Re: [libreoffice-marketing] PR translations

Hi Luiz,

I think there´s a misunderstanding here. We´re not representatives of the
brazilian community, nor we will ever be. We are only 3 co-founders of TDF,
we should be here to help. Neither more nor less than anyone, understand?

Here´s not Oracle, got you? ;-)

In this context, all that are participating in the brasilian community has
the same voice that I have, or you, or Paulo Lima, or anyone else, see?

That´s not true. TDF know the brasilian community and wanna keep a good
relationship with everybody in Brazil. A member of the SC answer your
questions and clarify to you some points. Do you know when that could be
possible to happens in the same situation, under Oracle´s control? Never,
see?

In this situation, TDF is trully meritocratic, as you can see. There´s no
border´s here, dude? ;-)

Thank´s God it´s, otherwise nothing comes out!

Thank you so much. I have the same respect for you. ;-)

That´s a good start! This agreement was made by Claudio and Olivier to the
TDF. Verbally and/or per e-mail and/or by messengers.

The domains ".org.br" are under the responsibility of Claudio, since ever,
and he always knew that. If he never told you or for the community, maybe
you should ask him why.

As I said, we´re not representatives for the brazilian community, we're just
TDF co-founders. The position of a "br-representative" creates a dangerous
figure of centralization and filtering contacts with TDF, and TDF don´t want
this at all.

So, be sure the TDF is happy and really thankful for your help.

Maybe someone told you that could possible make some political trampoline
into the TDF. For this hypothesis, the answer is clear: TDF is not political
platform for anybody. Not at all. TDF is meritocratic and be sure, your help
will be allways wellcome.

Therefore, you have an open channel to talk with the TDF, not as
representative of the brazilian community, but as representative of
yourself.

Best,

David
