Hi Thorsten, Am 16.12.2014 um 10:37 schrieb Thorsten Behrens: I think we all agree that every LibreOffice user is valued, and we very much appreciate them using our software -- at the end of the day, we're producing software _for_ our end users. [...] [...] The individual user though -- on average -- contributes just tiny amounts. So the big picture looks pretty much like Charles' tongue-in-cheek 'almost zero'. So basically you say the same here as Charles says, even if you seem to try to choose more diplomatic words ;-) But I accept that our views differ significantly, and as far as I can see, there's no room for convergence left. So we can stop our discussion at this point. I'm sorry you got this impression. I hope I could clarify a bit. My impression is exactly the same, so what you clarified is that depreciation of users is not Charles' personal mindset but a general thinking in TDF/LibreOffice community. And that is what I disagree with. In my eyes, users - yes, simple users - make a significant contribution when they just choose to use LibreOffice. So I am thankful to each single LibreOffice user, while I hear almost zero / just tiny amounts from your side. This makes me sad. As user, I feel not appreciated. I did not know that this is really your position. Therefore I proposed the representative role. But now I withdraw this proposal as it does not fit to your above-expressed attitude (which is not mine) towards (your?) users. I - for mine - do not believe that my view degrades the contributions of single individuals or payed fulltimers, au contraire: meritocracy in my eyes behaves like democracy here, it rates itself on its attitude to its weakest members ;-) Have a nice christmas.

[tdf-discuss] RfD: Non-corporate user representation?
Hi, AFAICS, TDF does not have any formal Joe Average user lobby. There are BoD, ESC, MC, AB - but the end user community only can send their opinions, needs and ideas to mailing lists or speak up informally in meetings. What about the idea of creating e.g. a User Interest Commitee (or board), which has an advisory role - similar to the AB? Could this help to better channelize / make visible the interests of normal users? There are highly competent people around in mailing lists and forums, who, at least to my believe, should be given a stronger voice than to just send a mail to a list. (I know, the big hurdle is to do it, but nevertheless wanted to express what I think/feel here as a starting point).

Yes... why is that a problem? :-) the bodies you mentioned are bodies that are formed out of people or entities contributing something to the project. This is not per se a problem, but here, the problem starts. You really seem to believe that somebody just using LibreOffice does not contribute anything. In my eyes, everybody downloading the software and starting to use it, *does* contribute. At least their time :-) For me this is somehow obvious. So my concern might come out of need of better appreciation of the simple user. In my eyes, they are part of the community, too - but without a voice, without a saying. Is this, what TDF stands for? What about the idea of creating e.g. a User Interest Commitee (or board), which has an advisory role - similar to the AB? Could this help to better channelize / make visible the interests of normal users? This is a valid concern; so far we have options for feedback that are summarized here: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/feedback/ but maybe we could check if these carry out the right information in an acceptable time. What I'm giving here is also feedback ;-) There are highly competent people around in mailing lists and forums, who, at least to my believe, should be given a stronger voice than to just send a mail to a list. Sure, they can contribute anything from bug reports to marketing materials, website bits, localizations, to code. See above - how much do you value contributing by just using the software? (I know, the big hurdle is to do it, but nevertheless wanted to express what I think/feel here as a starting point).* What TDF has refrained from doing is precisely let the impression that if someone wants something, some developer will autmatically do it. Strange kind of thinking... I can't believe that TDF is gouverned by the fear of promising unrealistic dreams :-) My concern in contrast is that the project thus neglects a whole bunch of good will, possibliy good ideas, and potentially clever opinions. And in addition, maybe, also fruitful dialogs. We believe users can become contributors, and as such we try really hard to ensure anyone can join the project and its activities (but of course this can be improved!). However, advices for free is not something TDF and the project in general is interested in. Did you have a different process in mind? What would this user committee do specifically? Good question. A couple of answers... Appreciate the (needs of the) users... Listen to them... Give them a formal voice... Show officially that every single LibreOffice user is a valued contributor and per se member of the community (however not a formal member, sure, as formal members have kind of an access threshold which I do not question). It's probably indeed a question of appreciation. And of valuing a large group of small contributors. Something like that. However, I still don't know if it's a good idea. That's the reason I put it here for discussion: from my gut feeling it would sound good to have one (or a few) User Interest Representatives in one of the commitees/boards/whatever. Their duty could be to give their opinion to questions from the UX or ESC or QA (like should this button be renamed or not? or what default value should this option have? or something like that) or even pass them to the public and to wisely value the responses they get. And people like e.g. Brian Barker from the users list seem to be extremely sensitive to real needs of simple users, so why not ask for their input? BTW, asking for an opinion in my eyes even reduces the impression of implementing something automatically just if somebody says something - au contraire. It rather signalizes high sensitivity and responsibility by the questioner :-) So that's my idea - but it's just an idea, please take it as it is. It's just the idea of lifting the quality of the project yet a bit if simple users are given a formal advocate. It might be worth an experiment.
