Hi Jim, +1 to graduate, and great work pushing this along so far. +1 for Brock to be VP.
I'd consider being extra inclusive as far as anyone that's been a mentor or PPMC member to date. I would include all mentors as the resolution won't likely pass unless there are some senior ASF peeps on it. I would at least leave Patrick (the project's Champion), and also consider adding Nige since he was a big supporter of the project. At the ASF, merit doesn't expire, and if they've contributed ever, they are strong members of the community whether they are actively contributing or not. Life happens, so it's understandable peeps may drift from direct activity from time to time. So, net effect, I'd add Patrick and Nige to the resolution. That being said...(and you're going to say, hey, what the heck, he just got off his soap box about being extra inclusive, and...) I've got enough projects on my plate and am super happy with the way that the MRUnit community has grown and I've felt I've helped in my mentor role to date and been useful *but*, I'd humbly request that you don't include me in the resolution. Great job and I wish you guys the best. I'll hang around on the mailing list and help where I can going forward, but no need to be on another committee for me. So here's my proposed list: > * Brock Noland [email protected] > * Eric Sammer [email protected] > * Aaron Kimball [email protected] > * Konstantin Boudnik [email protected] > * Garrett Wu [email protected] > * Jim Donofrio [email protected] > * Jarek Jarcec Cecho [email protected] * Patrick Hunt [email protected] * Nigel Daley [email protected] Cheers, Chris On Apr 15, 2012, at 12:48 PM, Jim Donofrio wrote: > I added the other 4 committers off that site to the initial PMC list.
