Hi,
For the past year, I have been representing PEAR as its president, but
decided not to seek re-election in order to pursue more heavily
development on phar and pyrus. As of today, we finished our second set
of elections, and I'm happy to announce that David Coallier will be
taking my place as president, so if there are issues that affect PHP
core that involve PEAR, you should contact David, and if decisions in
the PHP core affect PEAR, expect to hear from David :). The role of
president in the PEAR organization is more of an ambassadorial than
dictatorial role, and the president is the primary spokesperson and
"spiritual leader" of the organization. Also elected was a combination
of new and old members for the PEAR Group, but that group is strictly
empowered to decide things internal to PEAR, so you all probably don't
care much :).
He can be reached through the email alias president@pear.php.net (as
soon as the alias is updated) or through pear-group@php.net (which will
also go to all of the newly elected PEAR group members).
For those interested, here are the official results:

Thanks,
Greg
