[native-lang] Re: [project leads] Re: [discuss] Call for Nominations for Community Council Election

Hi,

first of all thank you Cor for your trust in me that i would be an
eligible candidate.

I needed some days to think about the nomination to be sure that i am
motivated, have the time and that i have the open and global view on the 
project that is necessary. And what is more important from my point of 
view that i have a realistic view because the work in all the different 
areas have to be done. Talking only is not enough. And the heart is 
still the product itself. A good product that we can promote, where we 
can do marketing for, that we can localize to reach even more people, 
that we can customize to reach other user groups like OOo4Kids, and that 
we can always improve to make it the best office suite of choice.

I know the project very well because i know it before it was born ;-)
And the reason why i still work full time on the project is the project 
  self. Ok Sun as a good employer is a further very important point here 
as well.

My the potential CC work would i do in my spare time because it
wouldn't be part of my normal work. You see there is no real difference
to any other candidate ;-)

I am not looking for a further position or so, i am already the project 
lead of the API and Extensions project (but project lead positions are
not really important from my point of view). But i am always motivated
to improve things where i have the impression that things can be
improved. And that is the reason why i accept the nomination.

It's up to others now to vote for me or not. I am at least willing to do 
my best.

Thank you

Juergen
