Fascinating, NoOp - wheels within wheels ! Thanks for posting this !... Henri TDF's Statement: http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2011/06/01/statement-about-oracles-move-to-donate-openoffice-org-assets-to-the-apache-foundation/ TDF's statement included : Today we welcome Oracle’s donation of code that has previously been proprietary to the Apache Software Foundation, it is great to see key user features released in a form that can be included into LibreOffice. Since when is OOo proprietary? There are probably some proprietary components that were added to the StarOffice product, and did not make it to OpenOffice.org. I would have preferred the above statement to have two commas placed in there, as in Today we welcome Oracle’s donation of code, that has previously been proprietary, to the Apache Software Foundation. It is great to see key user features released in a form that can be included into LibreOffice.

You might ask your favorite TDF SC member who they were talking to on April 28th at 9am EDT. Perhaps that will help refresh their memory. And if you think that the general membership of TDF was not made aware of this opportunity, then who is to blame: me, or your own unelected, self-appointed Steering Committee ? If you think that you should have been informed of this opportunity, and wish that your SC had been more open to cooperating in this move, then I think you should complain to them. I do not think there should be more or any cooperation there. But if there have been these talks and decisions not only without informing the community or interested public but even without participating the already approved document foundation members[1] I would be pretty upset. Although it is obvious that making that public would have lead to complicated discussions on the mailing lists and probably some not so happy Oracle/IBM people, following these corporate - behind closed door and intransparent - decision making is not something a community should strive for, even if the alternatives are harder. Regards, Michael [1] I am not, so I am not sure if they were informed. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[...] It seems to me that TDF did not had to make a decision. The need of a decision was on the Oracle side since their announce on the 2011-04-14. It is very naive (or maybe bad faith) to believe that negotiations can be made in public as suggested by Rob Weir, when some partners of the discussion do not want a public discussion. If Oracle and IBM had intended that the discussions are public, I am sure they would have informed the community about this.
