Re: [board-discuss] Enable TDF to contribute more code to LibreOffice with in-house developers to address our donors specific needs

2022-02-10 Thread Olivier Hallot

Thanks for making it clearer.

I'd like to imagine LibreOffice with myriads of code contributors and no 
users. Better not.


Fact: users donate.

Currently donation is not tied to any TDF obligation, it is an 
expression of satisfaction or good will. Donation is a also pain that 
users go thru in spending time and money to express their satisfaction.


One cent in donation is a manifest of satisfaction on LibreOffice.

It sums to ~1M yearly of users satisfaction.

Other users express their happiness translating, adding linguistic 
stuff, documenting and building culture in askbot, telegram channels and 
regional meetings.


I wonder who is actually listening to users.

Olivier

Hello,

wrt the subject line and reading through this thread comes in my mind:

"contributors of code" is subset of "contributors of anything" is subset 
of "community" is subset of TDF to fulfill its written objectives.


So, everyone and everything being an important piece in the mosaic for 
the big picture for a FLOSS office suite, called LibreOffice.


Perhaps trivial, but it is just as easy to constructively get behind 
these TDF objectives instead of getting lost in the details, treading 
water and getting nowhere.


Cheers,

Re: [board-discuss] Re: [tdf-members] Discussion about options available with marketing plan draft and timetable

2020-07-13 Thread Olivier Hallot
On a upside-down view, my proposal is to have a LibreOffice "as-is" for
download from TDF website as

Download LibreOffice from Collabora (and have C'bra brand/splash)
Download LibreOffice from CIB (and have CIB brand/splash)

2 packages, gratis, open source, same software, no fancy edition, no
enterprise chevrons.

User choose (click for d/l) what looks better for him.

If that doesn't solve the income issues of the ecosystem, it
nevertheless brings the ecosystem companies in front of the user. A
"ad-sense-like" splash display on each time user starts the software.

Please don't.

FWIW, vanilla out of the nerd or English-centric bubble is a flavor for

 Dear community,

 in its last private meeting, the board of directors has made a decision I
 would like to share with you today.

 We decided to offer Christian Lohmaier a work contract, for a limited
 period of one year, part-time with 20 hours per week, specifically for web
 development. This involves developing, enhancing and bug fixing our web
 applications, like our CMS system, and like the new download page.

 Given TDF runs more and more applications that are critical, and has very
 special requirements e.g. in terms of localization and scaleability, which
 are not always met by the upstream products we run, several community
 members have proposed paying someone with development skills - especially
 in PHP, Python, Perl, C, C++, Java - to implement those requests.

 After careful research, the board has come to the decision that hiring
 Christian Lohmaier on a part-time, time-limited basis specifically for
 these development tasks is the most economical solution, and will provide
 huge benefits to the wider community. Code produced will, wherever
 possible, be also filed upstream, to the benefit of the open source
 products we use.

 Christian has been around for many years, contributing a lot especially to
 our web applications, and the board is looking forward to have a fixed
 amount of his time in the future.

 The total costs for TDF, including dues employer, translate to
 approximately 25.000 € per year.

 After the contract has been drafted now and sent to the board in private,
 I hereby ask the board to

 1. vote on hiring Christian Lohmaier, for a limited period of one
 year, part-time with 20 hours per week, specifically for web development,
 at costs not exceeding 25.000 € per year,

 2. authorize Thorsten Behrens and me to sign the work contract on
 behalf of TDF

 Looking forward to working with Christian!
 Florian

IIRC, the planet has 2 hemispheres divided by the equator.

I know when I have my DST settings, but I almost never know when are the

Re: [board-discuss] Reminder: BoD call tomorrow

I will be on a meeting with a customer and I am not sure if I will be
available. So +1 if we need to postpone. Thanks.

 shouldn't there be more items on the list, and given we are all swamped in
 work for the 4.0 release, I even think of cancelling the meeting
 altogether. It doesn't make sense to disrupt the busy day with a call when
 there's nothing urgent to talk about.

 Hello,
 
 the board has previously approved [1] 2.000 € for FOSDEM collaterals.
 Because we would like to opt for higher quality t-shirts, plus produce
 some stickers in addition, I'd like to ask the board to approve an
 additional 600 € for collaterals.
 
 Although the amount sounds rather high, we try to give away t-shirts at
 FOSDEM for donations to get some return money, plus t-shirts not sold
 will be taken to other trade shows.

