 V te glasbeni komiteciju, ki se vzal, odstavili, da se prišli. Dobrali smo da se pomečiti kaj je modnit in se je zrčit, in če smo počkali. Zato vse odpočenje, ki smo vzal... Protože je, da se je izgledniko, je skupan, da se ogrojnega poključenja je, kaj je nekaj poziv, kako je izgleda. Bih, ki je obraj. Tukaj, ki je obraj, ki je obraj, ki je obraj, ki je obraj, ki je obraj, ki je obraj, ki je obraj, ki je obraj, ki je obraj. Tako, da se tukaj našli, da smo počusti, da se zeločili in zeločili. I tako, to je počusti, september 28.20. To je moment, kako v OpenOffice komuniteti zeločili, da se zeločili v in independentu fundaciju. Načo, da je fundacija, kaj je zeločil, dokonamentod, da je tudi projekte, produkt, liberejo objez, ali, da je tudi dokonamentod, liberejo projekte, ki je nekaj projekter, če vse je vse, nekaj dokonament je matlji, ko počke, kaj nekaj se začale, zelo, nekaj se začale, z vsehovo stranje in za vsehovo bezpočki. Fondation je been created for promoting pre-Softor, but also for taking care of the freedom of the users. Because one of the goals was to make possible for users to be free, to be not blocked by closed source software and the limitations that are coming when someone is interacting with those kinds of softwares." The other immediate connection is, of course, the promotion of the document freedom. And with that, it's clear that our focus is open document format and the great opportunity when it was decided that with ODF everyone can have. Because ODF, it's a – the other point – an open standard, it's an open format and it's the way for users to make sure that ten years from now, 20 years from now, their documents will be still available, still accessible, in jazim je to zazak, da je bilo svoj, da je ne kaj površnjala, za ko se vidi, da je svega, z vsem izvah, z vseh dokomentiracijovacja projekta in tezršenje ljudi in filter, ki imajo nekaj, in rečenje dokomentiracijovacja in z that, je to površnjala, da je otev nekaj dokomentiracijovacja. in da vse dokonvene poživali, je začala prijevati dokonvene v tebe, začal ti je zbranje, da je zelo poživali vse dokonvene, začal ti je podnovačno zelo prijevati dokonvene. Pobjal ti se dokonvene, da se pripreferila, da je zelo prijevana. In vse in v spremu tudi, da je začala prijevati, zelo početve, da je neče prijevane, je to zapecivane, kar je izgledan. And, for sure, we can't forget, as a foundation, that we also need to support, let's say, we main project that is a Libre office, and we need to continue to invest also in the development of Libre office. Everything can work on if all those pieces are kept together in vsi se vsegače, ko se vsegače, vsegače, vsegače. Tarsden je zelo vsečen, da je to zelo. Vseč smo od toh, da smo vsegače, da smo vsegače, da smo vsegače, in da smo vsegače, da smo vsegače, because it's not something we feel that is part of our project. And starting with those values, then there was the definition of the way to work. As you can see, the idea is that everyone can bring expertise, skills, ideas, in vsi se do는지, na nam轱 nekako. Kakimto so pričili, da ima pa med zrešanje in vse počeli. Ando vse pa pričali in mu do investicijo. Dinajo to, da je srečen to, da bi trajali zradi v ekosistem, in da ste na pomembnačku, in da in srečen pomembnačku naja, The rest of the volunteers that are bridging together is also a part that can't be ignored. Everything can work only if we have these puzzles of different pieces that are put together. For creating TDF and for making TDF going forward. To je počet, da, da smo tukaj, da se je trajno, da smo tukaj nekaj pričo, zato zdobimo, da smo načali in tukaj, da smo tukaj pošli in tega, da smo pomembili tukaj, ker, kako tako ne bo, nekaj poslutimo, da je v tkaj trajnje, umid likely that will bring us in the right place in the future. TDF is a legal entity based in Germany. For on the website you will find references not only to the foundation itself but also to other activities the funding is taking care of like zelo jutru konstithov. Konstithov protoval je razvaju in co 보 je začo način Scrub in nič nekaj ne jazili ljudi, neželji in njič nekaj ljudi in want začin začne in ljudi, professionalno prorodje in tov. There is of course the need to have some support, some experience of the developers are helping or experience the trainers or migrant hours, helping in using librarians or migrating from something else in this is all possible because n capturing all those experiences together into the foundation that we built together several years ago where we should really try to do our best for steving the foundation in the right direction. about the governance, we have several bodies inside the foundation and we have, of course, the board of directors that is the body that represents legally the foundation that takes care of handling the budget, approving the budget that then, as a project, everyone of us can use, can spend, can use in the right way and part of the budget includes also tenders and with tenders we can focus on development and support of areas of our projects that should get improved. The other body is the membership committee, part is here, and our focus is more on the board of trustees, that is the other body of the nation, and we are taking care of the membership, we are doing the reviews of existing membership, we are evaluating new requests to join the foundation, and in general, we are also trying to take care and address the needs, the