LibreOffice is an open community. We are personally inviting all of those
people who have already contributed to the website team and infrastructure.
The reason LibreOffice exists is to encourage grass roots development and
community building, rather than having to seek permission from a higher
power, ie Oracle.
LibreOffice is about meritocracy, structurally organising the team and
coordination clearly has merit for the whole community.

The reason we are organising this is to improve the leadership, development,
coordination and communication within the website team.
There have been some mistakes made over the past few months, David as a
"Leader" appointed by the SC and myself are working together to unite the
website team, enable discussion and decisions rather than dictate, and map
out the roadmap for the LibreOffice website in an official capacity as the
team responsible for the web infrastructure.

Any members of the SC who wish to actively contribute to the website team
are more than welcome to join the conference call and as a team we must
negotiate the best outcome for the community.
I have faith that members of the SC have respect for the website team enough
to respect and uphold decisions made by the team and the community.
The only attitude and mindset we need to think about is respectful
collaboration.

I hope this clarifies things,
Michael Wheatland
