The areas where some clarity would be useful (to put it mildly) include: license, ownership of copyright, developer resources, and so on and so forth. Are there any discussions / decisions regarding this? On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 11:24 AM, Alexandro Colorado j...@openoffice.orgwrote: Well I

Hi Louis, all, it is great, that you still feel responsible for the OOo community - even if the way you perform this responsibility causes some thoughts... You have been Sun's OpenOffice.org Community Manager and later on Oracle's Community Manager until you left Oracle some months ago. As far

LibreOffice or TDF or any single company can probably provide. Figure more than 10M USD/annum. It wont bring in 10M but every bit helps. Give people the option to Donate before they download. Much like visiting some Museums, if you dont have any money, they will still let you enter and view. I
