However, I'm getting mixed signals here: your blog piece at http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2011/06/01/statement-about-oracles-move-to-donate-openoffice-org-assets-to-the-apache-foundation/ seems to welcome this prospective development, while today's post gives a contrary impression. My knowledge of the Office scene and split is minimal, and I expect many Apache folks could say the same. My best impression comes from Michael Meeks's talk at FOSDEM which came as no surprise and left me with the impression that ODF's goals are broadly the same as ASF's: an inclusive community of equals. Hypothetically if this donation had happened before the OOO/ODF split, can I assume that you would you have regarded it as a solution to the underlying problems and never have split? -- Nick Kew Available for work, contract or permanent. http://www.webthing.com/~nick/cv.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
