I've pulled an outline together on the wiki [1]. This is a 'call-to-action'. If you want to see this idea become a reality, now is the time to volunteer. Timing is urgent here. In the northern hemisphere, many of us will go off on vacations in July and August. We need to earn our space from ConComm and the other ApacheCon volunteers if this idea has any hope of success. Note that if you volunteer for this effort, you will also need to help out with the broader conference as well. Share and share alike! I have asked that we sharpen our proposal and submit it to ConComm by Friday, June 22nd... in two weeks time. Yes, that's compressed, but I believe we have sufficiently experienced PPMC members who know what it takes to make something like this happen. I've started a proposed committee list on the wiki, but that's all it is a 'start'. This is a great opportunity to re-boot our OpenOffice community in its country of origin. I'm personally very excited about this, and hope you are too. Please engage and make this happen. [1] *http://s.apache.org/4cp* --bcaec52c6a4f0efa7a04c1fac6e3--
