Thanks for the nomination, Roman. And thanks for support from Seshu and Luke.
I am trying my best to help projects coming to Apache incubator to understand the Apache way and be prepared to be active and healthy top level project. However, after working with Ted in several podlings, I would love to throw my VOTE for him, if he accept the nominations. Like Marvin said in his reply, Ted is politically adept and have a lot of experience to handle the challenges of interfacing with the Board and with outside organizations, which very crucial for working in VP of incubator. - Henry On Mon, Jan 26, 2015 at 10:45 AM, Roman Shaposhnik <r...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi! > > after making sure that there's still an Incubator > to be managed for the next 6-12 months, I'd like > to open up a discussion thread on soliciting > nominations for the next IPMC Chair. > > Feel free to self-nominate or nominate folks who > you know.
