Hello, I am writing to see if the current AOO Dev team would like to create an independent entity which can:
- Do trainings - Accept funds and have pay developers - Write commercial books / online tutorials with sponsorship This can be used have paid developers working on the project. Maybe initial sponsorship can come from an organisation like Redhat, Pivotal or Micro Focus if they are interested. Perhaps companies which used the code base in the past like IBM or Oracle. The entity should ensure they work on the AOO codebase using the ASF way. Suminda
