All, I would like to nominate Andy Kurth as the first VCL chair. This is a position that is responsible for the proper operation of the VCL project. Selecting someone for this position is also a necessary step in the process of graduating from incubator status to a top-level Apache project.
For those of you interested in the details, they can be found here: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#tlp-resolution The process is like so: anyone can nominate a person to serve in this role, and these nominations are discussed and voted upon in the community. Based on the consensus from the community, the PPMC (Podling Project Management Committee) makes a recommendation to the ASF Board, which actually appoints the chair. -Aaron Coburn -- Aaron Coburn Systems Administrator and Programmer Academic Technology Services, Amherst College acob...@amherst.edu<mailto:acob...@amherst.edu>
