nobody wants a trademark war, we simply want that it is taken careful and don't underestimate the power of our brand. I really would like to collaborate with the distros and also with volunteers of LibreOffice. The question is how wec an collaborate with LO best, the current approach how they take stuff from AOO is damaging open source in general. They can take it but the communication how they do it is key here. And to be honest I have no respect for this but I also believe that this is only driven by a smaller group of people and not the broad LO community. I hope they will see the benefit of closer collaboration in the future. Linux distros will hopefully be more open if we can find maintainers who are interested to help and improve our building and packaging process. This is a minimal requirements to find the way back into the distros. Maybe not all but the ones that are open and believe in open source. > > As I told some weeks ago we need volunteers to maintain Apache > OpenOffice in each GNU/Linux Distributions. agree that is key for all further steps to fnd the way back in any distro.
