Re: [board-discuss] Merging Of Contributions
Hi Simon, I think, a large delay between review and submit is not a technical problem, but it needs a person who is responsible for an overview. A technical problem is to provide a tool for a quick overview. However, the dashboard-links from Guilhem look promising. A large delay is frustrating for the volunteer contributor and is contrary to a welcome culture.

Re: [board-discuss] Merging Of Contributions
Hi Regina, It's still the ESC's role to resolve it, not the Board's. All the work on code is done by individuals, and open source projects don't get to instruct individuals on what to do or when to do it - there is no SLA. If none of those individuals are interested in prioritising any particular patch, the correct next step is to raise it at the ESC, which exists expressly to resolve differences between the individuals working on the code. TDF's Board is not expected to intervene in the ESC's work beyond its recent approval of ESC appointees. The request here is out-of-order. While delays are frustrating - my own bug reports remain unfixed after a decade - it is also very frustrating to see a contributor circumvent TDF's well-tested processes, especially for political ends.

Re: [board-discuss] First Questions To All MC Candidates
Hello Shinji, Am 31.08.22 um 23:00 schrieb Shinji Enoki: Hello Andreas, all, Thank you for your questions. - What are the criteria to measure the value of a contribution? - Which are the criteria for a non trivial or obviously insignificant contribution? - Would your rating differ from areas of contribution? I will write my understanding including this premise. I'd appreciate it if you could point me out if I'm wrong. We chose adopted a bottom-up approach contributors supporting and meritocracy, in the governance model of The Document Foundation. The reason why MC check contributions in membership applications is to make TDF's governance system work. Contribution activities are required to become a member, so it necessary to check it. While § 10 is obviously referenced, we often refer to previously discussed cases. This is not a standard, but it can be helpful. As far as I can see, MC seems to be trying to maintain fairness by having MC members with various positions and contributions come together and discuss. That approach isn't perfect, but it seems to work reasonably well. Of course, it's for fairness, doesn't improve transparency. For fairness and transparency in membership applications, a little more detail criteria might work. However, there are many different patterns of contributions, and it is not easy to create criteria that work well. Still, there may be a way to create MC documents with criteria that are a little more detailed than § 10. thanks for your answer and explaining the problems you and the whole MC has to deal with.

Hi all, On 01/09/2022 19:31, Simon Phipps wrote: TDF's Board is not expected to intervene in the ESC's work beyond its recent approval of ESC appointees. The request here is out-of-order. I was wondering as well why Andreas would send a request to board-discuss for a patch. While delays are frustrating - my own bug reports remain unfixed after a decade - it is also very frustrating to see a contributor circumvent TDF's well-tested processes, especially for political ends. [Communication issue: I'm very surprised to see that you are accusing someone of having "political ends" as if it was the most normal thing to say. This is not just a "passive aggressive insinuation", it's an actual direct accusation and if you have evidence of mal-intent you should present it together with the accusation. Keep in mind that some got a CoC complaint for a lot less than that (sorry I can't disclose names as complaints should be kept private).] Looking at the request, then at the patch and the latest description provided I understood that Andreas is working on a project that has a very short window of opportunity set by the Board itself and he's doing his best to get some results as fast as possible. So in a way I kind of understand the attempt as the board itself was involved in setting limits that make what is doing very time sensitive even if it's hardly a justifiable excuse to bypass standard procedures. While I agree that the ESC should be involved in code related matters this seems to go beyond that as variables in LibreOffice core have been changed to represent the initials of a project not hosted at TDF (LOOL -> COOL) and if I've understood well the change breaks other projects that use the initials of the project still hosted at TDF (LOOL). That, IMHO, isn't just matter of "code" as a change that introduces a commercial product name in LibreOffice core should have been cleared with the board which I believe would have not agree to it as LibreOffice should be "brand neutral" and create a level playing field for all contributors being voluntary or commercial. Not being a developer I might get things mixed up but I guess the board should evaluate if the necessary policies and checks are in place.

Hi Andreas, On 01/09/2022 20:22, Andreas Mantke wrote: I think there should be clear rules that there should not be any barriers or something similar in the LibreOffice vanilla code. But once I saw the changes from 'lool' to 'cool' in the source code I wonder why the ESC didn't discussed and stopped it. I've noticed your suggestion after I sent my other answer. I'm surprised that the ESC didn't contact the board to notify us that some changes were more like a "branding" changes that actual improvements necessary in LibreOffice core. I don't know if the ESC could have done anything about it, I guess it's hard to spot a cool among many lool but then we'll have to notify all developers that branding, which on top of it break things for other projects, in core is not or should not be allowed.

Re: [board-discuss] Merging Of Contributions
What a silly thread. Some neutral name for the integration should be picked and implemented and/or both names be accepted; I would suggest 'lok' for LibreOfficeKit. Commit/revert wars are a nonsense that helps no-one - I would expect the ESC should intervene and cut out the politics. There are of course three big problems in computer science: naming things, and off-by-one errors - so it's no real surprise.

Hi all, On 01/09/2022 22:47, Michael Meeks wrote: I would expect the ESC should intervene and cut out the politics. I believe that politics have nothing to do with what happened. Your grep shows that there aren't that many "lool" that could be renamed "cool" by mistake so I guess it's unlikely for it to happen again. I've noticed the very positive and prompt review of this incident by Thorsten so it's nice to see that solutions that work for all can be found quickly when the will is there ;-) Ciao Paolo -- Paolo Vecchi - Member of the Board of Directors The Document Foundation, Kurfürstendamm 188, 10707 Berlin, DE Gemeinnützige rechtsfähige Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts Legal details: https://www.documentfoundation.org/imprint OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature
