The resolution is mostly boilerplate, but the community must decide
several things which have bearing on the resolution:
* The composition of the new PMC
* The proposed PMC chairman
For the PMC, I propose that all current committers become PMC members
when the project graduates. I also propose we adopt the "committer ==
PMC member" model after graduation, as given the number of active
developers, it makes little sense to maintain that artificial barrier. I
also propose you invite the mentors onto the PMC.
N.B., Subversion has the concept of "partial committer", i.e., a
contributor with ASF committer status but whose commit rights are
restricted to a branch or a specific area of the code (this restriction
is not enforced via access control). It's IMO too early to complicate
matters on this project by emulating this practice.
Yup. All sounds good.
Yes, I agree with all that.
Regarding the PMC chair, given that a TLP no longer has mentors, it's
usually a good idea at least initially to give the funny hat to someone
who has a bit more mileage with the ASF. But that's by no means a
requirement. All the PMC chair really does is submit reports to the board.
I think that I just heard a nomination for Brane to be PMC chair :-P
Seriously, though... this isn't much of a rule. Most VPs are not ASF
Members. I look at them more as "liaisons", and the parameters/needs
of that role are fairly easy to learn. So in that sense, any of the
existing PPMC members can be a candidate.
A quick look at the guidelines do not suggest that anything in
particular needs to be restricted to the private list but I will be
happy to accept advice on that.
I see no reason to keep anything private, except for the actual
invitations to the PMC, which I believe should remain private (i.e., on
the private list) (Greg, I'd appreciate your insight on that topic).
I don't see anything that needs to be private right now.
(post-graduation: yeah, "people discussions" ought to remain private;
e.g. committer/PMC invitations)
We can take all current BH committers and put them onto the PMC
roster. Individuals can remove themselves.
In which case shall we skip the invitation to mentors, put them all on
the PMC and let them remove themselves if they wish? Just to speed
things along!
If somebody has a desire to be the Chair, then I would recommend they
self-nominate. If we get more than one, then we discuss that on
-private.

Well, I am prepared to take it on and, equally, I would be prepared to
stand down if there are others who desire it more. I am not sure that
desire is exactly the right word here anyway.
Cheers,
