Gabriela Salvisberg@libreoffice @tdforg I can't make head nor tail of the dispute, other than "People's Front of Judea" vs "Popular Front of Judea" (yay, Monty Python). Meanwhile, companies are turning to OnlyOffice (links to Russia). This can't be good.
1. I still don't get what the problem is between TDF, TDC, Collabora, etc. Is there any clear, non-biased explanation?
2. Don't we all want the same thing?
3. What can LO users/OSS advocates do to help put an end to this dispute?
OSS should be a war-free zone.

HedajaAs far as I understand it, the main issue was having board members that are part of for-profit companies, since this can lead to (or has lead to) conflicts of interest.
And apparently these conflicts could lead to the foundation loosing its nonprofit status.
Collabora doesn't seem to be happy to have lost the seats (and therefore some influence). Which is understandable from business perspective.
