There is some difference between the way ASF sees "community" compared to the former structures of the OOo community. ASF sees much of what the old OOo called the community as the "ecosystem". As a specific proposal I think we need at least one ppmc/pmc member with the role of linking to wider community or ecosystem projects and I'd nominate Louis for that role because he has the most experience. I'm willing to assist if he accepts that role and thinks I could be useful. It could be that additional roles develop in marketing, distribution etc within the pmc but that does not have to be decided at this stage. Such roles could be developed outside ASF but with a formal link to the pmc to support communications.
This is just a suggestion to get things rolling and comes from the discussion on private. I don't think this is a "private" issue so if the discussion has merit it ought to take place on a public list. -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications (The Schools ITQ) www.theINGOTs.org +44 (0)1827 305940 The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
