But, as far as communication with the MC, for membership purpose, I do not want to put the burden on the MC to find translator to be able to handle request in any languages. I see it similar - the main and primary language of the MC, for internal as well as external communication should be English, and it's not the MC's duty to find translators. Of course, looking at the current composition of the MC, we have members inside who speak German, Dutch and French at least, so if they would volunteer to act as gateway, that would be appreciated. Of course, I know you all are busy as many active TDF members, so getting in externals for that task is also worthwile. If the MC need help to translation, I think I can help, 'cause I have knowledge in some languages. I already had offered my help in another situation and I offer again, if the MC wishes. Best, David I would suggest that the burden to find such proxy is on the applicant... and that is actually an exhibit of proper interaction with the community. Agreed. I think practically, we can do it similar to the statutes. The official form and rules are in English, but for convenience, we can provide localized versions, given we find volunteers to translate them. The binding variants, however, should solely be the English ones then (except for legal texts, but that's another topic I don't want to touch here...).

Re: [steering-discuss] Preparing elections for the membership committee
Hi, 2011/10/30 Florian Effenberger flo...@documentfoundation.org Hello, André Schnabel wrote on 2011-10-26 21:48: as we have discussed previously, the paragraphs about the membership committee in the current statutes draft differ in some points from what we have in the bylaws. I hope, I can provide a translation of the relevant paragraphs early next week. But I want to have some discussion on the matter already in the first BoD meeting. a short summary from the last call: - For the legal set-up of the foundation, we need the elected names. This would not happen before December 6th. - In case we have authority approval for the foundation set-up before, this would delay the set-up until the 6th. (NB: When we will have authority approval is hard to predict, but more on that soon on a blogpost.) - For the inital set-up of the foundation, the founder (German association of FrODeV) is free to name anyone for the MC. They will of course stick to the voting decision. As soon as the foundation is in place, however, we have to stick to the election rules set forth in our statues, and they foresee a 45 day advance notification period of the elections. - In a nutshell, this means: We either can decide to nominate the current MC as the first MC and have a gentlemen's agreement that they step back as soon as the foundation is in place, leading to new elections about 45 days later on. IMHO, I don't see why can we not adopt this option. The current MC proved that was (and is) impartial and deeply focused on meritocracy, essential factors for an MC. For me, the current MC proved that's fully deserving of this gentlemen's agreement. I vote for this option. Best, David - Or we indeed wait until the current election is done and nominate those voted on for the first MC. Although it might mean a delay, I tend to go for the latter option. This is much cleaner, and as we don't know if we will have authority confirmation before the 6th, we're basically talking about a delay of 2-4 weeks, so be it. Thoughts?

You got my vote, dude! ;-) Best, David 2011/9/29 Jomar Silva homem...@gmail.com Excellent, Olivier !

I am a former researcher and executive of IBM and Oracle. I am involved with open source software since 2001, where I started working into the translation of OpenOffice.org for Brazilian Portuguese. I am a former member of the OpenOffice.org Community Council and founder of The Document Foundation, as well as a member of the Steering Committee. Today I am working as consultant in a large LibreOffice deployment project in a Brazilian enterprise and I am advising several LibreOffice projects and initiatives in Brazil. My Document Foundation resumé Since early 2010 I got involved into the design and birth of the Document Foundation and I became member of the Steering Committee since the beginning. During the last 12 month I have been participating into the decisions of the SC and I worked to allocate as much Brazilian resources as I could to TDF. I still hold the position of translator for Brazilian Portuguese (a market place well above one million users) and I have contributed into several bug reports and features lists necessary for large enterprise deployments. I also did some bug fixing directly into the code, less than I would like to, but time is short and the matter is complex. I have used my professional connections to leverage LibreOffice and TDF in many public companies and in government and I am actively pursuing the goal to increase the number of contributors to LO development. Why am I applying for the BoD? After one year of existence, the enormous amount of TDF members energy and sharp professionalism lead us to great achievements. We rock. The road ahead however seems to be another challenge for the Foundation: Secure the positions already obtained and move to address the needs of the multiple faces of the community, from individuals to enterprises, while understanding the marketplaces forces that will drive TDF ahead. Of great importance, it will be necessary to design and implement the correct business model for the Foundation sustainability and LibreOffice evolution. These are fields I am willing to contribute with my industry experience, connections and personal energy. I am available for further questions.

Re: [steering-discuss] contracting a lawyer for the foundation's set-up process

Le 12 août 2011 17:34, Florian Effenberger flo...@documentfoundation.org a écrit : Hello, as many of you know, we're right before filing the application for legally setting up the Foundation. For the process of filing, it is highly advisable to have a lawyer assisting us and acting as official point of contact. Not only will some legal topics come up, but also being represented by a lawyer greatly helps in being perceived as serious entity by the authorities. Among the lawyer's tasks there will be the communication with the authorities, acting on legal questions, and preparing the filing documents in a way they fit the legal requirements. Unfortunately, German law makes it very complicated for lawyers to act pro bono on these kinds of things (which is different to e.g. the US), so we plan to officially contract a lawyer to assist us. In order to have legal advice for the process, which might take a few weeks, I'd like to ask the steering committee to approve a sum of 3.000,- € in total. This is the sum one of our preferred lawyers has mentioned to us, and given that several hours of work for professional services have to be invested, I consider that amount very well spent. Depending on the lawyer and the services used, hourly rates of about 50-150 € are fairly normal in Germany, and I expect the process to take a few hours of time to be completed, especially given the speciality with the membership we have come up with.
