With some interest I've read all the contributions in this discussion.
I've been learning a lot about differences and interference of product

I support Martins idea, that he likes to see a broad representation in
the council, as we have written down here and there.
Thinking about this today, I have the impression that the practical
influence on the councils work is not at all that much visible. Far less
than for example the individual qualities of council members.
Apart from that, and seeing the very few concerns reg. his qualities in
the discussion, it looks OK to 'give Thorsten the benefit of the doubt',
and trust that he not only will be looking and debating with the other
council members from - what the hack ;-) - developers perspective.
mmh, i have still one problem. One motivation for me to go into the CC
was and still is that i will try to work for a stronger OpenOffice.org
community and against derivated work. And in consequence of this i see
a conflict with somebody in the CC who is nowadays the driving force
behind a spin-off (wording of go-oo, i call it fork others derivated
work). It might be not so obvious for many community members what go-oo
really is. And one reason for this is that our project rules are not
accepted as they are. Or only partly.
I have indeed a problem to support somebody as product development
representative who don't really accept our project rules and who work
actively on a product that brings developers not to OOo but more to go-oo.
This single fact is of course a key element in my personal decision
independent of any other qualifications of him. I appreciate Thorsten's
engineering capabilities, his enthusiasm for OOo etc. but if he want to
be a product development representative for OOo he has to accept the OOo
project rules.
The discussion I have read on these lists, is also in valuable in the
sense that it shows support from members in various parts of the community.
That can help us to feel confident, that the desired broader
representation where this discussion started with, will not suffer from
Thorsten being a council member.
On the contrary, picking I look forward to pick up our normal work in
the council again, with focussing on chances and cooperation.

Does this make sense to others as well?
Kindest regards,
