During this weeks meeting we were unable to take action due to a lack of 70% votes for Simboss's nomination to the PMC. We also received a nomination for Andrea to resume PMC duties.
So the time has come to change the guard according to the roles and responsibilities laid out in the developers guide. I was able to speak briefly to James and he recommended the formation of an Honored Founder position, you will find the developers guide modified to suite. - http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/4+Roles+and+Responsibilities It is my intention that this be a short guard duty as we move the codebase towards the OSGEO foundation, and outline the formation of a PSC. It is my hope that the PSC would have a much reduced roll, and possibly a proposal system similar to GeoServer where the absence of a vote does not hold up the process. We got a good crew, and a short distance to go ;-) Rock on everyone, Jody > A request was made in todays IRC meeting to see if we can get the PMC to > be a bit more responsive.
