Hi all, Florian - thank you for this follow up :-)

The missing part, as David pointed out, was that only Windows has been covered. But we have also users (thus: marketing material and documentation) for Mac OS X users. However, there is one tiny thing missing (to me) in Florians draft, so I'd like to tweak it a bit. (I feel free to do so on the sc-discuss list, since I've been originally asked to summarize the status for an earlier meeting).

The preferred solution for screenshots is to do them with Linux, but any > other operating system is acceptable as well. The original issue (on the different mailing lists) also contained the "what visible desktop environment, what theming" should be used. Defining that is (in my opinion) up to the teams, so I'd like to ask the SC to encourage the community to find a rather consistent appearance. > 2. There is a small legal risk, but we doubt it is of practical relevance. Fully agreed. > Any native speaker who wants to improve the wording, feel free, but please do > not completely change the meaning. :-) The following two items have to be in > that statement. So, only the third paragraph added ... and GNU/Linux instead of Linux. == Screenshots for documentation, website and marketing should preferably be taken on GNU/Linux, but may also be taken on any other operating system. The Steering Committee acknowledges that there is a small legal risk involved for screenshots on non-free operating systems, but the risk is deemed low. The Steering Committee recommends a consistent visual appearance (e.g. theming) for the screenshots taken on the selected operating system. It is up to the LibreOffice community how to achieve that consistency. == Being also a non-native speaker (English), I'm happy if someone could proofread this as well. Thanks! > I'd like to proceed to voting on the statement soon.
