Thank you Gian and Julian and also the Druid PMC for electing me as the new chair. Echoing what Julian said, Gian has done an excellent job as PMC chair, helping Apache Druid get to this stage of maturity. Thank you for your service.
While to anyone outside PMC, the details are not visible, this process of electing chair involves PMC members nominating and voting for themselves or other PMC members. We intend to repeat this process every year. Thank you again.
