Update to today's call agenda

Further, Stallman is actually not very technically proficient these days and makes for a poor example of a 'God-tier' hacker.

:smiley: True.

So shall we settle for Linus Torvalds or there are other suggestions?

That's a very good proposal Heiko.

Just some amendments:

1.1
(I guess only a few will answer LibreOffice Online as AFAIK isn't that
easy to build)
Maybe we should also add Collabora Code and Collabora Online?
I have several instances with Collabora Code as at present it's the only
available on platforms like Univention.

Maybe the following sounds better?
2 2 Should enterprises (and even individuals) be able to deploy their
own LibreOffice Online to have a self-hosted/cloud based collaborative
office suite?

Indeed

4 I think lately Richard Stallman has been involved in controversial
stuff. Maybe it's safer to use Linus Torvalds to avoid comments?

Why not just saying a 'tech guru'.

Also that could be a good option but it would be cool if Linus actually
comes along to give his feedback ticking that box :slight_smile:

Always good to have bike-shedding questions in such a list ;-). First, we have to agree on such a survey including what exactly we want to learn and which questions we have to ask. The proficiency self-estimation is just a way to split answers into more or less experienced people. So back to Stallman/Thorvalds/Musk/Trump, the better option is maybe "I'm a professional system administrator" (whatever we put there, it's clear that this is the maximum option).

Both are fine for me. And the questions are mostly what Sam suggested with open responses.

Just having a bit of fun :slight_smile:

I'm OK with any terminology you want to use to measure the level of
nerdiness of the users.

Paolo

Agree

Donations earmarked for specific projects, that are almost outside the
scope of the organisation, can create legal issues that are extremely
expensive to correct.

Go talk to a lawyer that specialises in German Charity law, for more
specifics, as it relates specifically to the Document Foundation. A
lawyer in the US that specialises in 501(c)3 organisations, can outline
the issues within the US, which, whilst similar, can have very different
consequences in Germany.

I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.

I started that, and in tracking down what triggered the error messages I
was seeing, concluded I'd have to run configure, make, make install, or
a similar sequence for half a dozen major components of the distro I
use. I'm not into the ARCH way of doing things.

Hi

measure the level of nerdiness

I like this "level of nerdiness" :slight_smile:

"How wold you estimate your level of nerdiness on a scale from 0 ("Comuters? wtf is that") to 10 ("I only use programs I wrote myself")
