Re: Fwd: June 25th CFP Deadline for ApacheCon and CloudStack Collab Conference EU - Submit Now
On 17/06/2014 jan i wrote: Now we are getting close to deadline for ApacheCon Budapest. Please submit talks I fully second Jan's request, and I'm adding the QA list. The conference was mainly discussed on the dev list so far, so here's some basic information: - Deadline is June 25 as stated in the subject; ApacheCon is November 17-21 in Budapest - ApacheCon site: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-europe/ - Click on Submit talk to submit a talk; you will create an account in the process Don't worry about having something compelling or new to say. Many of you can submit a talk, based on their experience in the OpenOffice community. If you are involved with the project, at any level, you surely had to learn something (using Pootle, using the CMS, using QA tools, learning how to give effective support): all these topics are OK for submission. See the conference as a community gathering, where you speak to other community members in a friendly, informal, environment. Remember that giving a talk gives you free entrance to the event. And one more reason to submit talks is that we need to know how much OpenOffice-related content is available in order to see in what form OpenOffice is present at the conference (dedicated day, dedicated track...). So, go submit a talk now! Submissions will be handled by volunteers familiar with OpenOffice (you can volunteer yourself if you wish; see http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/community-dev/201406.mbox/%3C53A055AB.9030509%40rcbowen.com%3E ), so you can keep them brief and to the point.

Is is however no problem, since of course all speakers will be present, and I will too. I see the following (but I surely miss many tasks): - content and more content :-) - Layout for banners (AOO logo, name etc) to be sent to LF. - produce a small folder (A4 folded) about AOO/ASF and how to donate/help - maybe produce AOO stickers (I recommend it). - find a keynote speaker to kick it off (or maybe 2, 1 user and 1 from the project) - organize the talks into a logical sequence - press contact (sally will surely help here) - most importantly, spread the word most of the tasks are simple, but in total its too much for one person to do.

[EXTENSION][DEV]: updated OpenOffice NetBeans API plugin
Hi,
I have updated the OpenOffice NetBeans API plugin to make it working
with NetBeans 8 and AOO 4.1.
A reworked plugin for testing can be found under [1]. The used
preprocessor ucpp has problems with paths containing spaces (Windows
only). This issue is solved already on trunk and will be fixed in the
AOO 4.1.1 SDK as well. In the meantime a patched idlc for Windows (calls
the ucpp) can be found under [2]. Just copy this patched idlc in your SDK.
[1]
http://people.apache.org/~jsc/aoo_plugin/org-openoffice-extensions-4.0.6.nbm
[2] http://people.apache.org/~jsc/aoo_plugin/idlc.exe
A further useful information is that the 'jar' target have changed a bit
and existing projects created with the old plugin need a minimal change
as well to work with NB 8.
in the build-uno-impl.xml build script the jar target (line 162) should
be changed to
target name=jar
depends=-uno-project-init,uno-idl-compile,-jar-idl-types,compile,-pre-jar,-do-jar-jar,-do-openoffice-manifest,-post-jar
jar basedir=${build.classes.dir} compress=true filesonly=true
manifest=${build.dir}/MANIFEST.MF jarfile=${dist.jar}
excludes=**/*.xml,*/*.txt,${idl.file.list},${build.classes.excludes}/
/target
Feedback are welcome

Re: can't install 4.0.1
Hi Nathan, How are you going on with your installation for AOO 4.0.1, is the problem resolved? I notice that you are likely doing upgrade install from 3.x to 4.x, here is the related information about upgrade for Windows, in case you need it. *Upgrading OpenOffice for Windows* If the current version is 3.x, you can remove it before you upgrade to version 4.x, or keep it and install 4.x as an additional version. 1. In the Installation Wizard, do one of the following: - To remove 3.x and install 4.x, select Remove all older product versions. The startup group item, desktop icon, and entry in the Add/Remove Programs list will all refer to 4.x. - To have both 3.x and 4.x on your computer, deselect Remove all older product versions. Each version will have its own startup group item, desktop icon, and entry in the Add/Remove Programs list. 2. If the current version is 4.x, but is older than the point version that you want to install (for example, you have 4.0.0 but want to install 4.0.1), the older version will be removed and the later one will be installed. The startup group item, desktop icon, and entry in the Add/Remove Programs list will all refer to the later version.

