oh dear. I'll notify Infra in a more direct way after this mail.
I also notice that my blogs.apache.org Roller account has a different password
than my ASF User ID account. (My Apache ID is used as my Roller Username. I
don't think that is a requirement).
When I log in I see a list of blogs I can edit, manage, or configure. The only
blog that is listed is the Apache OpenOffice one and I am shown as having
AUTHOR permissions.
Since this was all created when we were incubating and I think Rob Weir took
care of it, I have no idea what the ceremony is.
The Apache ID has to be added to the list and then - as admin - you can
set the access permissions, e.g., author.
Marcus, do you have MANAGE privileges or something different than AUTHOR?
I've admin access.
There seems to be a chicken-and-egg problem. I see no means to sign up via a
blog-page form, so someone must seed the account with AUTHOR permissions
for<https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/>.
Current admins are asfadmin (likey an Infra account), wave and me.
I have added a comment to the JIRA INFRA request.
If anyone has insight on how to activate an author, please say so. Also, do we
know how to have administrative permission for the OOo blog?
Normally:
- Login as admin
- On "Preferences - Members" add the mail address of the person
- Send an invitation
- The person accepts the invitation (via a link? I don't know)
- Now set the needed permissions
- Done
However, I was not successful in adding a mail address. Therefore the
ticket for Infra.

In the past I could add new users to the blog but this time I had to
open a ticket for Infra:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-11130
Please be patient.

thanks Marcus.
I'd like to upload it myself, so that I can add some pics too.
Can you provide me with an account?

Thanks for the text. Looks good and should be definitely go to our
blog.
So, do you want to blog this on your own (then you need access) or
should I
do this for you (then with my name as author)?

Apache OpenOffice Extensions and Templates New Sites
Since 2012 SourceForge has been distributing Apache OpenOffice
downloads
and actively maintaining both Apache OpenOffice Extensions
<https://extensions.openoffice.org> and Templates
<https://templates.openoffice.org> sites. I wrote a couple of
short blog
<https://sourceforge.net/blog/new-apache-openoffice-sites/>posts
<
http://robertogaloppini.net/2016/01/12/about-contributing-to-apache-
openoffice/
about the changes that affect end- users.
Extensions that have not been updated in a while report the
following
message: "Warning message This extension was not updated recently.
It
might
not work with latest versions of OpenOffice." See for example how
looks
like the old Oracle PDF Importer
<
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/oracle-pdf-import-
extension-openoffice-3x
.
Registered users see an additional notice on unmaintained extensions
that
allows them to contact the original author and apply for a co-
maintainer
role. Co-maintainers can edit the extension description and create
releases.
Registration emails and password related communications are now
delivered
in the language chosen by the user. It worth to add that we are more
than
happy to provide .po files to whoever is willing to help with
translations.
If need will arise we'll consider the possibility to upload
localization
files to the Apache Pootle server so that existing translation teams
can
help and the site can be translated into more than the current three
languages (English, French, German).
Recovering passwords has been simplified to cover cases where users
had
difficulties in resetting their passwords: users receive an email in
their
language with a simple link to reset their password with no further
steps.
Sites have been converted to use a more efficient anti-spam system
that
will improve handling by extensions maintainers: the system will not
trigger anti-spam warnings and page unpublishing when the author
modifies
a
popular extension.
*Changes users facing*.
*The new extensions home<http://extensions.openoffice.org/> *has a
strong
focus on the search box, a brand new logo, and an overall redesigned
look
and feel, where all menu items have icons for better readability.
*The new templates home*<http://templates.openoffice.org/> is
similar to
the Apache OpenOffice Extensions site, with a similar redesigned
look and
feel and different colors to highlight which application a given
template
can be applied to.
*The new administrative interface* includes a navigation bar at the
top
for
Extensions’ authors that links to the most common actions. We also
improved
the GUI, making it more intuitive for uploading extensions.
*Search* has been completely redesigned too. It’s worth mentioning
that
there are other changes sprinkled here and there, including an alert
for
outdated extensions that provides an easy way to contact the
original
author.

Over the last few months we have been busy redesigning the Apache
OpenOffice Templates and Extensions experience, basically
incorporating
feedback and simplifying the existing procedures.
As a result both sites are now easy to use both for end-users -
see how
prominent is the search or how using different colors we made
trivial to
understand for which application a given template has been
designed for
-
and admins - the most common actions are all in a top bar, and
uploading
is
now trivial.
In the process we redesigned the look and feel, iconized all menu
items
and
more.
I wrote a quick blog post at my blog, see
http://robertogaloppini.net/2016/01/12/about-contributing-to-
apache-openoffice/
thanks a lot for this great news and improvement. If there is still
room
in your daily schedule then a new post in our blog would be great,
too.
