In a previous email here, I got the understanding that there is a visibility 
problem with some of the icons in Oo 2.3.1. If these are true icons, they can 
be edited in Gimp or even recreated with Oo draw, then exported to Gimp to make 
the final new Icons.

 

Can anyone send me some samples of the offensive Icons, and I will see what I 
can do with them. Please send your return email address, or that of the person 
to whom the results should be sent.

 

If there is text involved in Languages other than English, French and Spanish, 
Please send a table of the other languages and the appropriate texts for those 
languages. If there are languages that need RTL or Multi‑byte, I hope there is 
someone who can edit, as I am not set up for these categories.

 

Cheers,

Why is this especially a bad signal "in this period of transition". I 

would think that it is more reality to expect problems in such a 

situation of transition.

But OK, apart from that, there is something more important, IMO.

 

I want to point to an effort, that the community council has already 

agreed upon recently: investigate situations of negative and positive 

co-operation and actions, with as single goal to systematically improve 

relations and co-operation in the whole community.

 

IMO it can be very useful if community members that have either positive 

or negative examples that they expect to be constructive and helpful in 

this effort, contact the council.

There are some obvious recent examples, but maybe more...

Of course having such a contact implies that the council must clearly 

communicate about how to use input and what community members can expect 

to hear. But hey, basically that is what this effort is about.

Since the list discuss@ council is read-only for non-council members, I 

think it is the most practical if people just contact council members 

via the data that is shown on the council page 

(http://council.openoffice.org/#council).  And if you don't know who to 

choose, pick out me, since I am chosen as general community contributor 

representative.

 

I hope you won't spare the council for any critique, remarks (may also 

be positive).

But I also hope that we all try to really learn from what happened and 

support each other in that process. If all that fails, it may be early 

enough to run away :-\

 

Best regards,

Cor
