Fwd: board: r25270 - /foundation/board/board_agenda_2010_10_20.txt

Hey all,

I've added the resolution for the Thrift graduation to the Board's
agenda (for the meeting on Wednesday).

Brian: I've made some edits from your initial resolution to align it
with our standard template. (mostly minor stuff, but added one para
about bylaws/particiption). Where did you copy your original from
before search/replace? I'd like to fix that source material.

I note that Upayavira has been added. This is good; as Joe noted,
having one or more Members on the PMC is a Good Thing. I would offer,
too, but my contribution level ended up to be much less than I
expected. My original interest was to bring Thrift into Subversion.
That project got back-burnered a long while ago as we narrowed our
features to get 1.7 out in any kind of timely fashion :-P  So, I'll
continue to subscribe to private@ and dev@ as a "helpful Member", but
I don't think it would be right to ask for a voting spot on the PMC.

Cheers,
-g
