Hello Cordova community. To this point I've served as the chair for the Cordova PMC.
The duties of chair are solely administrative: board reports, and book keeping of committer nominations. Some projects at Apache have more formal incantations. We have, so far, preferred to maintain our lightweight approach meaning a committer is a PMC member too. This involves sending an email, updating a text file in SVN, and running a few perl scripts on http://people.apache.org. Keeping those books is important if some day there is a dispute to the veracity of our source. In evaluation of my current workload these additional book keeping responsibilities are not appropriate for me to prioritize and that is not fair to Cordova. I'm going to step down as chair for Cordova and I would like to nominate Shazron Abdullha to take on the role. Shaz has been with the project since before it was called Cordova. He lands more code than most, interacts directly with the community more than anyone, and is committed to work on Cordova solely full time. He'll be a better chair than I ever was. I won't be going anywhere and (I hope!) this means I can contribute more code than emails in the future. We can be formal and go to a vote if there is objection or interest in seeing someone else take the admin duties on. Otherwise, I'll aim to shoot the board official notice early next week.
