Hi,
Below is a draft of our TLP proposal. The format is fairly standard, copied
from other recent TLP promotions. (You can see those in ASF Board meeting
minutes).
I've added all currently active committers to the initial PMC. If I've
missed anyone, please let me know.
Part of the proposal is the initial PMC Chairman. I'd like to put myself up
as a candidate, and if anyone else is interested, now's the time to speak
up. This is a rotating term anyways, so anyone interested who sticks around
long enough will get a chance to wear the hat.
Once we agree on the draft phrasing, we'll have an actual vote. I believe
that actually takes place on [EMAIL PROTECTED] rather than tomcat-dev? Are
there
any active Tomcat committers who are not Jakarta PMC members? If I were to
guess, maybe Peter anyone else as new?
