It would be better to call it "LibreOffice Unsupported" and "LibreOffice Paid
Support" instead of using the terms "LibreOffice Enterprise" and "LibreOffice
Personal".
You're arguing that using the term "community" creates confusion because of
other open source projects providing the same taggin
I am sorry Simon, and sorry to whoever else was offended by my ageist/crude

What I was trying to communicate is that Gen Z developers have low interest in

Nice, hadn't seen this. Thanks for pointing it out Lionel. I purchased a
license to support it. I like how they've framed it as LibreOffice Vanilla vs
LibreOffice powered by CIB.
I agree with your other points too Lionel and you've communicated it in a way I

(This would also solve the mascot issue because LO could have a vanilla tree as
mascot which would fit the green theme. I'd like to see Tyson Tan make an anime
character out of that.)

K, this is the amazing thing about Vanilla. It's actually black. Well, it's
actually more ochre-ish.
Also, I get Olvier's point about it being too cartoonish to use Vanilla; but I

All of my comments are as a user/donor, so take from them with the importance
you see fit.
I believe TBD is To Be Determined.
I don't know what the acronym USP means.
I like "LibreOffice Technology" a lot more than "LibreOffice Engine".
I still don't like slide 46: "...focused on needs of indiv

Just my 2 cents.

If democraciaOS is not available/up to date I would suggest investigating
https://www.loomio.org/ - They are open source under the GPL-license.

I'm guessing based on the information provided in the titles that the TDF is

Interesting move. Makes a lot of sense considering the challenges with the

Personally; I still think this move doesn't address the fundamental issue

Hi Everyone,
Casual observer here. Lot's of thoughts about the discussion over the last few
months.
I just wanted to share my opinion as someone who has worked in board governance
