We don't see many cases where they create their own screen shots. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen, of course. But it may mean that those who create their own screenshots don't think they need permission to use them, so they never write to us. When we are contacted it is almost always for permission to use an existing screenshot from our website. But certainly it is one possibility to create in advance screenshots in just English but then say on the website that we can create additional languages on request. However, the more that we do in advance the easier it is for the journalist example, and more likely they will use our materials. Sure anybody can create screenshots on their own but the idea here is to have a set of high quality screenshots in place. It makes a huge difference to have a screenshot of an hello world document or a more sophisticated document with real life content and well formatted, or a more complex spreadsheet with charts, or a power presentation ... We don't need a huge collection but 1 or 2 for each application or a collage of some of them together. I think it's basic press and marketing material that we should have in place. Simply to make it easy for people who need a screenshot and that we are satisfied with the outcome.

Most often they are asking to use a specific screenshot from the website that they have identified, such as: http://www.openoffice.org/product/pix/writer-big.png Generally, Apache permits the use of product screenshots in books, per the trademark policy here: http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/faq/#insidebook However, that only covers the trademark. There is another rights owner to consider, the author of the document included in the screenshot, including any text, graphics, images, etc., displayed. Of course, the book publisher can avoid that issue by making their own screenshots. But that is extra work. Generally they are trying to clear permissions for dozens or hundreds of images. The more difficult we make it, the less likely they are use it. Since this is free publicity for us, we should try to make it easy for them to use. Another issue is that our posted screenshots are quite old. They don't reflect the new Apache branding. Here's how we can do better: 1) Create a set of demo documents that showcase the capabilities of OpenOffice. Use either public-domain text (Charles Dickens, for examples) or Loren Ipsum, or original text contributed to the project under ALv2 by the original authors. We want documents, for all of our applications. that look good, and are clearly under ALv2. Multilingual text would be ideal, or separate documents for different languages. (We do get requests from book publishers in many countries, so having a native-language screenshot is ideal) 2) Create screenshots for each document, on each platform Do it with AOO 3.4.1 for now. But plan on repeating with each major new release. Agree on screen resolutions, color depth, and image formats, so we have uniformity. 3) Host the screenshots online, along with text that explains their purpose and permissions. What do we think? I can help with the webpage and with screen shots on Windows. But I'll need help assembling a set of showcase demo files. Note: aside from book publishers, this will also be useful for journalists who want a screenshot for an article. -Rob - To unsubscribe, e-mail: marketing-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: marketing-h...@openoffice.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Let's really try to make a simple list of What and Why. This should be considered as a wishlist and not a list of actions we demand: we tell the Board what could help in making our project more efficient (and we will likely ask Infra to comment on the list before we send it); the Board, while allocating resources, can use these suggestions (discussions about what budget to use may or may not be relevant, but a list of priorities would be fine for the time being). So: What: Buy a code signing certificate Why [please check!]: This would allow the project to digitally sign the convenience binaries it ships, and avoid Windows and Mac OS X warnings about unsigned installers. The MacOSX part is not yet finally evaluated but we need either a valid certificate and/or a Apple developer ID. The process itself has to be evaluated. What: Acquire a *.openoffice.org certificate Why: This would allow to avoid false alarms when enforcing HTTPS to browse OpenOffice sites, and give the possibility of secure login to wiki.openoffice.org and forum.openoffice.org What: Allocate budget for additional domains Why: This would help in transferring legacy domains to Apache, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-4906 What: Officially support MWiki [remember this is a wishlist!] Why: wiki.openoffice.org is an important service to our users, with over 15K [right?] pages and many [how many?] users. And we don't want to put an additional burden on Infra without getting additional resources for it. What: Officially support phpBB Why: forum.openoffice.org is an important service to our users, with [numbers?]. And we don't want to put an additional burden on Infra without getting additional resources for it. Anything else? Buildbots, Pootle? Pootle: the hardware should be sufficient to work with the server and we should have enough disk space for ~ 3 OpenOffice related projects. I am thinking here about stable long term product lines that potentially get more translations later or important fixes or changes.

Questions
HiThank you, I am sorry disturbing you.would you like to help me? I think you do so.I would like to ask you serveral questions.1. Have you AOO project's requirement specifications?2. Have you AOO project's architecture design, each kind of design document related with architecture design? for exmaple, class diagram, use-case diagram, dependency and etc.3. Now I am conding in Linux konsole, have you other developmet tools like MS visual studio or Eclipse and where do you work in ? What developmet tools do you use?4. Today, AOO is very much large and heavy. It needs high cpu and memory. From here, you lost lots of user. have you solution it? If you have, what is it?5. In future, Offline Office would disappear and Web Office like google doc is used widely. I make WebOffice by using AOO, is it possible? Your dev guide is very general and is used at coding time by developer fixing any bug in the subproject.I can't know your total idea. I wish hear in detail. I wait your kindness answer. Bye..

