Re: [Xen-API] [PATCH v5 0/3] Significant changes to Xen Project Governance (governance.html) - COMMITTERS PLEASE VOTE ON THE PROPOSAL

[Lars Kurth <lars.kurth.xen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

that is now live at https://xenproject.org/governance.html and committed (with 
manually beautified html to make tables look good) at 
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/larsk/governance.git;a=summary

At some point probably a blog post is in order, but am too busy right now

Regards
Lars
