Can you also detail who was removed? Can you also explain why this hasn't been communicated to everyone on the dev list so far? And why I have only heard about the final decision third hand from this email and an offhand mention in Bo's email? I am OK with the PMC's authority as thats what I signed up for at Apache, but I feel that if they make such an important decision as this they should at least communicate the above. - Dan Jim Jagielski wrote: > Without discussing anything regarding the initial list > and who should or should not have been on it, it needs > to be reminded that the bar to committership for Incubator > podlings is necessarily a bit lower than for real > PMCs.
