Hi,
No, it was not discussed to tell you to move, just because we want
you to move away from the OOo lists. *sigh*
That is what Daniel was talking about, the council discussing
asking OOoAuthors to move the *list*. We are thinking of moving
the *list*. What's the problem?
the problem is the wording.
Quoting Daniel: "But consider that the OOo council has already talked
about telling OOoAuthors to move. They thought of it."
No Reason given why the Council would as OOoAuthors list to move. What
in fact must bee seen as a selfish decision.
The reason for the request to move is here:
"The bottom line for me is that commercial endeavours mentioned on the
OpenOffice.org site have to contribute to the OpenOffice.org project."
At least Daniel has been aware of the discussion. But instead of telling
the Council, that OOoAuthors is misjustified, he sends a message to
OOoAuthors that the Council will ask OOoAuthors to move and after that
will tell, that OOoAuthors betrayed OOo.
This sounds like "I tell only half the truth to the people I like, so
that they like me and not those people, I have troubles with."
Second reason was the announcement of selling OOoAuthors
documentations and using it for OOoAuthors. If you read the Council
lists, it was discussed to ask OOoAuthors to give some of the profits
to OOo (in form of Team OOo e.V.).
In this note,
http://council.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=739
Louis Suarez-Potts did not say *some of* the profits, he
said *the* profits. Has Louis's initial wording been amended? All the
notes I saw simply said +1's from other council members, with no
further discussion.
*sigh* ok, I'll raise this again and ask for replacing *the* with *some
of*.
André
