This can not be true
Hello Apache, Hello OpenOffice-PMC, Hello Community, I am absolutely horrified that in a situation where we have to overcome problems together, no reasonable planning takes place. How can it be that even though *there was a help offer for the translation*, a press release is simply published in English without coordinating internationally? How could appear the following article (which is supposed to be a press release) without waiting for possible translations? https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the_apache_openoffice_project_announces I disagree with this approach.

You're absolutely right. I warned already 2-3 years before this development and have, as Munich opting for LibreOffice met, members of the German community, and especially IBM addressed in Germany. Repeatedly I came here only to disinterest. I think AOO has for years in Munich with a huge problem. Solution? I think that is in Munich only possible if companies that sponsor AOO (eg IBM), here together with the community to be active. I myself have worked for 4 years as an external expert at the Munich LIMUX-migration, but alone I am not in able to exert influence on the decisions of the City of Munich.

Public uncertainty about the role of Oracle
Hello, I myself am not directly in the (international) marketing active, but there is a point which, in my opinion, deserves attention: In public, at least in Germany, there are still uncertainties about the legal situation in OpenOfffice. Repeating is always the talk of the OpenOffice still belongs to Oracle. Currently example here: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/foren/S-Re-LibreOffice-oder-OpenOffice/forum-261571/msg-23871091/read/ It would be good if we take steps to inform the public about these things too, especially about the OenOffice, legally, is 100% Apache. Especially in Germany rumors regarding Oracle hurt us very much, especially in DEutschland LibreOffice is particularly strong because the TDF is based here. I demand nothing special that needs to be done immediately, but I think the problem that deserves attention.
