I have very much enjoyed participating in the Incubator during your time in office. Thanks as well to everyone who has contributed to the Incubator over the years for having taught me so much, collectively; and thanks to the current members of the IPMC for honoring me with the Chair's responsibilities. I love my career as an open-source developer and I'm glad for the chances the Incubator provides to foster successful projects and make it easier for others to take the same path. For those reading this list who are not yet familiar with the role that a PMC Chair plays in the governance of a typical Apache project, the most visible task is to deliver a report to the Apache Software Foundation's Board of Directors every three months. Aside from that, the Chair generally participates in project development as an ordinary member of the PMC. Under normal circumstances, it is not a demanding job. http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#chair The Incubator is different because it reports monthly and aggregates the reports of many podlings. Our report is the closest thing the Incubator has to a product, and when done well, it offers substantial value by keeping us coordinated and focused. However, well-done Incubator reports have historically required substantial individual effort by the Chair. My primary goal as Chair will be to streamline the report procedure. I hope to build institutions and increase automation in order that the Incubator may deliver consistently high-quality reports month after month regardless of any one person's availability as the board meeting approaches. Some ASF projects elect their PMC Chair annually; for others, the Chair may serve for an indefinite period. I have proposed to serve for six months and then make way for someone else -- both because I have other projects I am putting on hold and will want to return to, and because experience has taught me that rotating multiple people through a leadership role enriches the community and deepens involvement. If all goes well, perhaps my successor will not have to work as hard as I will to live up to the standards set by my predecessors.

Re: Change of Chair
Benson, IPMC chair is one of those jobs that is mostly thankless. I applaud you for your willingness to take it on and thank you for helping to bring clarity to the growth issues faced here. I suspect you are disappointed at having solved he problems some people perceive here. However, I believe you have done a great job of having the IPMC focus on what is/is not a problem. Thank you for making your successors job much easier. Ross On 13 June 2013 22:03, Benson Margulies bimargul...@gmail.com wrote: Incubator community, I have tendered my resignation as VP, Incubator.
