Here's a draft board resolution (not a vote, just discussion). It lists all
current committers (except as noted in the next paragraph) as the initial
members of the project management committee (PMC) and myself as the initial
chair.
Notice that I have left Andrew off the PMC as he has not been active with
the project for over two years. I believe we should continue to include him
on the committer roles subsequent to moving to tlp, however as he has not
been an active member of the community for such a long period we would not
include him on the PMC at this time. If others feel differently let me know,
I'm willing to include him if the people feel differently.
LMK if this looks good to you and I'll call for an official vote on this
list (then we'll be ready to call a vote on the hadoop pmc).
Regards,
Patrick
