No, I'm not discouraged. This is a great opportunity to discuss people in the project.
indeed. It's a discussion we should have done earlier before, but I'm glad that we managed it now :-)
I understood. What we need is to clarify fund issues with specific examples, because new comers like me don't know the rule.
Indeed. There's a soon-to-be-published draft of some guidelines. Looking into the latest draft and edits is still on my todo, and I hope to manage that soon. Then we'll post it to the marketing list for discussion, and I hope it makes things much more clear for the future.
I confess we had a long delay in working on this, but sometimes things take just longer...
I see. Additionally my point is what the OOo project itself internationally is. How each country covers its budget and how we collaborate with each other are very important. This is totally ideal not reality, but as long as OOo exists, we can try to make it real to maximize our ability.
We're working on improving things. The funding situation got *much* better the last years, but of course we're far away from e.g. Mozilla, that hires lots of people and can pay for their worktime.
I'm OK, and this is not a negative discussion, but again I think OOo project in each country is not isolated. We need to consider how we can collaborate continuously.
I am really glad you see it in a positive way!
