Thanks for those kind words. It's been a great pleasure and a privilege to work alongside Jacqueline on the MP - her contribution has been enormous, even when she should have been taking things easy and looking after her own health rather than than that of the MP :-) She has agreed to keep an eye on the project and help us with her experience and 'feel' for the world of open-source - for which I will be grateful. The good news is of course that Cristian has agreed to be co-lead for the MP. Cristian is full of ideas, and with Microsoft starting to lose touch with its core market, I'm sure we'll make serious marketing progress and have no end of fun over the next twelve months. For now, I'd like to focus the MP on the why.openoffice.org theme, building up the momentum to a really powerful conference. If you aren't already booked to attend - do it! If you've wanted an excuse to visit Europe - you've got one! If you really can't attend, we still need your success stories - get in touch and we'll find some way of presenting them to the conference. *You* know why.openoffice.org - now let's tell everyone else.
