Of course I think it is. Why shouldn't I ? The fact that the ultimate
interests of OpenOffice.org as a project and a community do not match
the one of the fellowship and even the one of the ODF community itself
are not that much of a problem. At some point we're all in the same
ship, and we could assume we're somewhere near Norway. The next stop is
Rio de Janeiro. Others will get off the ship at Cape Town, and other
stops are scheduled. We can certainly agree to work and live together at
least for the Norway -> Rio part of the trip...

Yes it does. the OD fellowship is one member of this community.

Yes, but you need to be subscribed in one way or another to read the
archives. I'm not comfortable with this but that is a personal opinion.
And you cannot become member of that  community without being  somewhat
coopted too, judging by what the site states.

Unfortunately my schedules are a little bit too hectic between by
business and my (modest) contributions to the OOo  project, and if you
add to this that I do have a social life sometimes, you'll see me
swamped as never before.
Thanks for the invitation.

Regards,
Charles.
