So ... I have been staying out of this conversation rather intentionally for a number of reasons, but I feel I must speak up here. YOU MUST NOT reach out to ANYONE on behalf of the Apache Software Foundation without coordinating with M&P. Without their approval, you are NOT authorized to speak on behalf of the ASF, or put yourself in a position where it appears that you are doing so. Please forgive if I am coming across stronger than warranted here, but this is a line that you MUST NOT cross without the approval of M&P. Thanks. --Rich, with Board of Directors hat on. > I’m going to try to remain impartial in order to facilitate.
