Thanks. I've essentially followed your suggestions. I hope that others will 
review the wiki at 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/2012+Sept before it is 
moved to http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/June2012 on Wednesday.

Sorry, when I'm a bit late with this.

Not that it makes a real difference. But in the March and June report it 
was named OpenOffice (was OpenOffice.org). Now it's again 
OpenOffice.org.


Furthermore, I don't like the formulation

We expect to graduate in the next quarter.

Maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker but for me it sounds like 
too much demanding. A sentence like We plan and work to fulfill 
graduation in the next quarter. fits much better.


Of course, my 2 ct.

Not too late. The mentors have not signed off and the IPMC takes at least a 
week to review.

Done. Officially in the Incubator records we are OpenOffice.org, but podling 
name changes are not uncommon.

 
 Furthermore, I don't like the formulation

I changed to We are working to fulfill graduation requirements in the next 
quarter.

Worth more than that.

 Along with that June issue, there is our promise to provide an update in the

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,

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

 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.

 Thanks for getting this started, Dave.
 
 I made a few more changes...some facts need review and, of course, we could 
 always use more input...
 
 I made a additional changes as well. I think that the report is overly long

 Dennis - would you confirm the PPMC change statement.