 Dear board colleagues,
 
 the paperwork is done regarding our first employee, and with that I
 unfortunately have discovered a select few hidden cost items. Combined
 with the payroll provider fees (the contract which you had approved
 end of last year), and some mandatory social security dues, TDF will,
 at this moment, incur € 50.00 extra per month.
 
 Barring any other changes to taxes and social security dues over the
 year, I'd therefore ask the board to approve € 600.00 on top of the
 already-approved budget for employment, thus totalling an annual sum
 of
 
€ 37.307,40 + € 600.00 = € 37.907,40
 
 Thanks a lot,
 

Approved.

improving the portal for LO and TDF: better usability.

6) Travel Expenses for Jean Weber at OSCON: Porposal for funding up to
USD 2000,00 covering parto of ticket and hotel.
7 votes in favor.
Discussion: TDF must have a travel budget to bound expenses, otherwise
any travel is important and we can loose control of the expenses with
severe consequences.

7) Update on membership lists: Our public web pages and our internal
member mailing list need the actual members names, which is not updated
since long time in our TDF portal/ML. MC to provide the latest list and
figures.

 Hello,
 
 I'd like to ask the board for approving my expenses for my trip to
 LinuxTag, taking place May 23rd to 27th in Berlin.
 
 Although I do not give a talk, I'd like to attend in order to represent
 TDF, be at the booth, and also meet some contacts we've been working
 with during the set-up of our foundation.
 
 Since I am not employed and have no other sponsor, I cannot afford
 paying the full trip on my own.
 
 A cheap motel is the same price as the LinuxTag hotel when deducting
 breakfast, so I'd like to stay in the latter one. I expect the total
 costs of my stay to take approx. 280 € for the hotel plus approx. 140 €
 for the train, a total of 420 €. Payment via SPI would be sufficient for
 me.
 
 Thanks,

Chairman Deputy.


Thanks you guys for the dedication and work.

Dear Board members,

according to the current draft of the foundation's legal statutes (as
proposed to the German authorities), the foundation's board shall elect
a chairperson and the chairperson's deputy among the board's members.

In short - these will be the primary legal representatives of the
foundation. While having no special power, legal contracts need to be
signed by one of the board members together with either the chairperson
or it's deputy. ( Beyond that, the board can decide to give procuration
to individual board members.)

As we are going to file the papers really soon, I'd ask the board
members to elect

 Florian Effenberger  as chairman of the board
and
Thorsten Behrens as his deputy.

During the board elections Florian and Thorsten were the candidates who
reached the highest vote rank. Florian is for sure one of our most
active members doing great work in marketing, is coordinating our admin
team and did lots of preparations for the legal setup of the foundation.
Thorsten is well known and accepted among developers (and not only there
;) ), and also helped a lot preparing the legal setup of the foundation.

I think, my suggestions in the interest of the board members and all our
TDF members.
(If not, time to object is right now ;) )


Thanks and regards,

André

Does this sound good to everyone?



It does to me. Just to put in in one sentence:
BoD calls on Wednesday every 2 weeks at 16:00 UTC; we can have more
frequent calls if needed at the same schedule or have other calls on that
schedule.

Best,

Sorry about that; thanks for volunteering  hopefully you'll stand for

Hi,

to sum things up as I have an impression they are diesred:

- We would nominate Thorsten as election officer (who then would step

+1


- and we don't want to freeze membership applications.

Please, all BoD members, cast your vote on these topics in case you 
haven't yet.


What we should agree on soon is whether to run the vote just now and 
wait with the legal set-up until the Foundation is in existence, or 
whether we take the existing MC (needing a deputy for Thorsten, since 
he's in the BoD already) and have a gentlemen's agreement that they 
step back on let's say effective July 1st.


I am in favor of this solution. André, did the MC discuss that during 
yesterday's call? In case we go with the July-1st-solution, all 
current MC members need to agree to be willing to serve in the legal 
body of the future Foundation and be mentioned in the founding documents.


I'm pushing here a bit since November 4th, on which your timeline is 
based, is close.

Yes, but a budget for the spending should be in place. That is 
fundamental to understand the limits of the spendings and will be the 
ultimate criteria for refusing a demand.


2. Should we come up with some sort of travel refund policy, at least 
a preliminary one?


Absolutely. Usual best practices apply. My take:

1) always through expenses report (no valid proof of purchase, no refund),
2) limited spending per day  on food, accomodation and local transportation.
3) approval in advance by the SC/ BoD simple majority.
4) other fees under request (e.g. tickets, registrations fees for 
business events, etc...)

