Re: [steering-discuss] Request for official statement about dedicated logos for community groups
Hi Bernhard, Bernhard Dippold wrote on 2011-06-10 00.25: There has been a reply by Sophie, but I didn't make out any formal SC discussion or decision on this topic. As this covers more than just design and visual identity questions (definition of teams, how to advertise teams and external groups) I don't think that this decision should be left to any of the teams like marketing or design. I'll try to discuss this during the next SC call.

Re: [steering-discuss] proposed bylaws changes
Hi Toki, toki wrote on 2011-06-10 19.16: When I was reading German law on non-profits, my impression was the By-Laws had to specify how members of the board of directors, and any advisory board were selected, and mid-term replacements done. I don't see anything in the by-laws that specifies how mid-term replacements are done. Is that not legally required? we have some rules on that, like Each member of the BoD must appoint one Community Member as deputy who can replace her/him in case of need, and who has the same rights during her/his period of absence or unavailability. or The Chairperson can be discharged and replaced by the BoD at any time. However, it indeed might be needed that we incorporate some more details into the binding statutes we are currently preparing. I have details on this soon. Thanks for pointing this out!

Hi :) I thought the GPL, LGPL MPL were all much more permissive than the Apache licenses? I thought the whole point of OpenSource was that it is contra-intuitive. By insisting on intellectual freedoms, ideas are able to build on each other more easily. Regards from Tom :) From: Charles-H.

Re: [steering-discuss] proposed bylaws changes
Hi :) I think it is better to do the minimum that is required to make it legal and for the rest write in things like Mid-term replacements are to be covered by internal TDF policy which is to be reviewed regularly. In some cases it makes sense to name the specific document that will cover that particular policy but even that can make things unnecessarily restrictive in the future. Please avoid setting things in stone where it's not required by law.

[steering-discuss] Membership Committee wiki page updated
Hi, I just updated the infos at the MC wiki page (improve the generic agenda, so that it is showing, what we discuss; link to the minutes page; add mailing list name for how to contact the MC). And in addition to that: I feel sorry to say, that yesterday's meeting had to be adjourned. I hope, we find a new timeslot within the next days, as some people are really wayiting for their application to be processed. regards, André -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to steering-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
