Just so it is clear, I am assuming that statement is with your "member of the committee" hat on, not your "chairman of the board" hat on. Let us know if you intended otherwise. My fear is that after the IBM donation is used up, we will be wanting more and while the board may see value in the results it may not be at the point where it is ready to discuss funding this from ASF funds and we won't have have the preparatory discussions with sponsors, which generally (but thankfully not in this instance) involve long lead times. As for me, as long as the coordinators work with Daniel and he approves of the efforts, I not only am OK with it, I am positively supportive of it. > That said, having the three individuals sharing the coordination role is a > great step forward. +1 > Craig - Sam Ruby
