Hey all, I've added the resolution for the Thrift graduation to the Board's agenda (for the meeting on Wednesday).
Brian: I've made some edits from your initial resolution to align it with our standard template. (mostly minor stuff, but added one para about bylaws/particiption). Where did you copy your original from before search/replace? I'd like to fix that source material. I note that Upayavira has been added. This is good; as Joe noted, having one or more Members on the PMC is a Good Thing. I would offer, too, but my contribution level ended up to be much less than I expected. My original interest was to bring Thrift into Subversion. That project got back-burnered a long while ago as we narrowed our features to get 1.7 out in any kind of timely fashion :-P So, I'll continue to subscribe to private@ and dev@ as a "helpful Member", but I don't think it would be right to ask for a voting spot on the PMC.
