Hello Brian, Hope your doing well.
In case your not monitoring the Apache VCL mailing lists. We are in the process of applying for graduation to a Top-Level Apache project. As part of the process, we as a community are identifying the list of committers that will move forward when we graduate. Many of the initial project committers listed on the incubator project status page will not be moving, since they have not contributed. You had contributed work early on in the project, with your last contribution in 2009. This puts you in a position where it is not clear if you would like to continue to participate in the project. Let us know your intentions. Do you plan to become more active in the community to retain your committer level access or should we assume you are not interested in the continuing with the project? Either way we would welcome you or wish you the best on your endeavors.

From a quick scan, it looks like bmbouter made some commits in 2009 and isn't included. Which is OK. But from my experience, best to be explicit on these matters, and discuss the criteria used to determine the list. Make sure you're including documentation contributions and mailing list discussions etc. Alan said he'd follow the project to help insure a smooth graduation. So, I'd add him. You can leave me on the list, also. No. Don't change status file. Technically, that would require a vote… > > The PPMC members also need to appoint a chair for the project.

I don't think this is quite accurate. How about "VCL is > a modular cloud computing platform which dynamically provisions and > brokers remote access to compute resources."? I'll look at details of the text later… May be next week... --kevan -- Aaron Peeler Program Manager Virtual Computing Lab NC State University All electronic mail messages in connection with State business which are sent to or received by this account are subject to the NC Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties.
