I proposed the following changes to Jakarta's charter to the ASF board a
few hours. Essentially what I intended to do was to take replace the
legislated charter with the publically posted goals that Jakarta has been
operating under for as long as I have been aware of.
The following points were raised:
An objection was raised to the omittion of the words open-source from
the first paragraph. I accept this and will submit a revision restoring
that phrase.
A request was made that a stronger statement be made about adhering to
open standards be added. I will work back with that person to find
acceptable wording.
A request was made that we omit the company names and e-mail addresses
from the resolution. This certainly meets with my approval as it is a
maintenance nightmare keeping up with everybody's current company
association ;-).
Based on these comments, I view the new charter as substantially approved
and intend to resume the normal course of Jakarta business.
