To address the concerns of the Apache board I'd like to present to you an updated resolution proposal. The only things that have changed are the list of names for the initial PMC. I'm glad Keiron Liddle offered to help us. Bertrand Delacrétaz may join us later.
I'm presenting this to you only to make sure that everybody has a chance to chime in, in case something's wrong. I called this a lazy vote, so there's no need to send in a pile of +1s again. Just in case somebody thinks there's something wrong, please make yourself heard within the next 48h. BTW, we've got a good chance that we get approval by the board before weekend. This lazy vote will close at 21:59 GMT, Wednesday September 29, 2004: http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?day=29&month=9&year=2004&hour=21&min=59 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of open-source software related to the conversion of XML formats to graphical output, for distribution at no charge to the public.
