thanks for this info, it shows that the approach was not so wrong and we had no real need for this additional option. I am looking forward to Andrew's summary and from my perspective we should already start thinking what will be next? This approach as one of many possible approaches to create a PMC list will have brought us to a list of names. A list of names where the majority can live with of better which the majority want to have in a PMC. I believe that this list would be similar to any other outcome of any other approach we would have taken and I think we should take it. We have made clear several times that the PMC will grow over time and that the initial PMC is only a start. One possible way to move forward is 1. once we have the collected list, we will ask everybody if she/he is interested to become a final PMC member or not. We should take known vacation times into account. 2. As result if 1. we will have a PMC list where we can start with for the graduation. 3. Start thinking of a good candidate for the PMC chair. Probably somebody of the list but not necessarily. I would accept any other nomination but that is probably unlikely. 4. Start voting on the PMC chair 5. Finalize (enhance, complete, ...) our Graduation Resolution [1] This can be done in parallel if we think something important is missing or should be added. 6. Continue with the graduation. 7. Keep it simply and don't make it to complicate. Regarding 6. I think we have successfully voted on the graduation already and I believe that we should continue on this. We received feedback and concerns from our mentors and are working on these stuff. But this is ongoing and not really easy to measure because it was not really detailed and more general. The best way to demonstrate that we are ready is to continue and move forward things that we have to do anyway and that will help us on different levels. And one of this is graduation! If still anybody has serious concerns that we should not graduate I would require that it is put on the table *NOW* and here on the public list that everybody can see it. And we should require that potential concerns are detailed enough that we can work on it. Everything else is wasted time from my point of view. So let us move forward together Juergen [1 https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Graduation+Resolution+%28draft%29 > > Sent from my tablet > On Sep 19, 2012 12:00 AM, "Andrew Rist" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> (top posting after private messages - I cannot describe the shame I >> feel... ;-) >> >> I have an option that I believe will handle Andrea's concerns.
