The PMC Chair is the eyes and ears of the board with respect to the ASF project. Just as people would justifiably howl long and loud if the board controlled or directed development of an ASF project, so would (should) they howl if any PMC chair does as well. There's is a big difference between a management/oversight "lead" and a developer/contributor "lead". -- =========================================================================== Jim Jagielski [|] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [|] http://www.jaguNET.com/ "There 10 types of people: those who read binary and everyone else." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