[RELEASE][PLANNING]: possible date for AOO 4.1.1
Hi, I am currently thinking about a possible release date for AOO 4.1.1 and believe a date in August would be good. The main question is how long the QA work will take? AOO 4.1.1 will be a bugfix release only with some additional translation update and potentially new languages. A further point is if we make a Beta or not or work with RC candidates only. Again it is a bugfix release only and every official release (and a Beta is official) needs more effort. And when I try to reflect the last Beta I don't think it was very successful. We had 30 downloads and thought we would receive the necessary and good feedback we need to release a good version. AOO 4.1 is good but we have some serious issues that were not detected during normal Qa and not during the Beta phase of active Beta users. Currently we have 26 issues with granted or requested showstopper flag. Most of them are already fixed. I haven't seen any issue so far a translation update. If issues exist already please request the showstopper flag asap. We have no new strings and I know that update work or fixing of translation is already ongoing. We should plan in time with a deadline for translation updates. I think a possible date can be mid of July. We need a fixed date that people can plan accordingly, otherwise we run always in the same situation and changes are coming in late. But that don't scale very well and we should keep deadlines in mind. What does others think about it? Juergen PS: this mail is on dev only because dev is our main mailing list. We have again the situation that people active on QA or l18n don't read dev which is problematic because they potentially miss important news for upcoming releases. But sending info on all lists will result is split discussion that I would like to avoid. I didn't really worked in the past, even not with a reply-to filed.

Clearly, an installation routine dealing with the returned string value of AOO gets confused, if it was written with UTF-16LE in mind, working correctly on earlier OOo.

Thanks to everyone giving feedback, have submitted a talk proposal: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/cfp/proposals/3187/2831 Howto Turn Your Favorite Programming Language into an AOO Macro Language Event ApacheCon Europe 2014 Submission Type Presentation Category Developer Biography Rony Flatscher is a member at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and works as a professor for Information Systems at the WU Vienna. He is the author of BSF4ooRexx a cross-platform package that bridges the programming language ooRexx and Java. It includes support for Apache OpenOffice (AOO) turning ooRexx into a macro language for AOO. Abstract Apache OpenOffice (AOO) defines a scripting framework that can be exploited to add any programming language to Apache OpenOffice as a macro language. This presentation introduces the necessary overview and knowhow to become able to assess the effort to add your own favorite programming language to AOO. Although the AOO scripting framework is implemented in Java it is possible to add non-Java-implemented programming languages as demonstrated with the programming ooRexx which is itself implemented in C++. In addition all scripting languages that support Java's javax.script framework could be added to AOO using AOO's scripting framework. Audience The audience is interested in the Apache OpenOffice (AOO) scripting framework and/or adding programming languages to Apache OpenOffice as macro languages. Experience Level Any Benefits to the Ecosystem AOO may be enhanced by many new programming languages that can be used and dispatched as macro languages.

Re: RFC ad possible presentation submission for ApacheCon EU
Very interesting talk, I remember a while ago a friend wanted to port Groovy to UNO, since it runs on the JVM it was very possible to have an engine.

