Hi Noel, If the ActiveMQ / ServiceMix community do decide to go under some other TLP, I'm sure it would not take long for the active participants of the community to asked to Join the TLP's PMC. It would behoove that PMC to include such active community participants in the decision making proccess.
Furthermore, I believe that merging ActiveMQ and Servicemix into Geronimo community and PMC is easier than most cases since there are all ready several active ActiveMQ/ServiceMix commiters thar are Geronimo PMC members. Those PMC memebers can help propose and vouch for additional commiters to join the PMC. Regards, Hiram On 3/15/06, Noel J. Bergman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ken wrote: > > Noel J.
