Congratulations to Sander.
Much much more so: congratulations to everybody who slaved away on the new license for all these many years.
Thank you!

Happy New Year!
The Board met last Wednesday for its regular, monthly meeting. Since the
official board minutes will still need to be drafted, approved, and posted
to the web site, I am writing this email to give a brief summary of the
actions we took. Since this has an affect on all committers at the ASF,
you are receiving this email.
In summary:
* The Board has approved the new Apache License 2.0. For a copy of that
license, please see http://www.apache.org/licenses/.
The Board has also mandated that all ASF software must be switched to
the new license by March 1st, 2004. Please watch this space for
further instructions on how to "use" the new license.
* Last November, Roy Fielding resigned his position as a Director of the
ASF in order to have more time to "get real work done". Thus, we had a
vacancy on the Board which needed to be filled. The Board appointed
Sander Striker to fill that seat until the next ASF Members Meeting to
be held sometime around June; the Members will elect a new Board at
that time.
Thanks for all your efforts Roy, and welcome to the Board, Sander!
* The Board appointed J. Aaron Farr as the new Chair of the Apache
Avalon Project, replacing Berin Loritsch. Berin has been very helpful
in getting the Avalon project moving along, but wanted a bit more free
time. Aaron is a relative newcomer to the Avalon project, so we hope
he can bring some fresh energy to Avalon. Welcome!
Please follow up to community@apache.org with any discussion. Also, please
feel free to send myself (or any other ASF officer) email if you have
comments, questions, or concerns.
Cheers, -g
