Carl,
I'm not an expert in this area, but the voting guidelines and explanations
are clear enough. One edit though - there is one instance of "whey" instead
of "weigh".

I assume code doesn't mean code as in software, but some sort of
community code?
One concern I have is that this seems to enforce that all projects are
managed via consensus. But many existing (and successful) Open Source
projects don't use an Apache-style consensus model but rather rely on a
benevolent dictatorship or some variation thereof.
I think it's fine to use a consensus model for oVirt business, but I
think it's important to allow sub projects to use other types of
leadership models. Otherwise you're excluding large parts of the
existing community, most notably, libvirt, QEMU, and KVM.
So I think for project specific things (like whether a project is ready
for a release) needs to be completely deferred to the sub project.
If the sub project needs to somehow codify how it makes decisions,
that's fine, but the sub project should ultimately have the say over how
it makes decisions.

Anthony Liguori

here is to build a growing and sustainable community not reliant on
single individuals.
Think of it as at least three benevolent dictators per sub-project, or
if the project has less than three, the board helps provide
accountability. For projects like KVM, QEMU, libvirt, if they joined in
we would encourage them vote on additional maintainers. It is hard to
argue any downside to doing that.

I agree that we need to encourage and require more than one maintainer per
project and I like the rule. I don't think we want to force a change in
existing projects that are successful like KVM & QEMU. In both of these
cases we have projects with a long history of broad contributions. Or we
should recognize that kVM and QEMU have de-facto sub-mainterships due to
the practice of regular almost automatic pulling of source trees published
by key contributors.

That seems reasonable. However I think it would be a boost for the
respective communities if they voted those key contributors to
maintainers if they are defacto trusted and making that recognition
public. That in itself is great for all involved, and as from what I
understand these key contributors are 'maintainers' in just about every
regard except in name and recognition. Formalizing and providing that
recognition is never a bad thing.
However, I agree, with these listed projects we can make it happen.

No, it's formalized already (via a MAINTAINERS file, just like Linux).
Again, this is very similar to other communities like libvirt. If one
of the Daniels are on the list, they can comment more, but my understand
is that there are many people with commit access, but a very small
number of people that are effectively the benevolent dictators and make
final decisions on releases.
The main point here is not to debate the effectiveness of any given
model but to point out that the stricter you are about requiring
projects to govern themselves in certain ways, the less inclusive the
overall community will be.

apache also has the two levels, they call that the PMC. I stripped the
two levels out to keep it simple and we can update as required. If we
want that we should doc it back in.
goal here is to be transparent and easy for people to join in.

Having 3 maintainers does not mean there isn't an overall project
leader. We have around 30 maintainers in QEMU but only one project
leader. The project leader casts the tie breaking vote.
It's the same model as the kernel and many other communities.

how about we state that a sub-project may ellect someone to cast tie

I think that's sufficiently open ended enough that it can be clarified

Okay, that sounds good. Perhaps we should try to work language like
this into more of these docs? Basically, three tiers of projects:
Tier 0; x < 3 maintainers, oVirt board has ability to make decisions
on behalf of the project.
Tier 1; 3 <= x < 10 maintainers, project is autonomous, but must use
oVirt recommended voting procedures and maintainership model.
Tier 2; x >= 10 maintainers, project is autonomous and writes its own
governance document. Perhaps the document should be voted on by the
oVirt board?
I think that creates a nice incubator model where oVirt helps a project
grow and gets out of the way once it reaches critical mass.
Can anyone give me an idea of where the initial set of seed projects
will fit? How many maintainers is oVirt Server likely to have? (I
assume that's the biggest of the seed projects).
Do you want to go ahead and edit that into the google doc?

Do we define a maintainer as anyone with commit access to the main
upstream repo?
If so, oVirt Node project has 3 maintainers presently (not counting
myself, and I don't since I don't code anymore...)

I think anyone with commit access who can commit other people's patches?
I think that fits the categories quite well too. ovirt-node is large
enough that it should be autonomous. I think the overall goal is to
make sure that projects move from Tier 0 -> Tier 1 over time but once at
Tier 1, I'm sure certain projects can last forever at that size.

