Re: Re: [tdf-discuss] Basic question about Oracle asking OOo community members to leave

Hi *,

I feel same people can't be ruling OOo and TDF. And I see a
clear Conflict of Interest for people who has responsibilities in OOo
and chose to have responsabilities in the TDF.

Both communities will be able to collaborate in tons of things, but the
project leaders can't share responsabilities in both projects. If so,
why to have two Communities?

You can't fork a open source project and keep your responsabilities in
the original one! It's atonishing just trying to do it.

Best Greetings,

Ra
