- Read the complete guide on duties of a PMC Chair.
- While any PMC member can handle some PMC updates, in some cases only the Chair may have permissions to make roster updates.
- PMC Chairs are Vice Presidents / officers of the ASF, although you will rarely use the title.
- Chairs may attend monthly Board meetings, and many Chairs have found it useful to see how Board meetings work.
- You may want to checkout review these private repositories that have for more information about the Board, reporting, and PMC governance, using these recommended command line steps:. These directories are private to ASF officers and ASF Members only, so do not share this information elsewhere. You can use Subversion to checkout the directories below, or simply use your browser to login with your ASF credentials and view files.
- svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/foundation/officers
svn co - data files and some tools about ICLAs and other records. - https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/foundation/board - current and past Board meeting agenda files (see also: Board Minutes).
- foundation-board
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/board committers - official board calendar and PMC committee-info.txt listings.

How To Update affiliations.txt
All newly appointed officers or directors need to update the affiliations.txt file by adding one line about themselves to the end of the file, following the format defined in the top of the text file. If you've checked out the foundation/officers repository, simply edit and checkin the file there. If you still need to checkout the directory to edit, you can do this:
svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/foundation/officers --depth files
cd officers
(edit affiliations.txt to add your line)svn commit affiliations.txt -m "Add my affiliations for new PMC role"
