-Great Software requires great people. Apache OpenOffice is the result
of over twenty years' continuous high quality software engineering.
Designed from the start as a **single piece of software**, Apache
OpenOffice has a consistency and a quality that is world class. Its
**open-source** development model means there are no secrets.
+杰出的软件依赖于杰出的人。Apache
OpenOffice凝聚了二十多年持续高质量软件工程的结晶。从最初的**一体软件**开始，Apache
OpenOffice秉承一致，具有世界级的质量。它的**开源**开发模式意味着没有秘密。
- - **Better by design**
+ - **更好的设计**
-Developed over twenty years, Apache OpenOffice is a mature,
reliable, product. OpenOffice was designed from the start as a single
piece of software - not bolted together from separate software packages.
This makes it very consistent and easy to use - what you learn in one
application is immediately usable in another. The context-sensitive help
works across all applications, unobtrusively providing the precise help
you need. You can even open any type of document from any application -
OpenOffice is really one piece of software. It also runs on all major
computing platforms - Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, Sun Solaris, Apple
Mac - isn't that great!
+历经二十余年开发，Apache
OpenOffice是一款成熟可靠的产品。OpenOffice是从单一的一体软件为设计起点——而不是将来自不同地方的软件包囫囵拼装到一起。这使它非常一致并易于使用——你在一个应用中学到的能够立即应用到另一个应用。在所有应用中都有基于上下文的帮助，恰到好处地为你提供所需的精确帮助信息。你甚至可以在任何一个应用中打开任何一种类型的文档——这就叫一体软件。并且它可以在所有主要计算机平台上运行——微软视窗、GNU/Linux、Sun
Solaris、苹果Mac——是不是很棒！
- - **Better for you**
+ - **更适合你**
-Apache OpenOffice contains all the office software you need, in one
single package. You don't have to worry which version to install: one
installation program provides everything. The installation also includes
features which some expensive rivals do not - for example, the ability
to create .pdf files when you want to guarantee what the recipient sees
on their computer. There is also a growing range of extensions:
additional features that any developer can provide. The Apache
OpenOffice project releases software several times a year so you can
take advantage of new features as quickly as possible.
+Apache
OpenOffice在一个单一软件包中包含了所有你需要的办公软件。你不必苦恼于应选择安装什么：一个安装程序就包含了所有应用。所安装的内容中还包含一些那些昂贵的竞争对手所没有的功能——比如，创建pdf文件的功能，使你能够确保文件接收者可以在它们的机器上浏览你的文件。而大量的扩展包提供了许多额外的功能，这样的扩展包来自不同的开发者，而且还在不断增加。Apache
OpenOffice项目每年会发布多个版本，这样你就能够尽快享受到新的功能。
- - **Honest software**
+ - **诚信软件**
-Apache OpenOffice is developed using an open-software, no secrets
approach. Anyone can look at the programs and suggest improvements, or
fix bugs. Anyone can report problems or request enhancements, and anyone
can see the response from other users or developers. The status of
current and future releases is displayed on a public wiki, so you can
decide if and when you want to upgrade to take advantage of new
features. Anyone used to commercial software and its hyping and
marketing speak will find Apache OpenOffice refreshingly different.
Enjoy the benefits of open-source!
+Apache
OpenOffice是使用开放软件开发的，遵循“没有秘密”的方式。任何人都可以查看这个项目并提出改进建议或修复缺陷。任何人都可以报告问题或者提出功能增强的要求，并看到来自其他用户或开发员的反馈。当前和未来版本都在wiki页面公布，这样你就可以决定是否想升级以利用新功能，何时升级。所有习惯于商业软件和相关市场宣传和广告的人都会发现Apache
OpenOffice完全不同。享受开源之美吧！

to as many people as you like. You may use OpenOffice for any purpose
without restriction: private, educational, public administration,
commercial... Free, really free.

OpenOffice是一款免费软件。这意味着你可以免费下载，免费安装到任意数量的电脑上，随意将这款软件复制给其他人。你可以将OpenOffice使用于任何目的而无限制：个人，教育，公务，商务……真正的免费，真正的自由。
- - **Free of charge**

