+1. I think Dennis would be a great choice, if he is willing. I've known him for almost a decade now, from his volunteer work on the ODF standard and with ODF interoperability. He was one of the few true volunteer members of the ODF TC, not working for any of the large commercial vendors, but gained the respect of all with his technical knowledge and experience, but also his willingness to work with all. He's a gentleman, something we don't see much anymore. I met him once in Seattle at an ODF Plugfest and he made me appreciate the importance of thanking public bus drivers. My mentioning all this will surely embarrass Dennis a little, but that's the kind of guy he is, and I want to make sure you know that.
