Germanophone project used to have volunteers, not (much) related to OpenOffice.org business in key positions for a long time.
One reason was, that not many companies are constantly contributing to the germanophone project.
the small number of companies, who are active within the germanophone project don't take any favour from their position (at least they do it in a very polite way).

 Prospect - Selected Features - Words and Things
Although analytic philosophers have saved most of their bile for 20th century French philosophy, the latter is largely derived from Germanophone thinkers: Sartre from Husserl, Althusser from Marx, Foucault from Nietzsche, Lacan from Freud, Derrida from Heidegger.
Having to write an essay every week is no more conducive to broad scholarship than seeing your supervisor only once a year is conducive to a clear and cogently argued doctoral thesis.
One cannot help but feel that many of them treat ethical problems merely as an opportunity to try out their pet theory, or to show how clever they are.

 Le petit monde de Timtom » Am Hang   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Si cet auteur semble assez connu dans le monde germanophone, ce n’est en revanche pas vraiment le cas de l’autre côté du Mississippi et j’avoue que je n’en avais jamais entendu parler avant que ma colloc ne me conseille la lecture d’Am Hang.
Le texte, quasiment sans interruptions, est assez difficile à suivre, surtout pour quelqu’un de non germanophone.
Je suis donc mal placé pour juger, mais il semble que je ne sois pas le seul de cet avis.

 F. Rash: Linguistic Politeness and Greeting Rituals in German-speaking Switzerland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
My research shows that speakers of Swiss German, both young and old, and from all walks of life, believe that it is important to retain their traditional politeness rituals, and that greetings formulae are especially important.
Very few germanophone Swiss that people conform to polite greeting practices out of self-interest (as one of my informants suggested), rather they believe that politeness is important for social cohesion and a sign of respect and affection for one's fellow human beings.
My interviews showed me that greeting is the minimum token of politeness that most germanophone Swiss expect to give and receive at the beginning and end of a communicative act: greeting rituals are the heart of good manners and civilized behaviour for men and women, young and old.

So, today we it's not an utopie to say that, and if the flamands broke the alliance with wallons, the wallons want to be attached a France, the come back after 150-200 years of separation.

 U.S.ENGLISH Foundation Official Language Research - Italy: Legislation
Historically, the Italian Constitution has described these groups as “linguistic minorities”, which expressed their right to be protected.
Francoprovençal dialects do not enjoy the same official status, but their usage is very widespread and they are often the object of public initiatives aimed at their safeguard and ultimate expansion.
It is the hope of ethnic French speakers to gain a similar protection to the Germanophone dialects (Walser) which are spoken in three communities of the Lys valley (Gressoney-Saint-Jean, Gressoney-la Trinité, and Issime).
