[eclipse.org-planning-council] Planning Council: Please vote on bug 2277

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=227767
Ganymede maintenance releases should not use 'Winter',
'Spring' 

I'd like us to resolve bug 227757 before
we release ... 

And, I think it's the planning council's
job to do so. 
I know many of you already have voted
... but, I've written up the final alternatives, and a bit of "process"
to make sure we drive to completion quickly, 
with the least amount of "subjective"
counting of everyone's stated opinions. 

If you are asking "who is on the
Planning Council anyway?" ... then I hope you are not one of them
on that council :) 
but others can see the list at 
http://www.eclipse.org/org/foundation/council.php

I've attached the full contents of my
final comments in the bug below, just to motivate you to go vote, 
but, please vote in the bug itself ...
not on this list. 

Thanks,

I have a hard time counting all the
+1's, etc., here (that is, to "see" the consensus) plus, technically
speaking, I think the Planning Council is the Eclipse body in charge of
these names, so I will ask the Planning Council to make the final vote
based on all this good discussion and suggestions. 

Below I list what I think are the 3
viable alternatives, from all those discussed. 

Planning Council members:

Please indicate your top _two_ votes,
by letter, A. B., or C, ... in order of "first choice", "second
choice", ... that way, if there is no majority winner, we will have
a "run off" vote automatically built in, by eliminating the least
voted on choice, and then taking the majority of what remains. (it's supposed
to be a fairer way of voting .. recently piloted in North Carolina :) ).


Who are the Planning council members
anyway? See 
http://www.eclipse.org/org/foundation/council.php

Let's say the "cut off" for
voting is Monday 5 PM Eastern ... that is a bit short, but I think we should
have this finalized before we release, just in case it effects written
materials or discussions that occur around the release.

Lettered alternatives below are listed
with: 
Full formal name
 Short Name
 Name for EPP zip files, etc.
    (Note, the names for EPP
zip files, etc,
    are just an illustrative
suggestion ...
    EPP,  or any project,
can decide themselves ... 
    I just listed them here
for illustration, in case 
    it effects considerations
for the name.
