[13:58] Techrights-sec no, I have not been doing anything there nor following it for ages. [13:58] Techrights-sec Last I checked, most of the developers had gone over to LO from AOO anyway [13:58] Techrights-sec and the latter was languishing. I wont' comment on their behavior or attitudes [13:58] Techrights-sec It would be important to know how their finances are arranged. [13:58] Techrights-sec They have a foundation based in Germany, but as mentioned I have not [13:58] Techrights-sec followed it nor know what their economic sources and priorities are. [13:58] Techrights-sec Perhaps that is published somewhere. [13:58] schestowitz there are companies like Collabora adding some "added value" to it and now "community edition" or something along those lines... ● May 31 [14:33] Techrights-sec That sounds like it might be an unfortunate change of direction. It could [14:33] Techrights-sec end up "open core" instead soon in one of the worse scenarios. [14:33] schestowitz can you check my current draft looks ok? [14:44] Techrights-sec checking [14:44] Techrights-sec skimming it, it looked ok [14:44] Techrights-sec There are a few spelling and grammar issues [14:44] Techrights-sec s/getting involve/getting involved/ [14:44] schestowitz fixed [14:45] Techrights-sec s/explored and research/explore and research/ [14:45] Techrights-sec (or the other way around, the tenses should match) [14:47] Techrights-sec s/really out to/really ought to/ [14:47] Techrights-sec s/advocate project/advocate projects/ [14:49] Techrights-sec s/laying the ground/laying the groundwork/ [14:49] Techrights-sec s/more self-hosted/more self-hosting/ [14:49] Techrights-sec s/Technical endeavours are ongoing/These technical endeavours are ongoing/ [14:56] MinceR schestowitz: pong [14:57] schestowitz I think it's done now [14:57] schestowitz I just noticed kiwi irc times out here on the users after 150 secs [14:57] MinceR the silent option would be good ● May 31 [15:43] schestowitz thanks ● May 31 [17:40] schestowitz http://ipkitten.blogspot.com/2021/05/breaking-oral-proceedings-in-g121-vico.html?showComment=1622460210381#c7989893880115769926 [17:40] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | BREAKING: Oral proceedings in G1/21 (ViCo) rescheduled due to procedural technicality - The IPKat [17:40] schestowitz "How would you react if you were summoned to Oral Proceedings with just 2 months' time left? Especially given the fundamental nature of the decision here, there should absolutely be sufficient time for all parties to prepare the case. This was true even before the two most crucial members of the EBoA have been exchanged mere days before the Oral Proceedings, and it is certainly true now. Compare this to a "normal" EBoA case in which [17:40] schestowitz the EPO has no "causa sua" interest and check how much time there usually is to prepare legal opinions and so on." ● May 31 [18:27] *rianne has quit (*.net *.split) [18:27] *ChanServ has quit (*.net *.split) [18:27] *liberty_box_ has quit (*.net *.split) [18:33] *rianne (~rianne@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell [18:33] *liberty_box_ (~liberty@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell [18:33] *ChanServ (ChanServ@services.) has joined #boycottnovell [18:33] *karatkievich.freenode.net gives channel operator status to ChanServ
