[DISCUSS][VOTE] New Apache OpenOffice PMC Chair
Maybe not known for everyone, I want to point out the following:
Please use the VOTE thread *only* for voting. For discussions it is best
to open a new [DISCUSS] thread to leave the voting clean from discussion
stuff.
Now back to the question "Why is the vote still going on?":
I don't see a need to cancel the vote as:
1) it is allowed to change your vote as often you want as long as the
vote is still open.
2) we need a "[0] Abstain" way to express, e.g., "I cannot support the
volunteer (due to reason X) but also don't want to vote with -1". With a
lazy consensus instead vote you need to write *in any way* why you don't
want to have the volunteer as chair.
3) the remaining volunteer is still here and willing to take over. So,
what would be the advantage of cancelling this vote and starting a new
vote with only Peter as electable person? ;-)

Thanks for this Peter. Let’s just focus on what we can control!

do you think a few of them could be helpful for the project. ;-)

That's OK. From what I can say about the PMC chair duties it is less
work to do than thought - at least this is my impression from the last
months. As more often you do things as more routine you get in doing them.

I am sorry for the confusion I am causing.
Sometimes I get stuck in topics, and overrated them due to an inner loop of focus.
In this case it were to not give attackspace to possible trolls. That's why I called it Libre Office troll feedback loop. Libre does only show up because they use Libre for stumping on us.
There is no one involved except me and my other 1000 versions of myself. ;)
I hate when this happens because I tend to do stupid things. And I need time to clear such loops up.
In the end it is important that someone does the chair job and Carl or myself will need to make time for it.
We can spend the time well for other things.
I don't have to do this but will if selected.
I think same goes for Carl.
That's all I think is important to know.
I am really sorry.

Hi Carl,
It is not about what we agree upon.
This is a public vote. And whoever gives a vote is deciding now.
Maybe this is an effect from trolling against us, but I do not think there is space for public weakness or naivete. (And I try not do do both...)
I thought about putting my preferences into my description and decided against it because it would weaken the project.
I was really thankful on Andrea's words. Which are nicely written, but I thought again it would be a weakness to show the thankfullnes so I stoped to write the comment and my vote.
Sorry if I over complicate things.
I really do not mind whoever gets the job. We have all much to do and only little time.
So I am now again late for work :(
I really hate the "Libre Office troll feedback loop"!
All the best
Peter

Hi Peter,
I can still be in and prefer you become Chair this time.
If I misunderstood your desire to be Chair I apologize.
I stepped up to make sure we had a new chair even though my workload is
very high right now.
I thought you had changed your mind about waiting until next year.
If you do not want it, My offer still stands and I'll stand in.
Best regards,
Carl

But maybe my English is not good enough.
A one candidate vote is something completely different as between 2+ candidates. Such a step should be well thought of if this is really the right step.
