Oh what a week in office land: not only #OnlyOffice vs. #EuroOffice (don't get me started on this one).

But also #collabora, main contributor to #LibreOffice, is kicked out of #TheDocumentFoundation, which leads them focusing on #CollaboraOffice. Not an April fool's joke although it sounds exactly like (a bad) one.

Not exactly optimal, where we have a great window of opportunity to push further for #Digitalsovereignity

Looked a bit deeper into the precendents of @CollaboraOffice vs @tdforg now.

All he did, is to say (paraphrased): "We should not have this vote for [reasons], BUT IF WE DO PROCEED, I VOTE NO"

Still, there are only looser, no winners, a pity.

This proposal is not only mine, it’s a joint proposal from Paolo Vecchi and me, based on the many feedback and contributions from the Board, the MC and the community. The Community Bylaws were not only a statutory necessity, but it is an important tool for our governance as well as a guide for our ...

@spaetz Note that the Board majority now conducts all votes by e-mail and usually doesn't hold a discussion before calling the vote as they all somehow know they will agree. As a result there's no way to comment except like this.
