Just check our own marketing material [1] that compares LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice on the number of releases and code changes. That's what attic policy is trying to avoid.

Given that repositories of LOOL, LODE, OSSII are competing the scarce resources, i.e. developers.

Dreaming is free, but not for TDF, the great effort needed for this matter, without establishing a plausible plan, will lead us to invest resources, material and personal, perhaps for nothing, detracting them from other areas, also important, too much risk. OTOH, sorry but having Andreas (hope not misleading the person) as reference does not have my support, I have always seen in him a bit of a bitter attitude. I also don't like the confrontation with the companies that support us, instead of finding ways to work together, seems to me the reason to be here. While I think there is no other solution, especially on this matter. Hope we can get some bridges back. I can give +1 if a credible plan is established. Regards.

Hi all, I think it is justified to spent some more words on this open letter. And do so already now. Daniel A. Rodriguez wrote on 10/07/2022 22:42: We, the undersigned, would like to express our great concern regarding the definitive closure of the repository of what was LibreOffice Online. ... This statement, on which people have been encouraged to vote on, is false. There is no decision nor proposal for the "definitive closure of the repository of what was LibreOffice Online". And people that worked on this statement/open letter should know that (1). It has been explained more than once, also on this list, that no one is blocking anyone on working on the code and project. More in detail: there are clear conditions for atticization for projects and also for de-atticization of projects. These normally applies to this the repository as well. All has been agreed upon by the active LibreOffice contributors in the ESC. And the reason is to prevent ghost-repositories to hang actively on TDF's infra. The reason is not to stop anyone to work on the code he/she loves. How beautiful and simple it that. [ For reference: 1) (lazy looking at my own mail, but there are more around with even better info I guess) see e.g.: https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/2022/msg00746.html https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/2022/msg00771.html ] As a foundation committed to eliminating the digital divide in society by giving everyone free access to office productivity tools, the most important thing is to demonstrate that we are committed to offering alternatives to all those individuals and organizations that lack the resources to hire corporate services. No doubt about foundations objectives, I refer to a workshop/discussion that will be held at the LibOCOn in Milan. Something that - as far as I've noticed - has only been receiving support (2). 2) https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/2022/msg00748.html and replies to that! ... To avoid the process of atticization, as the clock is already ticking, and, at the same time, emphasize the global nature of the foundation we urge full consideration of the two proposals that have been made so far. ...
