I think it is important to add that the problem is the software group at IBM, and not IBM as a company, although I would not mention IBM in ANY of our documents or web pages. We have decided a long time ago at BoD level to ignore AOO and IBM in every document originating from TDF, and the marketing is leading on this specific decision. I have not mentioned AOO and/or IBM in any presentation I have made since June 2011, and I have not answered any question on the subject (although I always get the question about AOO). In order to avoid flames and FUD attacks (Mr Robert Weir is a global authority on FUD), please do not mention AOO and IBM when preparing LibreOffice 4.0 marketing materials. -- Italo Vignoli - italo.vign...@gmail.com mob +39.348.5653829 - VoIP 5316...@messagenet.it skype italovignoli - gtalk italo.vign...@gmail.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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
