The Board had nothing to do with the closure. The "outgoing chair" tried for a long time to resolve it by other changes. The fact is that you decided that your vision was more important than the community's vision, and proceeded to engineer consensus by attrition, both within the community and within the PMC, including asking both myself and another PMC member to resign. Despite that, I continued to work to keep Merlin at the ASF, as did at least one Director who had offered to personally mentor the project. You were not willing to accept any proposals, and prefered to remove Merlin elsewhere. Aaron is right to thank all of those who put blood, sweat and tears into Avalon. > Irrespective of the above obstacles a real and tangible alternative to > ASF continues under http://www.dpml.net.

In other words, you make the rules and run the show. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
