Consider this a great opportunity for give back and networking! If the ASF TAC [1] isn't a well known institution amongst your fellow ASF community members make a change to the better by spreading the word.
We are, but it didn't help to have admission fees announced (with significant delay) to committers 12 hours before TAC applications closed (with unchanged deadlines), and just in the middle of an OpenOffice release vote. OpenOffice committers will learn from this, but circumstances didn't help this time.
One final word - by the attending a conference versus having a nice vacation comparison you are really wakening your own point cause one could question whether your intentions in this matter are true and honest.
You are not referring to me, of course. I never wrote that or anything similar to that. And if by "you" you are referring to "OpenOffice committers in general", I honestly don't think it is right to generalize. It would have been fair of you to explicitly CC the person who wrote that.
