When you fix a bug in 4.2 please make sure it is also fixed in master.</p><p>The outstanding resolved issues now stand at 492 with 250 blockers and critical still to be verified.

We currently have that term defined as:</p><p>Lazy Consensus - Lazy consensus requires 3 binding +1 votes and no binding -1 votes.</p><p>I'd like to propose that we change the PMC and Committer voting rule to use the Lazy 2/3 Majority approach defined as:</p><p>Lazy 2/3 majority votes requires at least 3 binding votes and twice as many binding +1 votes as binding -1 votes. <br>...</p></blockquote><h5><a name="ApacheCloudStackWeeklyNews-24July2013-PossiblyEndingtheIRCChats"></a>Possibly Ending the IRC Chats</h5><p>After low attendance in weekly IRC chats, Joe Brockmeier has raised the question about the <a href="http://markmail.org/message/n7ex7rdvfguhwylr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="external-link">need for regular IRC chats</a>.

This started a large rebase and merge of the UI code of other developers in the community. While the original commit had the best intention and was committed correctly for 4.3, the review and commit were done within a short time frame and didn't give the community much time to see it and understand the impact. Make sure to communicate and be aware of what impacts your code might have on others working on the same objects as you. </p><p>Chip Childers pointed out:</p><blockquote><p>...that sweeping changes like this (or architectural changes as well) are best done <b>early</b> in a release cycle. The challenge we've run into here is that while 4.2 work is proceeding, master is open for 4.3 changes (and there is a preference that if something big is going to come in, nows the time to do it).</p></blockquote><h5><a name="ApacheCloudStackWeeklyNews-24July2013-NewComponentsinJIRA"></a>New Components in JIRA</h5><p>To help clarify better on what a bug is all about, and to get it to the right visibility on it, <a href="http://markmail.org/message/tc74y3fqs27tu6uy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="external-link">Prasanna Santhanam and Animesh Chaturvedi</a> have added several new component fields in JIRA to help with bug distinction.
