With my TAC-PMC hat on, I can confirm that we do not have budget for non-essential apache events. The application procedure is only complex if you make it so, we ask you to fill in a form of 15 questions (like what do you want funding for) see tac-apply.apache.org, this is done for all events we fund. rgds jan I. > > Regards, > Andrea. > > > - > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >

Re: About debugging tokenizer of writerfilter
Hi Peter and Regina, I realized that I might have skipped important steps. Later on I built with debug=t and install the so file, it printed another error message. And I guess that pre-installed libreoffice in my ubuntu 12.04 might affect the result. I'm now rebuilding my environment. I tried wiki, and I wonder if it is possible to get detail instructions here.

With more information, maybe someone will show up. I would not re-propose the build system, for a couple of reasons: a) We have proven the a visual studio build system is possible, but the community expressed doubt that a third build system is a good idea. b) Even though quite a lot about the build system, its hard to mentor student, without having active cooperation from other developers c) It was basically not too complex, but it was a very hard job to split it into pieces understandable by the students. I have about 15 converted modules, and a script that can generate VC++ solutions. I have opted (until now) not to commit it, because its too scattered for somebody else to build on. The students are in their final year, and use this as a preparation to get out in real life. The commitment and knowledge level of the students were very different. The distance (portland USA - spain), did not offer a big problem. The initial efford was very high, I was so lucky to have a lot of help from Steve H. (even though he is not at all involved in our project but in XALAN-C). I think the two of us together used 2 days a week the first couple of weeks to make VMs, build plan and help the students define the project. After the initial round, I used a couple of hours every week (replying to email and having a google hangout). A new project that builds on the one completed, would require a lot less startup efford, and if someone volunteers then I will be happy to help. Bear in mind any volunteer for that kind of project need to know how to change our build system, not only use it.

That's fairly interesting. Can you provide more information on that, perhaps in an issue report?

It is, if you also file an issue and just do the usual of reminding everyone :-) But also, your experiences can add usefully to any content in that wiki.

Re: About debugging tokenizer of writerfilter
Hi Louis, After I enable debug by 'build debug=t', I glimpsed the traceback message with 'libre...'. (not very sure) Then I reinstall my VM and delete all libreoffice. Here is what I do and the resulting message. Well, I guess it's nothing to do with libreoffice ;-( mh@ubuntu:~/aoo/main/writerfilter/unxlngx6.pro/lib$ cp libwriterfilter.uno.so /opt/openoffice4/program/ mh@ubuntu:~/aoo/main/writerfilter/unxlngx6.pro/lib$ cp libdoctok.so libooxml.so libresourcemodel.so /opt/openoffice4/program/ mh@ubuntu:~/aoo/main/writerfilter/unxlngx6.pro/lib$ cd - /opt/openoffice4/program mh@ubuntu:/opt/openoffice4/program$ ./uno -l libwriterfilter.uno.so -c debugservices.doctok.ScannerTestService -- file:///home/mh/num.doc Loading service: debugservices.doctok.ScannerTestService: 0x7fb356994f70 can't initialize UCB mh@ubuntu:/opt/openoffice4/program$ 2014-08-10 23:06 GMT+08:00 Louis Suárez-Potts : > > > On 2014-08-10, at 09:54, Hung Mark wrote: > > > > Hi Peter and Regina, > > > > I realized that I might have skipped important steps. > > Later on I built with debug=t and install the so file, it printed another > > error message. > > And I guess that pre-installed libreoffice in my ubuntu 12.04 might > affect > > the result. > > That's fairly interesting.

We have completed to verify all function defects! We still need defect verification volunteers, to verify language bugs and API/code level bugs 2. Test execution volunteers on Mac & Redhat Linux 64bitMac have caught up this week 3. No critical and potential showstopper have been reported, every thing is good so far *Volunteer status: * 1.