He is the author of BSF4ooRexx a cross-platform package that bridges the programming language ooRexx and Java. It includes support for Apache OpenOffice (AOO) turning ooRexx into a macro language for AOO. Abstract Apache OpenOffice (AOO) defines a scripting framework that can be exploited to add any programming language to Apache OpenOffice as a macro language. This presentation introduces the necessary overview and knowhow to become able to assess the effort to add your own favorite programming language to AOO. Although the AOO scripting framework is implemented in Java it is possible to add non-Java-implemented programming languages as demonstrated with the programming ooRexx which is itself implemented in C++. In addition all scripting languages that support Java's javax.script framework could be added to AOO using AOO's scripting framework. Audience The audience is interested in the Apache OpenOffice (AOO) scripting framework and/or adding programming languages to Apache OpenOffice as macro languages. Experience Level Any Benefits to the Ecosystem AOO may be enhanced by many new programming languages that can be used and dispatched as macro languages.

This will surely be helpful. I made some changes, but I'm confused about the three translation phases. For sure this part is not reflecting reality, we don't have three translation phases. The process is as follows: - We set a deadline for new translations to reach 100% - We set a deadline for existing translations to be fixed in Pootle - We set a deadline for updating/integrating dictionaries - We currently don't set deadlines for the Release notes, but we could The three deadlines can well be the same. And any action requiring code change must be requested in Bugzilla (so: if fixes are made in the French translation, volunteers will open an issue to integrate the fixes; same for any other actions). A translation never starts: it is always open, and volunteers can ask for import from Pootle when necessary. I don't know how to put this process in the current version of the plan. What did you have in mind with the three translation phases? A full import at the end of each phase? We are not doing that and we won't so long as we use the current technology. The 3 phases came from the reality in the past - at I remeber this way. We made some last minutes changes into the build, even when it was after the deadline. So, IMHO we should count with this. That was the reason for the 3 different entries. Of course this can be changed. It was just a first try to create a plan. I've changed this and now there is only 1 translation phase directly after feature + string freeze. I've also added a sentence that translation phase means strings *and* dictionaries. Does it look better now? Marcus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

This will cause some caching issues (for those who have already used the new download page) but indeed it seems not so bad. caching issues shouldn't be a problem. Just reload the browser window. Furthermore, the website will browsed again and again in case of new download wishes. - Change the file references in the head part of the index.html in the main download webpage, so that the new files will be used. OK, unless you wish to rename the old ones (to download_old.js and such) if this is still easy, since we may want to actually get rid of the old mechanism in favor of the new one. It is more effort the other way around as I would need to change every localized download webpage. Of course this is also a possible way. We just need to agree what we want. - Delete the added Click this temporary link to download text box in every localized index.html file. For my commits, this means reverting http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revisionrevision=1601211 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revisionrevision=1601213 Of course, feel free to revert both when replacing them with a better solution. Now the golden question: :-) Do we want to go on with the temporary way? Or change back to the old One-Click-Download behavior? Could we go back to the old behavior (whatever the file names) but then try and encapsulate all logic differently? OK but ... The most difficult part is that one just wants to localize the page, but still there's a lot of JavaScript around. From a maintenance point of ... this is a totally different topic. ;-) view, I would prefer to have a createDownloadDiv(var strings) function that takes an array of all strings needed to build the localized div and returns the div markup. This would simplify a translator's work, since they would only have to translate a long but understandable function call. If this is unclear I can make an example. And this would also guarantee that we can adjust it more easily. After spending a while looking at approach more in depth, I agree with Andrea here in terms of trying to set this up as simpler js calls somehow. Conceptually, what's there now (in http://www.openoffice.org/download/test/) provides the utmost in flexibility, but it comes at the cost of complexity. And, since we have roughly 35 native language download areas that need attention, I think we need to look to simplicity to expedite the situation. I think the tips strings could match the actual parameter strings, thus eliminating some redundancy there. I'm not sure we need tips for the selection box items of OS etc, so maybe more eliminations here. The same approach as suggested by Andrea could be used for the blue boxes. And, I think the right side of the page -- the additional items should be just be left intact as a block and let volunteers translate/change this as they see fit rather than construct it with javascript. Thoughts? Yes, I thought about this already a few months ago. A first result was this: http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/l10n/index_en.html I've done now an example with the new select boxes. You can look into the HTML code of the main or German download webpage. You will find a file msg_prop_l10n_en.js resp. msg_prop_l10n_de.js with all strings that could be localized. These are assigned in the JS code parts of the HTML file. That means there shouldn't be a need to dive into the HTML+JS code sections to find the things to translate. OK, except for the noscript parts as I don't know a better way for the moment. So, if someone knows a way please tell me. Furthermore, I don't like the idea of a static webpage of this size. It will become bigger with every new released language. I've done the current improvements to avoid this piece of effort. ;-) If we really want to have a webpage to serve all needs of people who disable technologies, we could build other.html with a script that scans the files tree and simply outputs a minimal table. But I don't know if this is worth the effort. The users that wanted to have a different install file than offered by the previous One-Click-Download was surely higher than now with the new select-what-you-want way. Only these users were the target audience for the other.html webpage. To build up a relatively easy way to get what they want. But the noscript users were not the audience. The number of users are not very high. It's simply no fun to browse nowadays through the Internet with disabled JavaScript. Maybe it's even less funny

