Layout question relating to screen size/open office writer

[Whoojeedoo Monster]

I used to have a smaller screen, and when I did the OpenOffice writer program 
would display the pages as centered in the middle of the grey space with the 
next page directly beneath the previous, sort of lined up in a collumn.  Now 
that I have a larger screen it displays like this instead - not using the 
centre exactly, either a blank space at the side or two pages side by side.  Is 
it possible to return the layout back to the previous one without changing 
screen sizes?
  

New OpenOffice Chair ratification

[Andrea Pescetti]

This is hardly news, but since it has not yet been explicitly reported 
here... the ASF Board ratified Dennis' election as new OpenOffice Chair 
during their September meeting, held on 16 September. This was totally 
expected, but it explains some discrepancies that we could have in 
future between our memory (and this list's archives) and the ASF records.


While Dennis had already been acting as Chair for a few weeks for 
obvious practical reasons, he now has all the needed privileges, he's 
listed at http://www.apache.org/foundation/ and, to the purpose of the 
official ASF records, he has been serving in the role since 16 September 
2015.


Regards,
  Andrea.

[DISCUSS] Fwd: Re: FOSDEM 2016 - Call for Participation

[Kay Schenk]

[replies to: dev@openoffice.apache.org]

Hello all --

OpenOffice has been participating in FOSDEM for quite some
time. For the upcoming FOSDEM in 2016, the ASF will also be
participating. Because of the new ASF "stand" participation,
it has been suggested to request a set of tables -- one to
accommodate the ASF as a single entity, and additional
tables as needed for individual project participation.

The discussion thread on this has stared on
d...@community.apache.org if you want to take a look at that
list. Also, please see the wiki reference below for
additional details on what has been suggested.

Of course, as in the past, we will lend whatever support we
can to volunteers at FOSDEM. Please express your interest so
this can be coordinated with the ASF plans for FOSDEM.

Thanks.

Indeedy, I was notified by FOSDEM staff about this, and will
note that
the ASF has formally requested a stand at FOSDEM 2016.

Time will tell what sort of stand we'll get (how big etc),
but we should
plan ahead and _assume_ we'll get two tables (might get one,
might get
three, but let's assume two).

This will require 3-4 volunteers at most times (not to speak
of endless
amounts of swag to give away), so I would imagine we'd need
at least
double that in available people, so as to do it in shifts.

Depending on the number of projects that are interested in a
presence at
FOSDEM, we'll likely do a rotation, so that each project get
N hours of
fame at the stand. FOSDEM has notified us that they are
really limited
on space this time around, due to the huge interest in this
from FOSS
communities, so if we can help them by rotating a bit, that
would work
out for everyone. Having been to previous FOSDEMs, I can
also say with
some certainty, that you won't risk getting the "boring time
slot", as
the stands are pretty much always crowded.

With regards,
Daniel.

Participation at FOSDEM happens in different ways. As for the 
tables/stands/booths, the understanding in

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/FOSDEM+2016
is that OpenOffice will still have to ask for a booth independently, as 
we (specifically, Michael and Mechtilde) have always done.


If then BOTH the OpenOffice table and the generic ASF table are 
accepted, then it surely makes sense to ask to be placed next to each 
other and to share space in the most effective way. But at the moment 
nothing changes with respect to the usual process.


Deadline for applying is:
-  9 October (very close) for a devroom (track)
- 13 November for stands

Regards,
  Andrea.

Re: Layout question relating to screen size/open office writer

[Howard Morris (aka Col Boogie)]

I’m not sure what this discussion is about. It seems to concern the layout of a 
wide screen.
You may try using what I have done in 
http://howard-cary-morris.host-ed.me/html_doc2.html
It is set up to switch to two columns for a wide screen.
The first pages on the left, the last pages on the right (not sure I like that, 
this is an early cut).

You can look at all the code and copy it if you wish.

Is it in JIRA somewhere? As far as I know, Infra strongly prefers that

I used their newer friendly "request" interface and it
turned into a JIRA ticket. I don't know if you can directly
get to the old interface any more so tracking by project
might be limited.

I can't find your new account. It should display at

Hi Andrea,

it would be nice, if you will merge it. I have not committed to branches 
and fell uneasy.


Kind regards
