And you said it yourself in your application ;)
Please, feel encouraged to go on with your contributions through this 
rejection, and don't forget to apply again when you have little more of 
them (discussion is difficult for us to quantify as a contribution, but 
depending on the issue of it, it could be too, no problem).


Also next time, try to indicate people that can help to reference or 
endorse your contributions, that will help us to value them, we can't 
spend to much time digging every where to find the valuable information.


Thanks for your understanding, and please don't feel sad, I'll be really 
happy to review your application again the next time.

Hello all,

Yes, the truth is that I have only being part of the MAIL-LISTS and my
contributions for now have been nothing more that ideas, comments and

So, as Sophie said, that's difficult to quantify and qualify. If someone in

please let me know.

Re: [tdf-discuss] LibreOffice Math: There is no

Hi

Thanks for the time to answer.

The symbol is not in the wikipage indicated.

It's an ∃ overlapped with /, or barred ∃, the negation of exist (∃).

I wonder if this symbol can be added to Math, and if there is a code 
(unicode) for it.

the Mail lists thinks I have contributed something that is non-trivial,
please let me know.


I'm totally un-involved in the membership application process, so I want 
to spread a few personal thoughts.


First of all, thanks for your application!

Especially during the discussion of the bylaws and statutes, it became 
clear to me that with our membership process we are to create something 
unique even in the world of (at least German) foundations. Our members 
get a lot of powers. This is exactly what reflects our community 
approach, but on the other hand, it means that we -- not just for 
ourselves, but also for the legal process -- need to justify these powers.


I must confess I didn't follow all your mails closely, so don't get me 
wrong on the following paragraphs, this is more an abstract thought 
rather than for your concrete application. :-)


If we were to accept the application of everyone posting a few messages 
to the list, then on the one hand we would have a large membership base, 
which is good. On the other hand, it might get problematic justifying 
that. So, what we are trying to approach with the membership process is 
that we want to actively engage community members, and then granting 
them rights like to vote or to being voted for. To me it is obvious that 
someone who just writes an e-mail now and then is not a member of TDF. 
Someone who does more, and wants to be involved, should be a member 
indeed. Doing more can indeed consist of writing e-mails, actively 
joining discussions, contributing... but it doesn't have to necessarily.


It will be pretty hard to always do the right thing, so we might grant 
some applications that maybe shouldn't, and reject others that we should 
accept instead. We're all humans and make mistakes sometimes. :-)


So, feel free to state what your contributions have been. I know the 
members of the membership committee very well, and they do a tremendous 
job. As many others, they have to read hundreds (!) of e-mails per day, 
next to their day job, family life and so on, so it is rather like that 
some contribution just slips through...


Again, I'm neither involved in the membership process itself, nor do I 
know concrete details for your application, but I wanted to share a few 
generic thoughts. :-)


Florian

As we've been considering the revision of the governance over at OSI, it's been 
clear we need to offer a membership option to the many people who associate 
themselves with Open Source without complicating OSI's official governance by 
having huge numbers of people involved in it who may not be fully engaged. As a 
consequence, we are considering having a membership category where people 
express their support (maybe by making a donation) and gain some benefits 
(maybe an e-mail address or the right to describe themselves as associated) but 
don't immediately become part of the governance of the Foundation. 

Has the Steering Committee considered creating a similar scheme to permit 
association without complicating the official governance?

S.

Not yet, because the membership and the process itself is quiet young. 
But reading the reactions I get yesterday and tonight to the rejected 
applications, I was indeed thinking that some people will get frustrated 
to have no way to be recognized as supporters, and we will miss them in 
our organization for sure.
So we may think to the kind of category you're speaking about, gathering 
in all those who are advocating, giving ideas, small support, ect. I 
don't know yet how to give them feedback however.


Kind regards
Sophie

indeed, that's something we are thinking of, but as Sophie said, the 
whole process itself is quite young, so are these thoughts.


We know from lots of private people as well as corporations (that per 
the current bylaws cannot become member as legal entity, but with 
individuals) that they would like to express their support, e.g. with a 
banner/logo on their website, e-mail forwarder and the like, showing 
that they are in support for TDF. Something in between I like TDF and 
I am a (per statutes) member of TDF, an affiliation that is stronger 
than just expressing support, but less than having official and formal 
rights.


Such a programm that could be called supporters instead of members, 
or maybe fellows or something like that, is good, as it shows broad 
support of our ideas and helps spreading the word.


