As you know, there is a server available at TDF for the OOo forum. I am not a technical guy, so I cannot help with setting up the forums, but I am available to answer questions related to TDF in general. TDF is a free software advocate, and has always tried to keep the OOo community together. Unfortunately, there are companies who have gone in a different direction, and people who are clearly against TDF (for many reasons, including the fact that some of them have not been accepted at TDF because we feel they are not behaving properly inside their native language community). TDF is a community project. Volunteers have a say in what they do, and we do not have a specific and immutable TDF way of doing things. Forums would be open to everyone, and to any flavour of the OOo heritage. Of course, a positive attitude would be more welcome that a negative one, as there should always be a positive attitude even in criticizing and in accepting criticism. We are here to help as anyone else, and we are open to all contributors. Our bylaws can help in understanding TDF better. I warmly invite you all to visit our website and our wiki, and to ask questions where you have doubts. I have subscribed to this list on purpose, in order to help forum members to take their decision in the best way for the sake of users (being a user myself). -- Italo Vignoli [email protected] mobile +39.348.5653829 VoIP +39.02.320621813 skype italovignoli --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
