Who is in charge now?
To clarify, who makes the decisions now?
I do, sort of. But in fact, for the Consultants list: no one, really.
Adam adds companies to the list but we have no criteria. I have
proposed some.
But this is only for the English list, I have criteria for the French
list, they are not added by chance. And they are not present on this
list because it's an English speaking list. Should speaking English be
also a criteria to be added to the list ?
There are, I believe, companies that offer services and whatnot in
languages other than English on this list. There is no reason that this
list could not accommodate any language or region; that was its intent,
actually, at first. (Andre Schnabel and others came up with the idea for
it at the same time as I did and it was not meant to be an
English-language list.)
And I agreed with this idea at that time, but now I'm not sure about
having only one page, this make it very difficult to maintain (I have
never been able to work on it however I promised it :(
More, may be it's a French reaction only, but really seeing a page that
begins in English or contains English links make them turn away.
I'd also be happy to learn from your FR list criteria.
I check every demand, go on the site they propose, ask for the training
catalog, ask for feed back. Last month I've done a mailing to all these
listed companies asking for feedback on a migration topic, in the same
time I've check that all were still proposing OOo services and correctly
mentioned.
I speak about the list that is here, not the companies that are listed
on the general page :
http://fr.openoffice.org/Marketing/entreprises.html
I don't really care about the structure, whether it is benevelent
dictator or a board that votes when the community consensus isn't
clear. I do care about accountability, which doesn't seem to be a
feature of our current system.
Quite; I do not disagree with you.
I completly disagree, sorry.
With? But I asked in another message.
Sophie, I get the feeling you are disagreeing with something that I am
not saying. Would you be so kind as to elaborate?
Sorry for being not clear. I was disagreeing with the fact that
"accountability which is not a feature of our current system."
The list in the FR project is considered as a service for our users, it
is used and visited and these companies also give us feedback on the
work they do. Of course, we don't evaluate the services that are provided.
For example for this project we have :
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/MutuOOo
This page collects a list of applications dedicated to Townhall
services, the idea behind it is to make them run with OOo. Here the
feedback from companies working on OOo migration is of great help to
collect the datas.
This is this part of collaboration between this listed companies and our
project that I would like to be considered.
Again I'm not against a fee, but my concern is more about equity between
those who are participating and those who don't care.
Hope my position is more clear now
Kind regards
Sophie
