Yes Andre, my hat is in the ring for the position of Project Manager.
Something needs to be done.
Did you get the CV ok?
No, as attachements would be filtered out here at the list.
But it's not necessary ATM. We should not become headless. As said, we
have rules for electing project leads ( see
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/guidelines.html beneath "Project
leads"). And we still have two leads (who should have the chance to
comment on this thread .. btw. .. I didn't know, both are on vacation
and it was not my intention to "misuse" that.)
Heh I think that fact is an indicator of the issue. It doesn't take
much to drop a note to the list so it was probably considered very low
on the priority scale.
Meanwhile .. Joost's suggestion seems to be the most reasonable. Let's
put together what should be done. And .. well .. the bazar model
doesn't work that bad (but I still think, we could do it better).
Agreed, however it is a factor of the structure of OOo (or any FLOSS
project working alongside a commercial organisation for that matter) in
that we have a Bazaar working in parallel with Cathedral builders and I
don't think any of the other OOo projects are quite as close to the
Cathedral building side of OOo as is qa and perhaps that rubs off a bit.
We need to loose the idea that changing the leadership of a project is a
negative thing. It isn't, it's a sign of the dynamism of the bazaar
model of FLOSS. Scott and Michael have done a great job and the project
should say thanks for that, it's time to give someone else the chance to
make their mark. Stability in leadership is overrated, it is the team
or the collective bazaar that make things happen because as you rightly
point out there are any number of people in the project that can handle
the reins.
cheers
