+1 for c.a.o, since I think it is right thing for commons. <Jakarta PMC Chair hat on>
I really regret this step is necessary and is the beginning of the end of Jakarta. Even though this process started earlier than this proposal, this process will make the end of Jakarta unavoidable. I always hoped flattening commons would be the new Jakarta, but the thought crossed my mind I could well be the last Jakarta PMC Chair. Please understand that this proposal is *not* about Jakarta, but about commons, so instead of voting -1 on this proposal to prevent Jakarta to end, I prefer that everyone will continue to keep involved at Jakarta to move Jakarta to it's new role, whatever that may be. There are still a lot of projects that here that need your expertise, experience and spirit. </Jakarta PMC Chair hat on> Mvgr, Martin Henri Yandell wrote: > I think the end should be nigh for Jakarta (those on private@ will > have seen a thread in which I side-topic'd with the feeling that the > end should be nigh for Jakarta).
