Good Afternoon Everyone,
I am both humbled and honored to report that I have accepted the
nomination of the SpamAssassin PMC to serve as the new project chair.
On April 18th, the Board of Directors for the Apache Software Foundation
accepted the nomination and appointed me to the position.
Unfortunately and for very good reasons, our previous chair, Daryl C. W.
O'Shea is no longer unavailable to help the project. I hope all can
join me in thanking Daryl for his service to the project. And while he
will be sorely missed, for privacy reasons, I can only tell you that he
is urgently needed elsewhere. But I'm certain he needs and would
appreciate all the good karma we can send his way.
Over the past few weeks, I've been working to get up to speed on my
duties. Luckily, I attended the ASF BarCamp DC conference yesterday.
Not only was it a great conference with great people that taught me a
few things but several of the attendees were very helpful in helping me
overcome a few hurdles. Many thanks to Nick Burch, Greg Stein,
Christopher Guest, and Tim Williams for their help!
I'll be working hard to shepherd the 3.4.0 release as soon as possible
and look forward to helping the project.
Regards,
Kevin A. McGrail aka KAM
