Hi Everyone,
Casual observer here. Lot's of thoughts about the discussion over the last few
months.
I just wanted to share my opinion as someone who has worked in board governance
before, donates, and wants to see the LibreOffice project succeed.
There's obvious personal animosity between
Interesting move. Makes a lot of sense considering the challenges with the
configuration/differences of opinion WRT to TDF strategy.
Personally; I still think this move doesn't address the fundamental issue
around sustainability of the project/product in the hands of non-enterprise

I'm guessing based on the information provided in the titles that the TDF is
looking to set up a The Document "Co-operative/Corporation".
If it is the case you're setting up a business entity, may I strongly plead
towards setting up a multi-stakeholder platform co-operative instead of a

Just my 2 cents.

All of my comments are as a user/donor, so take from them with the importance
you see fit.
I believe TBD is To Be Determined.
I don't know what the acronym USP means.
I like "LibreOffice Technology" a lot more than "LibreOffice Engine".
I still don't like slide 46: "...focused on needs of

Nice, hadn't seen this. Thanks for pointing it out Lionel. I purchased a
license to support it. I like how they've framed it as LibreOffice Vanilla vs
LibreOffice powered by CIB.
I agree with your other points too Lionel and you've communicated it in a way I
was looking to in an earlier post.

I am sorry Simon, and sorry to whoever else was offended by my ageist/crude
language.
What I was trying to communicate is that Gen Z developers have low interest in
looking at Gerrit, Bugzilla, Mailing Lists, or AskBot if there are projects
that are using modern, visually pleasing and easier
It would be better to call it "LibreOffice Unsupported" and "LibreOffice Paid
Support" instead of using the terms "LibreOffice Enterprise" and "LibreOffice
Personal".
You're arguing that using the term "community" creates confusion because of
other open source projects providing the same
-system partners IMO.