feedback that are coming from all the contributors for making the foundation a better place to contribute. There are also some other formalities that both the bodies are taking care of, and we have elections, of course, the next election that is upcoming is the election of the board, that will be this October, November, we will start, you will read more, you will get information on the timeline and all the details that the, in particular, the members of the board of trustees need to know for fulfilling one of their duties, and normally the setup is done in a way that we have the membership committee that is handling the elections for the board, and when is the turn of the membership committee to be reelected is the board in charge for the election. There is, I was already mentioning it, and it's the board of trustees. Commonly we are calling also the trustees as members, and sometimes we are mixing up between contributors and members, but from this setup of the foundation, the idea is that the board of trustees is the group of members that are part of the foundation that can elect the members of the membership committee, the members of the board that can run for one of those bodies, and we are talking about individuals that are interested and committed in everything that is around the governance of the project. I will come back later on the role of the trustee, but yeah, there's much more to say on that. The last body that you can see here is the advisory board. The advisory board officially, it's not a real voting body, but in any case includes companies or other projects that are interested to give advices to the foundation, and in such a way they can contribute and steer a bit the direction of the foundation itself. Now back to the details of the governance. Do you want to? Yes, the board of directors, as Marina said, they have to steer the foundation, they have decisions, they have legal staff and so forth, and when the membership committee, which are most of us, as she said, we are in charge to approve or reject applying applications for becoming a member or remaining a member. There is a technical detail from this year, we have changed our tooling so to apply for the membership or renew for it, you must be already registered in single sign-on, which is, you know, the platform, which authenticates our users all over our system infrasystems. But for that, we will have a separate session with some extra details on the improvement made for the handling of the renewal. It's a follow-up from the discussions that we had also, the previous year, when probably some of you already heard the name of Proteus, and yeah, with that we will focus more on how we are working and what we are doing normally as a membership committee. But back to you on the activities of the commission. Yeah, there is also another speech tomorrow about, you know, those topics we will get probably more in detail. To become a member you have to somehow contribute, so be a partner of the community, and the contributions can be in many areas, just like translation, documentation, blog contribution, viki, and marketing, just like giving letters or something like that, videos and so on and so forth, telegram and mastodon and every kind of social media. Then there is all the design area, templates, icons, user interface and user experience, then improvements, sorry, collaborating in the infrastructure, because we have several servers with tons of software installed, which need to be maintained up to date, as well as operating systems and all the virtual machines and so on and so forth. So then there is the bug reporting, which is usually also a good starting point for newcomers, and the bug triage much better. Then the testing, the user support, also replying in the discourse or emails or whatever, or also group on telegram or whatever. And then, yeah, try growing the community, so spreading the word and inviting all the people become part of the community first and then members with both my mouth or telegram, by the way, becoming an advocate. Then there are trainings and code development, which is fundamental, obviously, but it's not the only, as you can see here, as well as the development of extensions, which is sometimes a starting point as well for becoming a developer. And then, yes, developing the ODF, the implementation of ODF file format within LibreOffice, which is something that attains also to the document liberation project, which is something that we sometimes forget to mention, or at least we don't do it enough, and then import and export filters, which is exactly what document liberation is for, and the promotion of open standards and open format. So, as I mentioned, it's not needed to be a member to contribute, because you can contribute freely, and you are invited and free to do it, but to be a member, you must have already contributed, and possibly you should have done it in a regular way. This means that it is not about having a kind of a sprint, and having, for example, translating the whole software once, and nothing more. We appreciate more, maybe less, but more constantly. And, yeah, represent the needs of the labor ERK, the membership committee, and no, sorry, the members. The members represent the needs of the local communities, because when you become a member, usually you are already contributing, but possibly you know many other contributors which are not, so in that moment, until