Aaron has been involved in Geronimo since its launch and has submitted numerous patches.

He has actively participated in design discussions and has shown an ability to work with other Contributors.
I would like to nominate Aaron Mulder as a Committer and here's my +1.
[ ] +1 - I agree. [ ] +0 - I agree, but think we should wait until ... [ ] -0 - I disagree, but not enough to stop the train. [ ] -1 - I disagree and my reason(s) are/is ......

I'll throw in a non-binding +1 for Aaron as a committer. I don't know Aarono from Adam but I have been following the process here and to be frank - Aaron's iniative, the posts that I've read, and responce to-date - are a positive sign that Geronimo isn't a club looking for a label.
I'll be perfectly honest: I had reservations about Aaron when he started posting to the mailing list. 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.
Absolutely disagree.
As soon as you let a PMC make decisions behind closed doors - then your asking for trouble. A PMC is there to handle either (a) dull, boring, mindless administrata, or (b) nasty stuff that you really don't want to know about. Anything in between should be for the community to decide and if that causes some flack - so be it.
Cheers, Steve.
(who is someone who has been combative from time to time and does not feel obliged to appolagise for it)

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.
