Hi, not sure where to flag this issue⌠posting it here as it concerns onboarding. We were updating the onboarding documents with Jeroenâs information, but got a warning that the file on âskills and experiencesâ is not working. This was the message that popped up:
The file âSkills and experiences v2.docxâ is corrupt and therefore cannot be opened. Collabora Office can try to repair the file. The corruption could be the result of document manipulation or of structural document damage due to data transmission. We recommend that you do not trust the content of the repaired document. Execution of macros is disabled for this document. Should Collabora Office repair the file?

Is there an IT-wizzard in the group who can check this? @ChrisM @alberto

Thanks for sharing that @Hannah!
@alberto, for reference, the file is saved in Team Reef > Teams set-up: Login â Nextcloud
Hi there folks! Until now I have been following The Reef via Hannah, as we are quite busy with our little family and with a distance issue in Leuven. I look forward to meet you all this Friday!

Hi Hannah, I donât know about the wizard part, but here is what I could do:
- I opened the file locally (after download).
- I found that Jeroenâs profile had somehow ended up in the header (so repeated on all pages!). It was too long to fit in the header, and this might have caused some problems.
- I moved his text into the body of the file and updated the table of content.
- I saved the resulting file in the same Nextcloud folder as âSkills and experiences v3â.
- I tried to have Collabora Online repair the old file, but it could not, so I renamed it as âSkills and experiences v2 (deprecated)â.
I hope I managed to catch all of the text relative to Jeroen. Could you check? The new file is here: Login â Nextcloud.
@alberto, that document is linked to in many places. Would it be possible to maintain the same link? If not, not a disaster, I should be able to track the links if need be.
Sorry, I canât find a way to do it.
Thanks Alberto, I finished the document now. And so sorry for destroying the previous document in some bizarre way.

Dear all @reeflings,
Time has come for us to take a decision about applying as full members or not.
And we finally decided not to.
It was a very difficult decision to take, as the project is very appealing to us on many aspects (thatâs why it took so long to make a choice).
We made lists of pros and cons and still couldnât really see what would be the best way to take, as both lists were equally long.
At the end, we somehow decided to follow our gut feeling that staying in the Reef wouldnât be the best choice for us regarding our current life situation and how we see our future in the coming years and beyond.
One of the main point which tipped the balance is that living in Jette has not been very fulfilling for us so far. Not because of Jette itself (a lot of nice places and things happening here!) but because it takes us too far away from most of our friends and potential supports in Brussels.
That makes a lot of things more complicated in our daily life and in our situation (being - as many of you - without family in Brussels), it means a lot.
There are of course other reasons and if itâs somehow interesting for you to discuss, we would of course be happy to do so.
We are also aware that itâs a challenging step to make the group complete so we want to thank you all (especially our buddy @ChrisM ) for the time you gave us and for you availability in general.
We hope we wonât regret our choice.
We are sure that the Reef will be a great place to live in and we wish you all the very best with this beautiful project !
Perrine & Christian
