[VOTE] LibreOffice Online information in the release notes

Hello,

based on the previous discussion, putting the following to VOTE now:

  Ask the marketing team to summarize the new LibreOffice Online information website (see vote item #1 in https://listarchives.tdf.io/i/4bCUE2Lh2ffa-M8da8zEfPF7) in the release notes, adding a link to the full page

[Note: The content of that website is currently edited and discussed and should be finished soon.]

Hi Florian,

based on the previous discussion, putting the following to VOTE now:

Ask the marketing team to summarize the new LibreOffice Online
information website (see vote item #1 in
https://listarchives.tdf.io/i/4bCUE2Lh2ffa-M8da8zEfPF7) in the release
notes, adding a link to the full page

[Note: The content of that website is currently edited and discussed and
should be finished soon.]

  I'm really not a huge fan of the board voting in such detail on these
specific sorts of actions. I'm rather confident in our marketing team
doing what's sensible and incorporating feedback to move us in a
reasonable direction perhaps based on high-level guidance from the board.

  Nevertheless the above seems un-controversial =)

  So +1

    Michael.

Hi,

I think it's pretty clear that several BoD members, me included, have misunderstood the implication of such vote. Especially 1b. So, my take is to vote on Guilhems proposal, detailed bellow. Which I support.

"rewind branches on https://git.libreoffice.org/online and for the time being deny all write
operations to the repository, be it on the git or gerrit side. It'll
freeze the state of the dashboard, notification, and other clones for
free, and if/when we decide to accept contributions again everything
will be just one switch away."

+1

    Michael.

Let me change that to a supportive abstention =)

  Thanks Daniel,

    Michael.

+1 from me including the review  and reversal of the 1b vote in light of
the new information received.

+ 1

+1

The key point here is, as underlined by Michael, "high-level guidance from the board", though; I see some optimization that can be done on the guidance part.

Cheers,

Yep +1 - it was the initial, actual intention incidentally. :wink:

OK for me!

+1, but I think the proposal misses some bits. I'll try to cope with them:

* branches will be rewinded to commit (or the commits before)
4ca4fd34169dd386c2fa57bd28650c00b23d6864 (last commit before changes by
Collabora)
* OpenGrok needs to point to the TDF git/gerrit
* revert decision 1b and (if feasible) point TDF repo on GitHub on
git/gerrit on TDF infra.

After this bits, I think this whole votes needs another round of
confirmation - to be sure that also these bits are consensual.

Agreed.

Glad it is - +1 also for me.

Yes, obviously the flood of messages that arrive in the inbox makes it difficult to follow the thread of all the conversations. Also, Guilhem's proposal is splitted into a couple o messages.
However, in the spirit of making progress on this issue and avoiding further delays, I think we could consider the vote as inclusive of what Emiliano mentions.

If the above is not shared by fellow Board members I will conduct another round of voting, or perhaps we can close with a +1 to the amendment mentioned by Emiliano. With which, by the way, I agree.

Hi all,

there were already sensible remarks from other board members, so not to bring more complexity in here, just

+1 from my side.

Thanks
Lothar

Ah sorry, too much voting in one thread - yep, +1 to that proposal!

Yep, that was implied, +1

* OpenGrok needs to point to the TDF git/gerrit

Yep, that was Guilhem's proposal, +1

* revert decision 1b and (if feasible) point TDF repo on GitHub on
git/gerrit on TDF infra.

That was the compromise I had suggested last year, to have github track
github, not the frozen gerrit. As such, -1.
