Just to clarify my view here: TDF certainly made use of the OO.o extension service to date - which is to say our users have. I am in favor of our communities working together, as equals. Right now populating the new LibO extension site with those current extensions from the OO.o site that comply with our license model helps everyone it would seem - mostly users as they get a stable service in likely the shortest possible time. So - as an interim solution I would say +1.

Re: [tdf-discuss] OOo / LO Extensions
Hello Jomar, With the exception of the quite good points highlighted by Drew (some extensions might break or might not work in AOOo) , I think AOOo is free to point to our own extensions and templates website. Do know, however, that although we accept FOSS licences only (including Apache!) we do already have a specific branding of the site and that the extensions are tested and supposed to work for LibreOffice first. I would not expect too much compatibility problems for most of the extensions, but the issues will rise as the time will pass. so a non-binding +1 to welcome AOOo using our extensions and templates website. best, Charles. 2011/7/12 drew > On Tue, 2011-07-12 at 15:08 -0300, Jomar Silva wrote: > > Hi, > > > > There is some discussion going on at the Apache OOo mail list > > regarding the place to host extensions > > (http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/). > > > > It seems that the current hosting of extensions is facing some > > problems, and it will be great if we find a new (and common) home for > > the extensions, in a way that both Apache OOo and LibreOffice could > > use as a shared extensions repository. > > Hi Jomar, > > hmmm - that is assuming that the two separate projects will maintain > enough common code base that shared extensions are possible - that is a > requirement that I for one would not want to see enforced.

Hi Jomar, hmmm - that is assuming that the two separate projects will maintain enough common code base that shared extensions are possible - that is a requirement that I for one would not want to see enforced. The fact that we can share extensions today is, IMO, a remnant of a past history and should not dictate decisions for going forward - so I would not be in favor our hosting Apache OpenOffice.org branded extensions on a TDF/LibreOffice service, nor would I be in favor or seeing TDF/Libreoffice continue to point back to Apache OpenOffice.org for any future end user services. One related item here - Templates I think are a totally different consideration. I can see the ability to share templates between all of the ODF capable applications as a reasonable goal, a very desirable goal. It is extensions that I am concerned with here - to put it simply, I do not consider LibreOffice a downstream product of OpenOffice.org code any longer as with this next release if I understand correctly there will be no merge of OO.o code, nor can I see how Apache OpenOffice can ever be a down stream of LibreOffice. Nor am not saying that the two separate projects must diverge for divergence sake, only that having a shared service would add resistance to diverging and that is something that I would strongly disagree with - our options are open as of today and I would prefer to see them stay that way. I understand that many people still hope that OO.o and LibreOffice will somehow blend back into a single project - I can only say that I am not one of those people. This idea that there is some finite set of resources is one I take exception with. In my best judgment the resources assembled here under TDF/LibreOffice are sufficient to take this project and product forward. I wish the folks forming up under Apache to resurrect the OpenOffice.org project all the best of luck on the project they have decided to undertake, but I truly believe that their actions should bear very little weight with the people working here when it comes to planing/building out our offerings to end users.

I gather the LibreOffice extensions & templates service is nearly ready to switch on. With approval from the Steering Committee, it's feasible that AOOo could redirect the URL that OO.o currently uses and make it point at this new service for as long as they need to, in order to maintain continuity for users. Long-term, it's important to recognise that the LibreOffice service will only host extensions under open source licenses - nothing to stop someone else creating a downstream superset though.

[tdf-discuss] Jomar's thoughts about Apache OpenOffice
Hi, I noticed that I just sent an e-mail to this list talking about Apache OpenOffice, and I believe that some of you may find that a 'strange topic' on a TDF mail list. I would like to clarify that I'm working with both projects because I believe that they will become 'one' sometime in the future. I also believe that we have the chance to do the work at both projects with the maximum amount of collaboration as possible, and to illustrate my thoughts about that, I've wrote a blog post about the subject: http://homembit.com/2011/06/what-i-think-about-apache-openofficeorg-an-invitation-to-the-collaborative-work.html As it's written at the Brazilian government document that I signed too, we care a lot to have a FLOSS Office Suite that is useful Brazilian users, seeing that it is a key software to any FLOSS migration strategy, so I'll do my best to avoid us (Apache and TDF) doing things twice and wasting our scarce resources with useless things. Co-opetition is the key here, and I believe that we have market for both products right now and in a near future. We also have a common and hard-to-fight competitor on this race, and he is right now miles ahead from both of us !

