[steering-discuss] SC Vote on first members of TDF

*** Steering Committee Members & their deputies only ***

As we haven't reached a quorum last night we need to decide for
practical reasons on two specific questions. These questions relate to
the formation of the Membership Committee. By decision of the SC we
have appointed André Schnabel, Sophie Gautier and Fridrich Strba as the
three members of this Membership Council.

But we need to regularly jumpstart the committee and the membership
formation process. We should thus vote on two specific points of order:

  1) approve that people listed at
    http://www.documentfoundation.org/foundation/ are current members
    of TDF according to our ByLaws
  2) approve Fridrich Strba as member of TDF

We are going to vote here on this list and the vote will be open for
the next 24 hours.

Two simple rules:
- vote yes or no for each question, by sending your mail to this list
  with 1) yes/no 2) yes/no

- deputies can vote if their corresponding SC member is not available.

Best,

*** Steering Committee Members& their deputies only ***

1) YES

2) YES

*** Steering Committee Members& their deputies only ***

   1) approve that people listed at

I'm not a voting member but it all looks good to me, apart from being inquorate
and these glitches are unavoidable sometimes.

Many thanks to all of you for an excellent first release and an amazing job in
setting up community systems so quickly!
Congrats, thanks and regards from

Hi all,

Florian voted, Cor voted for Sophie ... nothing left for Christoph,
except to express a double +1 as an opinion.

Cheers,
Christoph

Hello everyone

After 24 hours of vote we now have reached the quorum, 7 out of 8 members
have voted (Claudio, Olivier did vote), and we're only missing André, for
some reason (André?) . The vote vas unanimous and I can therefore declare
that:
1) the people listed there:
http://www.documentfoundation.org/foundation/have now been accepted as
full members of the LibreOffice Project and
Contributors to the Document Foundation.
2) Fridrich Strba has now the same status.

Therefore, the Membership Committee being regularly and duly formed it can
now effectively start its preparatory work.

Thank you everyone and have a good week-end,

Charles-H. Schulz.

Hi ForAll,

I'm glad the members of the committee, and in particular, we have two
representing from Brazil. Long live the committee.
I'm just a user LibreOffice / BrOffice and collaborator in the BrOffice
magazine ( http://pt-br.libreoffice.org/projetos/revista/ ), and wanted to
express my feelings. And always follow the events of the SC mailing list
Regards,

Clóvis

Hi, :slight_smile:

I really like this open vote - it's just the kind of openness I was
longing to see when we worked on the bylaws. I know it's maybe not
suitable for every single vote, but it would be good to see it for as
many as possible. Congratulations, and thank you for this one more
step forward towards the community's organization. Viva LibreOffice!
