Re: [us-marketing] Re: Followup on the LibreOffice request

Hi Tim,

Well, I really this but right now you can not distribute those files.

Look this started as you wanting to give a disk to some friends - how it
got to be a formal project release in some peoples mind I don't know -
it would be great to make this into a community release (meaning some
people working on something that conforms to the TDF guidelines for
preserving that organizations brand and logo - the files you have do not
do that.

Also, there are files there that IMO can not be released as you do not
have the right to do so. (only a couple of those that I can see)

So - what I am asking is for folks to stop, really just stop and start
over with looking at what you are doing.

Then please get off the international list, unless you want to be a
formal project at the TDF level in which case much will need changing,
both in content and process, and as I've told you - I doubt the idea
effort would be allowed, it's that's simple.

If you want a disk for hand out by YOU great, but then it needs to be
branded for YOU. If you want to work on a local community disk that is
great, then it needs to be branded as a Community effort vs a TDF
effort. (only the German club seems to be capable of deciding on their
own what is TDF official - BTW)

Thanks

Drew
