Hi Andreas,

once I read this sentences the first time, I thought I was in a
different film in 2010. But maybe I didn't understand the situation
in OOo project at that time.
I may be wrong, it is a long time ago, but from what I remember, the
problem was not the domination per se [though please don't understand
me as supporting domination ;-)], but the unwillingness to communicate
& seek consensus how to improve the situation for contributors.
it seemed there are different worlds for developer and other community
members.
I and others had the impression that the project domination by one
company at that time wasn't healthy and that the engagement of this
dominant player would end very soon (because of their business
management model).
This was the reason why we get involved in the LibreOffice project from
day one.
We, the majority of the German speaking community members, left the OOo
project and had to fight against accusatory mails from employees etc.
But we withstand this violating situation and invested a lot of our
spare time and resources to make the German language project vital.
Thus I think it is important for community members, which remember the
situation of 2010, to avoid a situation, where only or nearly only one
company dominates the project and especially one area of the project.
The incorporation of a foundation was meant to avoid such situation. But
currently I think, the idea behind this action was not shared by all TDF
members and maybe we had to have set stricter rules to avoid cluster
risk in the TDF bodies.
And one thing which I take with me from this discussion is the evidence
that it is (nearly?) impossible to wear two hats at the same time.
Regards,
Andreas
Completely agree with what you said.
