[steering-discuss] contacting LibO and TDF domain holders

Hello,

I am thinking about contacting LibO and TDF domain holders that we are not yet aware of. Lots of people registered domain names and connected them to our DNS servers, and informed us, but some also didn't.

Most of these are friendly (i.e. pointing the domain to their mirror or the like), and I really hate legal letters, so my take would be to send them a short notice that we right now have started the LibO website, and would be delighted to connect these domains to our DNS, so they point to the right site, or even transfer them to us.

Even if someone refuses that, as long as the site is a "friendly" one, it can stay where it is -- I would only take action on fraud sites.

What do you think?

It's ok for me. If you need help, don't hesitate to ping me.

Kind regards

Hi Tom,

is fantastic:)

thanks a lot. :slight_smile: Since nobody objected, I will start writing to the domain owners after January 10th. If someone wants to vetoe, now's the time. :slight_smile:

I will redirect libreoffice.it to libreoffice.org before the end of January.

Can you connect our DNS servers to it? Then I could manage that libreoffice.it gets redirected to it.libreoffice.org automatically.

Hi :slight_smile:

Please could someone with an official "@documentfoundation.org" email address
please contact these 4 sites to let them know their training also covers
LibreOffice?

   http://inpics.net/
   http://documentation.openoffice.org/tutorials/index.html
   http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org/
   http://www.learnopenoffice.org/

At the moment they only claim OpenOffice.

Given the way that OpenOffice is regressing rather than developing those sites
will soon find their courses don't cover OpenOffice at all anymore but do still
cover LibreOffice, if they can do a few minor updates to their courses.

I guess it doesn't necessarily need someone to be with a @tdf addresss, so...
