[tdf-discuss] Candidacy for BoD seat
Hello everyone, hereby I would like to announce my candidacy for a Board of Directors seat at the Document Foundation. My name is Alexander Werner, I'm 24 years old and live only a few hundred meters away from Florian, who convinced me to run for for a seat. I'm a physics student and run a small company on the side. I'm also member of FroDev for years and auditor of a German registered association that is active in the electronic sports area. So I have quite an experience regarding German laws. I was part of the OpenOffice.org community since fall 2007 when Florian convinced me to join him at the Systems booth in Munich. Soon after that I became member of OOoDev e.V. and was at one more Systems (unfortunately the last one) and at every LinuxDay since then. I was involved in LibreOffice and the Document Foundation from the very beginning and helped to set up the infrastructure and wrote a little tool for the mailinglists that parses mails and strips html content and attachments and called it pymime.py. Now I am member of the admin-team and the little tool PyMIME has grown steadily. A complete rewrite is in the works and will provide enhanced scalability as well as a webservice where attachments are available after being striped from the original mail. I run for a seat at the BoD because I strongly believe in the success of FOSS, and the Document Foundation with its open and meritocratic structure is the right place to support one of the largest and most imporant FOSS-projects. I think that both my technological as well as legal background will help the Document Foundation. I am experienced with the sometimes restrictive and rigorous German laws, but also understand the needs of a free software developer. I hope that I will be able to mediate between these to worlds. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

As I'm currently at a trade fair, I will be only able to have a deep look at it at the weekend, but as I saw from a short look it seems good.

[tdf-discuss] Question&Answer system evaluation
Hi everyone, while discussing the possible platforms for an official user forum, the idea arose[1] to also evaluate a Q&A forum, similar to the well-known stackoverflow[2]. I've set up an instance of askbot to allow users to test such a forum and comment on this idea. You can access it at http://osqa-test.libreoffice.org. Feel free to register an account (at the moment, local user accounts, Facebook, twitter and various openid providers are supported) and test the installation. Comments, bug reports and improvement suggestions are very welcome, either by using the "give feedback"[3] link at the bottom of each page or at the website list or, of course, in askbot itself[3]. For a explanation how such Q&A platforms work, please see the faq[4] and my short explanation here: * Q&A forums don't provide room for general discussions, polls, rants etc. and are therefore more targeted. * Users can select correct answers and vote for answers. Selected and most voted answers are shown first, drastically improving clarity. * User activities such as answering questions or voting answers leads to karma. With more karma, the rights of users grow until the user has full moderation rights. This allows to grow a self sustaining community. * Answers can be edited collaboratively (so called "community wiki" posts) Of course, trying it out is worth a thousand words :) Cu, Alex [1]: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/msg06443.html [2]: http://stackoverflow.com/ [3]: http://osqa-test.libreoffice.org/questions/ask/ [4]: http://osqa-test.libreoffice.org/faq/ -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@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/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[board-discuss] Support of the askbot translation process
Hello everyone, as it was missed during the yesterdays BoD-call to constitute the quorum, I hereby ask the BoD to decide on the following topic: Should the translation of the askbot project be supported by creating a project on our pootle server and permitting the developers of askbot access to the project. Our l10n teams are then asked to contribute to the translation of aksbot.
