You should not give away this possibility of refinancing so quick.

Hi Alexandro,
FSF is pretty successful with this scheme same as other foundations
like Mozilla. A very old proposal I had for OOo Marketing (almost 2
years ago) is to build a store for OOo. Mozilla generates around 2
million dollars a year with theirs.

Hi,
well i am happy with this. But when i have asked initially for a global
conference budget it was denied and people wanted a more detailed
funding request. That's the reason why i request now exactly the money

also expand this meeting to a series of meetings that we can keep a
schedule on. Oh and
By the way I am not trying to block this meeting, but maybe we should

I agree very much with that and vote no, also. I'm not seeing a case

FYI it doesn't matter. Skype can call the conferencing system as well.
It is true that Skype is FREE and can provide the ability to do video

Hi,
That would be dial-in conferencing not generic voice conferencing. SIP,
or another open standard, is what is needed to ensure open access to the

you know how very well SIP *not* works behind NAT or firewalls? SIP
probably is the worst way of phone conferencing at all,
I rather move the conversation to a new thread, about the discussion

I set up a little Doodle poll with various dates that would work for me.
