Personally, when I'm voting with my Incubator PMC hat on, I'm voting based on the fact that the project has followed the ASF guidelines for how to prepare and vote on a release, and that we've legally speaking got all our ducks in a row (i.e. CLAs are in, all the appropriate license files and headers are in place, etc). When I'm voting as a committer on the project that's when I take into account technical merit of the release, although at that phase (before it gets to the incubator PMC) I would also bring up any problems that I'm aware of that would convince me to not +1 it with my Incubator PMC hat on. -garrett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
