I can simply invert the question: why doesn't TDF simply contribute to Apache 
OpenOffice.org?

There is not a simple answer: it's a long story of copyleft.

In the future, I'm sure Apache, and TDF will find a way to collaborate actively.

Be sure EducOOo never will (or will be without me), and the day Apache 
project will do that, I'll have no reason to continue to contribute.



Just a reminder:

TDF and LibreOffice have been decided in the background, without 
public discussion, without even inform the OpenOffice.org project 
leads, by people who autoproclamed themselves as founding members.


Clemens,

do you understand why there isn't a simple answer?

The same concepts are expressed in similar way inside TDF's mailing 
lists. With the same good reasons.


But I'm sure at the end the reason and the common good will prevail on 
egocentric positions.

[dev] Exception occurred in transex3.exe on SVL module building OOo

2010-06-17 Thread Davide Dozza
Hi all,

I'm trying buiding OOo DEV300_m81 downloaded as tarballs un WinXP.

This in my configure command:

$ ./configure --with-dict=ITIT,ENUS --with-lang=it --without-junit
--disable-build-mozilla  -with-mozilla-build=/cygdrive/c/mozilla-build
--with-cl-home=/cygdrive/c/Programmi/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC

This is the error I receive when I build svl module with the command:

[dev] Howto execute OOo for the first time without registration form?

2008-02-09 Thread Davide Dozza
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

after installing OOo on Win XP, every new user has to fill the
registration form.

In OOo 1.1.x some registry keys had to be set up during unattended
installation. The same keys don't work anymore.

Is there another way to obtain this behavior?

More in general, is there an updated list of registry keys that can be
used in order to configure OOo installation?

Re: [dev] Some thoughts about our community

2007-10-09 Thread Davide Dozza
Hi Juergen,

I wouldn't discuss about [2] and [3]. They are just examples and they
have been discussing on other places.

I would like to discuss about [1] and why we are almost the same people
any year, why the number of participants doesn't grow and why large
proportion of people comes from few companies.

The problem is always the same. IMHO our project is likely definable as
big companies project with an end-user community collaboration.
What I would like to see is the project transformed in a really free
software community project with companies collaboration, maybe with a
sort of hybridization model.
Even IMHO this is the main reason because our community doesn't grow as
they should.

I think is time to change some rules. The model is showing his limits.

What are, at the moment, the proposals to solve such problem and open
our project to external contributions also in term of management?

A geological era ago (in 2001) someone proposed the creation of a
foundation.

http://www.openoffice.org/white_papers/OOo_project/openofficefoundation.html

This argument has been discussed privately every year.
Is it time maybe to rivive this discussion?
