First of all, I took the logo off the sitet - so you guys can stop
whining
about that. (Even though I have writen permission from the Community
Manager
to use it.)
Hi all,
Why don't we notify Louis about this discussion, and ask his opinion. If
something has been done that he whas not aware of when he gave
permission, he can take the nessecary steps.
Just a question to Chad:
What is the extra value of this site?
I don't see anyone typing www.whatisopenoffice.org in his browser to
learn more about OOo.
They will type this in the google searchbar, or any other searchengine,
and probably, be pointed to the OOo project site.
So you will have to do heavy promoting of your site to get visistors.
Second: allmost all content and links (exept the related sites bit)
point to the OOo project site. Where is the added value of your site?
Third: i see you have several google adsense pieces, and a "make a
donation" button. To where goes the profit from this advertsing? To the
OOo project, or your own pocket? I can understand you would like to get
the cost of hosting back from advertising, hence, if your attitude would
be more "community minded" i would give you free hosting account on our
company servers, if you could convince me of the added value that your
site has.
Thing is: we are all a bit chocked with your egocentric way of working,
when the subject is concerning a community effort. All of us think about
OOo a little as our own "child", since we are all involved in this
project, one way or the other.
and a little side note: by changing the OOo logo, i think you know your
off track here. If you would like to do an effort in promoting OOo,
maybe you can do this together with the community, instead of driving
your own course. We all have our own agenda, but in a community based
project, that is not the way to go.
So, like a said in the beginning, why don't we invite Louis to
participate in this disccusion, and see what he hase to say?
Just my 2 cents,
Greetings,
Johan B.
