Easy answer: I started a thread called "[Proposal] Official Google+ Page for Apache OpenOffice" and gathered feedback. The PPMC reaction was favorable. I then added other PPMC members to the account, so it was not just me controlling the account. We discussed how openly and transparently how we would use the account. We then branded the account with the project logo, sent out an announcement started posting relevant content. It is not what I *say* that makes the account official. It is what I do. Handing over control, working with the PPMC, making proposals, getting their feedback, these are all things that are part of it. In the end, it is not *my* account. It is it the PPMC's. That is what makes the difference. I agree duplicating effort is bad. But we are not duplicating effort. As I pointed out, you've done absolutely nothing with the Google+ page. There is zero effort there. Nothing done since November. So we're not duplicating anything. If you want to avoid duplicating effort and avoid confusing users, why don't you agree to direct the followers of your Google+ page to the active one and to shut yours down? Why won't you do this right now? I think it is an undebatable point that the new Google+ page is: 1) Under PPMC control 2) Is actively being used 3) Is integrated with the project's webpage 4) Is growing rapidly It is also undebatable that your page: A) Has not been used since last November B) You have not proposed it as an official project page C) You have not integrated it into the project's website D) You have not put it under PPMC control So given the above, please tell us why you continue with that page? Why not direct the users to active page and shut yours down? Is this just about personal control? If not, then what is your justification? -Rob
