The interesting parts are:
1) Steven Bodewig has been nominated as chair and he accepted the position
2) the PMC list was self nominated, everybody who asked for it got in the list
3) the Gump community decided to propose its own charter as:
responsible for the creation and maintenance of software related
to promotion and facilitation of automated integration of the software
produced by other projects, based on software licensed to the Foundation
My personal impression is that the community is very healthy, diverse and very willing to exit the java-only status where it was born, especially with Gumpy (the python rewrite). Evidence of this is the continous flow of commits from many different committers as well as the prompt and smooth actions that resulted in this proposal and to the nomination of the chair and PMC list.
Please allow me to say that after experiencing the Jakarta PMC chair election, this has been a wonderfully refreshing thing and showed me, once more, that container projects don't work.
Also understand that nothing in this proposal is carved in stone and, if necessary, the community is more than willing to listen to comments/suggesions or answer further questions that the board might have.
Thanks much for you time.
