[REQUEST] Initial Committers Please Confirm PPMC Participation.
Initial committers are automatically eligible to serve on the PPMC.
Initial committers who have been set up with their Apache user names and have committer access can begin immediate participation on the PPMC. Simply subscribe to the private@incubator.apache.org list using the @apache.org e-mail or the e-mail given on the iCLA.
There are currently 19 committers who have not joined the PPMC. If you are set up as a committer and have not subscribed, please do so.
If you are set up as a committer and do not wish to serve on the PPMC, please inform the PPMC by e-mail to ooo-private@incubator.apache.org.
For more information on PPMC activities and responsibilities, see <http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html> and

This is true but a release cannot be vetoed, so a binding vote here is of little value. The purpose of binding votes is that the PMC needs to stat that the ASF is entitled to release the code under the Apache License v2. A +1 indicates that the individual feels this is the case and are willing to be state it publicly.
There are a few other procedural items that PMC membership is important. My point was that not being on the PMC doesn't limit ones ability to participate.

It is worth stating, for the benefit o those not eligible to join the PPMC that there will be no discussion on the private lists other than things that need to remain private. For example, voting in new committers (private to save embarrassment if a vote fails) or security bugs.
All project design work, planning, development and other important activities happen here on the public list.
There is no need to be a member of the PPMC to be a full and active contributor/committer to the OO.o project.

I'll add to that... if the email address you use to subscribe matches
the one on the original proposal[1] and the one mentioned on the ICLA,
there is no need to wait to subscribe.
If you would like to subscribe using a different email address, please
update MailAlias.txt first:
http://s.apache.org/MailAlias
Only committers can update that file.

Thanks for responding and welcome!
Although it might not be technically essential, it seems to work more reliably if you have your Apache user name set up first and you use an e-mail address associated with that user name in your ooo-private subscription request.

Thanks for the notification. I'm waiting for my Apache user name.
So should I subscribe to ooo-private@incubator.apache.org now?

Without signing an ICLA you cannot be a committer. A committer has
direct write (commit) access to the repositories where we store the
source code and other source files used for building the
OpenOffice.org product.
There are many ways to contribute to the project without being a
committer and signing the ICLA. You have listed some of them.

If you signed the ICLA and were voted in as a committer, then you
could check in code directly. But this code would still be reviewed
by other committers, and could potentially be rejected. And no one
escapes QA!

I set my name on the "Initial Committers" list, because I want to
support OpenOffice.org in the future the same way as I have done in the
past.
For my "contributions" (managing an running booths on events, supporting
users on maiinglists, reporting bugs etc.) there is no need to sign the
icla.
I don't need an apache mail alias realy too. I've my "good old"
openoffice.org alias; that's good enough for me.
So my question is: is there a way to become not a second class supporter
without signing the icla?
There is another (may be silly) question: If I sign the icla and so on
..., would I be (theoretically) able to dump code into the repository
without any checking by QA?

Correction: please subscribe to ooo-private@incubator.apache.org - NOT
private@i.a.o. This second one is for the IPMC (the incubator pmc) the
first one for the PPMC (podling pmc)
