As discussed here and on the incubator list last week, it's time for the
Kafka community to look towards graduation from Incubator.  This requires a
resolution, which I've drafted below (ie, filled in the blanks for the
boilerplate text).  If this looks reasonable, we can move on to a vote for
the resolution, which will then be (or can simultaneously) voted on by the
Incubator.  Any comments? Of note, I've left the PMC as it currently is,
except for dropping Phillip Rhoades, who has never participated in the
project during incubation.  I've not included any of the mentors as I'm not
sure if they're planning to continue to contribute to this project
post-incubator, but if they are, I'm sure they'd be welcome to join the new
PMC.  Thoughts?

    serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the
    Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until
    death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification,
    or until a successor is appointed; and be it further

    RESOLVED, that the initial Apache Kafka PMC be and hereby is
    tasked with the creation of a set of bylaws intended to

Thanks for writing this up Jakob.

There are a number of current comitters who are more worthwhile PMC
choices then myself.  To get the TLP off on the right foot perhaps now
is the time to straighten out how we want comitter vs PMC member to work
there.

I have no plans on staying, I have no bandwidth.

We should make sure the status page is up to date w/ committers, etc.

Thanks for picking this pick, Jacob. I recommend that we add other existing
committers (Joe, Joel, and Prashanth) to the PMC.

Adding Joe, Joel and Prashanth also sounds good to me.  Any objections for
anyone who's not chimed in yet?

OK, everybody's good to go.  I'll add the new three new committers in the
text to be VOTED on and call the vote soon.  Before that, though, there's
still some paperwork to be as part of Incubator:
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/kafka.html

We need one of the mentors (I believe) to fill in the boxes for verifying
distribution rights and copyright.  I believe they are good to go, should a
mentor take a look.  After that I'll cale the VOTE.
