Here’s a
statement from the Apache Software Foundation regarding changes in its
leadership: “It is with a mix of sadness and appreciation that the
ASF Board accepted the resignations of Board Member Jim Jagielski, Chairman
Phil Steitz, and Executive Vice President Ross Gardler last month.”
There is no indication of why all these people decided to leave at the same
time.