I guess something like that doesn't need to be stated in the bylaws, but 
we should indeed work on this. Any feedback is welcome, of course ;)

Hi all,

Some information on the Membership applications treated until now :

- Applications approved: 77
- Applications rejected: 39
- Applications differed: 18
- Applications pending : 2

Don't hesitate to send your application, we are very happy to receive 
all of them. If yours is rejected, most of the time it's because we 
don't get enough information. We need to modify the form to make it more 
concise, but don't be shy when you fill it too :)

They are human beings  @ user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum and
totally helpful.



Don't be silly. Of course I meant the forums themselves when I said 
resources, not the people on them. Hence my also referring to the 
hypothetical forums that LibreOffice doesn't provide as resources.

Since the majority of computer users have the Windows OS, it sounds like 
we need to specifically add this character to the set of Math characters.

Sure, but it won't be compatibility-foolproof - but in the meantime
you can add the symbol manually and use it by keyword.

 [insert it by character code]

 Yes, in a Mandriva system as well, although I run out of fingers to type
 such key combination!!

ctrl+shift+u, then release those, type the unicode hexcode, end input
with enter - no need to keep ctrl+shit+u pressed all the time.

 Does not work in Windows...

No wonder as it's GTK's input-method feature, not provided by LO/OOo.

 Since the majority of computer users have the Windows OS, it sounds like we
 need to specifically add this character to the set of Math characters.


As I noted above, I quite agree that these logical symbols should be added
to the list of special characters in LibreOffice Math. However, until they
are, there exists a workaround for Windows users, which even works with
Windows 7 (checked on 64-bit Win7 Pro) ; namely, to install UnicodeInput (
http://www.fileformat.info/tool/unicodeinput/index.htm). Note, however, that
(for me at least), it is not the hex code, but rather the decimal code that
must be used to import the glyph ; thus entering «2204» (without the
quotation marks) in the tool gives me the desired ∄, whereas entering
«089c»gives me a glyph I cannot read ࢜ with the fonts I have installed on
Win7

Nope - that's double conversion you're doing here.. 2204 is already
hex value. that in decimal would be 8708

While probably not so useful for this case, you can also modify
windows keyboard layouts to have access to more key-combinations.

I'm not quite sure I follow you here, Christian ; 089c is the hexadecimal
representation of the number represented by the decimal 2204 ((12x16⁰ +
(9x16¹) + (8x16²)), so I don't understand where the «double conversion»
comes in. As I understand it, 2204 is the decimal and 089c the hexadecimal
code for the glyph «∄», and the first page of Table de caractères Unicode (
http://unicode.coeurlumiere.com/) would seem to back me up. But perhaps this
is a misunderstanding on my part, and if so, I should be grateful if you
would disabuse me

That character is in the UCS and Unicode as:

 U+2204  THERE DOES NOT EXIST  ∄

The whole 2200..22F1 block dates from unicode 1.1, so any font which
supports U+2203  THERE EXISTS  ∃ should also support ∄.

You might need to use the code point to enter that character in
libreoffice.

 Yes, but the 2204 is not a decimal number. 2204 is already a
 hexadecimal representation.

  [...] so I don't understand where the «double conversion» comes in.

 Your converting a number to hexadecimal that is already hexadecimal.
 It is not two thousand two hundred and four, but 2*16³+2*16²+4 = 8708

  As I understand it, 2204 is the decimal and 089c the hexadecimal
  code for the glyph «∄»,

 No. 2204 is the hexadecimal representation, and 089c is a completely
 different character (one that is not assigned)

  and the first page of Table de caractères Unicode (
  http://unicode.coeurlumiere.com/) would seem to back me up.

 No, on the contrary, when you look up 089c there (go to 0890 in the
 leftmost row, then go to the c = 12th column (starting to count with
 0, i.e. the columns with characters are
 0890, 0891, … 0899, 089A, 089B, 089C (=2204), 089D, 089E, 089F

 Nowhere in the table's body, you'll see a hex digit, none of the small
 numbers above the characters contains an a, b, c, d, e or f, while the
 outer numbering does - thus those little number cannot be
 hexadecimal, but those are the decimal ones, they are increased by one
 left to right, top to bottom.

 go to
 http://unicode.coeurlumiere.com/?n=8192 locate the 2200 in the
 leftmost index column, go to the 4th (again starting with 0) column
 and you are at our character U+2204, with decimal number 8708.

  But perhaps this
  is a misunderstanding on my part, and if so, I should be grateful if you
  would disabuse me

 Hope that helps.