I think anyone with commit access who can commit other people's patches?
I think that fits the categories quite well too. ovirt-node is large
enough that it should be autonomous. I think the overall goal is to
make sure that projects move from Tier 0 -> Tier 1 over time but once
at Tier 1, I'm sure certain projects can last forever at that size.

Okay, that sounds good. Perhaps we should try to work language like
this into more of these docs? Basically, three tiers of projects:
Tier 0; x < 3 maintainers, oVirt board has ability to make decisions
on behalf of the project.
Tier 1; 3 <= x < 10 maintainers, project is autonomous, but must use
oVirt recommended voting procedures and maintainership model.
Tier 2; x >= 10 maintainers, project is autonomous and writes its own
governance document. Perhaps the document should be voted on by the
oVirt board?
I think that creates a nice incubator model where oVirt helps a project
grow and gets out of the way once it reaches critical mass.
Can anyone give me an idea of where the initial set of seed projects
will fit? How many maintainers is oVirt Server likely to have? (I
assume that's the biggest of the seed projects).
I think the comment on a 'leader' and the need for a tie breaker is valid
for projects with less than 10 maintainers as well.
This is also relevant for overruling a nack to avoid stagnation. A
majority of acks, or leader as tie breaker should be able to vote on
overruling a nack.

Looks good.
Could use some editing (lots of small things like s/rewording/rewarding/, s/wsdm/vdsm/)

A project lead implies that somehow his/her vote is more important
than anyone else's, which is not how the ASF works.
The idea is to build a community that strives for consensus so that
the need for tie-breaking votes isn't required… If half the community
thinks A and the other B, then there is for sure no consensus.
Having 3 maintainers does not mean there isn't an overall project leader. We have
around 30 maintainers in QEMU but only one project leader. The project leader casts the
tie breaking vote.
It's the same model as the kernel and many other communities.

How often do these happe
I see one that results in debate about every 2+ years on the one project
I run. You may see them on a release vote during testing if issues are
found or licenses missing etc, typically the a patch is submitted to
resolve it and the vote goes on.
Most time feedback is taken and code is improved through normal working.

That's most probably a good path.
If you start off with the expectation that there will be
the need for tie-breaking votes, well… they are bound to
happen. But if the expectation is that there will be no need
for them, and therefore no position that is "empowered" to
break them, then the communities will be "forced" to
collaborate and compromise.

As long as we're preserving autonomy for established projects, I think
any model as long as it's consistent for smaller projects would work.

Do we count ovirt engine as an established project :) ?
I think our current model is of a tie breaking vote in case of
disagreement...

That's one model, but it's not the only model. As it happens, there's a
good LWN article right now on this topic.
http://lwn.net/Articles/458094/
The simple fact is, a large part of the ecosystem we're trying to build
is already existing and has a diverse development model. If we don't
accommodate development model diversity, then we're going to exclude
large parts of the ecosystem which is going to result in fragmentation.

The goal is for each sub-project to get to 3 or more maintainers, which
rules out the benevolent dictatorship model for sub-projects. The goal
here is to build a growing and sustainable community not reliant on
single individuals.
Think of it as at least three benevolent dictators per sub-project, or
if the project has less than three, the board helps provide
accountability. For projects like KVM, QEMU, libvirt, if they joined in
we would encourage them vote on additional maintainers. It is hard to
argue any downside to doing that.

Another thought/issue:
Currently maintainer == committer.
Ovirt engine has multiple modules in it.
While a lot of people have commit rights, they are not considered
maintainers of the entire project.
However, it makes sense for them to commit the holistic patch across
multiple modules once all acks are given.
So to me, a maintainer is someone who can ack a patch for a certain module
A committer can commit code, but is responsible to not commit without an
ack from the relevant maintainer if the patch encompasses subsystems
outside of his domain expertise (i.e., committer is not maintainer in all
portions the patch set will touch)
Thoughts?

outside of his domain expertise (i.e., committer is not maintainer in all
portions the patch set will touch)
Thoughts?

Another question here -
when you speak of modules - are you referring also for sub modules, for
example - the bll and dal modules in engine core?
