IBM has not been bashing LibreOffice. 

Italo, call me if you want to discuss. There is no 'bashing' going on. 
Please stop. We are both open source projects, Apache and TDF. Let's start 
to have some respect showing please. It will help everyone.

Personal blogs are personal blogs. There is no enmity toward LibreOffice 
from IBM. Let me be clear. Yes, we have some difference of opinion on 
foundations and licensing and so on, but we share a common passion. I hope 
you see this.

What is this talk about a competitor product? The Apache OpenOffice 
project does not seek to compete with LibreOffice. 

It's time to stop this nonsense. 

Respectfully,

/don

I am well aware of all that (IMO some IBM employees bashing TDF on their
blogs and on public mailing lists and forums, does not make it a corporate
decision ;) ). 

Yet, this is also about a competitor product based on the same (original)
source code.

The migration to the Cloud seems quite interesting and fit for a general
discussion list ;)

Especially because a cloud version or cloud connected version of 
LibreOffice
is in TDF's plans?

Yes, probably a better option, yes..

[tdf-discuss] Ways to collect Money for Attendance at Conferences / Hackfests etc.

2012-02-06 Thread Andreas Mantke
Hi all,

I came in a discussion with a core member of another OpenSource community 
(Plone) 
across the topic of collecting money for members that want to attend at a 
Conference 
or a Sprint (we call that Hackfest) and give there a presentation or work with 
others 
on a topic. She told me that the member runs a ChipIn then and regularly get 
the 
needed travel expenses.

Yesterday I read about such a sucessfull chipin. A member want to attend the 
Plone 
conference in San Francisco and give a presentation:
http://www.martinaspeli.net/articles/plone-the-generous-community
and the site to collect money for this travel:
http://frapell.chipin.com/go-to-ploneconf

You could read about the idea and conditions at:
http://frapell.chipin.com/go-to-ploneconf

Maybe this could be a way to get more member / contributors from outside Europe 
to 
our next conference and give a presentation there or participate in the event 
(or if 
Europeans want to participate in an event or LibreOffice conference / Hackfest 
outside Europe).

Opinions?

Regards,
Andreas

So, if nobody objects with serious concerns and a concrete (!) proposal
what to change and who (!!) does the work, I'd like to stick for 2012
with a member voting, and evaluate in time a different option for the
2013 vote.

I hope nobody feels excluded by that, and we can all live with this.
After all, we're learning every day, and constructive discussions can
