I could write much and more but to keep a long story short:
I will volunteer to take over the role as next Chair.
Planned is a time frame of 1 year. But of course also a bit longer if it
fits better for any (time) contraints.
I don't want to write here what should be done better or faster or ...
as it doesn't make sense because - I'm pretty sure - it will always work
out differently. Furthermore, this is not the thread to talk about this.
Just one addition:
For ASF the Chair role is not to say what to do or where to go. The
tasks are in more formal way and well described here [1] and here [2].
So, you shouldn't expect anything else. Of course I'll do the same in
the project (or more if my spare time permits) but than as an usual
committer.
And at the end:
If there are any other candidates please speak up now. Then we can start
a discussion.
Thanks for your attention.

I am now ready to begin the Chair nomination process. Because of delays, the
next change of Chair has moved to October 19.
REQUEST FOR NOMINATIONS
This message starts the nomination process for the next Chair for the Apache
OpenOffice PMC. The term of the next Chair will start on 2016-10-19 and my
resignation will be effective on that date.
Members of the PMC can nominate themselves, expressing their willingness to
serve.
You can also place the names of others in nomination. Those individuals must
accept the nomination to be considered as eligible.
The identification of Nominees will end on Tuesday, 2016-09-13. The nature of
subsequent discussion will depend on the number of Nominees.
TIMELINE
Here's the new timeline that has the replacement be ratified by the October 19,
2016 meeting of the ASF Board:
2016-10-19 ASF Board Meeting - Board rules on the resolution to install the new
Chair.

Subject: [DISCUSS] Process: Elect Next Chair of AOO Project Management
Committee
[BCC to PMC]
[From the Chair]
It is time for the selection of the next chair for the Apache OpenOffice
Project Management Committee.
INCUMBENT CHAIR
I officially began my term on the third Wednesday of September, 2015. My
commitment was to serve for one full year and then be replaced. I will
complete that one-year term and step down on the third Wednesday of
September, 2016. My successor will then be established by the Apache
Software Foundation Board.
Although I will continue as a member of the Project Management Committee
and as a contributor to the Apache OpenOffice project, I am not
available to continue as Chair beyond the 2016-09-21 ASF Board Meeting.
I am available to assist the incoming Chair in any manner required for
successfully transferring duties of the Chair.
CHAIR ELECTION
Based on previous practice, nomination, discussion, and election periods
are held. Here is my proposed time-line, from endgame backwards:
2016-09-21 ASF Board Meeting - Board rules on the resolution to install
the new Chair.
2016-09-14 Resolution from AOO PMC to accept the new Chair is added to
the Agenda for the 2016-09-21 Board Meeting (latest possible date)
2016-09-07 [RESULT][VOTE] on election of next Chair is reported.
2016-08-31 [VOTE] on election of next Chair begins (with allowance for
US Holiday weekend). This could be by lazy consensus if there is
already a single acceptable candidate.
2016-08-17 [NOMINEE DISCUSSION] process begins formally and any
discussion on and among candidates willing to serve takes place.
2016-08-03 [NOMINATIONS] Individuals are recommended or offer
themselves, indicate their availability to serve for at least one
single-year term, and also have their own questions answered.
This process can be accelerated where it is seen that discussions have
quieted and consensus for moving forward is evident.
