Hello everybody,

3. Discuss: Business entity (Thorsten, Florian, all 10min)
* Two existing proposals in
https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/NeBWm25cd2LHyoq - Germany and
Luxembourg
* rescheduled after 4 weeks question and clarification, status of this
* Question about ownership and mission/scope/rationale of business
entity
* Need to make some decision, one of the too proposals or can also be
there's no entity in the next ~6-12 months
* App stores: TDF's readiness wrt. tools and skills to provide,
package and update app store binaries, plus documenting
Rationale: We asked the public to send proposals, so let's discuss in
public first. We can move to private if needed.
I just checked the Windows store and the Apple Store for Videolan's VLC
Player.
In Apple's App Store I didn't found anything.
In MS Store there it is listed with two apps:
* VLC for Windows (with remark that not all features are available)
* VLC for Windows Phone [sic]
So I'm sill undecided: on one and I do understand the need for a
business entity on the other hand I do not understand the need as other
non profit organizations like VLC are able to publish their apps in app
stores. What is different in their organization in comparison to our
organization?
Moreover: does this org then also handle the releases in Linux App
Stores (flatpack, AppImage, Snap, you name it) or in MacUpdate or
Chocolatey or other stores? And iff not, why? And if, what happens to
the actual maintainers?
In all proposals I do not see any clear distinction: only in "App
Stores". For the case that only MS and Apple (maybe Google)-owed App
Stores are handled: why do not name it and why is there any distinction
at all?
Best regards,
Dennis
