In order to be quorate, the vote needs to have 1/2 or more of the Board of Directors members, which gives 4. A total of 4 Board of Directors members have participated in the vote. The vote is quorate. A quorum could be reached with a simple majority of 3 votes. Result of vote: 4 approvals, 0 abstain, 0 disapprovals. Decision: The proposal has been accepted.once I looked over this decision making process, I find it striking that only four BoD members participated. And also is remarkable that among this participants are only long time TDF members and members which have are part of LibreOffice ecosystem development companies or their contract partner. And because the starting point for this attic proposal (and its first use case) is LOOL (online) it is not the best management, if members with a potential CoI around this first use case participate. I'd expect they abstain.
That the attic proposal has been pushed to archive LOOL, IMHO, is clear but is there any CoI at this stage?
That's a vote on the text, which still has room for improvement, not a vote to archive LOOL.
I proposed to open up the repository for 12 months and see if the community is still interested in bringing it forward or not and then, non CoI'ed directors, could vote on it's archival or not.
But independent from this, it is sad to see that there seemed to be already no consent inside the board between the members connected to LibreOffice ecosystem companies and the other members at the start of the new BoD term.
Sorry but it seems like there are visions for the future of TDF that sometimes diverge quite a bit and yes heated discussions still happen.
I think it's very important that members of the community participate more so that all members of the board understand which direction our community want us to follow.
