Re: [steering-discuss] libreoffice.org e-mail accounts
Hi, :-) Small idea: have you considered using Google Apps for the project's mail needs? *So* easy to set-up, *so* easy to maintain, feature-packed, and I'm sure they will give TDF a free upgrade to an enterprise account. Lots of other benefits, too.

Re: [steering-discuss] Decisions about libreoffice.org English main site management
Hi, sorry for stepping in so late -- was on vacation until January 10th and then instantly went ill, finally back to reading through e-mail backlog. IMHO, the raised questions in this thread have been answered during yesterday's SC call (minutes and recording will be online soon). If there are open questions to me directly, just ping me, then I have missed them. :-) Florian -- Florian Effenberger flo...@documentfoundation.org Steering Committee and Founding Member of The Document Foundation Tel: +49 8341 99660880 | Mobile: +49 151 14424108 Skype: floeff | Twitter/Identi.ca: @floeff -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to steering-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
Re: [steering-discuss] libreoffice.org e-mail accounts
Hi, Michael Meeks wrote on 2011-01-14 09.50: In general, IMHO etc. I believe a forwarding setup, as well as being easier fits into most people's existing mail flows rather better. Also using a proprietary software hosted service for our project would not be an ideal choice IMHO;-) I agree. :-) IMHO, Google Apps also doesn't allow easy creation via API/scripts/command line, which is what we need. I envision an interface where all eligible people can maintain their forwarding themselves, and Alex already agreed to hack something in Python for that. I even have a spare server that could take of the forwarding.

Hi Florian, all Florian Effenberger wrote: Hello, as discussed yesterday in the confcall, we're planning to give out official LibreOffice e-mail accounts to people who are community members per the membership committee's decision. [...] My plan is to hand out only e-mail forwarders, not real mailboxes with POP and IMAP, as the latter one requires lots of maintenance. +1 [...] For LibreOffice, I'm a bit hesitant to hand out @libreoffice.org, as this may seem like people are acting on behalf of TDF, causing liability issues. Maybe I'm too touchy, so I'm happy for comments, which is why I am writing this mail. :-) As membership has to be requested and approved in a formal way, I could imagine to include a passus in the formalism where community members declare not to act as representatives or spokespeople for the LibreOffice community or TDF unless they have been approved to do so. Perhaps a mandatory signature like the following would be sufficient: (First Name) Name - LibreOffice community member - In this case a mail address like nickn...@libreoffice.org might be sufficient IMHO. And in case of possible abuse (or deliberate misinterpretation) the community membership can be revoked... If usage of the @libreoffice.org mail address still looks too risky, I'd vote for My plan is actually to have something like volunteer.nickn...@libreofficecommunity.org nickn...@libreofficecommunity.org (or nickn...@libreoffice-community.org) Best regards Bernhard -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to steering-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

Hi Stefan, :-) On Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 04:34, Stefan Weigel stefan.wei...@bildungskreis.org wrote: # decision: SC appoints a team of 4 people that will be responsible for managing the website for a trial period of two months this team consists of: Is this for the international (main) site only? Are we still allowed to use our roles as authors and publishers in Silverstripe, as we have done the past weeks? My interpretation is that the decision concerns the English main site (it does not cover the NL sites). During this trial period, you should not use your SilverStripe author/publisher permissions to do any stuff on the English main site without the prior agreement of the person in charge of content (me). But people can do what they like on the NL sites - it's not our/my business. However, the SC specifically asked me to seek to build a contributor team, as regards content, and I will be doing that (started already - see [1]). So if you're interested in working on the English NL site, there will definitely be the opportunity (although I will be preferring English NL contributors for drafting content). However, you do need to get a remit from me first. No just jumping in. ;-) And, of course, we will be paying attention to feedback from the community. SC, is the above a reasonable interpretation of your intentions?
