| One of my goals for this quarter is to update the Technology
    Top-Level Project's charter. This is way overdue. 
 If we're to do this, then we need to get a revision ready for the
    board meeting in March. The deadline to provide materials for the
    March board meeting is February 29th. I think that we can meet this
    deadline, but we need to get moving.
 
 I would like to focus on making the charter align with reality. If
    we want to debate the direction that we'd like to move the
    Technology Top Level project, I recommend that we start that
    discussion in parallel and plan to bring another revision to the
    board at some later date.
 
 I've created a new "Charter" category in our Bugzilla and have
    opened a bug [1] to serve as an umbrella for issues related to the
    revision.
 
 I will ask the webmaster to set up the /technology website source in
    Gerrit so that we can use Gerrit review. I'll create a branch for
    the revision work.
 
 PMC Members: it would be very good to have you engaged in this
    conversation. Please configure your Bugzilla preferences to copied
    on messages sent to technology.pmc-inbox@xxxxxxxxxxx.
 
 For reference, the current charter is here:

 My first revision (which I won't bother to pass through code review)
    will strip out all the horrible, horrible MS Word markup.
 
 Thanks!
 
 Wayne
