We have a page here: http://www.openoffice.org/pt-br/ I think you would link the social media account to the main official website. > I understand that is necessary to have all efforts more close possible > related to AOO, but in many times, we haven't this velocity and this > can't be a barrier for new volunteers/promoters, IMO. > > And i think that this was a good example in OOo, where we had freedom > to start our regional group, promoting the product and grew because > hadn't a similar space in Oracle. > You still have the freedom to do work outside of Apache, But obviously that is not officially part of the project. It is external. It might still do wonderful work. But it is not officially part of "Apache OpenOffice". So there is nothing wrong with having both an external www.escritoriolivre.org community, as well as a Brazilian community and list within the Apache project. But these are two different things. We need to avoid confusing users about what is official and what is not. I understand that OpenOffice.org did things differently here. In some sense they compensated for strong corporate control of the code by giving more autonomy to the NLC. That was how they "achieved peace" with the community, But we don't have that issue here. At Apache everyone has equal freedom to work directly within the project. -Rob > In other hand, we can (re)discuss this question here. > > Best, > Claudio
