[tdf-discuss] Re: [steering-discuss] Candidacy for Board of Directors

[David Emmerich Jourdain <jourdain@gmx.de>]

Hi Olivier,

I recognize you as an important person for the propagation of LibreOffice,
specially in Brazil, for your performance inside and outside of TDF.

You never refused to perform you role as a member from TDF, neither to
promote LibreOffice in all possible instances.

You got my vote, dude! ;-)

Best,

David
