Re: Hello, I have a question . . .

[Peter Kovacs]

Hello Peter,

The latest release is 4.1.7

I am not sure what you tried. Have you tried Mark the section you want 
to copy, then Menue Edit pick Copy. Open Your Email Application and 
insert there as you are used by the email application.


As an Alternative instead going through the menue you can use 
Control-Button and C, pressing both at the same time and press then 
Control V in the email application.


You can ask this kind of question on users. There you get a quicker answer.

All the Best

Peter

Hello, Dev:

I have still another question concerning Open Office version 4.11 ( not quite 
sure of correct version but it's still pretty much the latest )
 I'm trying to copy only a section of a document I wish to send to somebody, but when 
I copy and what I'm trying to duplicate shows up in 'blue' ( i.e. the part I'm trying to 
copy ) I get out of whatever document I'm using, get out of Open Office and get into my 
email program and initiate a message to whomever and hit "attach files" and 
then ( bang! ) the entire thing --- NOT just the section or portion I'm trying to copy 
--- shows up, appears. So how do I copy only a small part? and not the entire thing or

Thank you.

As I wrote you earlier, to request a Pootle account follow the
instructions here:

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Pootle_User_Guide/Registration_and_Login

We had to disable self-service because of to much spam accounts.

These are Test builds for Windows (incl. LanguagePack and SDK), not an
official Beta.

Feel free to download and test it. Unfortunately there is no Romanian
build at the moment.
I might add that next time...

Re: hello I get a problem when i compile AOO417 under ubuntu

[Peter Kovacs]

The true error is:

  bit_mask=~(~0 << bits_per_pixel)

../inc/basebmp/packedpixeliterator.hxx:86:23: error: left operand of
shift expression ‘(-1 << 1)’ is negative [-fpermissive]
../inc/basebmp/packedpixeliterator.hxx:80:10: error: enumerator value
for ‘bit_mask’ is not an integer constant

The root cause is, OpenOffice is written for older gnuCompiler. And we
just slowly move up the Version tree. Wedo not support v11standard.

better build with

-std=gnu++98

that is done by export, I think:

export CFLAGS="-std=gnu++98" export CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

maybe add even the permissve flag:

export CFLAGS="-std=gnu++98 -fpermissive"

export CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Hello, I have a question about rsc compiler & gbuild

[김재석]

Hello, My name is jaeseok kim. 
I knew this e-mail address on fourm.openoffice.org/forum. And I have a few 
question about OpenOffice. 
 
I use openoffice source code in my project. But it is so difficult. So I need 
some helps.
 
I want to convert the '.hrc/.src file' to the '.res file.' I know that using 
rsc compiler. 
I'd like to use compiler rsc separately. To use it, what kind of Make file 
should be made? 
 
When you make the formula module in libreoffice, you know that rsc compiler 
creates a foren file using the resource file. 
 
command is main/formula make -f Makefile. 
 
I would like to convert the "core_resource.src" file to "foren.res" using the 
rsc compiler in other program. 
 
So it's the same thing to try to make the same thing. 
copy to my folder these folders and file 
/main/formula 
/main/rsc 
/main/solenv 
LinuxX86-64Env.Set 
 
and 
/formula gmake -f Makefile 
 
but did not seem to work. 
Ultimately, I want to use the files I want to convert to binary format using 
the rsc compiler tool.
 
Thank you.

Greetings Angelique;

Sorry for not replying sooner, but my time available for AOO has been
small lately. We are always looking for volunteers to help with the
documentation. For an overview of the documentation project I suggest
that you look at our orientation page at
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-doc.html. I would also
suggest subscribing to this mailing list as it is the main communication
vehicle for the overall Apache OpenOffice project. To subscribe send an
e-mail to dev-subscr...@openoffice.apache.org and follow the
instructions in the reply you receive.

