Yesterday I received the Jakarta Monthly Newsletter. Interesting as always, until I got to the section on PMC nominations. There, I suddenly found my name listed as elected to the Jakarta PMC. This came as a complete surprise and shock to me.
When I followed the relevant link, I discovered that a discussion had taken place on this list, but I was not subscribed to general@jakarta (unless I'm mistaken, I'm not required to subscribe). At no point was a personal email sent to myself (or I guess the others nominated). I feel as though I have been pressganged. Unless I am mistaken, being a PMC member implies an overseing role for the whole of jakarta, a requirement to follow PMC issues and votes and to be a manager. Whilst the concept of being able to push forward jakarta, JSRs, make decisions etc is appealing, I do not believe that I have the time available to do the job. Hell, I already lack the time to fully oversee the commons-lang, commons-collections and commons-clazz projects that I am involved with as I would like :-) So, unless someone magically wants to convince me otherwise, I must respectfully decline the pressgang.
