​I have to second your nomination, I know your work and I know that you are
very focused on improving the open source community. Also that you are very
invested with communities beyond the OpenOffice one, and have helped in
infra for Apache. You are more than qualified to be n the PMC since you
have a great deal of knowledge on how Apache as a whole works. I do however
want to turn this into a question, what makes you go deeper into OpenOffice
and if you will have enough time to complete whatever task you will take
upon. However this is not to challenge your nomination just make sure that
there is a plan and vision with having this position.​
