Hi all,
Today, the newly-elected Board met for the first time. After we got
done with our regular series of project reviews and other reports, we
elected a new slate of executive officers. I'm happy to present that
list:
Jim Jagielski, Chairman
Justin Erenkrantz, President
J Aaron Farr, Treasurer
Sam Ruby, Exec VP and Secretary
Welcome guys to your new offices!
We also established new three projects:
* Apache Quetzalcoatl: this springs mod_python and related bits out of
the HTTPD project into its own TLP. Gregory Trubetskoy is its Chair.
* Apache Wicket: this is a light webapp framework for Java, graduating
from the Incubator into its own TLP. Martijn Dashorst is the new
Chair.
* Apache Commons: this is the venerable Apache Jakarta Commons, now
spun out into its own TLP, with Torsten Curdt as its Chair.
Finally, we swapped a couple PMC Chairs:
* Will Glass-Hussin replaces Henning Schmiedehausen as the Velocity
Chair
* David Sean Taylor replaces Santiago Gala as the Portals Chair
That's it for this month. Please feel free to forward this to any
public/private forum as you see fit. If you have any questions, then
please don't hesitate to ask myself or any other Director or officer.
Cheers,

We would like to congratulate all Wicket community members with this
remarkable feat, we couldn't have done this without you!
Furthermore, I like to thank the Board of the Apache Software
Foundation for the trust they invested in us. We will not disappoint!
We would like to thank Wicket's mentors:
* Alex Karasulu (whose birthday coincidentally is today… what a better
gift could you receive). Thanks for bringing us on board, and a Happy
Birthday!!!
* Upayavira, who made the transition even run smoother than thought
possible. Thanks for guiding us and I hope you'll stay for a long time
with our project!
* Bertrand Delacretaz, thank you for your help, votes and advise. We
will miss your involvement, but will certainly see you in the future!
* Sylvain Wallez, also big thanks for helping and guiding us. I hope
Wicket is still working within Joost
Finally, congratulations to the new officers, PMC Chairs and the other
two new projects: Apache Quetzalcoatl and Apache Commons! Welcome to
the club!
!!! Champagne !!!
