It is not permanently down, but indeed I edited the page to say it's currently 
offline. You can find a whole thread about it on this list, that moved to 
private conversations. So far, we haven't been able to get it transferred to 
Apache (which would be a good option) but it is still possible that it happens

Two-minute(!)-survey on motivation and free time contribution of open source developers

2014-08-31 Thread Stefan Kullack
Dear all,

for a university research project in an Open Source class at the Technical
University Berlin (Germany) I would like to gather some original input from
open source software developers. I kept the length of the survey to an
absolute minimum!!! The survey is supposed to capture the free time
contribution and the primary motivation of open source software developers.

It would be fantastic if you could spend two minutes on three simple
questions!

Here is the link to the survey: https://de.surveymonkey.com/s/MFKXYLP

I highly appreciate the (short) time you take for filling it out!

Best regards,

Stefan Kullack

There are some Java related tasks that can contribute to the AOO
ecosystems like the extensions for Eclipse/NetBeans to work on Java
Extensions.
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice_Eclipse_Integration

There might be even a chance to extend the extention to get other
languages like Python, Basic, etc.

Here's one way to get statisticts on downloads:

1. Visit SourceForge's API:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.1.1/binaries/sr/stats/timeline
2. change the dates in the input field (top-right)
3. copy  paste into OpenOffice Spreadsheet.
4. repeat steps 1–3 for every version released since 2012-05-07.
5. sum up the counts :)

More accurately, the owner is generally non-responsive (he is really 
busy and does not have much time for a hobby forum).


The forum is currently hosted on machines that prevent him from granting 
admin rights to the forum proper and I assume that he does not have 
things properly virtualized to allow sufficient access to update the 
forum proper (and no time to make this happen).


The problem with fighting the spam is that the moderators and admins 
are fighting spammers that can compromise the old forum software at will 
so with a volume of spam bots posting at will, it is a losing battle.


The owner told me on the phone that he was willing to do something about 
this (like allow a transfer, or help, or something), but I understand 
that he was not responsive when he was contacted again. When I last 
called him just to see if he was alive (really, I thought he might have 
died), he was surprised that the site had not been functional in about a 
month and said that he had not seen my email to him. For all I know, it 
was auto-filtered to spam.


I was just looking at the site, and, the first spammer listed had over 
500 spams posted. The only way I have to remove spam is one thread at a 
time. So, I would need to spend at least an hours (if I were able to 
remove 1 thread every 6 seconds manually). That is a single spammer / 
user. It would be more doable if I were able to simply remove every 
message from a specific user, but I don't have that ability.

Re: Installing AOO on Ubuntu/Mint/Debian

2014-08-31 Thread Greg Madden
It is sometimes useful to have both, they are different enough to be
desirable. It seems to be a Linux distro issue, I am a Linux user.
Libreoffice v4.3 uses 'libreoffice4.3 as it executable instead of
'soffice', Apache is now the only user of 'soffice'
 Until Linux distros catch up ?, installing packages from Openoffice.org

This might sound a bit out there, but a greasemonkey script can be done to
program the check out and delete of all the post related to the handful of
nicks.
That way it could automated and ran all night.
Another extension is iMacros

Which I guess is near your field Mr Macros guy ;)

 Although I am able to remove the account, all that does is convert the
 posts to have a guest user. I wish it did remove the posts as well.

 Can't you just remove the spamer account with all his posts?

 More accurately, the owner is generally non-responsive (he is really
 busy and does not have much time for a hobby forum).

 The forum is currently hosted on machines that prevent him from granting
 admin rights to the forum proper and I assume that he does not have
 things properly virtualized to allow sufficient access to update the
 forum proper (and no time to make this happen).

 The problem with fighting the spam is that the moderators and admins
 are fighting spammers that can compromise the old forum software at will
 so with a volume of spam bots posting at will, it is a losing battle.

 The owner told me on the phone that he was willing to do something about
 this (like allow a transfer, or help, or something), but I understand
 that he was not responsive when he was contacted again. When I last
 called him just to see if he was alive (really, I thought he might have
 died), he was surprised that the site had not been functional in about a
 month and said that he had not seen my email to him. For all I know, it
 was auto-filtered to spam.

 I was just looking at the site, and, the first spammer listed had over
 500 spams posted. The only way I have to remove spam is one thread at a
 time. So, I would need to spend at least an hours (if I were able to
 remove 1 thread every 6 seconds manually). That is a single spammer /
 user. It would be more doable if I were able to simply remove every
 message from a specific user, but I don't have that ability.

 So you got feedback from them, and they denied?

 I mean this forum could need some help, the download widget on the
 cover still point to 2.4.0 and many links are abandoned projects like
 OOoMath and such.

 I can volunteer to admin the forum and police it for spam.

 As I recollect the flood of spam was such that it defeated several
 experienced moderators working together. It may be impossible for one
 moderator to handle on his own.

 I know you both know, but for the benefit of the casual reader, we are
 not talking about the official forum, but about a third-party forum
 which is not under control of the project. We started some talks to
 tell
 the maintainers that we may help if needed, but we haven't come to a
 conclusion yet. So the project does not have access to that forum and
 can't promote users to moderators.

 Regards,
  Andrea.
