Ant is typical of Apache projects in that it operates under a set of principles, |

known as the Apache Way. If you are new to Apache, please refer to the |

The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Ant was created by a resolution of the |
|
|
|
board of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF)on 18th Novembr 2002. The PMC is responsible |
|
|
|
to the board and the ASF for the management and oversight of the Apache Ant codebase. |
|
|
|
The responsibilites of the PMC include |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
<li>Deciding what is distributed as products of the Apache Ant project. In particular |
|
|
|
all releases must be approved by the PMC |
|
|
|
</li> |
|
|
|
<li>Maintaining the project's shared resources, including the codebase respository, |
|
|
|
mailing lists, websites. |
|
|
|
</li> |
|
|
|
<li>Speaking on behalf of the project. |
|
|
|
</li> |
|
|
|
<li>Resolving license disputes regarding products of the project |
|
|
|
</li> |
|
|
|
<li>Nominating new PMC members and committers |
|
|
|
</li> |
|
|
|
<li>Maintaining these bylaws and other guidelines of the project |
|
|
|
</li> |
|
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Membership of the PMC is by invitation only and must be approved by a consensus of active PMC members. |
|
|
|
A PMC member is considered inactive by their own declaration of by not contributing in any form to the |
|
|
|
project for over six months. An inactive member can become active again by reversing whichever condition |
|
|
|
made them inactive (i.e., by reversing their earlier declaration or by once again contributing toward the |
|
|
|
project's work). Membership can be revoked by a unanimous vote of all the active PMC members other |
|
|
|
than the member in question. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
The chair of the PMC is appointed by the ASF board. The chair is an office holder of the Apache |
|
|
|
Software Foundation (Vice President, Apache Ant) and has primary responsibility to the board for the |
|
|
|
management of the projects within the scope of the Ant PMC. The chair reports to the board quarterly |
|
|
|
on developments within the Ant project. The PMC may consider the position of PMC chair annually |
|
|
|
and if supported by 3/4 Majority may recommend a new chair to the board. Ultimately, however, it is |
|
|
|
the board's responsibility who to appoint as the PMC chair. |
