how a vote fits into a governance structure or process, and I've felt for some time that this case (podling goes to existing TLP) is not well-explained by our structure. Back in t

Classifying this as a procedural vote gives the easy out of majority rule. It is the IPMC's recommendation to the board that the board then evaluates to become a TLP or not. Based on Benson's later email he is shucking all of that to the board. Benson, I would hope you consider -1s to be VETO in t
