Redirecting the DNS won't pose a big burden on Infra and just requires (lazy) consensus here. Regards, Andrea. 23 hours, not bad for month-long wrestling match with Infra to get something like this set up !!! The patch I made for dns is up and running. you can open survey.openoffice.org. BUT something is not working in the other end, reply comes from hostmonster, with a possibilities to buy cars erc. The DNS stuff had to happen first, and only then I can get it working on my end. and yes I am a direct person, I like to tell people when they do something good and visa versa, but I dont like assuming ill behaivourbut that is just my way, and I am sorry if my direct way offended someonebut look infra got their part done, without wrestling. I'm not assuming bad behavior. I was just stating that I don't have the time to guess whether this is an occasion where we get a fast response or a slow one. The response time from Infra, IMHO, is entirely unpredictable. I have another DNS-related Infra request that are no more complicated and have waited almost a year. It looks like we were fortunate this time. or we have a better connection now :-) think about the other infra things that have happened lately (wiki, new translate, proxy setup), the ones I know off have all had resonable response time I was not trying to shoot at you, I just have another impression of infra...but of course, I am not neutral. Our need to pick a logo design is very predictable and the time line for that must go forward. So I was happy to move forward with this either way. If I can avoid a dependency on Infra that is a good thing, not a bad one. completely correct, but if the price is to have a non openoffice.orgsite, it is at least a high price to pay. Using a non-openoffice.org site is a non-issue. We've gathered user opinions on Google Moderator and Facebook, without problems. Other groups in the ASF have used Google Docs-based surveys. No one has ever raised concerns about using 3rd party services for this. This is not a high price to pay. In any case, my practice remains -- and I'm sure most in Infra would agree with me here -- if you can do something without having a dependency on Apache Infra it is a good thing. Let them focus on things that only they can do. Self-service is a good thing. No problem, everybody is entitled to have their opinion...I just try to help. You wrote earlier I have another DNS-related Infra request that are no more complicated and have waited almost a year I had a look in jira to find the issue, to see if I could solve it, but I cannot find any open issues with you as requestor, and when I search for DNS there are no really old issues. If you give me the jira number I will have a look at it, and maybe ask why it has waited so long. Exactly. There are five unordered principles to dealing with infrastructure. (1) Politeness. (2) Patience. (3) Persistence. (4) Be Willing to Help. The more you help, the more you understand, the more you can help, ... several project committers have done this. (5) Put the request in JIRA. Infra looks there when they have cycles. Regards, Dave rgds Jan I. -Rob @rob: can you please have a look at your end, you need problaly to add it as a vhost. Yes. I am not sure what the survey actually is, some kind of py/perl/js, I can get an idea, I can think about how we can move it to our own site. It is a PHP app, LimeSurvey. Pre-reqs are listed here: http://manual.limesurvey.org/wiki/Installation#1._Make_sure_you_can_use_LimeSurvey_on_your_website thx for the link, I will have a look at it. rgds jan I.

In the core code you should not use standard C++ string classes, but rtl::OUString, OUStringBuffer, etc.; even if you are playing with the code, before diving into the source, you should get familiar with them - in general, with the whole C++ UNO language binding: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/ProUNO/C%2B%2B/C%2B%2B_Language_Binding http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/cpp/ref/ http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/cpp/ref/names/rtl/c-OUString.html http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/cpp/ref/names/rtl/c-OString.html http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/cpp/ref/names/rtl/c-OUStringBuffer.html http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/cpp/ref/names/rtl/c-OStringBuffer.html Set-up the SDK and play with the string sample in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/main/odk/examples/DevelopersGuide/ProfUNO/CppBinding/ Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina pgp7xHVm9bqaC.pgp Description: PGP signature

They are not really repeated: you have all questions in two variants, something like: What was the main reason for you to join the project? What is the main reason for you to stay in the project? That said, I've answered literally dozens of surveys about motivations for people to join open source project (generally for students' projects) over the years, and I've never, really never, got back a copy of the final work... So I cannot tell whether this is something useful or purely an academic exercise. My guess is there is one or more popular university classes that require students to do this kind of survey. -Rob Regards, Andrea. --**--**- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscribe@openoffice.**apache.orgdev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
