For me, yes, share. And I quite agree that more is better and transparency is
crucial, but also concerned about size/productivity ratio.

BTW: would it be OK if I shared this email on the ASF

Hi All,
You know, I am not sure I've actually met Jim, though I have met Sam and
had splendid dinners with Italo.

Now that the cat is out of the bag, we are welcoming and encouraging
involvement from everyone. The initial draft of the proposal
is located:

and we want to really increase the list of initial committers. As
the main contacts for the OOo and LOo communities, you both are
ideally suited to share the link with your communities, and I ask
that you do so, so that we can have a podling that well represents
the community and ecosystem as a whole.
Cheers!
Thanks, Jim. As I mentioned in my post to OOo's marketing project (I lead
it), and also in my blog, ooo-speak on Blogger, I'm really interested in
establishing groundwork for the reconciliation of the divided communities
and for real, true open-source community focused on OOo technology,
including the ODF.
I will surely rally the OOo community around this flag. But I also suggest
a conference call as soon as can be arranged between the interested
parties. I'm not sure who all those be. But I'd hope it includes ODF
stalwarts such as Rob Weir and Don Harbison, Apache folk, LibreOffice, and
OOo
I don't have (yet) an agenda; that's something to think more about, at
least if we want a productive and not just venting meeting, though there is
something to be said about venting.
Cheers,
Louis
