Hi Christoph, Please let me nominate Andreas Bartel as a Product Development Representative.
Andreas is a user experience engineer and is the lead of project Renaissance[1].
I am sure that OpenOffice.org and our users will strongly benefit from his broad knowledge, his deep user experience skills and his enthusiasm on OpenOffice.org!
Best regards, Frank OpenOffice.org User Experience Project Lead http://ux.openoffice.org [1] http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Renaissance Am 29.05.2010 00:27, schrieb Christoph Noack:
Hi everyone, On behalf of the Community Council, I would like to announce the new round of elections for the Council and start the process by asking the OpenOffice.org Community members to nominate those they think would best contribute both to the Council and to OpenOffice.org. You may also nominate yourself. NOMINATION Consider doing that. Or nominate someone you think has been particularly valuable for the project; he or she does not need to be a developer! This cycle, like the previous ones, is important. OpenOffice.org is ten this year and the eyes of the world are looking upon us with eagerness to see how we work with business, government, education, and individuals. Your voice, your input, your experience is needed to take OpenOffice.org into its next decade. REPRESENTATIVE Several categories of OpenOffice.org contributors make up the Community Council, for a total of ten persons. Those categories cover the breadth of OpenOffice.org. All but one, the permanent Oracle representative (Stefan Taxhet), are elected by community vote. This time, the term of John McCreesh reached its end and his seat Product Development Representative is up for election. On behalf of all, I'd like to thank John for his long and immensely productive contributions to the Community Council! Any community member can be nominated for the seat of the Product Development Representative. Nevertheless, the voting itself will be done by the corresponding constituency – according to your role in the community. The people representing the constituency will receive an email when the voting phase starts. DETAILS The nomination phase will last till 2010-06-15 (24:00 UTC). Please use the mailing list for the Product Development Representative to nominate the community members: dev@openoffice.org Nominees, if you agree, then you need to confirm your nomination on the mailing list mentioned above within the nomination phase. A commissary will help coordinate the election process, and I'll serve in that role. The observers will be Sophie Gautier, Mechtilde Stehmann, and Drew Jensen, as with the last elections. Thanks to them! Details on this election cycle and a link to the current Election Process Bylaws can be found on the dedicated wiki page. This page will be updated continuously to reflect the current status: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Community_Council/Elections/2010-06 This announcement will be posted to the relevant public lists as detailed in the Election Process Bylaw: dev@openoffice.org, disc...@openoffice.org, and project-le...@openoffice.org. Project leads, please consider to forward this information to your project specific lists! THOUGHTS Again, consider nominating yourself or someone equally interesting. We need energetic contributors who understand, and fully support the OpenOffice.org project and have a sense of its dynamic and potential. The world is changing - we know that - and to make sure it changes for the better, join us on the Community Council. Thank you all!
