Still need votes from:
Erwin van der Koogh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Axl Mattheus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Vishal Mahajan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Milan Tomic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Karel Wouters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Noah Levitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Walter Hoehn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I'll give it another 48 hours then I will call it.
Remember - if I don't get a vote, I'm assuming you don't want to be on
the PMC initially. (But we can always add later:>.)
Cheers,
Berin
