Folks,
I am going to make the following proposal at gene...@hadoop.apache.org
In summary this proposal does the following things:
1. Establishes the PMC as comprising of the current committers of Hive (as of
today - 8/24/2010).
2. Proposes Namit Jain to the chair of the project (PMC chairs have no more
power than other PMC members, but they are responsible for writing regular
reports for the Apache board, assigning rights to new committers, etc.)
3. Tasks the PMC to come up with the bylaws for governance of the project.
Please vote on this as soon as possible(yes I should have done this as part of
the earlier vote, but please bear with me), so that we can get the ball rolling
on this...
Thanks,
Ashish
