If you have a look at the history of TDF staff, you will see that only very few people have ever left it. I am very pleased that we have people working for TDF even for around 10 years, and most of the people stay for loooong periods - which is great for continuity of course. > But I think you as the general manager of > a commercial company should know better (?). Unfortunately you are very confused about my role in Collabora it seems. My role is "People Development Manager" - which is a nice sounding title for a mentor. I have no company shares, and no executive role there. > Because a > commercial company has to calculate in unforeseeable problems and > realize a profit, the price for a tender is much higher. On the other hand, the commercial company has to assume there are other competing companies in the process, so every bid is (and has to be) risky and as cheap as possible. I am not directly involved, but I have heard that Collabora were actually losing money on some tenders, so TDF got a much better deal than it would do with internal developers. And it is not Collabora's fault, it is one of the reasons why "tendering" exists as a tool in general. > Over all I think the above answer shows that the role of a general > manager of a commercial company, which has some interest in TDF > tendering development, has a huge CoI with the TDF role(s). I am not a general manager, I have no personal interest in the tenders and I have no shares from the tenders. I have no CoI in the process of drafting the proposal. I have large experience in development and in mentoring, so I have the experience and skills needed for drafting the proposal. > Thus I'd > expect that this CoI should be solved asap and the appropriate > measures > taken to prevent TDF from further damage. Are you, a TDF non-member, actually asking me, an _elected_ Board Member, to step down? That is a very ridiculous demand.
