[board-discuss] Signing for booth at OSCON
Our application for a booth in the Non-Profit Pavilion at OSCON has been approved. (Dates: July 23-25 for the booth; OSCON is July 22-26. Portland, Oregon, USA.) There is no cost to us for the booth. Who should sign the contract with O'Reilly on behalf of TDF? I am happy to do it if the Board authorises me to do so. The contract needs to be signed (online) by May 15 to confirm our space. I can provide a link to the contract to any Board member who wishes to read it. Regards, Jean Jean Hollis Weber

So without specific documentation they're essentially stalled, while with a handbook, you could get a lot of helpers to implement additions in Python. Looks like a classic multiplier situation to me. Is there a bug about this? Is the handbook to be built by the doc team? It seems like a lack of samples / handbook could be a big reason for the stalled pipeline of Python patches. Warm regards, -Keith The doc team does not, at this time, work on technical docs like a handbook for PyUno, but if anyone knowledgeable on the subject wanted to work on one and provide samples of use, we could help with editing (including improving the writers' English if needed), formatting, and other production issues. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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

We are currently holding around AUD9,000 (more than USD9,000, or around EUR7,250 at current exchange rates) in the (former) OOoAuthors account and around AUD1,000 in the LibreOffice Docs account. More comes in each month. Money from LO book sales is exclusively for LO use. In addition... With two communities (LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice) replacing the former OOo, and with a large number of the people who worked on OOo user guides now working with LO, it seems only fair that the money in the former OOoAuthors account be made available to LO as well as ApacheOO. Instead of giving the LO money to The Document Foundation for general expenses, we think it is better to make it available to cover expenses that The Document Foundation can't or won't deal with. Some examples might be the cost of marketing materials (including copies of the user guides) for tables at events, attendance at events aimed at potential and actual customers (librarians, educators, etc), or just about anything that would be valuable for spreading awareness and growing the community and the customer base. We don't have a very formal process for people to request money, but you would need to give enough info about what you want the money for, how much, who's involved, and so on, so the Friends of OpenDocument Inc's Management Committee can evaluate your request. BTW, we welcome new members; no charge to join. Info about membership is on the website, which is rarely updated except for financial statements and notices of meetings required by law (and the minutes of those meetings). --Jean Hollis Weber http://friendsofopendocument.com/ -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to board-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[board-discuss] Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Licensing for NEW documents
Oops, I sent this to a wrong address. Trying again. --Jean On Mon, Nov 28, 2011 at 11:00, Jean Weber jeanwe...@gmail.com wrote: On the documentation list, I proposed changing the license for NEW docs from the legacy licensing (carried over from the OOo user guides that were revised for LO) to a different license. The proposal has generated quite a bit of discussion. David Nelson suggested that we should involve the Board in these discussions, so I am referencing the thread involved. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Licensing-for-NEW-documents-tp3536793p3536793.html --Jean Weber -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to board-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [tdf-discuss] UI proposal

I spend a lot of time proofreading and comparing docs... Although you can't put up two documents in one window, you can have two windows open, either for different docs or for different views of the same doc, and arrange them on the screen however you like. Of course, it helps if you have a large monitor (mine is 27). I don't see any advantage of one window with multiple docs, though I'll admit it's been many years since I used a program that did that so I may be missing something. What *is* the advantage from your POV? --Jean -- To unsubscribe, e-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.
