Hi :)
No. I think the work you all have been doing to migrate to better systems is
great and should continue. Using a "stepping stone" is a clever way to avoid
emergencies. It also means you have plenty of time to prepare the
goal-website/domain so that it will work much better. A much better result than
a hasty ill-considered move! It is becoming clearer and clearer that a lot of
thought and planning has gone into this but the first few posts to the English
lists made a few of us panic because it sounded too hasty. We know better now
and are much happier.
It is also good to hear that your old web-sites/domains will continue to exist
for quite a while as that allows you to redirect people and gradually get the
new names well known in places that have become familiar with the old names.
I wish we could have had such an organised migration from OpenOffice to TDF and
LibreOffice. Perhaps now that Oracle seem to have decided to drop OOo there
might be some chance for us to make a better migration.
Anyway, good luck and regards to all from
Tom :)

I hope you understand the difference better now. Also, I would like, >> as
another general comment, to remind you and everyone that Claudio
is also part of the core team of TDF. I am surprised that he hasn't
been more active on this particular topic. That's just my feeling,
perhaps I'm wrong.
I am also surprised about the lack of participation of Olivier in this
discussion. Claudio has his own personal problems and I can't speak
for him.
Really i am out by personal problems.
But in other hand, i tried to alert in core@ list what happens here some months
ago, and at final was a talk with some members of SC, without a conclusive
feedback about this. However, going direct to point.
* Domains *
As Luiz told, i am talking with Florian about the domains.
I already request to redirect www.tdf.org.br -> www.tdf.org, and this question
will be finished soon.
The lib.o.br, was a thing that we discussed inside of our lists, because the
broffice.org page is a *well know* in Brazil. Other thing is that we has
different things inside of our page, like news about ODF/BrO/LibO, migrations,
documentation and many other things, but is clear now that for TDF is not (more)
interesting the BrOffice and its history.
* Migration *
As already was explained by Paulo, Luiz and others, we are migrating to wiki and
SilverStripe, but is many content. Was only a job of 5 years in marketing that
resulted in a installed base around 15M of desktops with Br/LibO in our country.
But, ok. We will drop any idea of migration and point all to there and maintain
the BrOffice.org yet.
A curiosity about this point is that we have all other brazilian domains of each
project, like mozilla.org.br and postgresql.org.br, working fine with the
international projects, without problems, and with the respectively recognition
of international institution or projects, like Mozilla Foundation and
PostgreSQL.
* Official and not official logos *
About the "warning" in the redirect page in BrOffice.org, we are talking about
the product. If you remember, before of 3.3.4 was "BrOffice", and now
"LibreOffice". The brands are correct. About the logo in the main page without
"The Document Foundation", in the rules[1] say that for "non-official" use is to
use the "LibreOffice" without the "TDF".

A strategy that did the difference here and that some neighboring countries are
looking our (old!) model maybe is not more interesting.
My two cents...
Claudio
