When we graduate, we need to have someone who will act as the Chair of the Project Management Committee, or "Chair". The Chair reports to the ASF Board on behalf of the project, maintains information on the PMC disposition, provides write access to new committers, etc. So besides sounding kind of prestigious, the Chair is basically a glorified administrative assistant. :) http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#chair
My understanding is that the Chair a) needs to be on the PMC[1], and b) must volunteer for the job. So, do we have any volunteers? Jonathan (hint, hint :)? [1] http://incubator.apache.org/projects/cassandra.html#Project+info -- Eric Evans eev...@rackspace.com
