Well, yes I got that. My problem is that I no longer receive emails from @private. I used to, until about end of March/first week of April. I even sent a bunch of emails to @private. If this is a @private mailing list problem, I'm asking that it be fixed. The ASF instructions about the @private mailing list states "contact your PMC". So, here I am, contacting the stdcxx PMC about @private. I would appreciate an answer. >> 3.

Yes, I think that's how I learned about it too. But I generally don't read Board Minutes, so the fact that I learned about this change was entirely by accident. I also believe that having a sudden PMC Chair change is an important enough event that it warrants an email sent to dev@, announcing the change. A three line email announcing the change isn't really that much to ask of the ASF Board. In my experience, and generally speaking, developers like knowing who is the new Boss. >> 4.

ISTR an email from Farid about some kind of move of the nightly build infrastructure, and some problems with the builds as a result of this move, but I don't remember the details right now. Lastly, I have attached a patch for stdcxx-1058. I'd appreciate a review, so I can commit the fix. I have a bunch of more fixes and patches, but given that everyone is busy, I'd rather submit the patches one by one, instead of carpet bombing.
