Hi,
Perhaps there is another issue at play here. Yes, Oracle was invited to contribute to TDF; but the current discussion on TDF membership and documents on-line seem to forbid organizations.
At first, we are just discussing at the moment - everyone who wants to have her points to be considered, may join the discussion. I have no problem if people from Oracle would joind and tell, that we could consider some points, so that it is more likely that Oracle would join us. At the moment there is no indication at all, that Oracle is interested to join the foundation or even the discussion. Second - the current idea is that organizsations could join indirectly through their member's (staff) contributions. This idea works quite well for e.g. Gnome foundation. There are other models and we need to find something to make organizations happy to join. We must take responsibility to discuss this as well. regards, André -- GRATIS!
