Hi Eyal,
I would like to reiterate a few important points:
The decisions made by the Board are fully in line with the TDF statutes and are guided by a fundamental commitment to protect the image and interests of the LibreOffice project.
We are reviewing decisions made in the past that, in our opinion, were not in line with the best interests of the project.
The inclusion of this slogan was a choice made by previous Councils, without a clear goal or concrete benefit for LibreOffice. The project was born without this slogan, and we are now correcting this deviation and returning to our original identity.
I regret that you see this decision as a direct attack on specific companies, which is not the case. TDF is a neutral and independent foundation, committed to the project and the community as a whole.
In addition, insinuations that the Board is acting “behind the scenes” are disrespectful to the elected members and do not contribute to a healthy and constructive debate.
The Board will continue to work seriously, responsibly, and with a clear focus on TDF’s mission and interests: strengthening LibreOffice.
We are always open to dialogue, but within an environment of mutual respect.
Have a nice weekend!
Best,
Eliane
