Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: Name Change for LibreOffice Applications

Hi Johannes, *

just one remark about your last paragraph:

I don't think that such a task can be done by one single person - it has 
been done as a common task by different teams.

Development team knows (more or less) about the skills of the developers 
working on the LibO source.

But as they are volunteers, their areas of interest have to been taken 
into account: Nobody can be forced by anybody else to work on a specific 
task. They can be convinced of course (by defining common goals - or 
paying an adequate amount of money...).

Marketing works on public relations and will be the main area for 
defining our community goals and target groups - based on the "Next 
Decade Manifesto" 
[http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/Next_Decade_Manifesto].

Many other teams will have to be taken into account, so there will have 
to be a group of active community members from all of these teams, 
sharing their knowledge based on the expertize in their teams with each 
other and the community.

At the moment such a group is the Steering Committee, after the first 
voting the Board of Directors (BoD) IMHO.

When discussion in the different teams led to conclusions, they should 
be finalized on the steering-discuss list, where all the community 
members interested in this topic - and I hope it is important to every 
community member - can follow the discussion.

For tasks not to be covered inside the dedicated teams this should be 
the SC - led by the experts from the different areas.

Of course!

Such a schedule should be created by every team, there are already some 
"Work-item" pages on the wiki - from the marketing team for example: 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Work_Items

It might be very helpful for the progress we want to do as a whole, if 
there would be some community members collecting the tasks and their 
planned timeframes from the different schedules to a central document.

The TDF work-item wiki page 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/Work_Items already provides 
something similar.

I just don't know, if it might be possible to keep such a document 
readable and up-to-date for more than a few months...

Best regards

Bernhard
