Training materials on how to run TDF

Hello,

I had a discussion with @EyalRozenberg about the training materials for TDF. The initial idea was to produce an in-house training, but for obvious reasons everyone is quite busy these days, so it’s unclear by when this will be feasible.

There are, however, a couple of existing materials available. One is an old blog post of mine, covering the board role in general: What does it mean to be in the Board of Directors? - The Document Foundation Blog

I’ve also published several articles and presentations on the matter, covering less the legal details, but the social aspects and the overarching legal principle. A 10-minute video version of these are available here: Florian Effenberger - SFSCON and longer versions you can find on my personal website.

Back in the days, I’ve also published an article how TDF works. This is available only in German, but Google Translate should do the job: Wie die Stiftung hinter LibreOffice funktioniert | Florian Effenberger

On a more technical topic, I have written a budgeting howto that explains with some more detail how our budgeting process works. I would be happy to publish this as well (maybe some confidential data needs to be redacted), because budgeting is an integral part of operating any entity.

In a similar fashion, I could also publish the relevant parts of the onboarding howto I’ve written many years ago.

Any concerns from the board, are you fine if we make this public on our Nextcloud?

Thanks
Florian

I’m fine with it, thanks Florian!

Thanks Florian, I am fine.

Hello Florian,

It’s ok for me! Thanks!

Best,
Eliane

Sounds sensible to me. Get it on Nextcloud and see what we can use and improve!

I totally agree, thanks for taking care of it.

Could you add also the draft of the Code of Ethics and Fiduciary Duties to see if attract further constructive feedbacks to be integrated in the final version?
