Hi Matei, One thing I noticed that you did was to drop the mentors and Champion off of the PMC constituency. While I don't personally take any offense to that, I think you will want to keep at least a few of your mentors around that are ASF members. This has the dual benefit of:
1. Making sure that Apache Spark has a shot at getting members elected at the next members meeting (which would be tough unless you had some mentors who knew what was going on in the project -- not impossible but tough) 2. Helping and hanging around with any Apache way stuff Up to you but I thought I'd raise the point.
