Apache Ant Project Bylaws | |
</h3> | |
<p> | |
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. | |
</p> | |
<p> | |
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. | |

<a name="Roles and Responsibilities"></a> | |
Roles and Responsibilities | |
</h3> | |
<p> | |
Apache projects define a set of roles with associated rights and | |
responsibilities. These roles govern what tasks an individual may perform | |
within the project. The roles are defined in the following sections | |
</p> | |
<ul> | |
<li><a href="#Users">Users</a></li> | |
<li><a href="#Developers">Developers</a></li> | |
<li><a href="#Committers">Committers</a></li> | |
<li><a href="#Project Management Committee"> | |
Project Management Committee (PMC)</a> | |
</li> | |
</ul> | |
<h4 class="subsection"> | |
<a name="Users"></a> | |
Users | |
</h4> | |
<p> | |
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. | |
</p> | |
<h4 class="subsection"> | |
<a name="Developers"></a> | |
Developers | |
</h4> | |
<p> | |
All of the volunteers who are contributing time, code, documentation, | |
or resources to the Ant Project. A developer that makes sustained, | |
welcome contributions to the project may be invited to become a | |
Committer, though the exact timing of such invitations depends on many | |
factors. | |
</p> | |
<h4 class="subsection"> | |
<a name="Committers"></a> | |
Committers | |
</h4> | |
<p> | |
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> | |
<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. | |
</p> | |
<h4 class="subsection"> | |
<a name="Project Management Committee"></a> | |
Project Management Committee | |
</h4> | |
<p> | |
The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Ant was created by a | |
<a href="mission.html">resolution</a> of the board of the Apache | |
Software Foundation on 18<sup>th</sup> November 2002. The PMC is | |
responsible to the board and the ASF for the management and oversight | |
of the Apache Ant codebase. The responsibilities of the PMC include | |
</p> | |
<ul> | |
<li>Deciding what is distributed as products of the Apache Ant project. | |
In particular all releases must be approved by the PMC | |
</li> | |
<li>Maintaining the project's shared resources, including the codebase | |
repository, mailing lists, websites. | |
</li> | |
<li>Speaking on behalf of the project. | |
</li> | |
<li>Resolving license disputes regarding products of the project | |
</li> | |
<li>Nominating new PMC members and committers | |
</li> | |
<li>Maintaining these bylaws and other guidelines of the project | |
</li> | |
</ul> | |
<p> | |
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. | |
</p> | |
<h3 class="section"> | |
<a name="Decision Making"></a> | |
Decision Making | |
</h3> | |
<p> | |
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. | |
</p> | |
<h4 class="subsection"> | |
<a name="Voting"></a> | |
Voting | |
</h4> | |
<p> | |
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 | |
</p> | |

<strong>-0</strong> | |
</td> | |
<td colspan="1" rowspan="1" | |

the proposed action but is not concerned enough to prevent the | |
action going ahead. | |

<td colspan="1" rowspan="1" | |
valign="top" align="left"> | |
<strong>-1</strong> | |
</td> | |
<td colspan="1" rowspan="1" | |
valign="top" align="left"> | |
This is a negative vote. On issues where consensus is required, | |
this vote counts as a <strong>veto</strong>. All vetoes must | |
contain an explanation of why the veto is appropriate. Vetoes with | |
no explanation are void. It may also be appropriate for a -1 vote | |
to include an alternative course of action. | |
</td> | |
</tr> | |
</table> | |
<p> | |
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. | |
</p> | |
<h4 class="subsection"> | |
<a name="Approvals"></a> | |
Approvals | |
</h4> | |
<p> | |
These are the types of approvals that can be sought. Different actions | |
require different types of approvals | |

<td colspan="1" rowspan="1" | |

<td colspan="1" rowspan="1" | |

For this to pass, all voters with binding votes must vote and there | |
can be no binding vetoes (-1). Consensus votes are rarely required | |
due to the impracticality of getting all eligible voters to cast a | |
vote. | |

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 | |
are strongly supported. To pass this vote requires at least 2/3 of | |
binding vote holders to vote +1 | |
</td> | |

<h4 class="subsection"> | |
<a name="Vetoes"></a> | |
Vetoes | |
</h4> | |
<p> | |
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. | |
</p> | |
<h4 class="subsection"> | |
<a name="Actions"></a> | |
