Shane, I have been through both and made a few changes. Nearly all are putting in the reg mark for the first Co in every section. Rest just mainly a few minor grammatical/date changes. They are marked up under changes. Anyone else has any changes? Rgds G

[Georg C. F. Greve] Open Standards links
by Georg C. F. Greve 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

FYI. Met Bruno Dias, Deputado do Grupo Parlamentar do Partido Comunista Portugues in Lisbon yesterday, he spoke about a legislative proposal for Open Standards that will be discussed in the next period by the Portuguese parliament. So I sent him some information and a plug for Certified Open. Regards, Georg -- Georg C. F.

Principles of Operation - final draft call
by Shane Martin Coughlan 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

Dear board Please find attached my final draft of the principles of operation. I have updated the logo. I have made the terms and conditions sections clearer. I have merged the trademark policy. I need input regarding the trademark policy as it appears to include quite a lot of information from the terms and conditions, some of which is legacy information. (a) Why is this so? (b) Should we not simply refer to the T+Cs instead of quoting? Apart from the issues highlighted above I believe this document to be ready for formal review and potential release by the board. Rod, Bob, can you please check this document for errors etc?

Microsoft's statements regarding patents and Free Software
by Shane Martin Coughlan 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Dear board I think it's worth reading Steve Ballmer's comments in full here: http://www.betanews.com/article/Microsoft_Scrambling_to_Explain_Ballmer_Com… The two key quotes are: "We happen to believe in what I'll call a commercial model for us, because it's a little hard to rent the office space here unless we have revenue, etc. But that doesn't mean there's one model that inherits the Earth. We're saying as a commercial enterprise, we're engaged in commercial software; there'll be other people who will choose, for whatever set of reasons, and with whatever set of business objectives, to engage in an open source approach." "There are plenty of other people who may also have intellectual property. And every time an Eolas comes to Microsoft and says, "Pay us," I suspect they also would like to eventually go to the open source world. So getting what I'll call an intellectual property interoperability framework between the two worlds I think is important." What's interesting here is that he's using the language of commercial vs Free Software, thus suggesting that companies engaging with Free Software do not place a commercial proposition in their development and deployment, a manifestly untrue statement. Secondly, his second quote suggests that paying Microsoft for undeclared patents is an "interoperability framework" for business. There is quite a lot of overlap regarding the language he is using and the language we will use to launch CO. We need to ensure that we take this into account during the publicity phase.
