Re: [libreoffice-design] Flying the ship...

Hi all,

yes - this is a really old thread, but I think it is important enough to 
revive it now that Christoph is (officially) back again:

So in my eyes it is the right time to ask all of you about your opinion 
on Christoph Noack becoming our UX-Lead inside the Design Team. If he 
wouldn't have been away because of his son's birth back in May, his 
election would have been part of the voting at this time. Now we have to 
run a separate voting...

I'm quite sure most of you know about his past as OpenOffice.org User 
Experience Co-Lead (a position that has never been revoked BTW) and his 
huge contributions not only to OOo UX (please have a look at the 
Renaissance area in the OOo wiki [1] and find out who wrote these 
pages), but to LibreOffice design and UX from the very first beginning 
(including the basics of our present visual identity).

If somebody wants to discuss this proposal before we start voting, feel 
free to ask your questions. Christoph told me that he would take the 
lead's hat if you want him to wear it. He already wrote in his "I'm 
back" mail about his goals for the next time, but he can be even more 
precise if you ask him...

In case there are no objections and no need for more discussion I'd like 
to start the voting on Thursday (if I'll find the time...)

Best regards

Bernhard

PS: Just to inform you: It have not only been holiday reasons causing me 
to reduce my presence here on the list during the last weeks. Even if I 
tried to read all the mails on design@global.libo, I wasn't able to 
reply to all the interesting and important ones. Future seems not to add 
even more hours to day- (or better nighttime)...
