I am just curious to hear the reasons.
Rght - well.. I was not the one that requested, or put the suggestion forward, during the meeting. Honestly I'm good with the us mnemonic but others felt that northamerica was more appropriate. I do remember the discussion on the international lists before this mailing list was created. But since then a group has started to form here and within this group it seems a somewhat different thought is forming. Also - there is no request at this point for the change - the only thing that came of that meeting as an action item for me to check on the difficulty of making such a change. From my POV that is now fulfilled and the results have been, obviously, reported back to the group. I think also that there is not yet a consensus one way or the other for requesting such a change. This would IMO take a bit more thought. IF we get to a consensus for a change then a request would be made. Personally I think there is value in continuity, meaning that there should be always some resistance to doing things that cause churning. Every decision involves trade-offs and it does no one any good if we make decisions only to keep coming back to them anew. Anyway - I'm waxing a bit now, so good time to stop this email. Not sure if that helps you any in understanding, hope so, //drew -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/us/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
