...get a decision on something?
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You have an issue and would like a decision to be made. First, make sure
|
||||
that the issue hasn't already been addressed, by looking at documentation,
|
||||
bugs, specifications, or asking. Information and links can be found on the
|
||||
`Ironic wiki`_ page.
|
||||
|
||||
There are several ways to solicit comments and opinions:
|
||||
|
||||
* bringing it up at the `weekly Ironic meeting`_
|
||||
* bringing it up on IRC_
|
||||
* bringing it up on the `mailing list`_ (add "[Ironic]" to the Subject of the
|
||||
email)
|
||||
|
||||
If there are enough core folks at the weekly meeting, after discussing an
|
||||
issue, voting could happen and a decision could be made.
|
||||
The problem with IRC or the weekly meeting is that feedback will only
|
||||
come from the people that are actually present.
|
||||
|
||||
To inform (and solicit feedback from) more people about an issue,
|
||||
the preferred process is:
|
||||
|
||||
#. bring it up on the mailing list
|
||||
#. after some period of time has elapsed (and depending on the
|
||||
thread activity), someone should propose a solution via gerrit.
|
||||
(E.g. the person that started the thread if no one else steps up.)
|
||||
The proposal should be made in the the git repository that is associated
|
||||
with the issue. (For instance, this decision process was proposed as a
|
||||
documentation patch to the ironic repository.)
|
||||
#. In the email thread, don't forget to provide a link to the proposed patch!
|
||||
#. The discussion then moves to the proposed patch. If this is a big
|
||||
decision, we could declare that some percentage of the cores should
|
||||
vote on it before landing it.
|
||||
|
||||
(This process was suggested in an email thread about
|
||||
`process for making decisions`_.)
