Please note: SUN was a very very community-friendly company, but SUN did not allow any independent community, and the community wanted to change it with an independent foundation. Today the TDF is not independent, but depends on several companies, instead of one. These companies may also be very community-friendly, but again there is dependency and this dependency is actively exploited. > I think this is just my crazy idea. > And I think a focus on a participant community is a way to > make us special for others to get involved. I did not mean the idea is crazy. > What would be your way? Any time to work with the forces that we have concretely. We should not set priorities that can be misunderstood as conditions. What I would like is a community that is aware of the necessity of its independence, but is not afraid to work with companies. I mean: A strong community is even stronger by the help of companies, but a weak community is further weakened by the interference of companies. greetings, Jörg > > > > > > > >Gruß > >Jörg > Gruss zurück > Peter Oh, I see, I have greeted in German, that was no special purpose, only coincidence. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
