Hi Christoph, all,

Hi everyone!
André, thank you very much for your trust to nominate me. To make it
short: I'm happy to say that I agree.
Great to read this - there are few people I know with your aptitudes in
the OOo project.
I really believe in the whole
community - and would like to contribute my part to it.
You have already shown your dedication to the community - if anybody
here didn't know:
As co-lead of the UX project he's is a binding link
between the people at Sun and people inside and outside the community.
Even for people, who comment quite harsh on the Renaissance work.

I know Christoph as a person, who is able to find and communicate
compromises in such situations - a very useful character trait for
a council member.
Being polite and clear at the same time he managed to invite some of the
main critics to the project's lists, where their fears are heard and
compromises are searched (and found).
One additional point: As "spare time volunteer" he is not involved in
any hierarchy or internal decision processes at Sun. But in his position
as UX co-lead he has personal connections to a quite a number of people
at Sun involved in implementing modifications and improvements in
OpenOffice.org.
He is respected from developers as well as from members of other
community areas as a person finding solutions in difficult discussions,
calm down and integrate where opposite ideas might separate people from
each other.
In my eyes a "Product Development Representative" should not only be
involved in product development but have a broader look over the product
and the way it should be developed in future. Christoph seems to be the
perfect choice for me: Besides his communication and moderation skills
he doesn't only combine the developer's and the other community member's
view as User Experience expert, but knows better than most of us what
our user do with our product and where it should be improved.
So I'm very glad to see this nomination.

Maybe other people would like to exchange some more words.
I did - hopefully not too much ;-)
Best regards
Bernhard
