Re: [tdf-discuss] Questions from the sidelines.
I believe he is asking Why would we want the code to begin with at this point. at the time of the fork, we already had all the code that was in OOo up to that point, now LO has added more code, cleaned up a lot of code, and has the backing of several large Linux companies. So why at this point do we need or want to go back to being known as OOo?

Re: [tdf-discuss] Pretty up your name in the wiki stats

However, I still think real names are nice and I kept the table for transformations. I am working with Florian Effenberger on getting the real names directly from the Wiki installation though, so in the long-run this table might not be necessary. As for the favicons, could it be that your ISP inserts one? AFAIK there is none on the libreoffice.org installation, but I really don't know how it's set up and I don't want to fiddle with it :). Sebastian I better go and add some to page to make it nicer, now that everyone will be clicking on it to see what is on there. :) James Walker -- Unsubscribe instructions: Email to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines: http://netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived ***
Re: [tdf-discuss] [SC] How to define Membership within TDF?
I decided I would try to convey my thoughts on this now First I had a couple of questions How many member do we envision being on the SC? How many projects does the SC envision having under the TDF. Right now I see the need for LibreOffice, and I really do see a need for a couple other projects. I would love an android app that opens LibreOffice files. maybe even a BlackBerry app and some other smartphone apps. If this is the case, I see the SC being made up of those that are currently on the SC at the present and then Representatives of the Projects that are under TDF. I feel that the projects should vote on those member that will become members of the SC. How many from each project should be related to the size of the project. The problem as I see it is how do you define the amount of contribution each person gives, cause in my opinion even the users are contributors to the project, without the users there would be no need for the project. So does simple registration make you a member of the project, or do you need to join one of the group that we will have? As for TDF, I would not be opposed to the members of TDF deciding who can join, say you want to join TDF, you send in some kind of resume, and the current members vote you in, or out, if they feel that needs to be the case, or they can ask for clarifing information if that is needed. Would I be opposed to some kind of membership fee to join TDF, no, I have been a member of several organizations that require a membership fee. TDF needs some kind of budget and we all enjoy using the software. I see no issue with it really. later as the project progresses and we get more member of TDF, I see elections to oppoint members of the SC from the larger TDF membership. Now keep in mind being a member of one of the projects does not mean you are a member of TDF. But you would get to vote for the representative to the SC for your project. these are just a few of my thoughts, please feel free to comment.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Basic question about Oracle asking OOo community members to leave
The one thing that has always bugged me is. How is it any different having LibreOffice and someone being in both project, and the OracleOffice part. I mean are they not competing projects. Would Oracle not prefer someone to go with there version of OpenOffice.org and pay them for support on it. How then can an employee, someone being paid by Oracle, then sit as a member of the Community Council, or have an active role for the project. I really see no difference in the two at this time. Because of these reasons I believe that no one should resign their OpenOffice.org roles at this time. Stick to what you have been doing and see what happens. I have no intention of putting OpenOffice.org in a negative light. I have been a part of the Community in some way or other for 8+ years and have no reason to do anything negative. -- E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
