Andrea, Louis please thus is not the sequel to "scotty beam me up". Please try to understand whats written instead of turning the words into a law.

I expect to be there Saturday afternoon, what prohibits us or you to have TALKS in contradiction to presentations. Dont misunderstand me, and no need to flame me (I have filtered that), I think Louis has some good intentions, and I know for sure that andrea is trying hard to get our boat in smooth waters again, so please stop arguing and start planning. Who will reach out and plan a meeting at FOSDEM....do we know who from LO will be present. Sorry for this somewhat direct email, let it be known that I highly respect both Andrea and Louis, but it makes me sad to see a fight instead of a cooperation. We (AOO) have done enough of explaining who we are, now its high time to start showing that we can move things. See you all at FOSDEM and ApcaheCON NA. jan ps. yes I did submit a talk, and yes it will contain some personal views on LO/AOO/corintha market positions. > > Regards, > Andrea. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > > -- Sent from My iPad, sorry for any misspellings.
