Re: [board-discuss] First Questions To All MC Candidates
Hello Andreas, all, Thank you for your questions. - What are the criteria to measure the value of a contribution? - Which are the criteria for a non trivial or obviously insignificant contribution? - Would your rating differ from areas of contribution? I will write my understanding including this premise. I'd appreciate it if you could point me out if I'm wrong. We chose adopted a bottom-up approach contributors supporting and meritocracy, in the governance model of The Document Foundation. The reason why MC check contributions in membership applications is to make TDF's governance system work. Contribution activities are required to become a member, so it necessary to check it. While § 10 is obviously referenced, we often refer to previously discussed cases. This is not a standard, but it can be helpful. As far as I can see, MC seems to be trying to maintain fairness by having MC members with various positions and contributions come together and discuss. That approach isn't perfect, but it seems to work reasonably well. Of course, it's for fairness, doesn't improve transparency. For fairness and transparency in membership applications, a little more detail criteria might work. However, there are many different patterns of contributions, and it is not easy to create criteria that work well. Still, there may be a way to create MC documents with criteria that are a little more detailed than § 10.

Re: [board-discuss] Questions To MC Candidates

In my opinion, there is no need to change the current rules, unless MC has been suffering from a shortage of members for some time. If the shortage of MC members due to resignation is a problem, I think it is better to increase the capacity of MC. Because resignations occur for a variety of reasons, not just for running for elections in BoD.

[board-discuss] Self-nomination for the Membership Committee: Shinji Enoki
Dear members & Board of Directors of The Document Foundation, Who I am: I'm Shinji Enoki. I live in Nishinomiya, Japan. As a freelance, I also work on a support business for LibreOffice. I started in 2008, OpenOffice.org era. I was the QA Coordinator for the OpenOffice.org Japanese Project. And I joined in the found of the LibreOffice Japanese team. My main activity is community organizing for LibreOffice Japanese community and community marketing such as event organizing in Japan. I have provided the LibreOffice internship program to some of the people who have been studying from Africa to Japan for the last three years. In some cases, my support was not enough, but some people became TDF members. Since 2006, I have been a volunteer staff of KOF, the largest open-source and IT community event in the Kansai area of Japan. Since 2011, I have been a volunteer staff of the Japan UNIX Society, which is one of the oldest communities in Japan. Since 2006, I sometimes organize meetups by the Linux user group "LILO" in Kansai. Why I'm candidate to the MC: TDF supports the LibreOffice community, I think it's important. I would like to play a part in the smooth running of TDF membership. Also, I think strengthening TDF membership may help to make the community more active. Through MC activities, I want to strengthen the relationships between LibreOffice contributors and find a way to support new members. As a frequent join of Japanese and Asian Open Souce events and supporting LibreOffice internships, I have many opportunities to meet LibreOffice contributors, other OSS contributors, and new contributors. For me, it's relatively easy to invite TDF members and LibreOffice activities. Of course, it's not as easy as it used to be due to the influence of COVID-19, but I think there is something I can do online. -- # -- Full name: Shinji Enoki Email address: shinji.en...@gmail.com Affiliation: Independent I and iCraft Corp. are working together to develop a LibreOffice support business in Japan.
