Re: [board-discuss] First Questions To All MC Candidates
Hello Andreas, members, community! Sorry for my delay. Last week we had, here in Brazil, the second edition of the Latin American Conference. Happy to say that we had an amazing event! In the next few days we will share more information: numbers, photos, results... Answers below. Thanks for the questions. - What are the criteria to measure the value of a contribution? > This is always an important topic. I believe we are an open and inclusive project and TDF is the formal reflection of that. I also believe that a "contribution" is an individual way to our very well written "Goals of the Foundation" (§2 of the statutes). So, in a big picture, I see value in a contribution when I see the engagement of a member to contribute to reach some of these objectives. Basically, what we can read in §10/a of the statutes. To guide the MC decisions, we also have in §10/b a non-exhaustive list of types of contributions and, more important, I think: the alternative to confirm the contributions with other members. > - Which are the criteria for a non trivial or obviously insignificant > contribution? > For me, in a non trivial contribution we can see the intention to reach our goals in §2. For example, "My contribution is translating LibreOffice to my language and its available in weblate, my user is xyz" or "I have worked to present LibreOffice as the best alternative for my local government during the last months and members X and Z can confirm''. On the other hand, in an insignificant contribution, you can't see clearly our goals as, for example, in "I want to be a member because I use Calc to handle my personal accounting"... For sure that is a gray area between both cases. Again, the reference of other members is a key to confirm or not the membership and, also, the approach of the MC to clarify the doubts about the application. - Would your rating differ from areas of contribution? > No, my decisions are made more from a wide perspective, as I said in the previous questions, than from areas of contribution. But let me point this question in another perspective. What I differ is *my* expertise in different areas to decide about a membership. In other words: it's almost impossible to know what happens in all areas of our project and our organization. All areas are important but, for some of them, a MC member couldn't have the right skills to check if the contribution is valid or not. That's the importance of a plural MC. Sharing responsibilities inside the MC is important to identify from technical contributions (translation, development, infra...) to non-technical contributions (with language barriers, cultural differences, complex politics cenarios,...)

[board-discuss] Self nomination for Membership Committee: Gustavo Buzzatti Pacheco
Dear members & Board of Directors of The Document Foundation, I'm candidate in the next elections to the Membership Committee. Who I am: I'm Gustavo Buzzatti Pacheco from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Husband, father, systems analyst. I have been working in our Community since 2003 (in the age of OpenOffice.org) in many areas of the Brazilian project (documentation, digital inclusion, marketing, extensions,...). I was elected for the Membership Committee in 2016 and re-elected in 2018 and 2020. Why I'm candidate to the MC again: Inside the MC, I have been responsible for handling members applications and renewals with the mcm-script, the core of MC. Since 2017, I submitted more than 1000 renewals and applications on Gerrit for voting by the MC members. Now, I'm running again to support the transition to the new MC Tool, contributing with my both mcm-script and internal process experiences. I also, as a MC member, have contributed, organized or participated in many activities of the Ibero-American Community: certification sessions, BoD candidates sessions, online community meetings; sometimes in Portuguese, sometimes in Spanish or even in English. I'm proud to say that, in late August, we will have the second edition of the LibreOffice Conference Latin America, here in Brazil. I'm in the core team again, with a lot of responsabilities. I think it wil be an amazing opportunity to improve and explore our local community skills and I believe that contributing to reach goals like these and spread this experience to another local communities are part of the tasks of a MC member. -- # -- Full name: Gustavo Buzzatti Pacheco Email address: gbpach...@libreoffice.org Affiliation: Independent (I work at the Federal Electoral Court in Brasil, but my current position in MC is personal and independent and it will remain personal and independent if I'm elected for another term). I will provide information on all future changes as soon as possible. My 75 words official candidacy statement: I want to continue my collaborative work inside the MC as responsible for handling applications and renewals with the mcm-script and, after, supporting the transition to the new MC Tool with my experience. I'm also engaged to representing our global and plural project, understanding different scenarios and kinds of contributions of the members around the World. -- Gustavo Buzzatti Pacheco, member of the Membership Committee The Document Foundation, Kurfürstendamm 188, 10707 Berlin Gemeinnützige rechtsfähige Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts Legal details: http://www.documentfoundation.org/imprint My local Time: UTC-03:00 / CET-04:00

Re: [board-discuss] Re: LOOL is about to be archived
Hi Franklin! I think your proposal is fantastic. My impression is that you, in Taiwan, are having a momentum like we had in Brazil around 2002-2011, but much stronger than ours. Here, in the OpenOffice.org times, when we had a big adoption, the Brazilian government didn't work enough to create and improve the local ecosystem neither contribute to the project, just focused on installation and use. FMPOV, we should go ahead. Seems a possible way to reach some non-commercial & non European markets (better explained by Sophie in some last mails). My question is: as details can be discussed with OSSII, who is the key person to start it? Could OSSII do the first step with a formal proposal to TDF, for example?

Re: [board-discuss] MCC questions ..
the existing election system - assuming the statutes can be tweaked ? + I'm interested in where we have the situation that being too popular can stop you being able to engage at all as a deputy - as we saw with Miklos/Jona in the last MC election, and Kendy in the last Board election. I believe we can always improve a process, but I'm not comfortable to answer a simple yes or no in this case, especially if it could imply in changes in the statutes. If yes, we should check carefully not only all possible issues (remembering that, in both cases mentioned, we didn't have corner cases because one of the candidates involved decided to resign before the final announce by the electoral body) but also if the changes will be coherent according the German law. Thanks for any answers =) Michael.

