I had not followed this thread actively since its beginning, as I don't have the use for a portable version of LibreOffice and never really had one in the past. I will say however that you seem to be asking the questions and making the answers yourself. Your a) does not make sense. Italo is alluding to issues I myself heard many years ago concerning the different portable LibreOffice projects, one of them who seemed to have a problem with TDF. I'm not sure what this meant or what this means today. But it does not go into the direction of TDF's board, it's a thread on @discuss. As to your point b): are you even serious? So there's no accusation coming from anyone but you in this case. I note your last statement however, and I'm a bit concerned about what you meant: how does this discussion have an impact on the status of the foundation? Why do you want to involve the board on such matter? What's your turf? -- Charles-H.