-It's hard to believe that high quality, easy to use software like
Apache OpenOffice can really be free. But thanks to contributions of
time and money, from individuals and companies (large and small),
OpenOffice is free for you to use today. Furthermore, the open-source
licence used by OpenOffice means this freedom can never be taken away.
The OpenOffice community are delighted if you find our software of use.
Please help us by telling people about Apache OpenOffice, and if you
can, pass them on a copy. More people use OpenOffice as a result of
personal recommendation than any other route.
+很难相信象Apache
OpenOffice这样的高质量、易用软件会是真正免费的。但要感谢那些个人与公司（无论大小）的贡献者所投入的精力与资金，OpenOffice如今可以供你免费自由使用。而且，OpenOffice所使用的开源协议保证了这种使用的自由永远不会被剥夺。请帮助我们将Apache
OpenOffice告诉更多的人，而且如果可以，给他们一份拷贝。因为相对于其它途径，更多的人是因为他人的推荐而使用OpenOffice的。
- - **Freedom from worry**
+ - **免除顾虑**
-However, a free software licence means much more than a one-off
cost saving. It means you never need worry again whether your software
is legal, or whether it will expire some day. For people responsible for
a number of computers - from just a few in a small business, hundreds in
a school, thousands in a corporation - this is a huge weight off the
mind. No need for software audits, for keeping invoices for years, no
worry about ending up in court because you misread some small print in a
licence agreement.
+
并且，一个免费的软件协议所意味的不仅仅是一次花费的节省。它意味着你永远不用再担心你的软件是否合法，或者它是否会在某一天过期。对于那些负责多台计算机——从小公司的几台，到学校的几百台，到一个大型企业的几千台——的人来说，这真是大大省了心了。不用进行软件审查，不用把发票存好几年，不必担心因为误读了许可协议中某一小段而最后上法庭。
- - **We value your freedom**
+ - **自由选择**
-As part of a community dedicated to free software, we also value
your freedom of choice. Apache OpenOffice will read and write files
which can be used in other common office software. It was the first
software in the world to fully support the ISO standard for office file
formats which is being adopted by a growing number of software vendors.
If you want to use other software, we want you to be free to do so. If
you want to change your PC from Microsoft Windows to Apple Mac to Linux,
we want you to be free to do so. If you like this approach, feel free to
join the Apache OpenOffice community.
+作为致力于免费软件的社区，我们同样为你选择的自由而努力。Apache
OpenOffice可以读写同样能够被其它常用办公软件使用的文件。它是世界上第一个完全支持ISO办公文件格式标准的软件，而这一标准正在被越来越多的软件商所支持。如果你想使用其它软件，我们希望你可以毫无困难地做到。如果你想把自己的电脑从微软视窗改变到苹果Mac或Linux，我们希望你可以毫无困难地做到。如果你喜欢这个主意，来加入Apache

Hi, On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 2:05 PM, Ariel Constenla-Haile arie...@apache.org wrote: I will request release blocker status, so that the fix gets included in the next release. This isn't really a release blocker, but the fix is very trivial and it has no risk at all. On the other hand, Programmability should always be a top priority in Apache OpenOffice, because it is a way to develop custom solutions on top of Apache OpenOffice binary release without the need to rebuild from source code nor hack it around. And as the reporter says, this bug is rather annoying. even trivial fixes are tricky sometimes. Do we have the fix in place and can we do some code review? I commit it on trunk: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revisionrevision=1371665 The bug is far from making AOO absolutely unusuable. Some background information, as I was told that I (1) was quoted on another bugzilla (2). Looking at all the German names, it looks like most of them come from the WollMux people from München's LiMux project (3). I couldn't find information if they are still using OpenOffice.org, or if they have migrated to LO, or are planning to do so with Apache OpenOffice, Google search shows most results for OOo and WollMux. Any way it does not seem a good idea to make API users wait until the next release to have this bug fixed. You can see this bug annoyance by running the SDK examples openoffice.org/basis3.4/sdk/examples/DevelopersGuide/FirstSteps openoffice.org/basis3.4/sdk/examples/DevelopersGuide/OfficeBean and even using the NB plug-in: in a new AOO Component Project, bootstrapping to fill the tree with types opens the Start Center too.

If Java can do it better, why not? I'm not using Java because I love Java, but because I can link to the whole Java SDK and everything else. I had even created an Android App using UNO API earlier this year. Will UNO API does that everything else (including the Android library), too? I'm afraid that is not necessary, and is not possible. The same goes for Python, C++, too. Besides, UNO API is slow. UNO API constantly serializes mass amount of objects in and out through network socket. I can save this if I only does the necessary parts with UNO API, but leave other object exchange within a same Java process. And UNO API is tedious. The UNO type casting and exception handling sucks. (Read my code.) If I do everything with UNO API (if that is possible), I might not finish it in 400 lines and by now, and it makes others more difficult to read the code. I believe OpenOffice Basic tried to do everything before, but failed.

