Bertrand, this is fantastic. I’m more than happy to assist w/ a strategy, approach, prep and board preso.
Something that is worth mentioning up front is that whatever the outcome, there are going to be protractors and detractors. Unanimous support is challenging to achieve, and quite rare. Whatever the outcome, we have to be prepared to “disagree and commit” (i.e. support the majority even if the outcome isn’t specifically what we had hoped for). There are many possibilities from no change to wholesale rebranding (even some we haven’t thought of). The cool thing about change is that as long as we remain open to it, changes today don’t stop us from making more changes tomorrow!

I think that would be very useful, helping us hear from leaders who have standing in the cause. Note that this was discussed earlier at [1] which has an initial list of Apache Nations that could be contacted. Access restricted to ASF members as the page contains contact information. If a team of ASF members wants to make this happen, I'm willing to bring the topic to the Board and would support giving that team an official status to help them do that outreach. Next step would be for you and other interested Members to form a team and present their action plan to the Board. -Bertrand [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ASFP/Outreach+to+the+Apache+Nations --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
