Include me and I would also like to be the chair.

Good news! I've added your name to the list of proposed PMC members, and noted you interest in the position of chair.
Welcome abord.

Cheers, Steve.

Hi,

When this was discussed last time there was points that

were raised

that need

to be addressed before any such proposal goes forward. It

would be

unlikely

that these issues could be resolved in the timeframe proposed.

Especially

given that some of the interested parties may not read their mail

before the

vote is closed. As it is a major change I don't think it is

appropriate to

try and rush through anything without everyones involvement.

I expect to see at least half of our code migrate to

Apache Commons.

Of the

remainder I expect to see a large proportion move to

incubator (or

some to

Apache Commons sandbox if it exists and some to incubator).

Hopefully this

will see a return to access based on merit and thus remove the

source of

conflict by resticting access appropriately.

At that stage it may be more appropriate to migrate to a

top level

project.

I disagree. Two reasons:

1) When deciding what to move to commons / incubator we must have a
clear picture of what Avalon should be. That requires

some form of

leadership
and I believe a PMC will give us that. (By formalizing

the decision

process and
making it impossible for the small non-communicating fiefdoms we
have now
to exist.)

2) If we have to wait until code migration stops before

setting up a

PMC it
will take forever. I say we get this PMC set up and

start cleaning up

Avalon.

And, sign me up for that PMC list, Stephen.

With pleasure!

The proposed PMC member list now includes:

* Nicola Ken Barozzi
* Stephen McConnell
* Leo Sutic

Cheers, Steve.
