[RESULT][VOTE] Struts as an Apache Top Level Project
The response to this vote has been unanimous, with all proposed PMC
members responding except for two: Arron Bates and Don Brown. I have
attempted to ping those two directly, but have not yet heard back.
The next board meeting is March 17th, which is next Wednesday. I propose
to submit our resolution this weekend, for consideration at that meeting.
In the absence of responses from Arron and Don before then, I will remove
their names from both lists. They will, of course, be welcome to join the
PMC at a later time.
If anyone has any objections to the above plan, please speak up now.

Not at all. I won't be sending the proposal to the board until the
weekend, so now that you've responded, you're in. :-)

Ooops, just missed it. :)
No worries. Due to life, I've been conspicuous in my absence, and probably
wouldn't be a ripple in the PMC decision making anyways. Just as long as I can
maintain commit status to support nested tag coders I'm happy. :)
If things change and I get more play time, then I'll knock on the PMC door as
required.
Cheers,
Arron.
