Absolutely. So - the original plan here was not just just to do a "Fedora vs. RHEL" style marketing separation of LibreOffice derived products - but to ensure that the "LibreOffice Enterprise" side of this - could only be used in products backed by a suitable number of a combination of (say the average): * certified developers * contributing developers by providing a clear economic incentive and a distinct postioning we can simultaneously highlight those who take but don't contribute, and also provide a clear economic incentive for them to contribute. > Finding ways to expend the ecosystem is vital too. Exactly - so of course, where there is an economic incentive, investment and hence more developers, a wider ecosystem etc. follows behind =) I believe Bjoern sketched a similar idea in his recent mail too =) Clearly - we need more time to elaborate & communicate how all of those pieces could fit together to make something that drives TDF's mission like a rocket ship =) HTH, Michael. -- michael.me...@collabora.com <><, GM Collabora Productivity Hangout: mejme...@gmail.com, Skype: mmeeks (M) +44 7795 666 147 - timezone usually UK / Europe -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: board-discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
