| 20240718-02 | 2024-07-18 | Following the signature of the Eclipse Membership Agreement, we should sign the attached Open Regulatory Compliance working group participation agreement, which is requested to become a working member of the project (we could decide to limit our presence to guest status, but I think that once the group will start putting together the policy documents it will be important for TDF to contribute as a member). There are no fees to pay for FOSS foundations.
The vote is to mandate Florian to sign the Open Regulatory Compliance working group participation agreement |

| 20240718-01 | 2024-07-18 | OFE EU Open Source Policy Summit 2025 will take place in Brussels on 30-31 January 2025. This is the 11th edition, and will be the first over two days. LibreOffice competitors such as OnlyOffice have sponsored the past edition.
The event is attended by most of the open source foundations and companies active in Europe, and by a growing number of politicians and public officers at the EU level. It is a good networking opportunity, to reaffirm TDF’s interest in being an active member of the European open source community, and involved in policy related issues. Although we have always attended for free the event, and we might be able to do the same in 2025, I suggest to sponsor at Bronze Sponsorhip lowest level, for an amount of € 2,160 + VAT as early bird, to be confirmed by 31 July 2024. The vote is to approve the Bronze Sponsorship for the OFE EU Open Source Policy Summit 2025, for an amount of € 2,160 + VAT |

Noticing that for a longer time, there are thoughts about something as a staff policy; the topic is surrounded by a variety of thoughts and emotions; there are undeniably issues and tensions in the community that could benefit from (also) guidelines, policies, rules, …;
Finding that it is needed work on a result that really benefits the community and TDF;
Decides to start a carefully crafted process to that end; allowing input and involvement from all sides, focusing on positive input and intentions; and that is looking as follows:
Gathering input (4 weeks)
What experiences, wishes, hopes, goals are there, that should benefit from guidelines, rules, procedures inthe to be written policy?
Input is asked from members of staff, MC, Board of Directors, Board of Trusties, Advisory Board, and the community. People are asked to state - if relevant to them - whichitems are more or less urgent or important in theirview. Of course input based on experiences, existing policiesetc is welcome as well.
We expect all ideas to be brought in with positive intention, and shaped/written as such. Questions for clarification are fine. Discussion if certain input is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, is not asked for in this phase. People who want to provide anonymous input with e.g. experiences, are advised to find another community member that wan write something as an example, case, or whatever.
Writing of the draft (2 months)
Boards work, that can of course seek assistance.
Gathering feedback (2 weeks)
Everyone involved.
Writing the almost final version (3 weeks)
Last check: feedback from those who engaged in phase 3 (1 weeks)
Vote (1 weeks)

| 20230710-01 | 2023-07-10 | Technical Budgeting Procedure
Preamble This is a document generated to immediately tackle the budgeting process and make all the concerned parties aware of the process and of the consequences of their actions and decisions. This is intended as a chapter in the general tendering process. As far as conflict of interest is concerned, the TDF has implemented a Conflict of Interest Policy (BoD) Version: 1.3.2 as last modified on 15th February 2022. The same document however does not specifically focus on ESC ranking and budgeting; precise procedural rules need to be implemented to create a sufficiently robust procurement procedure and show that TDF takes seriously the issue of separating who decides what from whom (potentially) benefits or suffers from the decisions. Protection of Staff and separation of infrastructure – as per Procurement rules analysis dated 25h of January 2023 – MUST be implemented as precondition for the ESC budget process. Internal or external, non-conflicted competence to independently assess tender descriptions should be in place as soon as possible, as it will be relevant for the actual tendering phase later on. While lack of this does not block the ESC budget process, it would block the actual tendering afterwards. Any Conflicts of Interests, as defined in the Declaration of Potential Conflict section, MUST be published as precondition for the ESC budget process to be executed. |

the following decision, which was taken in private on 2023-04-03, is now made public in accordance with our statutes:
With the changes in the board composition, and overall reflecting on how past and present boards usually conducted their business, this board has discussed collaboration and sharing responsibilities more extensively. As recently brought up by Emiliano, for one example, the full board is in general responsible for all topics. Sometimes detailed work is handed over to appointed individuals (that can be directors, Florian/staff, MC members or TDF members in general). No decision-making takes place in those groups; which always rests with the full board. To ensure buy-in from the board, it is usually (but not categorically) advisable to have at least one board member present in those working groups. This can then be ad-hoc, and does not need to follow the strict rules of procedure update process. It also resolves many debates, since those groups do the work and the regular reporting; decision-making remains with the full board. Therefore the proposed wording for the rules of procedure (replacing the existing § 3): § 3. Detailed work on complex topics can happen by delegation into working groups. From time to time, the board will appoint dedicated working groups, with the responsibility to produce suggestions on specific topics, paying attention to possible different views among board members. No decision-making takes place in those groups, which will always rest with the full board.