The main question is how long the QA work will take? I think August is a reasonable target date. I checked the testlink and found Yu Zhen already created AOO 4.1.1 test plan with test cases added. One question: when will we (or did we already?) create a 4.1.1 branch? I'm asking because not only we need to input a build in testlink before we can assign test cases to QA volunteers to start the test execution, but also it can not be formally counted as 4.1.1 testing if performed on trunk build.

Currently we have 26 issues with granted or requested showstopper flag. Most of them are already fixed. From QA perspective, the 4.1.1 testing can early start as soon as the 1st 4.1.1 build available. But we need to define a DCUT milestone, by which date, all the fixes are delivered to AOO 4.1.1 branch and no more patch will be accepted unless identified as blocking or 4.1.1 regression. Then we can run the regression test after the DCUT to cover all impacted areas. - Shenfeng (Simon) I haven't seen any issue so far a translation update.

Hallo Günter, From: Guenter Marxen [mailto:guenter.mar...@gmail.com] ich schätze Dich und Deine Arbeit für OpenOffice, hab' ich doch selbst früher davon profitiert. Aber die Rigorosität, mit der Du vorgehst, finde ich bedenklich und ans Diktatorische grenzend. Das ist leider nicht wahr, denn ich bin es der sich konsequent nach der Meinung der Mehrheit der Community richten will, hingegen ist es Michael der versucht hier Druck zu erzeugen indem er einseitig ankündigt sich an diese Mehrheitsmeinung nur halten zu wollen wenn es ihm gefällt. Zitat: Ich behalte mir allerdings vor, abhängig vom Inhalt der Entscheidung, das Apache OpenOffice-Projekt um meine Entpflichtung als Moderator zu bitten. Was soll denn sonst getan werden als einmal ernsthaft über die Dinge zu reden, wenn die Erfahrung von 2 Jahren zeigt das der Versuchs durch maßvolle Kritik zu einer Besserung zu kommen nichts gebracht hat? Auf Deine andere Mail (Lieber Günter, jetzt mal Klarstext:) gehe ich nicht mehr weiter ein, ggf. können wir das per PM diskutieren. Ich kann Dich auch mal anrufen, vielleicht kann das die Problematik besser klären. Ich habe gegen Beides nichts, aber es gibt ja eigentlich nichts zu besprechen, auch nehme ich Dir weder Deine Kritik noch Deine Meinung übel. Nur eine Anmerkung dazu: In diesem Kontext von ...'moralisch' unvereinbar ... zu schreiben, finde ich recht merkwürdig. Der Grund ist einfach, wir sind hier auf freiwilliges Einhalten von gemeinsamen Absprachen angewiesen, weil wir keine Sanktionsmöglichkeiten haben, und ich finde es höchst unfair wenn Einzelne damit die Community unter Druck zu setzen versuchen, weil sie wissen das sie niemand sanktionieren kann.
