However, as we had lots of irritating issues with @openoffice.org
e-mail addresses, I would like to avoid these mistakes.
Well, the real problem at OOo with such adresses was, that anybody could
register at the website and then could use an @ooo mail address.
So *anybody* could claim to have some connection to OOo.
It's evident that @documentfoundation.org accounts are only for those
who work for/with TDF and are eligible to represent them in certain
aspects, like the SC or administrators.
For LibreOffice, I'm a bit hesitant to hand out @libreoffice.org, as
this may seem like people are acting on behalf of TDF, causing
liability issues. Maybe I'm too touchy, so I'm happy for comments,
which is why I am writing this mail. :-)
I don't see, that we will run into the same troubles as OOo. We have a
defined membership process, people can only become members, if they did
some work to further our projects and will continue to do so. So
becoming a TDF member is a privilege, that needs to be earned.
Why should we not show, that we welcome our members by giving a
libreoffice.org mail address? Besides the already mentioned fact, that
longer domain names are ugly, I'd like to keep it stupid simple:
- TDF representatives (SC, ESC, BoD, MC ...) get documentfoundation.org
mail aliasses
- approved members get libreoffice.org mail aliasses
regards,
André
