Re: [board-discuss] Enable TDF to contribute more code to LibreOffice with in-house developers to address our donors specific needs
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 Em 10/02/2022 08:30, Stephan Ficht escreveu: 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.

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

Re: [board-discuss] hiring Christian Lohmaier
+1 Olivier Hallot The Document Foundation Em 10/06/2013 13:15, Florian Effenberger flo...@documentfoundation.org escreveu: 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!

One of them is required to be present or represented for having a quorate call. The Board of Directors at time of the call consists of 7 seat holders with deputies. In order to be quorate, the call needs to have 1/2 of the Board of Directors members, which gives 4. A total of 7 Board of Directors members are attending the call. The invitation to the call has been in time, fulfilling all formal requirements. The call is quorate. - From now on, a quorum can be reached with a simple majority of 4 votes. 1) Investment for Capital stock: 2 options, one not so secure the second as traditional/conservative savings account (rates at 1,4% per year). 7 Votes for savings account 2) OASIS membership.

Andrew Jensen explained the issues and the paperwork to be carried and will get back with more details. 5) FreeDesktop Bugzilla optimization service: BZ is underperforming and hitting development. Need better tunning as well as improvements such as OpenID and more. Estimated cost of EUR 5000,00 for high-level consulting in BZ, to be carried by FDT specialists. 7 votes in favor. Discussion: while spending for IT services, consider spendings in 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.

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. +1 Cheers, -- Thorsten Regards -- Olivier Hallot Founder, Steering Commitee Member - The Document Foundation Voicing the enterprise needs LibreOffice translation leader for Brazilian Portuguese +55-21-8822-8812 -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to steering-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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
Re: [steering-discuss] Call for SC-vote: Using (Windows) Screnshots in TDF materials
Hi my vote is to use MS Windows screenshots, for windows-only situations (as in the install) 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. Meeting minutes are at: http://wiki.**documentfoundation.org/TDF/**Steering_Committee_Meetings#** Minutes_2011-07-13http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/Steering_Committee_Meetings#Minutes_2011-07-13 regards, André -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to steering-discuss+help@** documentfoundation.org steering-discuss%2bh...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.**documentfoundation.org/** Netiquette http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.**documentfoundation.org/www/** steering-discuss/http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Olivier Hallot Founder and Steering Commitee Member The Document Foundation -- 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
Re: [steering-discuss] Call for SC-vote: Changes in the Membership Committee
Hi 1) +1 2) +1 regards Olivier 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).

[steering-discuss] LibreOffice presence at FISL 12, Porto Alegre, Brazil, photo album
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...) http://www.flickr.com/photos/64856924@N07/sets/72157627127577896/with/5907592550/ Kind regards -- Olivier Hallot Founder, Steering Commitee Member - The Document Foundation Voicing the enterprise needs LibreOffice translation leader for Brazilian Portuguese +55-21-8822-8812 -- 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

Re: [steering-discuss] proposed bylaws changes
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] formal vote on Cor Nouws as deputy in the membership committee

To start work on the membership committee soon, all of its committee members are needed. It is possible, however, that Sophie might be unavailable for some time. To avoid the membership committee being unable to work during this time, Cor Nouws should serve as her deputy, taking over her responsibility during her time of absence. A 2/3 majority out of the eight SC members is needed, so please cast your vote now.

Hi all, This is an interesting news that passed too quickly among the LO folks.

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