[Psc] Auto-discard notification

[Andreas Hocevar]

All good points Till. Since I haven’t been active in GeoExt at all for a while, I propose that I step down from the PSC, and instead we add Christian Mayer to the PSC. Christian has been very active in developing and promoting GeoExt for a long time.

I’ll start with my +1.

Andreas.

This does not obligatory mean, that we will not follow other movements such as Angular or Ember or s.th. similar. But for now we have some customers with long-term contracts having a real interest in further development of GeoExt.

So I would like you to open the doors for further development and let you think about nominating Christian for joining PSC.
