I'm sure we'll do many good stuff together. Thanks, but honored is for sure too strong a word :) :-) Jim, when I say honored, this is recognition of your voluntary participation in our list. It shows that you see on TDF-list a honest space too for dialogue and cooperation. Just as on the ASF-lists. Again, we're honored with your presence here. ;-) I'm an Apache Member too but (unlike Jim) I can't get away without introduction[1][2][3][4] I would also like to announce I have an agenda: I'm a big fan of LibreOffice and think it capable of successfully disrupting the market. Thank you so much for your words, Robert. TDF is really trying to do the best for the community. I'd like to try to open some minds (and maybe change some attitudes) here with the aim of helping to accelerate this process. I've spent too long in the past arguing about FOSS ideology in the past and these days would rather be coding. I hope all we share a community orientation (though we may argue about the meaning of freedom). I will try to avoid being drawing into ideological arguments. Please help me to do :-) We are aligned with this thought. I expect to jump in a little bit more actively with the hope of correcting misunderstandings early I speak for no one but myself Me too. Would this all be okay with everyone? I think so. FWIW I've never been paid to code FOSS and currently my life today revolves around recovering from a serious injury (before you ask, it's much improved allowing me to do stuff like this :-) And Robert, it's very good your presence here as well.
