All right, let's get specific: I propose that Hagar Delest be invited to become a Committer and PPMC Member. As soon after midnight Thursday, 2012-02-23T24:00Z that this discussion quiets, I will review the discussion and determine whether there is sufficient consensus to undertake a [VOTE].
Hagar is well-known as a long-standing senior moderator of the OpenOffice Community Forums. He is occasionally visible on ooo-dev (although a number of forum folk are uncomfortable with mailing-list systems, ooo-dev in particular). He has been involved in the development of two Apache OpenOffice blog posts on the Forums, including the one that he drafted for the New Year Status. He will invariably show up at some point in any public discussion related to the forums. His previous commitment and level of activity from the hands-off Sun/Oracle period has continued undiminished since the arrangement to have ASF custodianship of the Community Forums. In the course of that transition, and despite his misgivings, he was a source of stability and continues to be an individual that others look to for leadership. - Dennis
