Hi all,
I think it is justified to spent some more words on this open letter.
And do so already now.

This statement, on which people have been encouraged to vote on, is false.
There is no decision nor proposal for the "definitive closure of the
repository of what was LibreOffice Online". And people that worked on
this statement/open letter should know that (1).
It has been explained more than once, also on this list, that no one is
blocking anyone on working on the code and project.
More in detail: there are clear conditions for atticization for projects
and also for de-atticization of projects. These normally applies to this
the repository as well.
All has been agreed upon by the active LibreOffice contributors in the ESC.
And the reason is to prevent ghost-repositories to hang actively on
TDF's infra. The reason is not to stop anyone to work on the code he/she
loves. How beautiful and simple it that.
[ For reference:

better info I guess) see e.g.:

As a foundation committed to eliminating the digital divide in society
by giving everyone free access to office productivity tools, the most
important thing is to demonstrate that we are committed to offering
alternatives to all those individuals and organizations that lack the
resources to hire corporate services.
No doubt about foundations objectives, I refer to a workshop/discussion
that will be held at the LibOCOn in Milan.
Something that - as far as I've noticed - has only been receiving
support (2).

and replies to that!
...
To avoid the process of atticization, as the clock is already ticking,
and, at the same time, emphasize the global nature of the foundation we
urge full consideration of the two proposals that have been made so far.
...
And finally wrt these proposals: no one is blocking anyone to work on these.
Greetings,
Cor
