Let me have some words on this propsed conferece, as you seem to put much more in this than there actually ist. The reason for me to suggest (or agree) to such a conference is that I want to see some common ground in our community. Unfortunately there seems to be non common voice among those who decided not to join TDF. As other people already mentioned - your position as Community Manager is currently self-claimed (it does in no case fit to the definitions according to the OOo gudelines). The Community Council did not see elections and is missing several members. So it is hard to see you or the current CC as "representative of the project". Anyway - I know, that several people are still engouraged to deliver a free Office Suite for all of our users and do this within a community of contributors (no matter if they are volunteers, companies, developers, translators, designers ...). So - I want to speak to those engaged people, based on trust. Unfortunately - you worked hard to establish distrust. Already in March we had a talk what could be done to work on common tasks. But instead of trying to collaborate, contact me or TDF and establish trust, you published some rather FUDish blogs - and even continued with that after after some clear inidcation, that this will be a problem for further discussion. You did not even seem to understand or read my mails. But now you publically state that we are going to "put into place those things"? Sorry Louis - we are not there yet. First you need to establish trust again. Either in a phone call (that was my intention to join the call) - or by proving you have the backing of the people you claim to represent (means hold an election or at least get an endorsement from those who had been elected to the CC). regards, André -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@marketing.openoffice.org with Subject: help
