That was not a vote. A vote would be in "[VOTE]" thread and would say how long the vote remains open. What Dave did was a form of lazy consensus: http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#LazyConsensus >> 1) Treat PrOOoBox as a 3rd party distribution and include it in a page >> where we describe other 3rd party distributions. > > Yes, that's the way I want to go. > >> 2) (more work) make PrOOoBox be an official product of the project. >> If we do that then we can announce it via all the resources we have. > > That would be good, but that will require a lot of coordination work. > Yes. > At the moment, perhaps even following questions: > > What content should be on the PrOOo box? e.g. also FireFox? > > If the PrOOo box would directly associated with AOO, eg on > http://www.openoffice.org/de/prooo-box/, it would then also the site > www.prooo-box.org give (with exactly the same content), and how would their > status?

For example, we could transfer the domain name prooo-box.org to Apache and host the website here. We could put the strings into Pootle to make it easier for translators to translate the text into other languages. We could put prominent links on our homepage or download page. But this is a trade-off. If you do it as an official release then everything about the product, from name to contents to logo, will be open for discussion by the community. So if "creative control" over the CD is more important, then it is probably better to treat it as a 3rd party product. -Rob >> Once you make a proposal, then wait 72-hours (lazy consensus) and if >> there are no objections, then go ahead and do it. > > OK. > >> We don't need to vote.
