 Hi Florian, all,

 this looks rather supportable to me. While I don't think TDF's main
 purpose is lobbying, we're certainly well-placed to share best
 practices, and help as a go-between Do-FOSS and our ecosystem.

 So +1 from me.
+1 for me too.

Regards,
Andreas

Same here. Do-FOSS does quite some good noise about OSS including us, which is
well appreciated.

Best,

[board-discuss] cooperation with Do-FOSS?

2015-07-13 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hello,

we have received the following request, which I'd like to put to public 
discussion:


==
Dear Document Foundation,

we are Do-FOSS, the initiative for the use of Free and Open Source 
Software (FOSS) by the City of Dortmund [1]. Unfortunately, there is no 
English version of our webpage but we do have an English landing page 
[2]. In case you are more deeply interessed in our activities you could 
use the service of your choice to get an automatic translation (Google 
Translate 
https://translate.google.de/translate?hl=sl=detl=enu=do-foss.de 
does a good job from our point of view).


Our goal at Do-FOSS is pretty much explained by our name so I am going 
to leave it to that at this point  As a means to reach our goal we take 
civil action and bring organisations together who can provide knowledge 
and partnership for the migration of our city administration from 
proprietary to free software.


So far Do-FOSS as an intiaitve integrated into various already existing 
organisations. These are

- Free Software Foundation Europe [3]
- ver.di (a nationwide acting German union to which we have mostly local 
contact but also federal) [4]

- digitalcourage (a nationwide German initiative for citizen privacy) [5]
- OSBA (Open Source Business Alliance) [6]

These organisation are listed altogether here[7].

We would be thrilled if we could expand our effort of providing a 
knowledge and partnership to the city council of Dortmund by adding the 
Document Foundation. For example the experience the city of Munich has 
made through the LiMux-Project could contribute to our aim very valuably.


I'll be happy to get in touch with you in case I left something unexplored.

If you should decide to go along with our request we would need from 
you: A logo of the Document Foundation we may use and a description of 
the Document Foundation in about the short length of the other 
introductions of the organisations listed so far. An emphasis on Open 
Standards would be nice of course.


Best regards
For Do-FOSS
