[jakarta.ee-community] Committer election voting is important

["Kevin Sutter" <sutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I know this message is going to a wider
community than I would like, but I don't know how to target just the EE4J
committers across all of the projects...  And, since this message
will be important as more of the community gets invited to be an EE4J committer,
I think it's okay to blast this out to the whole Jakarta EE community.

The existing committers on EE4J projects
may have noticed several elections getting kicked off recently to bring
in some new committer requests.  I am seeing many of the same people
voting across many of these elections.  Thank you!  But,
there are many eligible voters (committers) that are not taking the time
to vote.  The votes are open for one week and only three +1 votes
are needed to pass (with no -1 votes).  Although it looks like we
will exceed the minimum number of votes to claim the elections valid, some
of the projects are very light on participation (5 out of 20, 6 out of
24, etc).

This note is just to encourage you to
vote, if you have the ability.  Even neutral (0) votes are acceptable.
 At least it shows that you took a look at the vote and you do not
have enough information or background to make a positive or negative vote.
 Thanks!

P.S.  If you have any questions
about the voting or the nominations, please feel free to reach out to person
that submitted the nomination.  Or, general questions could be posted
back to this post.
