Thanks. Roy makes some good points. But I'm not sure how they apply here. I think we agreed last time that we'd like to see some more participation from people outside of WSO2, as this would show that the project was attracting outside interest. It would also help to demonstrate, assuming things were going well, that the project was able to govern itself functionally as an Apache project (where project independence is of vital importance).
"Taking next step and encouraging the active CoPDoC (taking from Forest link below) and recruitin non-WSO2 folks to PPMC will certainly make a big statement and make every one be more comfortable." Has this aggressive recruitment of new contributors happened?
