I’d finance this documentary film project but the Indiegogo funding campaign is over now. Time limit is the main problem with those crowd funding sites. Many potential supporters find the projects on them after the deadline.

English is an evolving language originating from the old German (thanks in part Lord of Rings book) borrowing from other (Latin based like French due to William the Conqueror and Spanish). Apache is not English yet it is successful as server.

Comment on LibreOffice 4.0 And The Power of Brands by Rudd

Rudd — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:59:18 +0000

The whole afair is very much unfortunate.

In terms of branding and trademarks, we often get it wrong.
Specifically, the brand/trademark for about the last ten years of development was “OpenOffice.org”. “OpenOffice” is just the popular name, and it is not a trademark. Even if you read the relevant FAQs, they do mention this piece of information.

About two years ago “OpenOffice.org” died as a project. “LibreOffice” has been the first child, and then was “Apache OpenOffice”. These are their respective proper names.

Strangely, if you visit http://www.openoffice.org, you are showered with misleading information about a “OpenOffice”, and then links towards “Apache OpenOffice”. No reference at all to “LibreOffice”. Per the popular meme, this is the “Scumbag Apache Software Foundation” attitude. They are trying to milk the OpenOffice name in order to divert people to “Apache OpenOffice”.

From the people at the Apache Software Foundation the most toxic appears to be Rob Weir (IBM). Read the discussion at https://lwn.net/Articles/532665/ and the comments by Rob Weir (username: rcweir). It is about a relevant issue with the code from Symphony. Instead of putting the issue to rest, Rob Weir is attacking everyone.

As long as Rob Weir (IBM) is at the Apache Software Foundation, I do not see any way that the situation will get better. He is a bully and a toxi person.
