Hi guys, :-) I would like to make a proposal. I consider that the libreoffice.org website is a resource that can be of strategic importance to TDF and the community. I have a bunch of ideas for further developing it and using it to further the project's aims and interests.
To do that job, I would ask - for a period of 4 months, subsequently renewable on condition of the SC's approval - for complete authority and final veto on all content on the libreoffice.org website. I want to be considered *the boss* of the libreoffice.org website, and my decisions would only be overridden by a majority vote of SC members. Anything short of that, my decision wins. This would give me the necessary authority to try some imaginative and ambitious plans that I will put to Marketing. I would ask for the title of "Executive editor of the libreoffice.org website". The only reason I have for asking for this title is that it gives me a handle to use in relations with outside parties, such as the press. If you feel able to grant me this trust, you can be sure that I will act responsibly and wisely, and that my sole aim will be to advance and protect the interests of the LibreOffice project and community. I believe in teamwork and community-building. I would be keen to listen to and to learn from others, and to take the smartest decisions possible. I would seek to leave behind a positive contribution. Your decision would be sealed by an official vote at the next SC meeting. What do you say, guys? ;-) Can we try this experiment and see what it produces?
