# [8.1] Release Manager Voting Opens - Thread: https://externals.io/message/114044 - Original archive: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/114044 - Started by Sara Golemon on 2021-04-12T19:40:32+00:00 - Messages: 6 - Reply by email to internals@lists.php.net - More for agents: search with https://externals.io/search.md?q={query} · JSON API at https://externals.io/api · documentation at https://externals.io/llms.txt --- ## #114044 — Sara Golemon — 2021-04-12T19:40:32+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/114044#114044 As stated last week, the vote for your PHP 8.1 Release Managers opens today. Now, if fact. Please take your newly reset authentication credentials over to https://wiki.php.net/todo/php81 and place your ranked votes. A few reminders: 1/ Joe Watkins, as the only "veteran" volunteer has a guaranteed spot. 2/ Since Joe offered to mentor a pair of rookies rather than the typical one, we still have two seats up for grabs. 3/ As there are 8 candidates and only 2 seats, it may take up to six rounds of STV elimination to reach the two winners, but it will likely take fewer. 4/ Please use all your votes, and use them on unique candidates. Voting for the same candidate twice only wastes votes. 5/ If you don't know the candidates well enough to make a decision, reach out and ask them questions! 6/ Vote based on perceived trust and dependability, not popularity. Good luck to all candidates, and may the odds be ever in your favor. -Sara --- ## #114108 — Sara Golemon — 2021-04-23T13:47:57+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/114044#114108 · In reply to: #114044 > As stated last week, the vote for your PHP 8.1 Release Managers opens > today. > > Now, if fact. > > Please take your newly reset authentication credentials over to > https://wiki.php.net/todo/php81 and place your ranked votes. > > A quick reminder about RM voting. We've got 27 votes so far, but I know there are more folks active. The voting period ends on Monday April 26th. I hadn't set a time, but let's call it 14:40 America/Chicago (UTC-0500) since I opened it at that time on the 12th. Again, best of luck to the candidates, and looking forward to a smooth and successful PHP 8.1 release. -Sara --- ## #114175 — Adiel Cristo via internals — 2021-04-26T01:19:09+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/114044#114175 · In reply to: #114108 Hi Sara, > > > > […] > A quick reminder about RM voting.

Eric Van Johnson Best regards, *Adiel Cristo* --- ## #114191 — Sara Golemon — 2021-04-26T19:47:13+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/114044#114191 · In reply to: #114044 > Please take your newly reset authentication credentials over to > https://wiki.php.net/todo/php81 and place your ranked votes. > > The voting for PHP 8.1 Release Managers has now closed. In the first round, both Ben Ramsey and Patrick Allaert handily captured a quota of votes to secure seats meaning that 2nd and further rounds do not need to be considered and we have our results. The Veteran RM for 8.1 will be Joe Watkins. The Rookie RMs for 8.1 will be Ben Ramsey and Patrick Allaert. Congratulations to Joe, Ben, and Patrick, and a big thank you to all who volunteered to step up and assist with this essential role. Please refer to https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/docs/release-process.md#new-release-manager-checklist for tips on getting permissions and other pre-release tasks. And of course, reach out to the RM list and/or individual prior release managers at any time for help. -Sara --- ## #114192 — Ben Ramsey — 2021-04-27T00:04:09+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/114044#114192 · In reply to: #114191 > > > > Please take your newly reset authentication credentials over to https://wiki.php.net/todo/php81 and place your ranked votes. > > > The voting for PHP 8.1 Release Managers has now closed. > > In the first round, both Ben Ramsey and Patrick Allaert handily captured a quota of votes to secure seats meaning that 2nd and further rounds do not need to be considered and we have our results. > > The Veteran RM for 8.1 will be Joe Watkins. > The Rookie RMs for 8.1 will be Ben Ramsey and Patrick Allaert. > > Congratulations to Joe, Ben, and Patrick, and a big thank you to all who volunteered to step up and assist with this essential role. > > Please refer to https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/docs/release-process.md#new-release-manager-checklist for tips on getting permissions and other pre-release tasks. > And of course, reach out to the RM list and/or individual prior release managers at any time for help. > > -Sara Thank you so much to everyone for entrusting me to serve as one of the release managers for PHP 8.1!
