[dev] Please note: dev@openoffice.org list to be retired on March 15th

2012-03-01 Thread Rob Weir
Please note:   The time has come for this list to be retired.  It will
be shutdown on or soon after March 15th.  All of the legacy
OpenOffice.org email lists will be shutdown at that time.

The good news is that we have an equivalent list for Apache OpenOffice
and you are welcome to subscribe to that list.

To join the new list, send an email to
ooo-dev-subscr...@incubator.apache.org. This should be done from the
email account where you want to receive the list messages.

This will generate a confirmation email which will be sent to your
email address. You will need to reply to the confirmation email in
order to complete your subscription to the new list.

To send posts to the new list, you will mail them to the following
address: ooo-...@incubator.apache.org

And if you ever want to unsubscribe to the new list, you can do so by
sending an email to: ooo-dev-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org

Regards,

-Rob

 And what's about a germanophone mailinglist?
 (Und was ist mit einer deutschsprachigen Mailingliste?)


The ooo-...@incubator.apache.org list is the official project list for
the Apache OpenOffice project. Although it has dev in the name, you
can think of it as the general project list for Apache OpenOffice.
We're trying to avoid the fragmentation that can occur when you have
300 different mailing lists.

On ooo-dev we are very tolerant of non-native English speakers.  In
fact, the majority of project members speak something other than
English as their native tongue.  But it is important, for working
together, that we have a common list and mode of communication and are
able to achieve a critical mass of activity.

That said, we are open to creating other lists where need is
demonstrated, and where there are volunteers to help moderate the
lists.  Proposals should be made to the ooo-...@incubator.apache.org
mailing list.

Regards,

-Rob


 Kind regards

 Michael

[dev] Re: Now available: Apache OpenOffice Announcement List

 Why doesn't apache simply contribute to LibreOffice?
 I don't see the reasioning behind spliting the scarce resources any further.


The code from Apache projects is available for all to use, including
LibreOffice.  The license allows this and the FSF says that the Apache
license is compatible with GPLv3:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#apache2

Also, LibreOffice developers are already looking at areas where they
can take improvements we've made in Apache OpenOffice, such as our new
native SVG support:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-December/021884.html

So we are contributing to LibreOffice, and IMHO this is wonderful!
Of course, I think we'd all prefer for this to be a two-way
collaboration, but I think that will come over time.

 The Apache OpenOffice Project Management Committee is pleased to
 announce the availability of our new Announcement mailing list.  This
 is a low-volume list which will be used to announce the availability
 of OpenOffice betas and releases, to issue security bulletins, and to
 report similar relevant information.  This is not a discussion list.
 It will be used only for authoritative announcements regarding Apache
 OpenOffice.

 We encourage all OpenOffice users and other interested parties to
 subscribe to this list by following these steps:

 1) Send an email to:   ooo-announce-subscr...@incubator.apache.org

 2) Wait a few minutes and then check your inbox for a confirmation email.

 3) Respond to the confirmation email

 (If you ever want to unsubscribe, send an email to:
 ooo-announce-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org and respond to the
 confirmation email.)

 lists can be found here:

[dev] Announcement: This mailing list is being migrated to Apache

2011-11-01 Thread Rob Weir
Please read this note in its entirety. It contains important
information related to this mailing list, its migration to the Apache
Software Foundation, and the steps you must take to ensure continuous
access to the list.

Background

As you may have heard, Oracle contributed the OpenOffice.org (OOo)
code to Apache in June. All new projects at Apache start in the
Incubator, a special part of Apache where new projects (Podlings)
and their communities are given special attention by Apache mentors
as they learn about Apache, ensure that the source code meets Apache's
license requirements, and work toward their initial Apache release.

In parallel with the coding efforts needed before we can publish
Apache OpenOffice.org 3.4.0, the Apache OpenOffice.org community,
working with the Apache Infrastructure team, is migrating the many
legacy OOo websites and other online services formerly hosted by
Sun/Oracle onto Apache servers. This has been a huge effort and we are
showing good progress in many areas.

You can read more about the current status of the migration effort on
this wiki page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/OpenOffice.org+Migration+Status

Additional relevant information is published in our project blog at:
http://blogs.apache.org/OOO/

Resubscribing

Among the services hosted by Oracle on the legacy OOo servers are over
300 mailing lists, including the dev@openoffice.org mailing list you
are reading now.  In order to preserve your subscription to the list,
you will need to resubscribe to the new list address, per the
following instructions:

1.Send an email to ooo-dev-subscr...@incubator.apache.org. This
should be done from the email account where you want to receive the
list messages.

2.This will generate a confirmation email which will be sent to
your email address. You will need to reply to the confirmation email
in order to complete your subscription to the new list.

3.To send posts to the new list, you will mail them to the
following address: ooo-...@incubator.apache.org

4.And if you ever want to unsubscribe to the new list, you can do
so by sending an email to ooo-dev-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org

We invite and encourage you to follow the above steps and to
participate in Apache OpenOffice.org project. If you have any
questions, feel free to post as responses to this note, or send a
question to ooo-...@incubator.apache.org.

Notes

1.We recommend that you do not subscribe via a legacy
openoffice.org email address. It is uncertain at this point whether
these addresses will be supported in the future.

2.Archives of the legacy mailing lists are available here:
http://openoffice.markmail.org/

3.Archives of the new mailing lists will be available here:
http://markmail.org/search/+list:org.apache.incubator.ooo-dev

[dev] Apache OpenOffice.org Developer Education: Building on Linux

2011-09-01 Thread Rob Weir
There have been some recent posts on the list of people asking how
they can get involved with coding in OOo.   The Apache OpenOffice
project will be hosting a virtual even next week to help new
contributors get started with OOo development.  We'll focus on build
on Linux next week.  Other platforms will follow at a later time.

If you are interested, you can read more on this blog post:

[dev] Re: uninstall instructions needed

2011-08-20 Thread Rob Weir
Do you remember when and where you download OpenOffice 3.3.  Until
recently there was a website downloads of a hacked version of
OpenOffice.  They loaded it up with all sorts of bloatware and put it
on OpenOffice.com.  The legitimate website is OpenOffice.org.  The
fake website has now been shut down.

 I don't  understand why I can't uninstall the openoffice 3.3 which has an
 'unidentified' publisher. It says some files are open and to close first to
 finish uninstalling. But no files nor programs are open except the Uninstall
 on my windows computer.

 pleas adivise because since downloading your program I have bizillion sites
 open up automatically for all kinds of products I don't want--even tho I
 uninstalled . I suspect  an illegitimate activity that needs be reported.
