Dennis, I can’t claim to be enamoured of your legalistic phrasing and parsing of whether any endorsement of the leaflet would be in keeping with the ASF’s articulated (and tax sensitive) mission. I appreciate your point, however. It is not a trivial observation and does merit discussion, action, by the community. But the language is somewhat off-putting, or at least it was with me. The blunter language of your last paragraph is much more to the point and comprehensible. It’s something we in this community can work with. Note, our support of the plugfests has a long history, antedating AOO. "Support" does not mean monetary; it means, here, a support of the cause of the ODF. Specific instances would be Roberto participating as the AOO rep. last ODF Plugfest. (My prior participations were under my own recognisance or as a member of Oasis; same for Rob, I think.) If we, the community want to discuss supporting the leaflet, I’d suggest we get on it. I’d like to set a deadline so that we can let Stuart know sooner than later. I’d also like to learn if we are going to send someone to the event. As time drips into the sewage of the past, the answer edges toward "no." :-) louis > > - Dennis > > From: Stuart J Mackintosh [mailto:s...@opusvl.com] > Sent: Friday, September 4, 2015 10:27 > To: orc...@apache.org; dev@openoffice.apache.org; 'Roberto Galoppini' > <roberto.galopp...@gmail.com> > Cc: 'Graham Taylor' <gra...@openforumeurope.org> > Subject: Re: ODF Plugfest: participation and leaflets > > Dennis, >> Do you have a hard deadline, and is that imminent? > Sorry that this came so late for you.
