Re: ok, I'll run for president

Don't add me as a president as I really want to be a board member, however, I gotta say that I am glad that you have decided to run for president ... finally ;-) Good choice! On 4/9/07, Gregory Beaver <greg@chiaraquartet.net> wrote:

Hi all, I've added my name to the list of candidates for president. We need more people to take the plunge. The president of PEAR is responsible for approving/vetoing PEAR Group decisions, but is primarily responsible for being an ambassador of PEAR to the outside world. As president, it would be your responsibility to talk to members of the PHP group and make sure things are smooth with integrating PEAR and PHP internals. As well, you would be responsible for "press releases" of important changes. You would be responsible for talking to other projects similar to PEAR like Zend Framework, Cake, Symfony, [paste your favorite PHP thing here] and maybe even to similar structures like Fedora project, CPAN, Rails, you name it. Why talk to other projects? Perhaps there are ways we can work together, perhaps new ideas can filter into PEAR, you name it. You will be the "spriritual leader of PEAR" who helps to guide the "feeling" of working in PEAR, what kind of developers PEAR should attract, what kind of software is desired, etc. You will also work closely with the PEAR group to help decide things like this. If this sounds interesting, reply to this message and I'll add you to the list of candidates. Voting starts in 12 days, and then the election commences.
