[libreoffice-projects] How to contribute to LibreOffice: a digest with pointers

2012-11-16 Thread Charles-H. Schulz
Hi,

Sophie Gautier from the Membership Committee has written a series of
articles on how to become a contributor to LibreOffice without being a
developer (nor becoming one). I have sampled them in a digest for
convenience and I hope it will help :

I would like to see more Regional Language DVD available for users at 
the LO site.  The LibreOffice-Box and the North American Community DVD 
Project are the only two DVDs that are found on, as far as I know, that 
are available to users for downloading.


LO is supporting 100 languages, but right now German and English DVDs 
are it.  It would be nice tohave links to Spanish, French, Italian, and 
other major languages around the world, DVDs dedicated for users in 
those languages.  There may be projects out there for regional version 
of such DVDs, but I do not know how our users could find them or 
download an ISO file for them.


Creating a regional DVD and posting the ISO file online for our users to 
download -IS- one of the many ways to help support LibreOffice around 
the world.


So, this is my call to all users in other regions of the world to help 
their regional users by creating a DVD for them.


http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=boxversion=3.6.3
for NA-DVD [in English] with 3.6.3 installs

http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=boxversion=3.6.2
for NA-DVD [in English] with 3.6.2 installs
for LibreOffice-Box [in German] with 3.6.2 installs

http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=boxversion=3.5.7
For the DVDs for the last of the 3.5 line.

[libreoffice-projects] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.6.4 RC1 available

2012-11-16 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is happy to announce the first release
candidate of LibreOffice 3.6.4. The upcoming 3.6.4 will be the fourth
in a series of frequent bugfix releases, for our feature-packed 3.6
branch. Please be aware that LibreOffice 3.6.4 RC1 is not ready for
production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.6.3 for that.

The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA
builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A good way to assess the release candidate quality is to run some
specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

 (and the announcement mail: 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-December/022464.html)
 
For other ways to get involved with this exciting project - you can
e.g. contribute code:

  http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/

translate LibreOffice to your language:

or help with funding our operations:

A list of known issues and fixed bugs with 3.6.4 RC1 is available
from our wiki:

  http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/3.6.4/RC1

Let us close again with a BIG Thank You! to all of you having
contributed to the LibreOffice project - this release would not have
been possible without your help.

Yours,

The Document Foundation Board of Directors
