Re: Root README file in SVN
I would label it DISCLAIMER to make it pristine clear. Something in the lines of: Development branches represent Work in Progress for internal use only. This code may be present in a future release but no claim is made concerning their content including licensing status or code quality. Use at your own risk. You may want to check with legal if we should include something else. Pedro.

Root README file in SVN
I've checked in a README file to the root of our SVN tree: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/README This should be useful to help orient someone who is browsing our tree. I could use your help identifying the purpose of the branches. I described the ones I know about, but there are several there that I am not familiar with. Thanks! -Rob

Re: FOSDEM booked / Material list for the stand
On 10/01/2013 Andrea Pescetti wrote: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/FOSDEM+2013+Organization Here is a proposal that I'm submitting for lazy consensus. If anybody else wishes to take over I'll definitely be happy, but we need to get it started now if we wish to be ready in time for FOSDEM. We will need actions on three levels: - Determine what to get and especially the related costs and deadlines (and of course, availability to take care of placing the orders at due time) At least, we will need a simple banner (an X-banner or a roll-up banner) and a few hundreds (500-1000) of the English flyers prepared by Drew. I can take care of ordering and delivering to FOSDEM. But then the materials should be given to someone who regularly attends events and travels by car, like Mechtilde and Michael. - Allocating funds (I expect this to be easy, through easy consensus on this list; we have funds that are in principle available for conferences) A budget of 150 EUR will cover the expenses. It is quite likely that we will spend less (for example, I received an offer for banner+500 flyers at 100 EUR, even though I haven't been able to check some details yet), but since printing 1000 flyers costs only 15 EUR more than printing 500, I would keep some margin to be able to pick the most convenient option. - Preparing a design for the materials we need I would be able to prepare a quick banner design (orb+logo). But I'm putting Michael Acevedo in CC since we still need to have a real vector version (in any format: SVG, AI, EPS...) of the OpenOffice logo. By the way, the banner size I'm investigating is 60x160 cm if anyone wants to prepare the design. Regards, Andrea.

OK. I've uploaded template pages for MacOS and Linux: http://www.openoffice.org/product/mac.html http://www.openoffice.org/product/linux.html I really need help on filling in the details there. I don't think I've touched a Mac since 1989. And even then I was confused looking for the "on" button ;-) At the moment my time is a bit limited for read/write the ML. As it seems we have a consesus I can help much more on the coming weekend. So, it depends on how patient you (we all?) are. ;-) No rush, I won't add the links to the leftnav until we have the content pages ready. I've taken some information from the system requirements and updated a bit the 3 pages: http://www.openoffice.org/product/windows.html http://www.openoffice.org/product/mac.html http://www.openoffice.org/product/linux.html @Ariel: As you are building the Linux packages, maybe you can add some technical data and fill the Linux gaps?

Indeed this could also be the way to catch users who look for "OpenOffice Portable", for example, and should know that we do have a (third-party, from winPenPack) version available; they are now offered an ancient version since OpenOffice Portable has not been updated yet.

But what about Hungarian? We want to avoid an infinite loop caused by the keeping the version number the same, e.g., AOO 3.4.1 HU user gets upgrade notification, updates, and then still gets another update notification.

The problem with /usr/bin/soffice is not been solved by this change. Other problems like LO obsoleting OOo packages will go away with the name change because it implies a package name change (something we should also do is remove the version from the package name, this is causing the bug currently that version 3.4 didn't remove previous versions when installed).

One is what the developers decide to put their time to and the other is what the community as a whole thinks is important rather than individual preferences. My view is that it is best to drive development in the light of what most people will need in a few years time because it will take a few years to get there.
