Unrelated to the nomination: Dennis how about being AOO representative at the upcoming ODF Plugfest, to be held in on September 15th in The Hague? I've attended a phone call meeting a couple of weeks ago, it seems like this is shaping nicely, and I guess you would be our best spokeperson over there. thoughts? > I am also interested in QA and how user support can be broadened with > materials brought current and highly-available. > That will be more than enough for me to tackle by way of personal > contribution over the next year or so. > > - Dennis > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
