Hi Pedro,

(2) Finding service customers at this point in time is also not
promising as AOO 3.4 is not out yet.
Why don't you just help doing that? Waiting for it will not make it
happen earlier. It would show the world that you have an active roll
in OpenOffice development, also to your possible customers. It's also
a goal of your organization, isn't it?
All good points but I'm not relaxed as you are because you have a
sponsor and a salary - I don't.
I know that and I did not want to offense You. I'm happy that I can
continue to support AOO, in the name of a new sponsor. This fits well
with my goals to make the office better for everyone (esp. Drawinglayer
:-)). I hope the best to you and that it may help you too (hopefully not
too late) when we are able to bring out AOO3.4.
If we can't convince customers, get
donations or find sponsors, I just can't afford to be here any longer!
It's as easy as that. Just help doing AOO 3.4 would be nice, but won't
bring any funding for us. We won't be here when AOO 3.4 comes out. We
need funding now!
I had hoped that you already got some donations, at least to have some
more time. I also know that we were not simply thrown out (there are
some rights for employees in this country). Of course you are free to
decide how to spend your efforts.
I'm just dreaming of working closer together with you and other former
colleagues. Maybe I'm too egoistic with that, but it's just a wish.
I could just not suppress my thoughts that we could be closer to a
release candidate when we would have joined forces early. I also think
it could have avoided some headaches on all sides. I'm sure you have
taken into account this possibility early and it's chances for showing
active development on 3.4 and to find sponsors evtl. by the possible
public effect of this, but decided not for it. I can imagine requests
for donations on your side accompanied with statements like 'Support us
supporting AOO3.4, see here what we have done so far:
<links>...<links>'. This would be appealing to everyone, hopefully
leading to more
support.
Just my 2ct...
Best wishes!
Goetz
Goetz, all the best to you and the others.
