Hi all, This project has a tradition of rotating the PMC Chair about every 2 years, to ensure continuity while at the same time preventing potential contributor burn-out.
Recently the PMC has undertaken the necessary actions for this and has found contributor (and PMC Member) Shawn McKinney willing and ready to take the gavel from Stefan Seelmann to head our great project, and the Board of the ASF has, in their meeting on Jan 16th 2019 (see [1], ratified the rotation. Please join me in thanking Stefan Seelmann for heading the project in 2017 and 2018 and welcoming Shawn McKinney as the new PMC Chair and Vice President of the Apache Directory project.
