If you move your contributions somewhere else it supports your position there, but not in this project anymore. So when you are claiming to wanting to move to a more meritocratic structure, it is unfortunate to see you want to keep influence on a project you do not want to contribute anymore. As I said before: You cant have a cake and eat it. If you are still interested in contributing to OpenOffice.org, I would be very interested in an reliable precise statement by TDF on how it intends to contribute back to OpenOffice.org. So far I only heard about how it intends _not_ to contribute back. > Think about this fact: People who have been working with you guys for > 10 years or who generally have contributed their best days, their > leisure time, their jobs, to build OOo ... While not being part of the project for so long, you describe me and many others at Oracle. For many here OpenOffice.org is not just a job and they are contributing in their leisure time much more than you might think. These are people that are rightfully feeling part of the OpenOffice.org community just as you were. > How could we have come up with such a crazy project for which some, > if most of you will hate us for the rest of their lives? Again, think > about it. I was really interested to find out. Unfortunately by actions seen by now I get the feeling that naïveté had a lot to do with it. And, by the way: I have not seen any hate around here, however quite lot of personal disappointment.
