This document defines the bylaws under which the Apache Ant project |
|
|
|
operates. It defines the roles and responsibilities of the |
|
|
|
project, who may vote, how voting works, how conflicts are resolved, |

etc. |

Ant is a project of the |
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/">Apache Software |
|
|
|
Foundation</a>. The foundation holds the copyright on Apache |
|
|
|
code including the code in the Ant codebase. The |
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/faq.html">foundation FAQ</a> |
|
|
|
explains the operation and background of the foundation. |
|
|

</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Ant is typical of Apache projects in that it operates under a set of |
|
|
|
principles, known collectively as the "Apache Way". If you are |
|
|
|
new to Apache development, please refer to the |
|
|
|
<a href="http://incubator.apache.org">Incubator project</a> |
|
|
|
for more information on how Apache projects operate. <b>Note:</b> the |
|
|
|
incubator project has only been recently set up and does not yet explain |
|
|
|
the Apache Way in great detail. |

The most important participants in the project are people who use our |
|
|
|
software. The majority of our developers start out as users and guide |
|
|
|
their development efforts from the user's perspective. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Users contribute to the Apache projects by providing feedback to |
|
|
|
developers in the form of bug reports and feature suggestions. As |
|
|
|
well, users participate in the Apache community by helping other users |
|
|
|
on mailing lists and user support forums. |

All of the volunteers who are contributing time, code, documentation, |

The project's Committers are responsible for the project's technical |
|
|
|
management. All committers have write access to the project's source |
|
|
|
repositories. Committers may cast binding votes on any technical |
|
|
|
discussion regarding the project. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Committer access is by invitation only and must be approved by lazy |
|
|
|
consensus of the active PMC members. A Committer is considered emeritus |
|
|
|
by their own declaration or by not contributing in any form to the |
|
|
|
project for over six months. An emeritus committer may request |
|
|
|
reinstatement of commit access from the PMC. Such reinstatement is |
|
|
|
subject to lazy consensus of active PMC members. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Commit access can be revoked by a unanimous vote of all the active |
|
|
|
PMC members (except the committer in question if they are also a PMC member). |
|
|

</p> |
|
|

|
All Apache committers are required to have a signed Contributor License |
|
|
|
Agreement (CLA) on file with the Apache Software Foundation. There is a |
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html">Committer FAQ</a> |
|
|
|
which provides more details on the requirements for Committers |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
A committer who makes a sustained contribution to the project may be |
|
|
|
invited to become a member of the PMC. The form of contribution is |
|
|
|
not limited to code. It can also include code review, helping out |
|
|
|
users on the mailing lists, documentation, etc. |

Software Foundation on 18<sup>th</sup> November 2002. The PMC is |

Membership of the PMC is by invitation only and must be approved by a |
|
|
|
lazy consensus of active PMC members. A PMC member is considered |
|
|
|
"emeritus" by their own declaration or by not contributing in |
|
|
|
any form to the project for over six months. An emeritus member may |
|
|
|
request reinstatement to the PMC. Such reinstatement is subject to lazy |
|
|
|
consensus of the active PMC members. Membership of the PMC can be |
|
|
|
revoked by an unanimous vote of all the active PMC members other than |
|
|
|
the member in question. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
The chair of the PMC is appointed by the ASF board. The chair is an |
|
|
|
office holder of the Apache Software Foundation (Vice President, |
|
|
|
Apache Ant) and has primary responsibility to the board for the |
|
|
|
management of the projects within the scope of the Ant PMC. The chair |
|
|
|
reports to the board quarterly on developments within the Ant project. |
|
|
|
The PMC may consider the position of PMC chair annually and if |
|
|
|
supported by 2/3 Majority may recommend a new chair to the board. |
|
|
|
Ultimately, however, it is the board's responsibility who it chooses |
|
|
|
to appoint as the PMC chair. |

Within the Ant project, different types of decisions require different |
|
|
|
forms of approval. For example, the |
|
|
|
<a href="#Roles and Responsibilities">previous section</a> describes |
|
|
|
several decisions which require "lazy consensus" approval. This |
|
|
|
section defines how voting is performed, the types of approvals, and which |
|
|
|
types of decision require which type of approval. |

Decisions regarding the project are made by votes on the primary project |
|
|
|
development mailing list (ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org). Where necessary, |
|
|
|
PMC voting may take place on the private Ant PMC mailing list. |
|
|
|
Votes are clearly indicated by subject line starting with [VOTE] or |
|
|
|
[PMC-VOTE]. Votes may contain multiple items for approval and these |
|
|
|
should be clearly separated. Voting is carried out by replying to the |
|
|
|
vote mail. Voting may take four flavours |

This is a negative vote. On issues where consensus is required, |

this vote counts as a <strong>veto</strong>. All vetoes must |

All participants in the Ant project are encouraged to show their |
|
|
|
agreement with or against a particular action by voting. For technical |
|
|
|
decisions, only the votes of active committers are binding. Non binding |
|
|
|
votes are still useful for those with binding votes to understand the |
|
|
|
perception of an action in the wider Ant community. For PMC decisions, |
|
|
|
only the votes of PMC members are binding. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Voting can also be applied to changes made to the Ant codebase. These |
|
|
|
typically take the form of a veto (-1) in reply to the commit message |
|
|
|
sent when the commit is made. |

Some actions require a 2/3 majority of active committers or PMC |

members to pass. Such actions typically affect the foundation |

of the project (e.g. adopting a new codebase to replace an existing |

product). The higher threshold is designed to ensure such changes |

A valid, binding veto cannot be overruled. If a veto is cast, it must be |
|
|
|
accompanied by a valid reason explaining the reasons for the veto. The |
|
|
|
validity of a veto, if challenged, can be confirmed by anyone who has |
|
|
|
a binding vote. This does not necessarily signify agreement with the |
|
|
|
veto - merely that the veto is valid. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
If you disagree with a valid veto, you must lobby the person casting |
|
|
|
the veto to withdraw their veto. If a veto is not withdrawn, the action |
|
|
|
that has been vetoed must be reversed in a timely manner. |
