Sorry people,

I think we are on a wrong way.
Why?
OK, there is hard work on every side, but what is the core of all? And how do we realize this core around the world with a structure for a long, long time?
For example, look at HOME on the website. There you find:
LibreOffice - Welcome to LibreOffice and so on.
The german site is familiar.
But LO is just a manifestation of the idea of TDF. And the idea/goals of TDF are: "Our mission is to facilitate the evolution of the OpenOffice.org Community into a new open, independent, and meritocratic organizational structure within the next few months."
That means:
The core is the Community, its structure and its evolution e.g.
And LO is the product that comes from this structur and that helps to improve the structure of this Community. Like a crystal nucleus. Why can TDF and LO than go to public in this splitted way they do? TDF and LO are one thing that can't be splitted without loosing the basis. For example: Why not on every HOME-Site in every nation (and in every article, spot e.g.) start with the "spirit" oft TDF/LO?:

The Document Foundation
presents
the new Freedom of Community-based Software
LibreOffice


The "spirit" of this Community is the fuel. This "spirit" provides the worldwide frame for everything TDF does. With this "spirit" LO is created and will be developed and so on. And for that the Community has to work together as a whole.

I fear we will loose our goals short after beginning.
OK, that's hard. But look at OOo and its goals and what is realized after ten years. Or look at the idea of a LO-Magazin. It's a thread on the international marketing-list and one on the german list. How many LO-magazins are starting, and in the end everyone of it is like every national group will make it. Everyone different and perhaps without the core of all - the goals of TDF. Look at the website. The german list thinks about another content and layout. Every "group" works and changes and works and changes. Why not for example the same Layout on the Home-Site? The other sites could be more national-like.
And so on.
So many things are done different in many goups. That costs energy and time and at least motivation. But there are many things that could be done together. Like a common Home-Site or the exchange of articles for LO-Magazins and so on.

Where is the common and worldwide frame for the TDF/LO-Project? And where is the structure and organization to find (website?)?
Or - how can we build it together?

Regards,
Johannes