[DISCUSS] OpenOffice Track: ApacheCon Europe
By now everyone must be aware that the CFP system will be closing tomorrow, August 13th. We'll have an idea of what was submitted this week. In the meantime, let's have a discussion about how we want to shape our track beyond those proposals. Here's an outline to get the discussion moving... REMEMBER, this is our conference track to shape was we wish. We have a fair amount of flexibility within the overall framework of ApacheCon. At this point, let's conceive of this as a 2-day affair nested within the 4 days of ApacheCon. Keynote(s) a) PMC Chair (let's plan on graduation as a fact by early November, so we would ask our Chair to anchor the track keynote b) I/T Leader responsible for OpenOffice user communities c) Meetups with other projects: a) Shindig/Rave b) Chemistry c) POI,Tika, PDFbox d) ... Hackathons -- topics? Social a) Fora b) National community groups: ... Other Topics?
Re: request for enchancement of the define name function in calc
I think it is a formula issue and not belong to name scope range. 2012/8/10 Jianyuan Li lijianyuan1...@gmail.com Hi, Wang Lei, Below is my clarification for issue https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119565. Comment is also added in Bugzilla. In Excel 2003 define a defined name as =Sheet1!$D$3:$D$5,Sheet1!$B$3:$B$5. In this defined name, a union operator(Excel uses , and AOO uses ~) is used to form a union area. This defined name will be passed into a formula SUM. Import them in AOO, by Excel 2003 filter the union operator will be translated into ; which is an old union operator. And SUM will take it as a parameter separator. So the SUM result seems correct while it is not in AOO. Union operator should be set as ~ in defined name in AOO. But a fix in Excel 2003 filter is not reasonable because: 1. Defined name with union(OO uses ;) created in lower version OO(OOo2.4.3) still cannot be imported correctly even if a fix is patched in Excel 2003 filter. 2. I have checked this formula =SUM((B3:B5,D3:D5))(union directly used) created in Excel 2003. It will be imported as =SUM((B3:B5~D3:D5)) which is correct. While Excel 2003 filter still imports the union as ;. But as last it is ~. Core function must does something which a hint to fix union issue in defined name. So please take consideration for it in the enhancement. Regards, Jianyuan 2012/8/8 Lei Wang lei.wang.l...@gmail.com Hi Regina I saw your comments in https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120478 It is glad to know that ODF1.2 support sheet scoped defined name. It is very important to comply with ODF1.2. So our plan will be changed to Step 1, support interoperability with sheet scoped defined name in Excel. Because the solution is ready. it is our first priority. Step 2, support loading and saving ods file for sheet scoped defined name. We will put it in our AOO3.5 plan. Step 3, support create sheet scoped defined name in GUI in AOO.

Kind regards Regina shzh zhao schrieb: hi, here is an interoperability issue in Aoo. When loading VBA that contains defined name in Aoo, the names are changed to a new one if the name is limited in a worksheet in MS office.This will cause big problem. After my investigation,I found it is an limitation of Aoo. Because MS Excel 2003 can support worksheet scope defined name. but it can't be set in UI. and Excel 2007 can define duplicate name for different sheet in its name manager dialog. When AOO loading a xlsx/xls file which has duplicated defined name, AOO will only change the name to a unique one. But any other place which uses the defined name is not changed, this is the root cause. this enchancement will be completed in 2 steps. in Currently step, just focus on the interoperability of MS defined name.,and not modify the ODF file format. if MS office defined range names with a sheet or a work book,import it in Aoo, make the name of work book in the original,but with a flag of global name,for example,the name is Name_1,it will be Name_1 as before in the define name dialog. make the name of work sheet to the original,but with a flag of sheet name,for example,the name is Name_1,it will be Name_1 (sheet 1) in the define name dialog if the name is defined in the sheet 1. here is the issue link: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/**show_bug.cgi?id=120478 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120478 -- * mailto: *aoo.zhaos...@gmail.com https://google.com/profiles https://google.com/profiles
Re: Extensions and Templates New Features
On Sat, Aug 11, 2012 at 3:17 PM, RGB ES rgb.m...@gmail.com wrote: 2012/8/9 Roberto Galoppini rgalopp...@geek.net: Below what's new, I also blogged about that at SourceForge blog. 1) Download statistics are now automatically obtained via the SourceForge API and are more reliable than the old system, in which the counters had been turned off and remained stuck for a long time due to inaccuracies in the counting procedures and incompatibilities with cache system. By the way, the SourceForge API is the same system used for the official Apache OpenOffice counter downloads. Additionally, since we can’t calculate statistics for externally hosted extensions as reliably, their download counters have been removed and they won’t appear in the “Most Popular Extensions” listings. This is also the case for Commercial extensions with no public releases. Note that the default home page of the Extensions site has been set back to Most Popular Extensions, as we believe that newcomers would probably benefit from having the top extensions in the home page. To provide visitors only meaningful statistics, the daily download numbers have been replaced by a link to a timeline with real-time statistics, charts and analysis. 2) The new antispam system is now online on the Extensions site. We’ve tested it extensively. Since the live site receives up to 50 spam submissions per day it was pretty easy to figure out if it was working properly. It has been in operation for over a week and so far has proved very effective. For end-users this means meaningful comments are more visible and the possibility of adding comments if needed (something we had to temporarily block for some titles because of the spam). 3) We updated the graphic theme of the site and the primary links to reflect the new name and new logo for Apache OpenOffice. In this way visitors can more easily identify these sites as the official repositories of OpenOffice Extensions and Templates, and they can be confident that they are still maintained. Roberto Great news! The spam disappeared from the site. It seems to work pretty well, glad you noticed! A quick question: which is the best way for an user to report problems found on the site? Actually the Contact us link at the bottom of the page brings the user to a page suggesting to contact the Forum, the author or SourceForge community team respectively for General questions about this website or extensions/templates, A particular extension/template and Technical questions regarding this website. For some reasons we receive few emails posing questions about the extensions/templates, I tend to reply if I know the answer, otherwise I suggest them to use the forum.
