I thought about it, since the travel part is easy. I decided to avoid the expense of the conference and accomodations and stay home though. - Dennis > -Original Message- > From: Patricia Shanahan [mailto:p...@acm.org] > Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2016 17:24 > To:

Hi Patricia; I understand OpenOffice.org started it's life in Germany, and for some posibly related reason AOO usually has more presence at ApacheConEU than in the NA event. Cheers, Pedro. - To unsubscribe, e-mail:

AOO Governance (was RE: Next release and gbuild)

Technically, we do not have a management hierarchy on Apache projects, although there are some rather limited governance roles. There can be self-organizing *informal* teams that are basically people working together for some common within-project purpose and those are fluid and definitely

Re: AOO Governance (was RE: Next release and gbuild)

In the same way management in your professional experience handled disagreement, disrespect, waste, inefficiency etc. that sometimes happen when people work together. You did offer to learn to be a release manager, it means that some sort of "management" is needed? How someone here suggested

RE: AOO Governance (was RE: Next release and gbuild)

It seems we're having a nomenclature problem here. At the ASF "Release Manager" and "Release Management" are narrow, specific terms. AOO release management does not involve any abstraction that includes supervision of work and especially not supervision of workers. This may be more helpful
