[ANNOUNCEMENT] Welcome Ralph Goers as the new Apache Logging Chair
Hello all, I was the chair of the Apache Logging Services project for 3 1/2 years. Thank you, it was a great time. But it is time to move on. I think it is critical for ASF projects to let the Chair role rotate. At Logging Services, we agreed to discuss the role each year at the time of the ASF members meeting. We did that. We will continue to do that (at least that's my hope! :)). The PMC discussed who could fill the role of the Logging Chair, and while we have many great people among us, we unanimously voted for Ralph Goers. Ralph wrote the first versions of what became Log4j 2.0. He wrote large parts of it until a fantastic community grew around the project. Without him and his hard work, we would still be stuck on Log4j 1.x times when things didn't look so bright. Ralph is not only an experienced developer but also a great teammate and knows the Apache way in and out. Now I am very happy to say he accepted our vote, and the ASF Board confirmed him in his role, effective immediately. Welcome, Ralph! All the best for your new role, and may the force be with you! Cheers, Christian PS: if you are confused by the terms PMC, Chair or whatever, I'd like to invite you to read the blog I posted when I became chair: http://www.grobmeier.de/hey-i-became-a-vice-president-07072012.html Or the official docs: http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html
