As I mentioned, I too, would like to learn more about this relationship, =
between OOoES and OOo. In general, I encourage local NGOs supporting =
local efforts on behalf of OpenOffice.org. These could include weekly =
meetups (or the like), local marketing, events, etc. There is little (to =
no) oversight required, as I trust people in the community.

However, it's one thing to maintain an NGO for local events promoting =
OOo and quite another to have what seems to be a parallel community in =
which the OOo lead directs members of OOo *away* from OOo.

The Brazilian group, BrOffice, long maintained a relatively similar =
project, BrOffice, but they were good sports about it and strove to =
synchronize one to the other, if not always successfully. Still, there =
was not the same effort, I believe as I see now evident in OOoES. There =
was also the impression of good faith in all efforts displayed by the =
BrOffice group.=20

So: Alexandro: What is the intention of OOoES? For I agree with Ariel: =
you seem to be misusing (even abusing) OpenOffice.org resources to =
provide for your OOoES at our expense.=20
