Hi :) I think everyone so far is saying that while many people in the community hold a certain person in high regards there is always likely to be one or 2 people that don't share the same view. It doesn't make that person wrong since they have the high regards of an overwhelming majority.
I think both Claudio and Paulo have written very positive remarks about David and seem to value him. Claudio definitely mentioned about the superb work done as translator at events and so on. Regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: David Emmerich Jourdain <jourd...@gmx.de> To: steering-discuss@documentfoundation.org Sent: Wed, 13 July, 2011 15:47:40 Subject: Re: [steering-discuss] Request for changes of Membership Committee Hi Paulo, 2011/7/13 Paulo de Souza Lima <paulo.s.l...@varekai.org> > 2011/7/13 Tom Davies <tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk> > > > Hi :) > > Would his description be more accurate if someone changed it from ... > > "David is the LibreOffice community representative in Brazil." > > to > > "David is a LibreOffice community representative in Brazil." > > > > It is difficult to claim someone is representing any community accurately > > as the > > whole point about a community is that there are many diverse, probably > > conflicting, opinions and representing all those opinions in a fair way > is > > very > > difficult and possibly unlikely to happen.