In general because of the time zone difference and because my collaborative time is almost all occupied in working with the mcm-script (I mean handle applications and renewals to prepare them for voting by all MC members). But I read the minutes and, when I have some questions, I ask other MC members or directly a BoD member. b) What is your personal take on a 'cooling down' periode between being > a member of leading bodies of the foundation, regarding the first > sentence in the statutes § 12? > Interesting question. It could be in our statutes but, on the other hand, jumping from one body to another isn't automatic. We have mature and clear elections in the middle. It gives to the members enough time to ask and discuss the proposals and profiles of the candidates. So, as the members have the final word, I'm ok with our current process. Regards, Gustavo.

[board-discuss] Self nomination for Membership Committee: Gustavo Buzzatti Pacheco
Dear members & Board of Directors of The Document Foundation, I’m candidate in the next elections to the Membership Committee. Who I am: I'm Gustavo Buzzatti Pacheco from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Husband, father, systems analyst. I have been working in our Community since 2003 (in the age of OpenOffice.org) in many areas of the Brazilian project (documentation, digital inclusion, marketing, extensions,...). I was elected for the Membership Committee in 2016 and re-elected in 2018. During the last two years, I'm deeply involved in two fronts: handling and studying the mcm-script, to have better internal processes in the MC, and promoting the project in the Ibero-American Community. Why I'm candidate to the MC again: In 2018, I was re-elected for the MC with the objective to represent our global and plural project. During this time, I dedicated my efforts to improve our internal process based in the mcm-script, as I presented in the last Conference in Almería. Inside the MC, my main task is handling member applications and renewals with the mcm-script, an operational task but the core of many TDF's administrative processes. I also have dedicated my time to work with the Ibero-American Community. Step by step, we did the first Latin American Conference in Paraguay last year. Nowadays, even with all difficulties, we are spreading what we are doing with our montly online event. Our regional community is growing, integrated and open. I’m really glad to be part of it and work to build connections among us and the other communities around the World. -- # -- Full name: Gustavo Buzzatti Pacheco Email address: gbpach...@libreoffice.org Affiliation: Independent (I work at the Federal Electoral Court in Brasil, but my current position in MC is personal and independent and it will remain personal and independent if I'm elected for another term). I will provide information on all future changes as soon as possible. My 75 words official candidacy statement: I’m candidate to the MC again to continue representing our global and plural project, understanding different scenarios and kinds of contributions of the members around the World. I want to continue dedicating my collaborative work as responsible to handle applications and renewals with the mcm-script and improving our internal process to provide better support to our members and our Community. -- Gustavo Buzzatti Pacheco, member of the Membership Committee The Document Foundation, Kurfürstendamm 188, 10707 Berlin Gemeinnützige rechtsfähige Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts Legal details: http://www.documentfoundation.org/imprint My local Time: UTC-03:00 / CET-04:00 -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: board-discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

[board-discuss] Self nomination for Membership Committee: Gustavo Buzzatti Pacheco
Dear members of The Document Foundation, First of all, I would like to say thanks to all my colleagues on the Membership Committee (MC) during 2016-2018. Being part of it has been a fantastic experience for me and I would be honoured to continue my collaborative work as a member of the MC in the next term. Who I am: I'm Gustavo Buzzatti Pacheco from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Husband, father, systems analyst. Gaucho, Brazilian and Latin American. I have been working in our Community since 2003 (in the age of OpenOffice.org), mainly in the Brazilian project in many areas (documentation, digital inclusion, marketing, extensions,...).

Re: [board-discuss] Harassment and lack of code of conduct
Hi all! At least, a Code of Conduct will turn explicit some values that we, as TDF, consider the basis of personal relations in the community. It's a way to represent the maturity of TDF as a plural organization. I totally agree. About the Berlin CoC, it seems an intersting first step. If it will be our choice, my suggestion is that the rule of 'community organizers' should be clarified (will it be a task for the BoD? For the MC?). Best!

This isn't just the difference between British English and Central European English. It is more than a word that is acceptable in some dialects of English, are completely unacceptable in other dialects. Furthermore, some groups perceive simply using specific dialects to be offensive. On the flipside, other groups consider some cultures to be, by definition, boorish, uncouth, and offensive. (Do you need specific examples here?) > While I'm not opposing a code of conduct, A Code of Conduct is a description of expected behaviours. The _Berlin Code of Conduct_ is a useful starting point. There are two groups that quite unintentionally run afoul of it: * The population that treats "No" as indications of an objection, rather than as being "No"; * The population that treats anything other immediate compliance and agreement, as a deliberate affront; Where things get tricky, is getting members of either of those groups, to understand where, and how the boundaries are different. Much more difficult, is helping those individuals learn to recognize such behaviour. > But if it makes feel people better more assured in bringing those incidents to TDF's attention, That is the usual reason for having Codes of Conduct. ### For the record, I'm not opposed to a Code of Conduct. What I have experienced, is that as groups become less homogeneous, so the individual's understanding of what it means, becomes less uniform. I'm not quite at the point of saying that as homogeneity decreases arithmetically, congruency in understanding what it means, decreases exponentially, but am running pretty close to so doing. jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: board-discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
