So - whatever the rights and wrongs of this issue - and I suspect poor
communication is near the root of it all; there should clearly be no
barrier to -anyone- contributing to LibreOffice.

ie. we accept code changes, translations, artwork etc. based not on the
language, color of skin, creed, odd views of author, corporate
affiliation or not etc. etc. - but purely on merit.

So :-) hopefully there should be no barrier to your continued concrete
contributions getting included, and I look forward to reviewing them.

Having said that - this is a developer list; and (given what I write
above) this is emphatically not a developer issue - so please use the
right list for this: ie. take it elsewhere - the 'discuss' list perhaps.
As/when you have code, please bring it here :-)

All the best,

Michael.

Hi revol,

Thanks for posting, though the subject is not something that makes us 
happy of course.
There have been some contacts in the Steering Committee on the subject - 
quite obviously. I have the hope - anyway that is the intention - that 
we find a way to handle the situation with most respect for all the 
people involved, and that it does not affect peoples possibilities to 
cooperate in TDF and find joy in that.


Kind regards,
Cor

Hey dev's, I have some information to show, sorry about the off-topic, but:

We have, in Brazil, one institute without funds that work to 'represent'
the community, the name of this institute is what you known be BrOffice.

But after some things happended, $, this guys want to command and
conquer the community, us, and not help us anymore. They want all for
make money.

So, for everyone, we, the brazilian community, are not more part of the
BrOffice. It's sad, but BrOffice do not represent us anymore.

We will give some more explanation in the future. For now I just want to
alert us about this. It´s sad thing what happened ;/

ps: for sure I will be attacked because of it.

Could someone just briefly tell us what is the problem?

Government/business trying to take over development or something?

best