Regards
Keith

RE: Hello All

Angelique,

You might want to subscribe to the d...@openoffice.apache.org list where 
documentation is discussed.  (Subscription requests go to 
doc-subscr...@openoffice.apache.org, sending from the email address you want to 
receive list messages at.)

There is also guidance for learning your way around Apache OpenOffice at 
<http://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html>.

Because you are interested in technical writing, it is necessary to have some 
domain knowledge of Apache OpenOffice.  You should have a version of the 
software and be able to fact-check and verify behaviors in material that you 
might want to improve, extend, or add.  The ability to make screen captures is 
important.  You will also need to set up accounts on two wikis that the project 
operates.

The docs@ list is the best place to dig into all of this.

 - Dennis

I advice to read the Andrew Macro (not the whole book) OpenOffice Macro

The way to contribute, test and commit code will be able to get

There is a developer guide which will let you know more about AOO

Machines were being rebooted due to maintenance when you wrote this. The 
wiki is back online now. But the first page you should look at is the 
Building Guide: 
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO


For the same reason we had a brief outage of all machines, including the 
blog as mentioned in another thread.

Hi Regina
I'm still here, right now i have succeded to complete the first 3 hack
tutorials,


You mean those in the Wiki? They are quite old, belonging to 
OpenOffice.org 2.0. It might be, that not all details are still valid. 
Nevertheless, you should then be prepared for the task I mentioned below.


 and i'm trying to navigate the code base.

The code base is huge. As I already have written to Deborah, you get an 
overview of the code in 
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Source_code_directories. It is not 
up-to-date, but in most parts are still valid. The sister project 
LibreOffice has some similar information in http://docs.libreoffice.org/ 
Although they made some changes in the structure most parts are still 
the same as in Apache OpenOffice.



I have tried to debug with gdb, but i can only debug the asm code, not the
symbolic c++ source code, i think in gcc it is -g option.
I would love some ideas to push me in the right direction, this is my first
opensource involvement.


Which OS do you use?

You should try to start with a real contribution. Something very small 
in content, but by which you can learn the whole workflow of checkout  
build  code change  test  generate patch  attach patch to issue  
review.


May I suggest https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=40747
Perhaps name that Formula, which inserts a Math OLE object, with new 
string Formula Math? It belongs to the uno command 
.uno:InsertObjectMath. The UI strings for such commands are defined in 
.xcu files.


Do you already know how to search the code?

Kind regards
Regina

I think, Apache OpenOffice will fit to your interests. You can start
with solving little problems and deepen as your time allows. The Apache
OpenOffice code has a wide area of aspects. We track the issues in
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/. From your background I think, you should
start in Calc or with charts. Please write if you need some suggestions.

Hello, I can help!

[Stefan Cross]

Hello, 

I have been contemplating getting involved in helping in an open source project 
for some time and particularly like the OpenOffice project. I have looked 
through the Help Wanted Page and believe I can assist in a range of capacities. 
I entered the world of software engineering as a Web Design and Developer and 
believe I can certainly help improve the website (point 5 and 6) and would like 
to submit some designs for the landing page. I endure a lot of testing on work 
projects and could assist on testing developer builds also. 

I believe that I can also help with testing developer builds and writing 
documentation. However my real goal would be assisting in 
bug fixing and updating OpenOffice in the future. I have over 7 years 
experience developing in web based languages and markup including HTML, CSS, JS 
and PHP, using them day-in-day out,  and more recently around 3 years of Java, 
building web services and writing selenium integration tests. 

I am also currently engaged in a part time masters course that is opening my 
eyes to the paradigms of Haskell and Erlang. Although I have very little 
experience with C++ I am well versed in OOP and would like to eventually gain 
enough familiarity with the codebase that I can contribute and assist. But for 
now I am happy to assist in a bit of visual design for the website and testing 
whilst to get up to speed.

Please let me know if this is of interest or you would like any more details or 
a CV from me. 

