For some people this is even a matter of pride, like wearing a
t-shirt with a well known brand or message.
I agree with this.
Regarding easy handling:
I tend to expect there is more good than bad to be generous with
@libreoffice.org Mail adresses to people joining or even beeing in
favor of LibreOffice. Similar as, but not equal as of with
openoffice.org. As mentioned by Bernhard, there should be a
mechanism of revoking it and it should be clear for everyone this
can happen in case of missuse.
So, nickn...@libreoffice.org
+ 1
Leave the mail for TDF oficials as @documetnfoundation.org
+1, I would even add the following: @libreoffice.org are only
available for official contributors and even they have to request it
(I don't exactly see the automatic need for, say, a code contributor
to have such an address).
I've a different view whom beeing part of the community:
What's about one passing the (upcoming) DVD to his neighbour plus giving
him first support but never appearing in the official "contributing
system" here?
Whats about the teacher advocating and promoting LO in his scool or even
an excited user advocating the suite in his company? You wouldn't allow
him to use a @libreoffice.org alias?
Well, there are many ways you can define a community. What we do here is
define a threshold, a level of commitment which marks a point where we have
individuals who are committed enough to contribute in a seizable way. I'm
well aware there is a community of users, and even a community of fans, but
in my view they can benefit in different ways. Also note that there isn't a
rule that says users or fans should be hindered to participate. In contrary,
Membership is something you earn by contributing in a constant and seizable
way (see the Bylaws).
But I would like to give you an example, which is in fact a personal one. I
regularly use Claws Mail, an email client for reading and sending almost all
my mails.
I am quite happy with it, so happy in fact, that I'm an advocate of this
email client. I wrote two articles about it, I filed a bug report once,
chatted on the project's IRC... But I'm not requesting a
@claws-mail.orgemail address, and in fact, I don't know of any FOSS
project out there that
hands out email addresses for fans (aside something indirect such as
xyzprojectcommunity.org).
So to me there are also advocates and promoters who are very happy without
an email address or a special status.
Friedrich may i add that all i have see on other FOSS projects is
that mails are given to big time developers to the project, not users or
fans of a given project.
You agree the statements of Tom, Olivier and mine one, finally
advocating the opposite - did You read it? :o))
Apparently I just read yours :-)
Cheers,
Charles.
No offence :o))