Hi, There is some discussion going on at the Apache OOo mail list regarding the place to host extensions (http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/). It seems that the current hosting of extensions is facing some problems, and it will be great if we find a new (and common) home for the extensions, in a way that both Apache OOo and LibreOffice could use as a shared extensions repository. We could also do the same to host templates. Any thoughts about that ?

Also since 2007 I'm ahead of the ODF Alliance Latin America, and I've been talking (and writing) about ODF since them. I had the opportunity to talk about ODF to an audience bigger than 10.000 people in more than 5 countries the past years, and I really believe that a FLOSS is the key for the ODF standard adoption worldwide. My blog (www.homembit.com) has some good information about ODF and OpenStandards, and also the full history about OpenXML at ISO (yes, I was 'inside the room' at the BRM in Geneva). I decided to join the TDF and work with you to build LibreOffice. I developed C/C++ software during almost 10 years, but my programming skills are a little bit rusted right now (and I want to put that rust out soon).

Hi :) At some point i would like to see a mix of screen-shots done using different themes and different OSes but done in a planned way rather than just looking accidental and unprofessional. It could look very artistically pleasing if done with some consideration or it could just look messy if done without any thought. At the moment there are a few people that focus on the wording and just mark where they want screen-shots updated.

My feeling about this (and I *believe* that Jean Weber agrees) is that documentation contributors should have the option of contributing screenshots indifferently from Mac, Linux or Windows - although it would probably be preferable to maintain consistency within a given guide. Firstly, this makes it clear that LibreOffice is mult-platform and consistent across platforms. Secondly, we want to keep the barrier for new contributors as low as possible, and not *oblige* them to install new software in order to work in documentation. This way, hopefully, we can get a lot more people involved. These are the key reasons why I'm asking for the SC to take a position, because we've been meeting quite a bit of opposition from a relatively small number of people for quite some time now (who want screenshots taken under Linux only), and it would be nice to get the issue cleared up one way or another.

[tdf-discuss] Introduction
Hi everyone, I'm Jomar Silva from Brazil and I'm a OOo codebase user since the 90's, the good'n'old Star Office. I'm a member of the OASIS ODF TC since 2008, and also Brazilian expert at JTC1 / SC34 / WG6 (the group that handles ODF inside ISO). Also since 2007 I'm ahead of the ODF Alliance Latin America, and I've been talking (and writing) about ODF since them. I had the opportunity to talk about ODF to an audience bigger than 10.000 people in more than 5 countries the past years, and I really believe that a FLOSS is the key for the ODF standard adoption worldwide. My blog (www.homembit.com) has some good information about ODF and OpenStandards, and also the full history about OpenXML at ISO (yes, I was 'inside the room' at the BRM in Geneva). I decided to join the TDF and work with you to build LibreOffice. I developed C/C++ software during almost 10 years, but my programming skills are a little bit rusted right now (and I want to put that rust out soon). I can also help you with the translations and localization efforts to Brazilian Portuguese, with QA and marketing. I'm also member of the Apache OpenOffice project. Everything I'll write here are my personal opinions only and do not represent the opinions or positions from companies or organizations that I may be working with.

Re: [tdf-discuss] TDF fundraising suggestion - Bitcoin
I think that the EFF is a bit too cautious about the whole thing and I wouldn't follow suit. I don't see any problem getting bitcoin donations. And TDF can keep hold of them until the rate is good and exchange it in euros.

If there is some initial interest to go into this process and donate Bitcoins to the TDF, then it would make sense to set up something to receive those Bitcoins. I would just like to add that there is a large body of Bitcoin users who don't mine (instead acquiring their Bitcoins through exchanging) and they are also potential donors. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
