RE: AOO Security Check on Browser-Launched Documents

My bad.  I thought PNG attachments would go through.  I created a Bugzilla on 
this simply to share the behavior and the message that results:

Seeing the message, below, I went directly to 
 from the e-mail note in 
my e-mail reader (Outlook desktop).

When I indicated that I wanted to open the file directly, I was warned about 
the absence of any digital signature on the AOO 4.1.1 executable.  This is in 
Windows 8.1 Pro x64 using Internet Explorer 11.  

If I download the file instead, I can launch it without trouble, so this is not 
a major issue.  It does give one pause.  It seems to be a weird case.

CCing the dev@community list again to say that Nick Burch provided a 
nicer (and smaller) template at

(Nick, thank you and you can upload it to

Thanks for the info, Nancy! And so nice to hear that OpenOffice is
getting some air play. :)

AOO Mention by Clark Howard

[Nancy K]

I wanted to bring to your attention that Clark Howard mentioned OpenOffice as 
an alternative to Microsoft in an article last friday posted on his website 
(link below). Clark Howard hosts a nationally syndicated radio show advocating 
ways for consumers to save money and stick to budgets. A search on his website 
shows he has mentioned and favored OpenOffice in many other articles from the 
past several years adding GoogleDocs when cloud computing began.

Just received an e-mail pointing to the ApacheCon EU template at
,
 which is a
breathtaking 18 (eighteen) MB file! My AOO crashes constantly on that 
presentation "template" on my
old Windows XP machine due to the size.

Obviously, someone who has no clues what s/he does used incredible sizes for 
some of the
(background) pictures creating such an abmysal presntation.

This is what one could do to resolve the issue:

  * unzip "ApacheEU_PPT_v2_ac.odp", switch into the "Pictures" subdirectory and 
load the two huge
png-files that stand-out in that directory and resize them e.g. to 1024x768 
pixel (fine result,
1/10th of the size, size could be reduced even further).
  * zip all the files and subdirectory to a new "ApacheEU_PPT_v2_ac_sane.odp" 
file.

In my case I could reduce the size to two MB and AOO is happily processing it.

Though the design is extremely dark, so I wonder whether it would be o.k. to 
use one owns
template/design (carrying the AOO logo and the Apache feather)?

Is anyone able to participate?

The part of adding the language is trivial and you can do it via the web
interface. If we have the language in our source already it requires
more work to merge the existing sdf to the latest templates and update
the Pootle stores. For this work admin access on the VM is necessary.

Let me see if I can integrate as much as possible similar to the genLang
project where Jan imported all. But I would like to update the templates
first because it seems there were some more changes after my last update.
