mmh, i have still one problem. One motivation for me to go into the

"community".
I think this is an interesting point. Getting people that work on a
'derived product' more involved is IMO positive. On the other hand,
there is the question of credibility.
[...]
The point is: with better behaving/cooperation from you many patches would
not need to be only in "derived product"s but can also be in "vanilla"...
Yes, that is the point mentioned in the following paragraph.
Or patches lingering around for no reason because no one cares about.
[IMO OT, but I doubt that there are no aspects as time and complexity
involved. Anyway, I ám interested in this. So expect continued contact
from me about this.]
Please do :)
a conflict with somebody in the CC who is nowadays the driving force
behind a spin-off (wording of go-oo, i call it fork others derivated
work). It might be not so obvious for many community members what
go-oo really is. And one reason for this is that our project rules
are not accepted as they are. Or only partly.
That's not true. At least not for all cases where stuff ends up in go-oo.
partly = at least not for all cases
True. But jsc suggests that's the main cause of patches not being upstream.
Whereas many bugfixes are not upstream because the get not integrated - even
when the rules are OK to follow.
Yes, that is the point mentioned in the previous paragraph.
be a product development representative for OOo he has to accept the
OOo project rules.
says the one who for a long time didn't accept those either. Should
I remember you about non-free stuff of yours in the code despite this
being a open source (and I do take the official open source definition)
project?
When you write 'for a long time didn't', the problem seems solved?
After years of fighting, yes (And it got fixes by just removing it from
the code and it's just only in wiki now, still non-free)
(There's still some non-free or legally questionable or even non-legally
distributable stuff in the source code, but not in jscs area)
But also this is not relevant in considering the situation we are in
now, IMO.
No, it is relevant. How is it not relevant when people accusing other
people of not caring about rules does not do it himself?
I thought we were not (not yet ;-) ) accusing each other: I hope we talk
about what merits that apply to a council representative. If we come to
a conclusion about that, and find out that there are likewise issues
with serving members, we will have to pick that up.
Kindest regards,
Cor
