Hi :) Thanks :) The voting system sounds interesting. I like the idea of "non-binding" votes for people that might not have joined as proper members yet but might have significant interest in the Apache Foundation. Thanks and regards from Tom :)

At the moment, it appears to be passing by a huge margin, with only two dissenting votes[1] at this time. The Apache process recognizes two types of votes: * "binding" votes are from those who have a recognized ability to participate in the process. These votes are the ones which will be counted. * "non-binding" votes are from other participants in the conversation. Their "votes" are allowed as a measure and gauge over the broader community opinion, even though they will not actually be tallied in the final ballot. If you wish to make your voice heard, then I would encourage you to respond to the [VOTE] thread on [email protected] (I would think gmane[2] is your best way to respond to the thread without having to actually subscribe). Cheers, -g [1] the dissenting votes are non-binding, fwiw [2] http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.incubator.general/29904 ps. my advance apologies if you feel this post is inappropriate for these two TDF forums. I felt obliged to include you all in this process, though I do understand that it may not be welcome. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