Kind regards,

Hello Stefan and thank you for wanting to get involved. The easiest way to
submit proposals for either of our websites would be to apply for an
account on our planning wiki--

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Wiki+Home

Just use the Sign Up link.

A good place to add information like this would probably be under the
Site-Dev-Plan page --

  https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Site-Dev-Plan

You can include attachments using the wiki as well.

There are a lot of areas and opportunities for involvement with this
project. Welcome.

Hello Shari,

Thank for writing and volunteering to help.   You can read more about
different areas of the project here:

http://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html

As you will see, it takes a lot more than just programmers to make
Apache OpenOffice successful.  Volunteers are welcome in any of these
areas.

We're currently in the testing phase for our 4.1 release.  If that
interests you at all, we certainly need help there.  You can write to
our QA mailing list at q...@openoffice.apache.org to get started there.

We also have new volunteer orientation modules on the website that
give more background on the project and how it works.  It also
describes to get involved in areas like documentation, marketing,
etc.:

Hello Eren,

Thanks for contact us.  It sounds like you have a good mix of skills!

We have a set of pages on our website for new volunteers to review.
You can find them here:

http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/

If you've worked with an open source project before much of this will
be review.  But if you are new to open source communities the
introductory pages have some useful background in how we are organized
and how we do things.

There are also specific pages on getting started with areas like
development, including instructions for how to get started building
Apache OpenOffice.  This is the first step (hurdle?) for new
developers.  If you get stuck don't be shy, send questions to the dev
mailing list.

The OpenOffice product itself does not contain a lot of artwork.  We
have a logo, recently updated, that is incorporated into the Splash
screen and About box , for example.  But our marketing project does
more work with graphics, designing artwork for the website, social
media, brochures to hand out at conferences, etc.  If you are
interested in those areas you should sign up for our marketing mailing
list, market...@openoffice.apache.org, and introduce yourself there.

Hi Daniel,

welcome to OpenOffice and your interest in testing and automated tests
is perfect. We still have on our wish list the integration of new unit
test framework because cppunit is license incompatible.

I personally believe that the googletest framework [1] can be a good
choice and I am asking if you are potentially interested to start
something new going in this direction. It's an active project and is
used in Google internal projects and in some popular projects like
Chromium, LLVM.

This would be a really cool project and we have to start with it sooner
or later. What do you think?

As first steps I would recommend to
1. set up your own build environment for AOO
2. integrate the googletest in our build process (compile the source
from scratch in our env)
3. start using it by migrating some existing cppunit tests or implement
new ones

Again welcome at OpenOffice

 However I think it might be a bit overwhelming to start with. Anyway I'll
 check it out and see if it is something for me.

don't be shy, you can ask here on the list and it should be independent
of many other things.

The first step is to integrate the framework and make it available for
general usage. You don't have to write complex unit test, that can
evolve later on. The goal would be to make it usable in our buildenv
which can be of course a challenge as well.

The test framework is good documented which is good and will help to get
started. Everything else can we figure our later

Based on what you provided on the Directory of Volunteers, you would

Re: Hello

[Simple Good]

OpenOffice not opening.
OpenOffice uses a lot of resources in term of RAM memory and harddisk
space. WPS Office and MS Office uses much less resources. This is a
bad decision on the part of OpenOffice developers.
OpenOffice is free so it is usually used by persons who can't pay for
expensive software. These persons will have computers with the minimum
resources. Pray tell me how is OpenOffice going to be available for
them.
I know many of these persons will use ancient versions of OpenOffice
(pre Apache). Why not upgrade these ancient versions that will use the
minimum resources.
BTW how can I unsubscribe from these mailings to my account.

 If you would like to help us with building installation packages for WIndows 
 platforms then you should start by learning how to build from here:
 
 http://openoffice.apache.org/source.html
 
 This may be a difficult place to start, but it would be a prerequisite to 
 building an installation package.
 
 Please ask questions on the list as you explore.

