Hi,
although being not on duty, at least at the moment, I feel responsible
for sharing this discussion with you. I know that some of you are also
involved with The Document Foundation and LibreOffice, or might be
interested to do so.
I don't want to start a discussion here, nor blame anyone - we all know
these are not easy times.
I also don't know if that discussion from the Council session affects
MarCons - but anyways, I wanted to share this with you, should there be
discussions regarding MarCons roles in the future. Basically, during the
council meetings, there have been concerns that those having a strong
relationship to TDF should not speak on behalf of OpenOffice.org.
As stated, I'm sure things will turn out well for the future in one way
or another, but to prevent surprises, I wanted to share this with you.
Florian

Hi,

I am shocked by what I have read in the minutes of the last Community
Council.
The minutes are there :
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Community_Council_Log_20101014#Community_Council_Session
It is about to force the members of the Community Council which are also
member of the Document Foundation, to leave their seat at the Community
Council under the pretext of an alleged conflict of interest.
to be precisely, it obviously affects not only the members of the
Community Council, but everyone who has a representing role in the
Community.
If I understood it correctly, it also affects Charles, me (being at
least temporarily not on duty, cf. my mail from a few days ago), and
probably everyone else who speaks in public on behalf of OpenOffice.org.
After I temporarily gave up on the role of the Marketing Budget Holder,
all the authorizers have been removed by the treasurer as well, although
they did not suspend their roles neither permanently nor temporarily:

Hopefully the chat between Cor and Martin will clarify some things, but
looking at the current status, it looks pretty much like a lot of people
will not be eligible, so to say, to speak on behalf of OpenOffice.org
anymore.
