[ANNOUNCE] Brian Minchau is resinging as Apache Xalan PMC chairperson
I have been chairperson of Apache Xalan since about October of 2004. Four
years and a few months. I'm sad to say that I must resign as chairperson of
the project.
I have started a leave of absence from my work of still undetermined
duration, because of health reasons. At this time, it would be prudent to
hand over chairmanship of Apache Xalan. Therefore, I'm obliged to resign
from this position effective immediately. I trust that the other members of
the Xalan PMC will work with the Board to find a replacement as
expeditiously as possible.
I'm staying as a PMC member for now, but I'm afraid I can't drive the
choice of a replacement.

I'd like to extend my belated personal thanks to Brian for all the work he
did as the chair of the Xalan project, and more so as a contributor and
committer, most significant of which was a rewrite of the Xalan serializer
that both the Xalan-J interpreter and XSLTC processors use, and which the
Xerces project uses for the DOM L3 Save support in Xerces-J.
But it seems Brian's trust may have been a bit misplaced, as the PMC
hasn't acted very quickly to elect a new chair. I'd like to make amends
for that by calling for a vote on a new PMC chair, to close 25 February,
2008. According to section 5.6 of the Xalan Charter,[1] the PMC elects a
chair from within its own ranks by a simple majority. Anyone on the PMC
should feel free to vote for any PMC member, including himself or herself.
Committers and contributors are welcome to express their views, but only
the votes of PMC members will be counted. Here are the names of all the
Xalan PMC members:
John Gentilin
Christine Li
Ramesh Mandava

I'd like to open the voting by casting a +1 vote for David Bertoni for
chair of the Xalan PMC. David has long been the primary contributor on
the Xalan-C processor, and has often gotten involved in discussion in the
Xalan-Java side of things as well. David has also been a member of the
Xalan PMC since September 2007. As such, I think he'd make an excellent
PMC chair.
Thanks,
Henry

I'd like to extend my belated personal thanks to Brian for all the work he
did as the chair of the Xalan project, and more so as a contributor and
committer, most significant of which was a rewrite of the Xalan serializer
that both the Xalan-J interpreter and XSLTC processors use, and which the
Xerces project uses for the DOM L3 Save support in Xerces-J.
But it seems Brian's trust may have been a bit misplaced, as the PMC
hasn't acted very quickly to elect a new chair. I'd like to make amends
for that by calling for a vote on a new PMC chair, to close 25 February,
2008. According to section 5.6 of the Xalan Charter,[1] the PMC elects a
chair from within its own ranks by a simple majority. Anyone on the PMC
should feel free to vote for any PMC member, including himself or herself.
Committers and contributors are welcome to express their views, but only
the votes of PMC members will be counted. Here are the names of all the
Xalan PMC members:

I'd like to open the voting by casting a +1 vote for David Bertoni for
chair of the Xalan PMC. David has long been the primary contributor on
the Xalan-C processor, and has often gotten involved in discussion in the
Xalan-Java side of things as well. David has also been a member of the
Xalan PMC since September 2007. As such, I think he'd make an excellent
PMC chair.
