He is a smart guy and always takes the initiative, but I've seem him become combative in the past. He hasn't been that way on this project, but than again he has been working hard to obtain commit access and doesn't want to piss anyone off before this vote takes place. I can't give him a +1 but I can't disregard his contributions to this project either, so a -1 is inappropriate. There. That is honest feedback on a public list. I debated doing this. The fact that I debated speaking my mind at all, convinced me that private voting in the PMC is a must. You want honesty in a public forum, then people are going to be hurt -- or at least offended. I'm sorry, Aaron if this has offended or embarrassed you in any way. I felt compelled to be honest. Apparently David Blevins and others feel you deserve commit access ... I respect there opinions and won't object. -- Richard Monson-Haefel Co-Founder\Developer, Apache Geronimo Author of: J2EE Web Services (AW 2003) Enterprise JavaBeans, 4ed (O'Reilly 2004) Java Message Service (O'Reilly 2000) http://www.Monson-Haefel.com
