Re: [technology-pmc] [CQ 2689] SAN Simulator Version: 0.2

A darned good question.

Anyone on the Technology PMC can approve the request. Change the "PMC_Approved" flag to "+1" and add a comment to the effect of "The Technology PMC approves" and click the "return to IP Team" button.

Some small amount of leg work is required before you do so, however. First, do a rudimentary license check. If there is any hint of *GPL, I put a comment to the effect of "GPL ain't gonna happen, have you considered alternatives?" (for example [1]) If you're not sure about the license, the IP team will take care of it when you pass it on to them.

I try to make sure that they've considered things that have already been approved. For example, I recently pushed back on a request for pdfbox [2] which provides support similar to that of itext which has already been approved. In retrospect, I probably should have used a few more words in my comment (we're still waiting for an answer).

Finally, I try to look for technical sanity in the CQ. If I can't understand why they want it, or for some reason it just seems or feels odd, I question it.

Honestly, most of the time, this is pretty easy. It's only every once-in-a-while that I push back.

I'm happy to take the lead on these for the short term. But, please do feel free to jump in if you feel comfortable doing so. As a matter of practice, maybe we should avoid approving our own submissions :-)

HTH,

Wayne

This CQ is currently awaiting PMC Approval. PMC members, please use the
PMC_Approved flag on this CQ to indicate your approval (flag set to "+") or
disapproval (flag set to "-").

How do we handle this? Should simply one of us review and "+" if it's ok
right away and any issues should be discussed on the PMC list before a "-"?

Or do we want to discuss/micro-vote all CQs on the list before +?
