Greetings Jakarta EE Specification Committee,
This is not the call for the ballot. Rather, this is a proposal for how the ballot will be presented.
The JESP/EFSP requires a ballot on the release of each Specification Project. Jakarta Dependency Injection is one of two specifications "owned" by the Jakarta Contents and Dependency Injection Specification Project.
I propose, that rather than wait for CDI, we push forward on this specification individually, with an understanding that the ballot for both this specification and for the CDI Specification must be completed successfully before the release review for the CDI Specification Project can be declared successful (i.e. one release review for the project, and one ballot for each specification). I think that this will be less confusing for the community.
Regarding the content of the ballot request, I propose that the call for the ballot include links to the related PRs which contain all of the relevant information. The ballot request will look something like this:
I need your vote to approve the Jakarta Dependency Injection 1.0 release.
The relevant materials are available here:
Per the process, this will be a fourteen day ballot, ending on August 22/2019. I require a Super-majority positive vote of the Specification Committee members. Community input is welcome, but only votes cast by Specification Committee Representatives will be counted.
The Specification Committee is composed of representatives of the Jakarta EE Working Group Member Companies (Fujitsu, IBM, Oracle, Payara, Red Hat, Tomitribe), along with individuals who represent the EE4J PMC, Participant Members, and Committer Members.
Specification Committee representatives, your vote is hereby requested. Please respond with +1 (positive), 0 (abstain), or -1 (reject). Any feedback that you can provide to support your vote will be appreciated.
Do we need anything else included in the ballot call?
I'll send this out to the public list tomorrow. Let me know ASAP if you have any concerns.
Wayne