Re: [steering-discuss] Proposal: how to use the GSoC money

Hi Thorsten, All...

Em 17-08-2011 11:09, Thorsten Behrens escreveu:

Hi there,

with GSoC 2011 nearing its end, it's the time of invoicing Google
for the organisation money donations, and the mentor summit travel
reimbursements.

Since we're an accepted SPI subproject, it's easiest to route the
money that way (SPI is a registered vendor at Google).

There are a few nice conventions on how to spend this money, and I'd
like to make the formal proposal to keep them also here with TDF:

  * google pays travel for two gsoc mentors, to attend the mentor
summit in october. conventionally, the org admins go there,
mingle with the other orgs' admins, and conspire to make GSoC
even better next year. note that this part of the google donation
is earmarked for specifically this travel (google wants to see
ticket invoices separately)
  * google pays $500 per student to the mentoring organizations; in
past years, we've used that money (in part) to pay travel
stipends for successful students, to attend the conference.

Proposal:
  * accept GSoC money through SPI

+1

  * reimburse Fridrich and Cedric for their travel to the mentor
summit

+1

  * offer travel stipends to successful students, for the LibOCon

+1

  * cap above expenses at $5000 (the amount we receive from Google) -
or slightly less, does SPI charge us something for handling the
money?

Let's discuss and (if possible) approve this on this Saturday's SC
call.

my vote is to use MS Windows screenshots, for windows-only situations (as in

Thanks and regards

2011/7/18 André Schnabel andre.schna...@gmx.net

 Hi,

 in our latest SC-Call we discussed the issue about taking and publishing
 Screenshots on windows. As we had no quorum in the call, I'd ask every SC
 member / deputy to vote on the statement we agreed in the call.

 The statement is:

 It is noted that several members of the SC acknowledge the existence of a
 legal risk to display screenshots of LibreOffice on Windows, but the risk is
 deemed low, therefore, while screenshots on GNU/Linux should be the default
 ones, screenshots on Windows are also possible.

2011/7/18 André Schnabel andre.schna...@gmx.net

 Hi,

 this topic has already been discussed here at the list and briefly in our
 last SC call. But there is no formal decision yet.

 To keep the MC operational during the next weeks, I proposed some changes
 (approve all current deputies as full members, MC will take decisions
 consensus with a needed quorum of 2/3rd). My proposal to add David Emmerich
 Jourdain did not get consensus (while the other two items seemd to have
 this) - so I'd skipp this part for now.

 Please also note, that this changes would be temporary, as we will have to
 re-elect the MC soon after BoD-elections.

 So I'd ask each SC member / deputy to vote on following two items:

 1. approve all current deputies of the MC as full MC members. (so the MC
 will have 5 members in total - Sophie Gautier, Fridrich Strba, André
 Schnabel, Thorsten Behrens, Cor Nouws  )

 2. approve that the MC should decide on applications in consensus with a
 needed quorum of 2/3rd (means currently 4 members).


 Thanks and regards,

 André

[steering-discuss] LibreOffice presence at FISL 12, Porto Alegre, Brazil, photo album

2011-07-06 Thread Olivier Hallot

Hi

Below the link for the FISL 12 (Int'l, Forum on Free Software), held 
last week in Porto Alegre, Brazil.


Among the pictures and persons,  I should note:

* The interesting combination of the LibreOffice logo and colorful icons 
in the banners.


* The banner with the ODF dove refers to the bill passed in the state of 
Rio de Janeiro, for ODF adoption in the public administration.


* The signature of the letter of intent for more developers for 
LibreOffice, with government officials.


* The crowded booth of LibreOffice...

* Many, many TDF members (Furusho, Klaibson, Eliane, Gustavo...)

Re: [steering-discuss] proposed bylaws changes

2011-06-09 Thread Olivier Hallot
Hi Florian

+1 for the 4 changes.

Regards,
Olivier

2011/6/9 Florian Effenberger flo...@documentfoundation.org

 Hello,

 as we are moving forward with legally setting up the foundation, and
 translate/adapt the bylaws into German, we noticed that some tweaks and
 simplifications are required - in general we feel the shorter these
 documents are, the better it is for understanding.

