OpenOffice community survey - Please take it!

2014-09-12 Thread Andrea Pescetti
I've prepared, with help from other community members, a survey to 
gather some quick data about the Apache OpenOffice community. This 
information will be used for my Apache Conference talk in November, to 
assess how we have matured in these two years as a top-level Apache 
project and whether we can consider the setup phase to be closed.


It's one easy, simple page:

http://survey.openoffice.org/index.php/314592/lang-en

Please take the survey now, your feedback is needed! Please answer also 
if you are just reading this list but you are not active, and please 
answer only once even if you receive multiple copies of this message 
(via different mailing lists).


If you have any comments, follow-up to the dev list only.

Thanks,
  Andrea.

Apache OpenOffice at T-Dose 2014

2014-09-12 Thread RA Stehmann
Hello,

like in the last year Apache OpenOffice will take part at T-Dose 2014 in
Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

http://www.t-dose.org/2014/projects

T-DOSE is a free and yearly event held in The Netherlands to promote use
and development of Open Source Software. During this event Open Source
projects, developers and visitors can exchange ideas and knowledge. This
years event will be held on 25 and 26 October 2014 at the Fontys
University of Applied Science in Eindhoven.

http://www.t-dose.org/location

It would be nice to have dutch speaking persons for our booth and to say
Hello to a lot of friends of Apache OpenOffice during the event.

Regards
Michael

I think
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/images/*
and
http://www.openoffice.org/images/*
will be merged.

I suggest 2014-eu-234x60.png also copy to this directory or it should be 
linked from there.


This bypass the predefined adblock filter.

The Publish operation of the website makes the copy, indeed.

I'll get in touch with the QA team right away. Thanks for all your help.
I've uploaded the patches and set the appropriate flags for review
request,  as indicated by Regina Henschel :)
If there are any more such issues, I'd be glad to work on them,to
familiarize myself with the whole process. Meanwhile,  I'll scout for
issues on bugzilla.


I think you can start a larger project. Here is my proposal: Implement a 
regular polygon. The request [1] is very old. In the meantime we have 
got ODF1.2 specification [2] which defines the element 
draw:regular-polygon. The shape belongs to the primitive shapes, same 
as draw:rect or draw:circle or draw:ellipse. To see such shape, 
you can use the application Karbon from the Calligra suite and therein 
the shape Star. Calligra should be available from your Linux distributor.


Apache OpenOffice has not yet implemented this kind of shape. Are you 
interested in this task? If yes, we can speak about details.


Kind regards
Regina

Re: Wiki:Step-By-Step Guide for Building on Windows not working

Hi Martin,

Hi Oliver, hello Dev Team,

first, sorry I forgot to subscribe, I catched up with that now.


no problem.
I also forgot to look in advance, if the posting was moderated.


I also made some experiments and found the error. I'm going to
change/describe the steps at the wiki page within the next 2 days.

The mistake was to use a Windows subversion programm (from apache
itself) svn, version 1.8.10 (r1615264) to get the sources.
Apparently the line breaks got broken because after using dos2unix
program from cygwin on some packages they could be compiled. I now
used the package subversion from cygwin directly and downloaded the
sources again. It compiles at least to gtest with the identical
configure/build settings as last time.



Yes, Windows subversion programs often change the line endings on check-out.

Thus, please use the cygwin subversion under Windows to work with the 
AOO subversion repository.

Would be really great, if you could update the wiki accordingly.

What are your problems in module gtest?

Best regards, Oliver.

Reporting a problem with the OpenOffice website

2014-09-12 Thread Steve Johnson
Hi

I downloaded openoffice a few years ago and only use it occasionally.  Each 
time I use it I am prompted to register it. But when I try, it says it needs to 
be done in a JRE environment.  I have not a clue what that means. Would you 
please explain that for me?

Thanks 
Steve

Hi Steve,
   The registration process is no longer active, so you can just ignore
that. A JRE is a Java Runtime Environment, which is available from
Java.com. It is needed to run a few of the features of OpenOffice. However,
if you haven't run into any other problems, you don't seem to need it. Your
older version of OpenOffice requires and old version of the JRE and I don't
recommend going through the trouble without a reason.
You should consider  getting a more recent version of OpenOffice from
www.openoffice.org. That download process will redirect you to SourceForge
and the download will start automatically. There is no need to click on
anything at SourceForge.
Best regards,
Francis

 I don't want to further delay all of your work, just wanted to play with this 
and show you. Look what happens if you add the divider above the event box - 
and push the text over to align with the text below. I just need to get it in 
line with the smaller birds of the right column. I couldn't get the divider 
birds to run across the width at the smaller scale - but it sure adds some 
possibilities.
