Metron doesn't have one since it is an incubating project. The metron PPMC will have to decide on one as it nears graduation. That person will be named in the graduation resolution as the VP, and it he resolution is subject to board approval. > > The chair of the PMC is appointed by the ASF board.

But that may stem from the fact that ORC was a direct-to-tlp project. For an incubating project, you (PPMC) decide on an initial chair, include that in the graduation proposal, and submit it to the board for approval. > > 2.) How does Release Manager position work? Any way you want it to work. :) A release manager is basically someone who steps up to create a release tarball of the source code, deals with the voting/vetting process, and if approved, makes the release artifacts available. Showing the ability to make clean release is a major point in the criteria for graduation, as is the ability to build a sustainable community. > > A Release Manager (RM) is a committer who volunteers to produce a > Release Candidate.
