To All KOffice Developers,  
  
	We, the undersigned, believe that KOffice has failed to provide a  
compelling desktop office suite for KDE users. Furthermore, we believe that  
this can be attributed to Lukas Tinkl's inability to lead the KOffice  
development team. The collapse of the KOffice 1.3 release schedule and  
KDE-Debian's refusal of KOffice has clearly demonstrated the need for a new  
beginning.  
  
	We believe that the failure of KOffice can be attributed to Lukas  
Tinkl's lack of interpersonal skills and indecisiveness. We wish to bring  
forth the plight of the Czech translator, where Lukas Tinkl failed to  
recognise his talents and contributions to KDE.   
  
	Therefore, we ask Lukas Tinkl to show reason, within 48 hours, why  
he should not be removed from his current capacity as maintainer/release  
coordinator for KOffice.  
  
	Should he fail to do so, we propose that David Faure be reinstated  
as maintainer of KOffice in light of his leadership and organisational  
talents, and his previous success in this position.  
  
	We ask that KlavadalensdatkonsultAB to support David Faure in this  
endeavour. We also ask all developers who believe that David Faure would be  
a superior maintainer to Lukas Tinkl, to sign this petition. If, however,  
should you decide that Lukas Tinkl is better suited to this position, then  
please ignore this message and we apologise for your time.  
  
Respectfully,  
1. Stefan Carl  
2. Azuya Hunt  
3. Chief Nelson Udu