## TDF Developer Hiring Resolution 2022
"Whereas, - with TDF stewarding, among other things, a well-working symbiosis of various companies and volunteer developers inside of the LibreOffice community; - given that in the current situation, there are certain areas where extra developers can add value with additional activities, that complement the existing contributions; - with this being an ongoing need; Therefore the board resolves that: - TDF will seek to hire a developer(s); - who will report to the ED as a regular team member, and consult weekly with the ESC, which will oversee the technical direction of the work; - who will work in such a way, that both volunteer and ecosystem peers regard them as helpful, supportive and complementing their own work; - for whom as the initial areas of work, the board identifies improving RTL/CTL writing support and accessibility for LibreOffice; as well as mentoring new volunteers in these specific areas. After that, depending on skills available, Writer tables, Base, general regression fixing, Draw, and Math are the next focus areas; - thus, there will be two job postings, with requirements matching the initial focus areas listed above, and one or two developers will be hired initially; - after 6, and after 9 months following the developers starting their work, the board will do an assessment of the situation and results. Requirements for the candidates:
Footnote: for a requirements analysis on the need for hiring developers, please refer to information on the pages 3-8 of the abandoned dev proposal: https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/qofn646Jg6bmPYB " |

| 20220614-01 | 2022-06-14 |
the following decision, which was taken in private on 2022-06-14, is now made public in accordance with our statutes.
The German Federal Court of Justice decided (in judgement of 15 April 2021, case number III ZR 139/20, [1]) that the following clause in the statutes of a non-profit foundation effectively hinders third parties to contract to its detriment: “Der Vorstand ist in seiner Vertretungsmacht durch den Zweck der Stiftung beschränkt.”(non-binding translation “The Board of Directors is limited in its power of representation by the purpose of the Foundation.”). In order to protect The Document Foundation this clause therefore should be placed in the statutes [1] in § 8 section 1 which shall then read: “§ 8 Aufgaben des Vorstandes (1) Der Vorstand entscheidet in allen grundsätzlichen Angelegenheiten nach Maßgabe der Satzung in eigener Verantwortung und führt die laufenden Geschäfte der Stiftung. Der Vorstand hat die Stellung eines gesetzlichen Vertreters und vertritt die Stiftung gerichtlich und außergerichtlich. Der Vorstand ist in seiner Vertretungsmacht durch den Zweck der Stiftung beschränkt. Die Vertretung der Stiftung erfolgt durch zwei Vorstandsmitglieder, von denen eines der Vorsitzende oder der stellvertretende Vorsitzende sein muss. In dieser Weise kann für bestimmte Geschäfte Einzelbevollmächtigung erteilt werden. Im Innenverhältnis ist der stellvertretende Vorsitzende gehalten, nurbei Verhinderung des Vorsitzenden tätig zu werden.” Non-binding translation [3]: "§ 8 Tasks of the Board of Directors (1) The Board of Directors decides on all fundamental matters on its own authority in accordance with the Articles and conducts the ongoing business of the foundation. The Board of Directors has the status of a legal representative and represents the foundation in and out of court. The Board of Directors is limited in its power of representation by the purpose of the Foundation. The foundation shall be represented by two members of the Board of Directors, one of whom must be the chairman or vice-chairman. Individual empowerment may be granted for certain transactions in this way. The vice chairman will take action on internal matters only if the chairman is unavailable." In accordance with § 14 statutes the Board of Directors should make this change to the statutes as it does not affect the foundation’s goals and does not alter the original design of the foundation or facilitates the fulfilment of the foundation’s goals. The change of the statutes only becomes effective upon approval by the Foundation Supervisory Authority. |

People with LibreOffice Certification could apply for Professional Certification after 12 months from the first certification, based on a migration/training project with extensive documentation (a detailed report of the migration project, or a detailed evaluation of the training project).

3. For "LibreOffice Vanilla", grant a Windows app store license to allotropia, for one year, to June 30, 2022, and do not prolongue that particular license for CIB. We effectively shift the license from CIB to allotropia. Conditions and parameters the same as they were for CIB, apart from the changes mentioned in this vote.
We add a requirement for the licensee, that in case of expiry in the next 3 months, and the will to prolongue, or in case of relevant changes on their end, they must reach out to us in due course. |

2. For CIB, prolongue the existing Windows app store as well as the general license, only for "LibreOffice powered by CIB", for one year, to June 30, 2022. Conditions and parameters stay the same, apart from the changes mentioned in this vote.
If possible, we will merge both licenses (general and app store) into one. If possible, we will have one document with all the current CIB licensees, instead of one agreement per licensee. If possible, we will add the rationale for the license, e.g. along the lines of "for providing an LTS version of LibreOffice, with the technical service provider allotropia". We add a requirement for the licensee, that in case of expiry in the next 3 months, and the will to prolongue, or in case of relevant changes on their end, they must reach out to us in due course. |

Screenshots for documentation, website and marketing should preferably be taken on GNU/Linux, but may also be taken on any other operating system. The Steering Committee recommends a consistent visual appearance (e.g. theming and branding) for the screenshots taken on the selected operating system. It is up to the LibreOffice community how to achieve that consistency. |
