Hello everyone, This is a short reminder about our policy concerning formal roles and project team leads. We usually refrain from making any sort of statement on whether this or that team needs a project lead or doesn't need one. We believe that in some cases a team will need a lead and in some others, it won't. However any lead elected by the team must understand that it is only an informal role that has been appointed by a social convention, and one that is easily undone.
The Document Foundation and the LibreOffice project acknowledges only project contributors or TDF members; other, more formal roles are described in our bylaws. Similarly, a project team lead or a team cannot engage in or commit to working on itstelf with commercial entities for purposes specific to the team's work or the project team lead. In the unlikely event where such a question were to be seriously asked this needs to be decided solely by the BoD. Best regards, Charles-H. Schulz, Member of the Board of Directors, The Document Foundation. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to board-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
