Please, provide your complete 'configure' call.

Suggestion: Mailing list warning needed?

[Rory O'Farrell]

On the Wiki page which gives links to the mailing lists, I think there ought be 
a prominent warning that certain lists are high traffic lists (many messages 
per day) and that people should consider seriously whether they can cope with 
this.

Perhaps the subscription process should require an extra confirmation step to 
prevent inadvertent or malicious subscription?

[RELEASE]: RC2 in preparation based on branch AOO401, rev. 1523756

[Jürgen Schmidt]

Hi,

we are currently preparing a new RC2 that will fix the installer problem
for Russian and Serbian. No new fixes are integrated and we concentrated
on the installer fix and the integration of 2 further languages, Swedish
and Basque.

My plan is to start the vote when all bits are uploaded and available
and let run the vote a little bit longer until next week (Wednesday
25th). This will give us enough time to take a careful look on the RC2
and to verify the issues.

Please check the translation updates and set the related issues on verified.

An overview about the fixes can be found under [1]. And the RC can be
found as usual under [2]. If the download is not yet available or
incomplete please try later, the upload is still ongoing and takes some
time.

Can we do this email thing (whatever it is called)?

[Rob Weir]

When I purchase a commercial software package I register and then I am
sometimes offered a weekly "tips" email.  It covers tips on how to use
the product, how to get support, FAQs, etc.  It is very useful for new
users.

But this is not a typical announcement list thing.  Users don't all
get the same email each week.   But everyone who is new gets the week
0 email, and a week later they would get the week 2 email, while
someone else in that same week who is new gets the week 0 email, etc.

Is this clear?  It is sort of a system where the user gets a
programmed set of emails on a schedule.

Does anyone know what this is called?  And are there open source
products or free services that support this?

I think this could be very useful for new OpenOffice users.  Currently
we give them a huge torrent of information on the download page, and
in release notes.  I doubt more than 5% of the information gets
absorbed because it it is too much.  But if we could do it via weekly
"tip" emails, then it we'd probably get more information across.

Another approach would be via a feed that is loaded by AOO itself at
first load.  Many products have something like that, a tips dialog
that gives a new tip every time the product starts, or once a week or
something.

I would recommend against having the product dependent on making an
internet connection on startup.  That might interfere with people who work
offline or have iffy connections.

But a lot of products have a pop-up on startup with tips, which I assume
are packaged with the product.  That can be made optional, it can cycle
through tips or select from them randomly, it can allow the users to page
through the tips if they want, and you can make the tip file a periodic
mini-update without requiring an entire release.

This wouldn't necessarily preclude an email tip, but the email tips can be
ones that are new to everyone, and might eventually be added to the tip
file. (ooo-tips@ ?)

That makes sense.  For new users we know in advance the kind of info
that would be interesting to them.  We can prepare that in advance,
translate, etc.  And one of the tips could be to sign up for the
announcement mailing list.

Bonus points if we can tell that a user is really new versus an
upgraded user.  For an upgraded user we might skip the general new
user tips and go directly to tips related to new features.

Could even include users sending in their own tips.  We'd just need to
agree on a format, such as maximum length.

we don't have a specific name but we better call that umbrella of features as

The "tip of the day". I think that something like that is less intrusive
than a registration process, specially if there is a "don't show again"
check-box. In fact, I think it is better to avoid any kind of
"registration" process.

Re: AOO Flyer_SME (was : Yet another flyer)

[Drew Jensen]

Actually I'm not, that is the Apache official logo in EPS format - if the
PDF is created with lossless format it does not render so well, if the JPEG
lossy format is used you will see (and do in the last pdf) a marked
difference. However, the lossless pdf printed at 300 DPS shows off the
feather just fine - without the huge stroke (that is what makes it look
black) as displayed in some readers.

Re: University Student Promotional Flyer ( was: Re: Yet another flyer)

[Drew Jensen]

Yes, I've added a few new pieces, all with what is becoming a common theme
of sorts 'Explore Apache OpenOffice' - using a minimal branding (no wave,
no wire frame, no dots [yet ;])

I will put them all to a single wiki page in the next few days and point
folks to that.

For now, I've just grabbed the RC2 build and will give Base
w/(updated)MySQL_connector as good an exercise as I can tonight.

As for the things I've found already, they are all intermittent (though
with some they persist till one fixes the corrupted file) so not really
worth an update to the issue tracker yet, I suppose. Would still like to
know where the darn crash reports are on this Vista system, but I have
screen shots with the information so that should be sufficient.

Re: University Student Promotional Flyer ( was: Re: Yet another flyer)

Sorry - one example of a new piece - this was exported to PDF-A/1 from
Writer, then imported into Draw (with updated extension) then exported
again as SVG..

Back

as an aside - same Apache logo as the others - you should see what I see
now, in this svg file.

Catch you all tomorrow.

Re: Web site translation

[Rob Weir]

What is the procedure now for translating 4.0 release notes?  We
locked that wiki page to prevent accidental changes, right?  If so,
who can initialize new pages for translation?  Pedro wants to start
the Portuguese translation.

Re: [BUG] XSL Stylesheet markup on CSS from Wizard

The fix is indeed minimal, but let's make sure it is properly tested. 
How did you test it?


Did you build OpenOffice with the patch applied and tried the Web Page 
wizard? (This might sound overkill for a patch that simply corrects a 
CSS class name, but it doesn't harm and if you wish I can make this 
check for you, just ask).


Or did you apply the patch (and which one? the first one, the second one 
or both?) to an installed OpenOffice and tried with the Web Page Wizard?

New Volunteer! Bonnie Kim

[Bonnie Kim]

Hello!

My name is Bonnie and I'm a recent graduate from UC Berkeley. I'm new to
Apache OpenOffice, so I wanted to give a little introduction of myself
before we begin.

I studied English as an undergrad, and completed an honors thesis devoted
to sci-fi author Isaac Asimov. My primary interest was in the literary
figure of the robot, and why it continues to grip us today, as a legend if
not as a reality.

I'm interested in OpenOffice because I'm excited to begin my career as a
technical writer, and I wanted to gain some experience before I began as a
professional. Having come from a strong academic background, I still want
to challenge myself by continuing to learn new things, although to be
honest I'm a bit overwhelmed by the sheer variety of technological fields
that are out there.

Anyways, I hope we'll get along very well! And I'll shoot along a couple of
questions here and there if that's alright.

Thanks, everyone!

Bonnie

Re: [BUG] XSL Stylesheet markup on CSS from Wizard

I update the XSLT directly on the binary. Both stylesheets are ascii so you
can verify them here:
$[openoffice_home]/share/config/wizard/web/layouts/layoutX.xsl and
layout.xsl

Welcome Bonnie!

We can always use more technical writers. Right now, there are two primary
areas where your contribution would be valuable: (1) a new set of User
Guides (coordinated through the documentation mailing list, using MediaWiki
as the publishing platform); and (2) the actual OpenOffice internal help
files.

If you're interested in working on User Guides, you could start here:
http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/

and, I would suggest you subscribe to the documentation mailing list -- see
the mailing list page:
http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html

If you want to get into something "more challenging" using the XML files of
the internal Help, please see:

http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/online_help/

and subscribe to this developer list.

In any case, we are here to make your experience successful. Please do not
hesitate to ask any questions. Thanks for volunteering.
