ok, two things.
1) I went ahead and went with the majority opinion and sent out the
inaugural newsletter. You'll hopefully see it on committers@, with
reply-to set to here.
2) The May newsletter is in
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/site/trunk/content/newsletter if
people want to help drafting next month's newsletter. It will be sent
from ApacheCon, so will have a section on the first few days of the event.