they come part of the foundation, so becoming members, you can, anyway, talk by means of them. And, yes, both the community and the Board of Trustees, so the members, are supported by the Board, by the membership committee, by the whole team, you know, that we have a team of employees and collaborators. Yep, what can do the members? They can vote and those steer the foundation, because what they vote are the representant of the Board of Trustees, which are the Board of Directors and us, the membership committee. We are both voted by the members, but the members can also run, and please do it, to become part of the membership committee or the Board. So there are elections coming now for the Board, so please apply, if you are willing to give more support and to help steering the foundation. And then, yep. Oh, sorry, please. So Heijel was mentioning that the Board of Trustees doesn't have really the power to steer the project. Let me tell you why this is wrong. On paper, you could say, okay, I can only vote for the Board or for the membership committee or decide to run for one of those bodies, but when we don't have elections and we are normally doing our activities, you are a member and you have all the right to share your feedback, communicate with the Board, communicate with the membership committee. Be vocal when it's needed and tell us if we are going in the wrong direction. This is the point. You are not just the last brick that is strolling around. You are part of the foundation and what you think as a member of the Board of Trustees it's important. You have a voice that is a point. This is probably one of the things that we should communicate better to the members of the Board of Trustees. You can tell us if we are not doing our job properly, you should tell us, because you are a member of the Board of Trustees, like the others that are already here, and it's important for us to get the feedback of our community, of our members. We can try to set some goals as Torsdam was sharing before. We can try to work on something, but we also need to be connected with all the other people that are part of the foundation, that are doing their job, their contributions every day. This is the point. So you can see the project. Yes, as such as in any kind of democracy, you vote for representatives, then you should be able somehow to influence them and remember them that they are representing you, but this is so quite common in every democracy. By the way, the reason video, tdf.io slash be a member, which explain those things we are trying to explain and give some motivation also to become a member as well. So if you're willing to contribute, and I hope there is some new comments in you today, especially locals, please do. You are really invited and welcome to apply, to first contribute, find an area where you have passionate, and so where you can enjoy and have fun, both you and the project, because something we remember yesterday during the community meeting is that the fundamental is that you need to have fun, because otherwise as a volunteer you will stop doing it. So the most important is to have fun. So find something that is funny for you, funny for spending your time, and it will surely help somehow in any way the project itself. And indeed, your contribution will be appreciated and credited, because we have the web page of the website where every contributor is listed, being a member or not. This is a page to apply for membership, stop it please. So if you have already contributed in the past, and you have done it regularly, please don't hesitate to visit this page. It will require for the single sign-on authentication, and then you will find the way to apply for membership. And we will review your contributions and possibly approve you. So I don't know if my colleagues want to say something. I would like to... Hello. Let me say that from Latin America we have a lot of people that probably won't be here with us at a conference in person. So I understand the point of AAL. I understand the point of Marina Gabriela, and I have my own point of view, as we all have inside the membership committee. I would like to see more ways to heard the local communities. It's my point of view as a member of the Latin American community, because we have talents there, we have people contributing a lot, and we are growing, and we want to demonstrate this to the global community. We are in time? No? It's finished? Okay, okay. Well, probably we will have more time to meet and share during the conference. Thank you. Some words? Just thank you. Thank you very much for everyone to contributing to the liberal office. Okay, nothing special, but if you do not feel you don't have enough influence on the decisions of the TDF, there is one simple remedy, run for the board. But beware, this could fire back. You will invest a lot of time then for that. Ja. I'm stealing you just a few seconds more. We touched a bit how we are working on the foundation structure. We started to discuss where things seems to be understood in different ways. Please keep in mind that we have a session on Friday that will be exactly with the membership committee where we want to really hear you, so it's not a presentation with slides and you are just listening, but will be a moment where we want to get feedback, also crazy ideas, complaints, whatever. Talk to us and let us know where we can improve TDF. Thanks a lot.
