Yes, this is quite possible. The way PMC members were selected (public 
nominations on the ooo-dev list) might have been a factor here.

I'm obviously not a mentor, but I must say this hasn't been seen as a 
problem so far and that we fully understand that this is just the 
initial PMC, which would be enlarged to further contributors later;  and 
volunteers from other Apache projects who would like to help with 
OpenOffice would of course be very welcome.

In general, strengthening our bonds with other Apache projects is 
something we want to do, and ApacheCon EU will probably be a very good 
opportunity for cross-pollination and talks in this direction.

Regards,
   Andrea.