Indeed expert knowledge in the area of Windows installer would be
appreciated. We have a hand made complex packaging process that is
designed to have many common procedures for all platforms + specialized
ones for each platform.

A simplification would be welcome and we are looking forward to produce
minor patch updates to provide better service to our users.

 
 One of the big areas we need help is with secure digital signatures of 
 installation artifacts. Anything that you could add to how we can make this 
 happen in very few steps would be helpful. The ASF has strict standards which 
 no one has met your expertise may prove helpful.

the singing process itself is not the problem it is more the handling or
better secure maintaining of the certificate. Signing a build in a
secure environment is only the matter of using the right flags.

But anyway in both areas help is welcome. Feel free to ask on the dev list

 Hello Open Office Developers:
 Good morning:
 I hope this eMail finds you well.  My name is David Ashelman and I have 
 bachelor degrees in computer information systems and mathematics.
 I really believe your software is very robust and extremely reliable.
  
 I have a lot of experience writing MSI database application setups also 
 teaching computer theory to new MSI crafters.  If I can help, then let me 
 know how I can improve your already remarkable software.
 Since 1996, I've been a network administrator, a software design support 
 engineer, an InstallShield technical trainer, a software Release/Build 
 technician, a Windows migration consultant, and an application packaging 
 engineer. 

 I have good technical skills and experience with people and software 
 engineering.
 * Two (2) Technical College Degrees (Computer Information Systems + Math) 
 * Four (4) years of experience employed by the corporation Flexera, who made 
 AdminStudio. I was responsible for supporting and training users of that 
 software (Flexera Admin Studio)
 * I worked at InstallShield from 1999 - 2003 the time when software 
 packaging began 

 From 2000-2003, I taught software application packaging, software design 
 Best Practices, and Windows migration around the United States, Canada,  
 Great Brittan while working for Flexera, Macro Vision, or InstallShield.

 During that time, I saw how very difficult understanding software builds, 
 releasing, and installs was for certain software application developers. So, 
 instead of simply reciting the InstallShield product examples, I wrote a 
 book illuminating and shedding light on hard to grasp concepts and how to 
 best handle those concepts in computer data transfer. Multiple illustrations 
 and mathematical proofs and equations explain everything you need to know to 
 make great software and application installations. 

 * Fourteen (14) years software build/release, software installation 
 authoring, application packaging engineering,  Windows migrations 

 From 2003-13 I have been around the United States meeting great people, 
 solving complex Windows migrations, solving software application packaging 
 projects, creating software build releases, and authored multi-platform 
 software installations. 

 With a little luck, hopefully we can work together. I’d like to help you 
 improve your software solutions.  Your future is bright.

 Kind regards

 Hello Open Office Developers:
 Good morning:
 I hope this eMail finds you well.  My name is David Ashelman and I have
 bachelor degrees in computer information systems and mathematics.
 I really believe your software is very robust and extremely reliable.

 I have a lot of experience writing MSI database application setups also
 teaching computer theory to new MSI crafters.  If I can help, then let me
 know how I can improve your already remarkable software.

 Since 1996, I've been a network administrator, a software design support
 engineer, an InstallShield technical trainer, a software Release/Build
 technician, a Windows migration consultant, and an application packaging
 engineer.


Hello Dave,

Thanks for writing and welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project!

You can read some more about the project and how we work here:

http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/

(Just scan that material for background info)

Setup/install is an area where we have a lot of room for improvement.
Juergen and Dave Fischer mentioned the code signing side of this.
Another area is to look at possibilities for incremental patch
updates.  Currently we require users to download/install the full
version for every update.

Regards,

-Rob


 I have good technical skills and experience with people and software
 engineering.
 * Two (2) Technical College Degrees (Computer Information Systems + Math)
 * Four (4) years of experience employed by the corporation Flexera, who made
 AdminStudio. I was responsible for supporting and training users of that
 software (Flexera Admin Studio)

 * I worked at InstallShield from 1999 - 2003 the time when software
 packaging began

 From 2000-2003, I taught software application packaging, software design
 Best Practices, and Windows migration around the United States, Canada, 
 Great Brittan while working for Flexera, Macro Vision, or InstallShield.


