Re: Current roster of the Jakarta PMC

Could you please elaborate on how these projects have achieved these aims 
under the current PMC?
 

no.

I'm very interested in where Apache/Jakarta members have been/are 
currently excluded, and how the new PMC will stop this from happening.
 

I've no desire to engage.  Stand down from red alert.

changes, but Sam has outlined, several times, most of the changes that 
I'd actually like to see.  The remainder of which, I'm not certain that 
the Jakarta community of the whole has control over.

One change I do not wish to see are projects which specifically exclude 
Apache/Jakarta members due to the cult of personality of one of its

Given the context, I can only presume that Andy was referring to emails 
such as this one [1].  If I am incorrect, I expect Andy will correct me.

How will the new PMC stop this from happening?  I have not specified a 
timetable for this change to occur (I am being very careful and 
deliberate in the evolotion of the current structure of Jakarta to 
conform to the wishes of the ASF board), but the direction Jakarta is 
heading is to make the release votes of any software from Jakarta to be 
the purvue of the PMC.  In other words, only PMC members can issue 
binding votes on such matters.  Note that such votes are by design 
majority votes, so are not subject to veto.

Before this change occurs, I have been supporting the efforts of various 
subprojects to become independent projects, and to significantly expand 
the membership of the Jakarta PMC.

Furthermore, I expect that the resolution to establish the Maven PMC 
will be satisfactorily resolved long before the change I describe above 
is put into place.

Note: even if there is a chairman change for Jakarta, the chairman would 
still need to address the same concerns of the ASF board in this matter.

 Given the context, I can only presume that Andy was referring to emails 
 such as this one [1].  If I am incorrect, I expect Andy will correct me.

Given [2] and [3], I would have thought it reasonably obvious that this 
was not intended for public review, and that Jason was unusually stressed 
by family events.

This is the second time that particular email has been referenced without 
context, which I find a little inconsiderate to both Nicola and Jason, 
given the cirumstances.

But anyways, Jason is not a project (James is :) ), and, as on most other 
jakarta projects, one person doesn't make the decisions.

Personality conflicts and that one person doesn't 'get along' with another 
is something that we all learn to deal with in real life. That it happens 
@ Apache should be of no great surprise. I don't expect the Jakarta 
Project, or the ASF, to be perfect, and will work around the issues that 
crop up. Other people will do what they see as right.

 How will the new PMC stop this from happening?  I have not specified a 
 timetable for this change to occur (I am being very careful and 
 deliberate in the evolotion of the current structure of Jakarta to 
 conform to the wishes of the ASF board), but the direction Jakarta is

 the purvue of the PMC.  In other words, only PMC members can issue 
 binding votes on such matters.  Note that such votes are by design 
 majority votes, so are not subject to veto.
What does this mean, exactly? 
That if the Jakarta PMC doesn't like the behaviour of one person on a 
project, they will veto the release of software that the person was 
involved in creating? I'm hoping I misunderstand you on this.
