Andreas, Luiz,
Let's take a step back. Obviously verbal assault does not help and
should not be tolerated. So let's breathe a bit and calm down.
Andreas, whatever your views are on what happened, please understand
that we, the people of the Document Foundation, are OpenOffice.org just
as much as you are. You may be upset about what happened, perhaps even
hate me and others, (and I understand you would be) but the fact is:
there is no other world than this one. And in this one, the
OpenOffice.org community has decided to move on to a next level, and
it's called the Document Foundation. For the record, Oracle and the
Document Foundation are very committed to dialogue between each other,
so I'm not calling this a fork yet. And besides, when a project is
moving on while its main sponsor isn't, the fork might rather be
attributed to the latter... but I digress.
This looks like you've got frightened by your own courage. Please face
the facts: you and some other people have decided to fork the project.
That happens from time to time in open source projects and is itself
nothing to get frightened of.
An important point indeed is that both side keep the constructive dialog
open and trying to find compromises between their different objectives.
And they might find out then, if the different objective a worth to
maintain the fork or not.
We know that there were items we need to discuss about but obviously you
don't saw the need for it anymore, since you had in Budapest tons of
opportunities to do so. I still see possibilities to address many
issues we have within the established rules of the project and I'm open
for discussion, so it's your decision on how to move forward,
Martin
