Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Magazine LibreOffice International.

Hi :)
There is a lot of extreme emotion about this area.  BrOffice seems to have been 
excellent for many years, gained a good reputation, good people and did great 
work.  Inevitably any large community will have misunderstandings and different 
people heading in different directions but all believing they are doing the best 
for the whole community.  


Sometimes people are too enthusiastic and haven't noticed what already exists or 
how their ideas might already be being implemented.  I think it's best to guide 
people into what is already going on so that they can channel their enthusiasm 
in a positive direction.  The post that sparked this controversy was clearly not 
written in the person native language so the misunderstanding should be easier 
to clarify on Brazilian lists.  


Most of the good stuff about BrOffice seems to have merged into the wider 
community here at TDF in the LibreOffice community.  It has enriched the wider 
community considerably.  Most of the good people are here now, and the 
structures, websites, the passion and so on.  It does still retain a unique 
identity even if the name has changed.  It's influencing the wider community too 
now :)
Regards from
Tom :)

I'll try to explain. Once again we are faced with an issue which is not
applicable to the TDF and marketing list. This a internal question. Although
I do not believe that TDF is so alienated.

Did not take the death of BrOffice.org. That still leaves the death of the
BrOffice magazine and any semblance of this ill-fated brand. I did not
believe it would come back, but came back! I end my participation here this
theme because I believe the list does not deserve this kind of discussion.
