One question I'd have for those who voted for #2 ahead of #4: Who
should be responsible for approving RTIs (or for that matter,
requiring approval of same), and under what authority would they
operate?

I would think that would have to remain the area of the consolidations
and the c-teams (or whatever they get called) to decide on the
appropriate consolidation based framework.

The reason that I voted that way was not so much for the ability to log
an RTI externally (although that is a worthy goal and should have a
relatively high priority within the "project" to deploy such a beast),
but for the transparency that an external RTI process would give.

Excellent point. I think we need ARCs, but we also need some
gatekeeping organization. I do not believe that that Community/Project
organization necessarily follows along the consolidation boundaries that
would manage putbacks, however.

This is a good question for the new OGB to contemplate.

Non-urgency of replacing Jive (Was: Priorities results)

One big surprise to me was the Jive item. My impression has
been that there's broad disdain for Jive and that it was
causing great heartburn for many. Apparently the large
majority of voters either: totally stay away from Jive (and
therefore don't care much what does/doesn't happen to it), or
they use it and they're (at least) OK with it.

For my vote, as much as I hate Jive, it's not as big an obstacle
to OpenSolaris success as the many other issues I voted higher
priority.

I go to Jive archives occasionally to look in groups I don't read. It
is adequate (barely) to the task.

But compared to the other projects, the group has much bigger fish to fry.

I will be really honest and simply say that I do use the maillists which
are based on Mailman. Until this voting process began I did not know what
Jive was. That is how insignificant it is to me.

I think that people that are regulars on the lists will subscribe and
be completely oblivious to Jive. Those that are potential "joiners"
of the community are likely to first encounter Jive. Since all of the
people that can vote are regulars in at least one community, it is
quite likely that even if Jive was a their first view of OpenSolaris
discussions, it has been long forgotten.

>From an approachability standpoint, this begs the following questions:

1) Are the primary goals at this time to make life easier for those
that have already committed, or for those that are potential community
members?

2) Does the poll reach the right group to achieve 1?

My personal take is that getting all of the pieces in place to make
supporting a larger and more diverse community are important before
trying to make life easier for the newbies and drive-bys. That is,
the dependence on tools that are only available to Sun employees is
likely to discourage people that are interested in deeper involvement
with OpenSolaris for the Open part rather than the Solaris part.

There is no link to the results directly on

Super powers indeed! :) I'd like to thank Stephen for all the hard work
he did on poll.opensolaris.org in such a short timeframe. The results of
the poll are very useful and have already proven the value of the poll
facility to the entire community.

Now that's said, I'd really like Stephen to apply his Super Powers to #1 -
"Deploy a public defect management system", and do for this, what he
already did (*very* successfully) for the OpenSolaris SCM tool selection
and deployment.

Someone with less super powers will have to handle the website update! :)

Can you explain the format of the "Raw Ballots" link? At first
glance it appears everyone voted for item 1 as top priority, but
it also appears later in many lines too. Is the first column the
poll id and the rest the votes?

This is the so-called BLT format, which apparently comes from the
Electoral Reform Society in the UK. I've been working from the sample
ballots on http://stv.sf.net (and sites using OpenSTV or its component
modules).

The first column of the ballot section is the ballot's weight.

Here's the docstring comment in emit_blt(), from vote-cat.py:

"""From http://stv.sf.net, we have the BLT format:

4 2 # four candidates are competing for two seats
-2 # Bob has withdrawn (only print if there were withdrawls!)
1 4 1 3 2 0 # first ballot
1 2 4 1 3 0
1 1 4 2 3 0 # The first number is the ballot weight (>= 1).
1 1 2 4 3 0 # The last 0 is an end of ballot marker.
1 1 4 3 0 # Numbers inbetween correspond to the candidates
1 3 2 4 1 0 # on the ballot.
1 3 4 1 2 0
1 3 4 1 2 0 # Chuck, Diane, Amy, Bob
1 4 3 2 0
1 2 3 4 1 0 # last ballot
0 # end of ballots marker
"Amy" # candidate 1
"Bob" # candidate 2
"Chuck" # candidate 3
"Diane" # candidate 4
"Gardening Club Election" # title

where the '#' characters are actually illegal. We don't presently offer
withdrawls. Our output is thus

<len(question.answers)> <positions>
<withdrawls>
<ballots>
0
"<question.answers[0]"
"<question.answers[1]"
...
"<poll.summary>: <question.description>"

which we send to standard output.
"""

Surprised by a couple of things

- My inability to realize that we were only voting for 5 places
- Jive getting eliminated first
- Despite having 3 and 5 available elsewhere, it seems people
want an official resource
- Tonic folks, ignore 2-5 for now, and concentrate on 1. If I
understand the numbers correctly, it's by far and away our
largest priority
- Can anything be said about the voter distribution based on
the polls? I'm surprised RTI is as high as it is.
- Also vaguely indicates that no on seems keen to actually
step up to the plate and be part of a wider infrastructure
team to work on this stuff
- A turnout of 88 people. Would be interesting to see what
impact (if any) the extension and/or mail nag had. We're
still a long way short of getting 50% to vote.

Taken as a whole, these results suggest that what people are really
looking for is an integrated end-to-end open workflow. That is, for
tools that aid rather than hinder and obscure. It's not surprising
that code review would be a part of that.

I'm a bit confused by your reaction here, as I thought this was
supposed to be about the OGB's priorities. While the Tonic team has
accomplished much and continues to work hard, it will no longer be
directly responsible for any of these tasks. We cannot wait 10 years
for the underresourced Tonic team to implement these features one by
one, dragging Sun tools into the open as funding permits. Instead, we
should conduct a process similar to that being used to evaluate and
implement SCM for each missing piece of functionality. If the Tonic
team can commit resources in a particular area, it's welcome and
encouraged to submit a proposal. If not, someone else will need to
step in. Sun management must decide, and express through the
allocation of resources, how much importance it attaches to the
continued use of each of the existing closed tools.

> - Can anything be said about the voter distribution based on

As am I, but only because the consolidations would lack the ability to
enforce integration requirements under the proposed constitution
without CG restructuring.

That conclusion is valid only if one assumes that the Tonic team is
responsible for delivering the goods. It isn't.

Hrm, that was on the assumption that the current web team == Tonic, which I know
it technically isn't. But yeah, on reading back through it, it's a pretty
foolish comment to make. I guess what I'm saying is that we now have to look
very seriously at whether it will be possible to release our current tool chain
(including bugster). If that's not looking likely [1], then you're absolutely
right, we shouldn't hold off for that to magically happen and continue on
working and evaluating alternatives.


Glynn

[1] And really, I'm disappointed at the severe lack of information that has
been floated on the public mailing lists about it. I *know* (or heard
rumours) there is work/discussion going on behind the scenes, but I don't
know the status. It's never going to be a community project to replace
the tools if all the information about them is currently behind a wall.
