Hi :) There is a lot of extreme emotion about this area. BrOffice seems to have been excellent for many years, gained a good reputation, good people and did great work. Inevitably any large community will have misunderstandings and different people heading in different directions but all believing they are doing the best for the whole community.
Sometimes people are too enthusiastic and haven't noticed what already exists or how their ideas might already be being implemented. I think it's best to guide people into what is already going on so that they can channel their enthusiasm in a positive direction. The post that sparked this controversy was clearly not written in the person native language so the misunderstanding should be easier to clarify on Brazilian lists. Most of the good stuff about BrOffice seems to have merged into the wider community here at TDF in the LibreOffice community. It has enriched the wider community considerably. Most of the good people are here now, and the structures, websites, the passion and so on. It does still retain a unique identity even if the name has changed. It's influencing the wider community too now :) Regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: "luizh...@gmail.com" <luizh...@gmail.com> To: marketing@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Wed, 15 June, 2011 0:53:11 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Magazine LibreOffice International. I'll try to explain. Once again we are faced with an issue which is not applicable to the TDF and marketing list. This a internal question. Although I do not believe that TDF is so alienated. Did not take the death of BrOffice.org. That still leaves the death of the BrOffice magazine and any semblance of this ill-fated brand. I did not believe it would come back, but came back! I end my participation here this theme because I believe the list does not deserve this kind of discussion. "Brazil, show your face .."
