This came out to a separate list but I thought it might be of interest to some on this list especially in light of the experience of the last couple days.
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Assistance: Infrastructure Date: Mon, 9 May 2005 00:55:33 -0700 From: Greg Stein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache Committers, As I am sure many of you are aware, the Apache Software Foundation continues to grow and develop. When the ASF was started six years ago, we had just one project: the Apache HTTP Server. There were two or three dozen committers, and one small CVS repository. Today, we have dozens of top-level projects, a hundred codebases, around a thousand committers, hundreds of mailing lists, lots of wikis, a couple bug trackers, a rack full of machines, two colocation facilities, and even further growth ahead of us. The ASF has enjoyed a lot of success with our projects and with our visibility, impact, and influence across the open source community. Heck, across the entire computing industry. Unfortunately, this growth and success comes at a cost. The administrative burden for all of this continues to increase. Our current team of volunteers need assistance. There are many ways to participate and to help out. Please subscribe to infrastructure@ and ask how you can help. You can contribute to the ASF in many more ways than coding. Your assistance can help ALL of our projects. If you have a little time, then please help our infrastructure team. Thanks, -g -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... ASF Chairman ... http://www.apache.org/
