Could you take account of voter turnout for the PPMC?
And take the sampling error into account for the others?

This is not a poll or sampling of some large population. This is a vote
amongst the Podling Project Management Committee members of the Apache
OpenOffice (Incubating) podling. Only PPMC votes are binding.
The fact that we allow other, non-PPMC members to express opinions or
cast +1/-1 votes in no way means that we're attempting an accurate
sample of all users. Only the votes of PPMC members count towards the
actual decisions.
This is a critical point to understand about how Apache projects are
run. While we appreciate feedback, suggestions, and contributions from
all of our users, the individuals who have shown merit on the project
and have officially been voted in as committers or PPMC members are the
ones who make final decisions on the project.

If those figures are relatively inadequate, please consider what we can
be for more appropriate ways to get an actual result.
In general, with less than 100 votes, we cannot estimate whole
population because of large error.

Looks like an overall majority for Apache OpenOffice.
