Reviewing the June report I have this to offer for September: A. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
This says there were 13 new Committers/PPMC members and 2 committer/PPMC member resignations. I don't track resignations, and I think it is best to show the baseline (or resulting levels) of those changes. I am assuming that my June 5, 2012 Status was the basis for the numbers in the June 8 report to the IPMC and Board. Comparing that with the report from yesterday, I would say that "There are now 110 committers with 72 of those on the PPMC. Relative to the last report, that is an increase of 15 committers and a decrease of 3 committers on the PPMC (following an audit to reconcile subscribers to the ooo-private mailing list)." Now the numbers are grounded and the baseline here makes the derivation of details in a further report easy to substantiate. B. A DIFFERENT OVERSIGHT It is stunning that of all the matters that it might be thought the Board might need to be aware of (whether or not called to act on) the only one I've ever noticed is the June statement about leaks from the ooo-private list to "outside agencies". Along with that June issue, there is our promise to provide an update in the next report (this one in September 2012) or at least indicate that an update was provided separately. The current draft simply removes any evidence that this issue was raised. I suggest that there needs to be accountability and closure on our part. I paid little attention to that issue. I would suggest that the single leak was identified and the matter has been closed to the satisfaction of the PPMC. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Dave Fisher [mailto:dave2w...@comcast.net] Sent: Monday, September 03, 2012 18:16 To: dennis.hamil...@acm.org Cc: OOo-dev Apache Incubator Subject: Re: board report for Sept. 20, 2012 On Sep 3, 2012, at 5:24 PM, Dennis E.
