Right. But I hope it is clear to everyone that the main difference between OOo and AOO is not the lack of titles. The main difference is the lack of a large number full-time, professional developers and QA from Sun. Adding or subtracting titles, or swapping them around, does not change that. Adopting the Apache License or the MPL does not change that. Having a PMC or an Advisory Board does not change that. This is not to say that the PMC Chair is not an important role. It is. But it does not change the basic facts on the ground. So let's get this election over with and get on to dealing with the critical tasks ahead.
