 yourself.

 I'd like to nominate John McCreesh, Co-Lead of the Marketing Project and
 its former Lead, for a second term. John has ever since been working in
 the spirit of the community, and I respect his wisdom and his way of
 collaborating, as well as his enthusiasm. I'm sure that having him on
 the Council for a second term would greatly contribute to the efforts of
 our community.

 I already asked John, and he agreed to being nominated for a second term.

I'd like to thank Florian for his nomination, but after careful
consideration I've decided not to stand for re-election after all. The
Council Constitution states Product development and Lang members are
discouraged from serving successive terms and I think this is a wise
provision for all CC members. It's been a privilege to serve the
Community on the Council, but I believe that we should encourage new
people to stand, to bring new perspectives and new energy to the
Council. When a well known face stands for re-election, others are
reluctant to put their names forward.

So, thanks to all who have sent your kind messages of support - and if
anyone has been hesitating about putting their names forward, please
don't wait to be asked - give it a try!

John

Consider doing that. Or nominate someone you think has been particularly

the first one last year, 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 OOo into its next decade.
