Discussion - re misconception of the role of PMC. Many people talk about 'the PMC should do something about....' or ' why hasnt the PMC put together a roadmap etc..' but it is the community that controls the direction of the project. Main role of PMC is to manage the release process, vote for committers / pmc members, handle security issues and manage the project brand. All other areas are community driven. PMC can take a more active role in other areas - but the community need to agree that they want the PMC to do this.

The community dont always realise or understand that PMC members mainly participate on the mailing lists as individuals and OFBiz contributors (and not as PMC members). The main area where being a PMC role is used or acknowledged is a formal vote. Individual PMC members (wearing the hat of an OFBiz contributor / committer and not as a PMC member) can and are encouraged to work / support other areas.
