Thanks Ross. That's what I was trying to say, just didn't put it as elegantly as you. Dennis, I get what you're saying and no worries, I'm not saying anyone should be an "auto-elect" based on political motivations, or based on how loud they scream. What you'll find over time in the ASF is that "those who do, decide". I haven't seen a PMC chair (aka eventual VP of a project) get elected so far that didn't "do" in some way, and that was merely appointed as a political thing. Not to say that it couldn't happen, I just haven't seen it.
