The most interesting part is probably this (comment 19): "The fact that there are no public reports of our private meeting and private email conversations with TDF Steering Committee members means absolutely nothing. You might ask your favorite TDF SC member who they were talking to on April 28th at 9am EDT. Perhaps that will help refresh their memory. And if you think that the general membership of TDF was not made aware of this opportunity, then who is to blame: me, or your own unelected, self-appointed Steering Committee ? If you think that you should have been informed of this opportunity, and wish that your SC had been more open to cooperating in this move, then I think you should complain to them." I do not think there should be more or any cooperation there. But if there have been these talks and decisions not only without informing the community or interested public but even without participating the already approved document foundation members[1] I would be pretty upset. Although it is obvious that making that public would have lead to complicated discussions on the mailing lists and probably some not so happy Oracle/IBM people, following these corporate - behind closed door and intransparent - decision making is not something a community should strive for, even if the alternatives are harder. Regards, Michael [1] I am not, so I am not sure if they were informed. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
