Re: Nominations for a new PMC Chair
Hi I have during the last days had discussions with multiple PMC members, because I am puzzled or even scared about the level of engagement from the PMC in this nomination. As I wrote in my introduction, I need the backing of the PMC to carry out changes. my talks have convinced me that the PMC are unlikely to follow the path I believe in. Please remark I am NOT saying the PMC is following a wrong road, only the future can determine that. Due to a likely conflict (remember I resigned due to this) I can only promise to serve for 2 month and a fast new election is not good for the project. Louis on the other hand seems to be accepted by the PMC and are surely also a person that has experience. I hereby recommend Louis be the new chair. I will continue supporting the project as I have the last couple of years. rgds jan i On Sunday, January 11, 2015, Louis Suárez-Potts lui...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Everybody, I’m a candidate for PMC Chair…. And more below. On 6 Jan 2015, at 13:33, Andrea Pescetti pesce...@apache.org javascript:; wrote: Each of the (current and future) nominees should answer this mail in public and state very briefly: The PMC Chair is ostensibly an administrative position. It’s certainly that, but it also vests its holder with an authority that can be used to grow the project. That, at least, is one way I should like to use it, should I be elected. If elected, I could serve for at least one year and probably more. OpenOffice has been my life for a very long time; it—the community and what it can accomplish with a free tool as powerful as OpenOffice and the ODF—is something I believe in and love. But so do we all. I don’t see myself as working in isolation or as the “lead.” Hardly; I see the role as enabling others. I have a notion of where I would like to see OpenOffice—but so do you. And so does Jan. What would be great is if we could work efficiently and collaboratively to realise our visions of Apache OpenOffice’s future. Growing the community of contributors and uses is something I have some experience doing. But what worked with OpenOffice.org, like the Native Language Projects, were created under different circumstances. AOO is not OOo: it’s more of a community effort. And it operates within the Apache Software Foundation. These are plusses and the opportunities they present to would-be contributors can be communicated to those companies and government agencies who are already using OpenOffice and those who are considering using it. We have not focused on such marketing efforts, and I would like to do so. We also need … so many other things. Updated documentation for developers, for instance; more mentoring and training (at whatever level); and so on: not news. Engaging the community that we have and that we will have is part of the fun I’d like to take on, though I’d reframe it by emphasising that it’s actually our fun. I also believe that we need to explore collaboration with The Document Foundation and LibreOffice. I’ve always argued we should. No one benefits by maintaining this split. (Oh, arguably, the proprietary products reap in yet more billions. But they would anyway.) I have no illusions about any reconciliation or collaboration. But I also believe that the overall community of users stands to gain hugely. More can be said, and I hope it is. But not now.
