Congratulations Andrew. However, this raises an interesting point. Why do the members of a group get to determine the project lead, rather than the members of said project? By these rules, the implication is that, for example, Dalibor solely gets to determine the leads of Caciocavallo, IcedTea, Zero, BSD-port, MacOS X port, the PPC-AIX port, the MIPS port and the proposed AArch64 port. This doesn't make sense to me. I also don't see a single group lead by someone outside Oracle. -- Andrew :) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
