Re: [PMC VOTE] PMC Nominations

The criteria you used for nominating people seems a bit weird to me. Release managers I understand somewhat, but contributers to the
newsletter? That's like saying those that baked cookies for the last
board meeting should be nominated.

I have a lot more respect for the newsletter than that.

Weird.  Arbitrary.  Rewards self-promotion, not necessarily merit.

Don't forget, incomplete.

I am especially disturbed since your list of release managers is
definitely incomplete.  What did you use to generate this list?

Ah, you did't forget.  Good.

I distinctly remember that Morgan Delagrange served as release manager
for Commons Collections last spring. He is also currently the release
manager for Jelly.
Selection criteria aside, I nominate Morgan for the PMC.

Damn, I wanted to do that.  ;-)

Now that I think of it, let me just skim through the
Jakarta-Announcements archive from various points last year.

 - Danny Angus
 - Peter Carlson
 - Morgan Delagrange
 - Pier Fumagalli
 - Ceki Gülcü
 - Dmitri Plotnikov
 - Phillip Rhodes

To add to the list, I'd like to nominate these active committers:

 - James Strachan
 - Jason van Zyl
 - Ted Husted
 - Rod Waldhoff

I nominate all of them.  (And why not, if the PMC is to become a fairly
arbitrary but huge group of permanently installed members.)

All good nominations. Pier, Ceki, Jason, and Ted previously served as PMC members and declined their renominations, but I plan to talk to them about that. At a minimum, they will be restored as emeritus members.

One last note - please indicate your intended timeframe and deadline when you call for the vote rather than later in the thread.

Hmm. Me thinks Chuck may have the makings for a good PMC chair someday. I hear that there may be a vacancy shortly... ;-)
