+1 Accept OpenOffice.org for incubation (non-binding)
At first I thought beeing on the committers list would imply my approval of the proposal. But now I'd like to give the reasons for my vote as so many others did: (All just my point of view as an suburban inhabitant of the "old" OOo community) TDF was and is important for the OpenOffice.org community and did and does a great job. TDF came into existence just as many people of the OOo community saw the project and the community in danger - to give a new home to OOo. But still other parts of the community remain some kind of "homeless". So I think before the different parts of the community could collaborate, approximate or even reunite, the "homeless" need a new home and I do not see another place now - especially no better one - as the ASF. Looking at the discussion of the last days I see many valid arguments on both sides and a level of approximation I would not have considered possible before. So please let that evolve and don't cancel it before it has begun. I would find it sad to see only parts of the experience represented on the committers list ( not my little bit ;-) ) beeing lost for OOo. My understanding of the Apache Incubator is that it is a place to see in reality if all the "might-be" and "if" is valid or not (might be wrong with it?). So I would be curious to see the things coming.
