When the usually affable and engaging Michael Meeks writes a blogpost (link btw is https://www.collaboraonline.com/blog/tdf-ejects-its-core-developers/) , and I find a woolly and non-specific answer from @tdforg but on their software channel @libreoffice I am first of all glad there is a blog post by you. That's good! I ám bemused it's on a software account instead of a foundation account, but most of all: The blog post isn't a great look imo, it's woolly, doesn't address if there has been proper communication, and most of all, I find it makes light of developers' years-long commitment to a complicated codebase. Nice that "you're hiring", what's next, vibecoding by new devs? I don't sense any effort to keep people together to make #LibreOffice be even better. I think it's been a missed opportunity by #TDF, especially with Euro-Office on the horizon. I wish you good luck hopefully patching things up with Collabora (which I don't use but tend to follow because they are good at communication and outreach.)

Na ja wie schon erwähnt Apple funktioniert wirklich gut aber mein Herz und der Verstand sagt Linux und Opensource sowie Fairphone mit e/os sind die besseren Systeme.
den es sind meine Daten und vor allem meine Metadaten. Aber vor allem ist es ein viel besseres Gefühl zumindest für mich ein Stück weniger von der Amerikanschen willkür abhängig zu sein.

🫠 TDF ejects its core developers over commercial conflicts around "opensource" offerings.

LibreOffice exists.

Governments: No, it needs to be more Microsoft Office. But with "Euro" in the name.

@spaetz @tml Well, in fact it seems like no independent volunteer keeps a say on TDF in the top 20 #LibreOffice contributors:

Can I edit transparency for multiple lines at once for a graph in #LibreOffice Calc? It's so tedious to select and edit them one-by-one when I have a ton of series...
Or maybe there's some way to edit a default style, so when I create the chart they'd already have the transparency I want?

If you take openhubs contributor page and look for the top 20 contributors[1]
-- you will find only _two_ that are allowed to take part in its governance[2] (and those happen to already get a salary from the foundation for their work).

So, if you think use of your #donation to TDF will be decided on by a "sustainable, independent and meritocratic community" that as of now suggests a fail on all three counts.
