And this article explains some of the technical reasons why. I highly recommend it.

Because the lists have been extremely slow -- my own voting disappeared 47 hours ago :-( -- I'll keep the voting open another 2 days. Then all the mails stuck in the queue should be delivered (and perhaps some new ones too). But I don't know if we can count the result as official: I know about 9 people's votes: - Steven Shelton - Konrad Stobiecki - Chad Smith - Mark Harrison - Adam Moore - Jean Hollis Weber - Charles-H. Schulz - Florian Effenberger - me (if my mail will reach the list one day...) Some others made proposals, but didn't vote, but my main concern is, that many of the most active project members don't seem to be interested in this theme at all. I have no idea, if they dislike the proposals, the complex voting procedure or the search for an official positioner / slogan altogether. The normal way in a community is that you can assume that all the people *not joining* a voting are not interested in the theme or don't have a favorite. But here I really don't know: John McCreesh posted on Sept. 29th (just before the OOoCon): I'm also ask for guidance on how to progress the question of a 'slogan'/'positioner'. When this has been raised in the past it has generated lots of heated debate - it has been very quiet so far here on [EMAIL PROTECTED], which makes me think that people's attention is elsewhere (OOoConf, 2.0RC, etc). There was no debate at all - and neither he nor Jacqueline McNally did join the voting. I'd like to hear the opinions of others too: Deepankar Datta, Daniel Carrera, Sam Hiser, Ian Lynch, Alexandro Colorado, Jonathon Blake, Lars D. Noodén, Graham Lauder, Claus Agerskov - just to name some people I believe to have lots of marketing experience they could share with us. And Erwin Tenhumberg did post most of the proposals - I don't think there may be a reason to exclude Sun staff from the voting. For the people having joined the voting there should be a result - but perhaps you could tell me, what I did wrong (besides the complicated voting system).

You did nothing wrong Bernhard. The Vote for official positioner (slogan) reopened discussion thread inviting people to vote for a positioner was buried amongst a lot of discussion that if it was to be discussed on OpenOffice.org was more appropriate to discuss@ or social@ dev@marketing.openoffice.org (this list) is Similar to that of development projects, tasks and activities are discussed here to complement activities submitted and tracked in IssueTracker and our ToDo List. The positioner/slogan discussion and voting is an important activity and very much relevant and on topic for this list. I was waiting for others to comment and vote before I posted, then the lists slowed ... May I suggest that now the lists are starting to flow, that the voting and discussion continues this week until Friday 2 December. So if you haven't voted or offered an opinion, please review http://marketing.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=devmsgNo=21704 and offer them up before Friday.
