Hi :slight_smile:
The first email is meant to be informative and show many options, not just for
unsubscribing but for many other functions. The part about how to unsubscribe
is this bit
"To unsubscribe send a message to:

users+unsubscribe@libreoffice.org
"

So, to unsubscribe try sending an email to
users+unsubscribe@libreoffice.org

Notice that the "users+" part at thte beginning is an important part of the
address but in some email clients it gets treated differently from the rest of
the address, ie not blue and underlined.

It doesn't matter what, if anything, is in the subject-line and it doesn't need
anything in the contents of the email either. Note that when you send an email
to that address you get a proper confirmation email which sometimes gets thrown
out by spam filters.

I hope that helps!
Good luck and regards from

I have no more problems with LO than OO on linux, windows or mac, overall a better experience. I suppose the usefull information here is that it is easier to have a stable installation of LO on linux and for more productivity (fewer problems) you must choose your version of LO to install (as I also had to with OO).

Well said!

I find this attitude most pervasive in the Ubuntu crowd, but it exists
to some extent with all distributions. When you get into the
"management" of companies, especially companies with 5 PCs yet name a
Director of IT, the "we don't pay for nuthin'" attitude is even policy.

I have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars of time and cash to
various OpenSource projects. Participated in driver bug shoots and even
published a completely free book to provide both promotion AND A USER
MANUAL to a Java class library I found to be above all others out there.

http://www.free-ebooks.net/ebook/The-Minimum-You-Need-to-Know-About-Java-and-xBaseJ

All users get to pull it down completely free. Months of my life and
thousands of dollars in professional editing to provide what most
OpenSource projects lack, a usable manual + tutorial.

Hi :slight_smile:

I noticed a relevant email about this sort of thing earlier today so i have
forwarded the request to the postmaster email address

"
So, if anyone on this list has issues with unsubscribing and cannot manage them
on their own, feel free to contact
postmaster@documentfoundation.org
"

I hope this helps! Good luck and regards from

Hi Alex,

Well, some weeks (ago?) I've seen passing some discussion about this
(not followed details).

The devil is in the detail :-))

Well, there are a lot of interesting details below.

But do they really say something about this:

But to me it looks as a misinterpretation.
- yes, support contracts are important, because also that generates
revenues for the companies sponsoring developers of LibreOffice;
- no, a support contract will not in general guarantee 'enterprise
stability', because... what ís 'enterprise stability'?

I simply agree with you about things that have to mature, that a better roadmap would be great and so on.
(leaving your words below as reference (1), not snipping them as case of exception)
I could even add some more from my own experience.

But I do not understand why the current situation per see will be a blocker for professional deployment. Just as OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice is used in enterprises. Easy enough to think of possible improvements, but that is not the same.
Also for bug-fixes: that there is no guarantee that any bug will be fixed. If you really want to have one fixed, there is the obvious choice.

Kind regards,
Cor
