Apache OpenOffice podling needs some guidance

This was extracted (@ 2025-10-25 13:10) from a list of minutes which have been approved by the Board.

Please Note The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting. ASF Members may have access to a private draft of these still-unapproved minutes.

WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

 The board feels that the AOO PPMC is not yet operating as a PMC
 should. The concerns are primarily with the ability of the PPMC to
 self-police its members' behavior on-list. Ross will draft a note
 to ooo-private with board's concerns.

 AOO has requested releasing binaries as official Apache releases.
 Flex has also requested signed binaries.

 Roy suggests: (P)PMC approves a source release. Infra then can build
 and sign binary releases. The board may approve this if properly
 reviewed.

 Jim will send a message to committers@ regarding binaries signed by
 Apache.

 Sam will make committers@ archived publicly with a public URL for
 each message.
