Yeah... kind of hard for me to vote while I was on vacation last week. Didn't happen, but that is not a problem.
As Justin notes, our job is to *mentor* ... that doesn't mean we are obligated to vote. Voting on a release implies a large commitment to downloading the tarball, building, deploying, testing, etc. And Mynewt is not the easiest of our projects ... "configure; make; make install" isn't even *close* to what is needed. I've got some hardware bits that I could use for testing, but have not found the time to get the whole cycle set up. Being unable to *test* the bits, that means I cannot offer my +1. But damned sure that I've been providing oversight on the Mynewt podling as it turns the crank. A +1 vote means "I've downloaded, verified, built, tested, etc". Mentors are more about *community* rather than the code. (I like mynewt and plan to deploy it, but that is irrelevant to the matter at hand) So I'm gonna ask that y'all ease up and re-examine what release voting really means.