 Proposed change #1:
 ---

 We should replace the words moral commitment (which are rather
 off-putting to many with a stark view of their integrity and morals) with
 something softer:

 from:
 Every membership applicant must have been active for at least three (3)
 months, and should make a moral commitment to at least six (6) months
 activity (not counting the first three (3) months of fulfillment of
 qualification).

 to:
 Every membership applicant must have been active for at least three (3)
 months, and should make a best effort commitment to continuing their
 activity for a further six (6) months.

 Which I hope captures the spirit, without invoking things that cannot be
 predicted.

 Proposed change #2:
 ---

 Then a separate set of changes  cleanups around the Advisory Board:

 * The /Donor/ definition is not referenced outside of the /Sponsor/
 definition, and so should be collapsed into there.
 * The /Sponsor/ definition is referenced in a redundant, non-normative way
 by the Members/Contributors definition and should be removed.

 from:
 The Community's Members are people who contribute their time, efforts and
 skills independently (individual persons contributing on either a paid or
 unpaid basis), or who may work for Sponsors (refer to definition of
 Sponsors).

 to:
 The Community's Members are individuals who contribute their time, efforts
 and skills whether on a paid or voluntary basis.

 Proposed change #3:
 ---

 * Remove the Sponsors section. This is now only referred to in the Advisory
 Board definition and sections, and as such can be expanded there.

 * Expand the Advisory Board definition.

 from:
 The Advisory Board represents the Foundation's Sponsors. Each Sponsor is
 entitled to appoint one representative. For more information, see Advisory
 Board under Governance.

 to:
 The Advisory Board provides a forum for organisations that provide a
 substantial minimum level of financial, or other support as determined by
 the BoD to meet with the BoD and provide advice. For more information, see
 Advisory Board under Governance.

 Proposed change #4:
 ---

 * Re-work the Advisory Board section:

 from:
 The Advisory Board [AB] is staffed by Sponsors' representatives (refer to
 definition of Sponsors). Each Sponsor can have no more than one
 representative on the Advisory Board. Each Sponsor's representative is
 appointed for a term of one (1) year, but can be re-appointed for a further
 year in office at the end of each term.
 The AB's primary function is to represent The Document Foundation's
 Sponsors, and to provide the Board of Directors with advice, guidance and
 proposals.

 to:
 The Advisory Board [AB] is staffed, at the BoD's discretion by
 organisations that have  made a substantial contribution to The Document
 Foundation. Each organisation appointing a single representative to the
 Advisory Board based on a yearly fee to be determined by the BoD.
 The AB's primary function is to represent these organisations by providing
 the BoD with advice, guidance and proposals.

 Thoughts?

Re: [steering-discuss] Updated draft of the Community Bylaws

2010-12-01 Thread Olivier Hallot

Hi

Some thoughts and questions from my personal experience:

1) I am a bit concerned of the definition of project: It looks like TDF 
will foster several software projects, which is fine for me, but then 
(may be I am a bit biased by OOo structure), how do we manage NLC, L10n, 
Marketing and other projects? Does software development include all 
these activities?


2) I really appreciate *oxygenation*. Letting a chairman ad aeternam 
in place is a source of trouble and will let him build strong and 
unbreakable ties with the BoD, the employees and selected sectarian 
members of the Foundation (the goodfellas), aiming to preserve his 
status and position and offering whatever is needed to keep support on him.


A one or two year term with one further nominaton will ensure fresh air 
(sort of) to the TDF Chairmanship. The leaving chairman can be 
reconducted later, but only after another one took his place for at 
least xxx month.


Oxygenation also improves governance and transparency.

3) About disputes: It seems that the disputes will be settled inside 
TDF by the BoD, then the Chairman. Question: Is it advisable, for the 
sake of transparency, to let the members decide as the upper instance?


4) On conflict of interest, I personnaly prefer 20% figure instead of 30%.

5) Should any member of the Membership Committee (MC) have a veto power?

5a) Oh, by the way, what is the decision process of the MC with respect 
to the aplication? votes by simple majority, 2/3 members, 4/5?


6) How many members will take place in the MC and how are they 
appointed, for how long, how often they meet?


Are we going to allow memebers of the BoD, AB, and the Chariman to be in 
the MC?


7) If a Member stops contributing, such that the merit criteria are no 
longer met, membership status will be revoked after a certain period of 
time.


Does it means that a founding member of the TDF will be revoked if 
he/she does not participate on a xxx period of time? Shall we give them 
a honorary membership (dangerous).
