Hi Craig,
Sorry to see you leave, but I can understand the decision to step
down.
Can you fill us in on the tasks and responsibilities for this PMC
Chair
position?
Responsibilities: monitor the project and make sure it is organized
and run according to The Apache Way, e.g. encourage civil discourse on
the lists; keep track of commits that might appear to violate others'
rights (copyright, etc.); report on a quarterly basis to the board;
respond to the board or other officer (trademarks, legal, press,
infrastructure) if requested. e.g. read and understand the
openjpa.apache.org web site trademark requirements; encourage users to
become contributors, contributors to become committers, and committers
to become PMC members; enroll new committers and PMC members in the
project authorization files.
What kind of time commitment is required?
Once per quarter, an hour to create the report. Watching the dev@ and
private@ lists: 2 hours per week (most candidates do this anyway).
Any benefits? :-)
Cool tag line on your signature. ;-)
Craig
Thanks,
Kevin

for me to step down and step back from active management and
oversight of
this project.
It's been a fascinating experience. I've learned a lot from all of
you. I
have no regrets, just good feelings all around.
Yet, it's been long enough, and I need to step back and out.
I'll continue to serve as chair until a replacement is appointed,
but we
must now choose a replacement for my position.
There are many in the community today who are very well qualified
to serve.
The question is whether they choose to serve.
With that, I'd like to open self nominations for chair of the OpenJPA
project. In a few days, nominees should have been identified.
People should
feel free to second nominations with whatever comments they choose.
A few days later, we should have a vote to recommend to the board
whom the
community wants to be the chair. Usually, the board will go along
with the
recommendation of the community.
Let the nominations begin!
