Hi Uwe,

Sure 8-)

Thanks a lot to Michel Sutter and Apple, for all the help we received
from them !

Well ... Thanks a lot for your proposal, I really appreciate what happens.

Indeed, I confirm I'm candidate.


> Some more ideas of who shall represent the community there?


To avoid misunderstanding, I'm only candidate, and waiting, let me
nominate other developers from the Community who did a great work for
the Aqua port

1) Florian Heckl, present since the begining, and who implemented a lot of
things for Aqua port ( filepicker, spotlight and quicklook plugins ...and more
)

2) Mickael Sicotte, who implemented the QuickTime player, and the Spell checker
.. etc

3) Pavel Janik too did a lot for Mac port, and desserves to be nominated too.

Unfortunaly, I know some cannot attend (Florian and Pavel confirmed me
already), but they really desserve to be listed !

Agreed.

(written request is on the way) from OpenOffice.org

Good idea too !

account.

Great :-)

Message received. I'll write a call for donation on my blog, and give
all informations.
