I just arrived in Orlando, got setup in the Hotel, so I should be able to join.
If not, I have just been to optimistic wrt to the infrastructure here. ;)

Same for me ... most probably, I'll still be on the road tomorrow. If
possible (but chances are low), I'll join ... however, my best wishes to
the new BoD members. And thanks to the recent SC for handling stuff
during this exciting first year :-)

Cheers,
Christoph

And I just got the news that a family reunion I thought would start
around 6:30 would actually start much earlier, around 15:30. So I won't
be available... this sucks. I'll do better next time.

I might have REAL problems in getting a connection, as I am in Prague 
and I definitely cannot use my mobile to make the call (as it will cost 
a fortune). I will try to find a place with a free wifi connection, to 
use either skype or my voip provider to make the call.


Just in case, I will share my thoughts on the agenda later today.

I am still trying to make up my mind after the LO conference and the 
LinuxCon. We must leverage our visibility in the Linux environment, and 
improve it in the Windows environment.


Here in Prague, I've been approached by several Oracle people who told 
me "I've read quite many articles about you, and I just wanted to shake

Also, all the media I have met have been enthusiastic about our PR 
activity, which means that we must improve it and make it even better 
than it actually is (in my opinion, it has been extremely good for free 
software standards but just average for professional PR standards).


Anyway, lots of information and thoughts to digest as soon as I will be 
able to stop for a few minutes in front of a keyboard.

[steering-discuss] confcall tomorrow

2011-10-28 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hello,

tomorrow, at 1400 UTC, the next conference call takes place. Right now, 
we are in a transition phase from the Steering Committee to the Board of 
Directors, so I would like to explicitly invite those who are new with 
us to join this call. It would be ideal if we had most SC and BoD 
members to hand over the duties.


As usual, all the dial-in details can be found at 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/Steering_Committee_Meetings#Dial-in_Details


We maintain an agenda at 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/Steering_Committee_Meetings#Agenda and 
everybody is invited to add their items beforehand, which is much better 
than deciding on them during the call. ;-) I, like the last year, 
volunteer to moderate these calls, and I hope we always find someone who 
is willing to take notes. :)


Although most of our calls are public, sometimes and according to our 
bylaws, there are topics with confidentiality, so there sometimes is 
also a so called private call.


All BoD members will receive instructions on 1. how to moderate the 
public call/open the room and 2. how to join the private call via a 
separate e-mail. For all SC members: These dial-in data is unchanged, 
and of course, you are invited to join a private call as well tomorrow.


Looking forward to hearing you!
Florian

list will be RENAMED (was: Re: [steering-discuss] renaming this list)

2011-10-28 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hello,

thanks for all your feedback on this. I hereby announce that this list, 
steering-discuss@documentfoundation.org, will be *RENAMED* to


board-disc...@documentfoundation.org

effective next Wednesday, November 2nd, at 1400 UTC. (Remember: There is 
a daylight savings change in many countries the Sunday before, so it 
will be 1500 German time then.)


@Drew: Can you take care of Nabble?

I will try to provide an alias for a while, but chances are it doesn't 
work - so in case an e-mail bounces, you know the change is in effect. 
:-) I will also send out a further note to this list when the change is 
done.


Our own archives will change their URL, but keep working. External 
archives will be updated soon thereafter.


Florian
