Rob, 1. Considering that the Bulldozing term and thread were on ooo-private, it will be weird to have that reported here as status of a group that was not privy to it. (The IPMC and mentors already know, of course.) I recommend that the mention be removed. A community accomplishment would be the increase in civility on the ooo-dev list, perhaps. If this is to remain, do you have a more affirmative statement than that mentoring was required? Positive outcome strikes me as the accomplishment.
2. I also forgot an issue, and that is our failure to deal with the (usage of) encryption software now public in the code base. That does strike me as an issue that the Board might want to be aware of. 3. Issues were listed in the August report, under that heading. It might be good to have accounted for them. I have no idea what to say about the organizational one, but perhaps to report that the oversight responsibilities of the PPMC as delegated by the ASF were clarified and are being applied. 4. In particular, discussions with documentation authors were mentioned in the previous report and discussions as to licensing were identified as an issue. If you have a rewording for the outcome (rather than removing the topic completely from the status), I think that would be a good idea. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Rob Weir [mailto:robw...@apache.org] Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 05:18 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Incubator PMC/Board report for September 2011 (ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org) I have updated the draft report: 1) Added mention of the trademark permission request we reviewed and approved 2) Added mention of the difficulties we had this month with "bulldozing" when the discussions became heated. (I think that is relevant, and we should acknowledge the problem as well as steps taken to address it,) 3) Removed the unnecessary editorializing.