I set up the original locations. And I've tried several times to update, as recently as last week. But Ohloh times out and will not accept the new locations. I need to debug this further to see if it is an issue on the ASF side or the Ohloh side. I'll be talking to them later today, let me know if I can help. It is not urgent. The numbers do not reflect what we're actually doing. Ohloh explicitly requires that we include only the trunk, though most of our big 4.0 work, like side panel and accessibility, is currently occurring in branches. So even if Ohloh was getting our current trunk code, it would be missing our actual work. It will be more interesting when we actually merge the code into the trunk. -Rob Best, Roberto -Rob Thanks, Andrea. -- This e- mail message is intended only for the named recipient(s) above.

It would be interesting to see our community to engage by providing in-depth reviews as well as ratings, as well as add more info about upcoming events and if we want also about partners (support, training). A question: Are the ratings correct? They don't seem consistent. For example compare the overall rating (number of stars) with the actual reviews posted. We have a page for services here: http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultants.html And a wishlist item from me: If we could get RSS or Atom feeds for new templates and for new extensions, then we can use this information, for example, to automatically send Tweets from @ApacheOO, or (eventually) feature them in an area of the homepage. -Rob Roberto -- This e- mail message is intended only for the named recipient(s) above.

There was paranoia, certainly, but I have not seen any credible argument against using screenshots from Windows or Mac. We might want, from an open source promotion perspective, to use open source platforms for creating our screen shots. But at the same time, an article for a Windows-focused tech journal would want the screenshot to reflect what their audience is familiar with. In any case, I have not seen a single instance of anyone get into trouble from using Windows screenshots. -Rob Don - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
[CODE][PROPOSAL]: replace cppunit with GoogleTest
Hi, as part of our ip cleanup we remove the cppunit sources and allow the system cppunit only. This is sup-optimal and a limitation from my point of view. I looked for an alternative and found GoogleTest [1] which seems to be a possible alternative. I don't have time to investigate deeper in this at the moment but maybe there is a new volunteer who is interested to investigate some time here. I think it's a perfect task to get started and play around with some basic modules like cppu etc. Juergen [1] http://code.google.com/p/googletest/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

We had however a pure C++ environment (apart from some php and js) so that may be a difference to AOO. I can really recommend it, and it a good oportunity for a new volunteer.

Spell check question from thread.
Hi, I was trying to follow the advice of the comments about spell check but I'm really confused now. I was hoping you might know how to fix my grandfather's spellcheck. He uses word in windows. When the spell check replaces a misspelled word, it's does so in all caps. I tried selecting a different option under the formatting but nothing stops a misspelled word in the middle of a sentence from being replaced in ALL CAPS. I'd appreciate any help so much. Thanks!

Re: FormatArea Draw
Hi Ivan, On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 09:49:51PM -0600, jorge ivan poot diaz wrote: Hello, I'm seeing the files in the source code in draw, examples: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/sd/uiconfig/sdraw/toolbar/drawingobjectbar.xml I want to know where the source code files are declared Icons Standard Toolbar and Formatting. Do you want to know which of these xml files belongs to the Standard toolbar, which to the Text Formatting toolbar, etc.? Or where is the code that converts these xml into toolbars? I want to know how I can add another icon in the toolbar. If you look at the file, you notice that the concept of an icon does not exist there; all you have is what is called a UNO command, for example .uno:FormatLine The UNO command is the central point; from the UNO command the application framework retrieves the label/text of the toolbar item, and the icon bound to it. The command to label binding is done in the XxxCommands.xcu that you already know, with the Label/ContextLabel proeprty; if the Property property has a value of 1, it indicates that the command is bound to an icon. Icons bound to UNO commands are located at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/default_images/res/commandimagelist/ the naming scheme is the following: * prefix: sc_ 16x16 image sch_16x16 high-contrast image lc_ 26x26 image lch_26x26 h-c image * the UNO command without the protocol part (.uno:), in lowercase. For examle, for .uno:FormatLine: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/default_images/res/commandimagelist/sc_formatline.png https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/default_images/res/commandimagelist/sch_formatline.png https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/default_images/res/commandimagelist/lc_formatline.png https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/default_images/res/commandimagelist/lch_formatline.png In short, you don't add an icon to the toolbar; you add a UNO command. If this UNO command is new (it does not exist in the current source code), you'll have to implement the functionality that executes the command (you click the toolbar item, the UNO command is dispatched, that is, the functionality bound to it is executed), and also gives information about the status of the functionality this command represents (toolbar items are context sensitive, they are enabled or disabled, etc., depending on the state of the feature they represent). Similarly, I've noticed that there are several xml files at this address: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/sd/uiconfig/sdraw/toolbar/ Yes, because there are several toolbars in Draw. What are the interface need to draw the toolbar? There is a lot of code involved in transforming this xml file into a toolbar, spread in several modules. The central part is the application framework, drawing the toolbar onto the screen happens in vcl. If you want to dive into this, the best -IMO - is setting a break point in the framework code: framework::ToolbarLayoutManager::implts_createElement Note that it's better to start the application from withing the debugger, because UI elements are cached, you won't see it's creation from zero (reading that xml file) if you attach to an already opened document. If you want to see the creation of the other UI elements (menubar, statusbar), break in framework::LayoutManager::createElement Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina pgpNWLpUnqvrC.pgp Description: PGP signature
