Thanks, Florian for the long message :-)
But, can I request that we have such advocations (not sure that's a
word) presented in a more neutral space? My reasoning, besides the
obvious, that this is OOo-land, has to do with simply having a
suitable forum for what is likely to be a protracted and contentious
discussion, and that sort of thing calls out for neutrality.
I also tend to think that having focused and if possible in-person
meetings is immensely helpful.
as the topic was raised on this public mailing list, and as it concerns
the OpenOffice.org Community, I thought it is indeed the right approach
to reply publically to the discussion.
The question I raised was not rhetorical. I don't want to say "take TDF
as is", but I am open to feedback and criticism. If there is anything
that needs to be changed or improved, any criticism that is justified, I
definitely will not ignore it, but rather try to work on it and improve
things. However, I will also take position to criticism that from my
point of view is simply not justified, and I think, that combination is
a good basis for a discussion.
So, again, my question to all of the OpenOffice.org community: Is there
any particular reason on why working together, jointly, united, is not
possible? Is there any justified reason on why working under the
umbrella of a different foundation, or even setting up another
foundation in parallel, makes sense?
I am open to discussion on any channel -- and although I think that the
OpenOffice.org mailing lists are indeed the right channel to discuss the
future of the OpenOffice.org community, I am happy to discuss on any
other channel. Needless to say, I prefer openness and transparency,
whereever possible.
And of course, I'll support you in this discussion and completely second
your point of view and your position here. In the same way, I would be
happy to discuss further with the OpenOffice.org community what can be
the best done to join both.
Face to face meetings are of course an option, but it will exclude those
who cannot participate, so why not initiate the discussion on the list
here as I did?
+1
Kind regards
Sophie