 During that time, I saw how very difficult understanding software builds,
 releasing, and installs was for certain software application developers. So,
 instead of simply reciting the InstallShield product examples, I wrote a
 book illuminating and shedding light on hard to grasp concepts and how to
 best handle those concepts in computer data transfer. Multiple illustrations
 and mathematical proofs and equations explain everything you need to know to
 make great software and application installations.

 * Fourteen (14) years software build/release, software installation
 authoring, application packaging engineering,  Windows migrations

 From 2003-13 I have been around the United States meeting great people,
 solving complex Windows migrations, solving software application packaging
 projects, creating software build releases, and authored multi-platform
 software installations.

 With a little luck, hopefully we can work together. I’d like to help you
 improve your software solutions.  Your future is bright.

 Kind regards

 David W. Ashelman

Re: Hello - new volunteer

[Dave Fisher]

Hi Dave,

Welcome! The first step in volunteering is to subscribe to this dev list.

If you would like to help us with building installation packages for WIndows 
platforms then you should start by learning how to build from here:

http://openoffice.apache.org/source.html

This may be a difficult place to start, but it would be a prerequisite to 
building an installation package.

Please ask questions on the list as you explore.

One of the big areas we need help is with secure digital signatures of 
installation artifacts. Anything that you could add to how we can make this 
happen in very few steps would be helpful. The ASF has strict standards which 
no one has met your expertise may prove helpful.

Regards,
Dave

Hi John good to hear from people wanting to jump into the OpenOffice
community offering help. I would suggest the first step is to get to build
AOO, to get a sense of how the code works and also make sure to ask a lot
in order to understand the ways of the code itself.

There is a good knowledge base on the WIKI about the Coding standards,
Architecture of the software and other similar things. Please enjoy.

First you should learn a little bit how this project works. Please start 
at https://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html and then start with 
the information we provided for new volunteers.

http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html

After that you should tell us, in which area you are interested in,  the 
time frame for your work, and a little bit about the skills do you have. 
There surely exists a task you will like and OpenOffice will benefit from.

Hi,

My name is Rosie, I live in Manchester (UK) and I work as a technical 
manager in a University looking after recording studios and a small post

found it invaluable! I am also very interested in the history of science

I am hoping to train myself as a technical writer and thought getting

Hi everyone,

since my colleagues and I started writing a plug-in for OpenOffice Writer I
wanted to let you guys know what we're trying to achieve with it.

My company's main product is a client-server-based tool that assists authors
in editing technical documentation. With a plug-in in their authoring tool,
they can send the document they're currently working on to the server for
linguistic analysis. Next to spell and grammar checking, this analysis
involves checking of certain style rules (like Don't use Future tense,
Don't use passive voice) and that the right terminology is used.
Terminology is useful if you want to ensure that e.g. parts of a device are
always called the same in a manual or that the right product name is used.
The results of the analysis are then highlighted in the document itself so
you don't have to jump between tools. The author can then click on each
highlight and gets a context menu that offers more information about the
issue and offers a suggestion how to correct it.

After some great hints and some research we decided to use a smart tag-based
approach to get the highlights for our flags into the document. For dummy
texts, this works pretty well. Writing a plug-in for OpenOffice is pretty
exciting for us since we have so far only dealt with proprietary editors with
black box APIs. Sometimes we're lucky and grab a hold of a developer within
the company that develops that editor and we get some information (usually
just a confirmation that this is indeed a bug). With OpenOffice, this is a
completely different story (finally!).

If there's anything else you're interested in please drop me a line.

Really looking forward to working with you guys!



Welcome on board.

It is great to see that AOO is being used in such an enterprise-focussed area 
and that such kind of users are getting involved in the project itself.
