This message is from 2021/03/14 and got no response from TDF team, bodies or regulars. What about https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/msg02821.html or https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/msg02823.html then? Apart from that, this is what happens in open source communities, some mails find little echo, others more, and some just take a while to get answered.

Hello Andreas, Andreas Mantke wrote on 07.04.21 at 21:13: it seemed there is no interest from TDF to host such a program which supports the more easy creation of LibreOffice extensions. why always this negativity? I find it quite frustrating - and knowing you personally for a decade and a half, it makes me sad too, because I know that you can also be a quite positive person with good enthusiastic ideas. You sent your mail on April 2nd, Good Friday, which is a public holiday in some countries, followed by the Easter days, that many of us celebrate with their families and close beloved ones, especially during these times. People might simply be busy with catching up after the Easter break. Can I ask you please to not always assume the negative reading of things when it comes to TDF? Despite the strong criticism you were raising towards us elsewhere, I was sharing your mail with the team earlier this week, because I found it quite interesting and asked people to have a look. But you need to give the community a bit of time to look into things.

Re: [libreoffice-projects] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2019-OCT-09
Hi, I think a meeting with just one person doesn't make much sense, it rather distracts potential contributors, it's not very inviting. :-) We do have a similar issue with other calls too - the German community call is not really frequented a lot. Infra seems to be getting better, so does marketing, but I remember also for these it was a big struggle. I wonder what we can do to improve the situation. For the UX calls, did we ever reach out to potential contributors, asking for feedback on the calls, like timing and focus? Did we try different approaches?

There are several truly free and open solutions out there, but sadly, very few users use them - and that's in line with what I wrote earlier on about "getting people where they are". I tried some mobile IRC clients a while ago and was not really convinced: no push notification, high battery usage - IRC simply is a different tool than a messenger...

Re: [libreoffice-projects] On the communication channels we use
Hello, ilmari.lauhakan...@libreoffice.org wrote on 2017-07-31 at 14:25: I have concerns regarding the communication channels we use for working on LibreOffice. First, it seems we are sliding into a situation where thanks for sharing your concerns. I indeed do take these very seriously, and that topic was considered quite a lot before going that route. My personal take on the situation is that the primary and official channels are those on TDF premises, i.e. primarily our mailing lists, wiki, pad and other resources to create and upload content. We have full control over these. My personal order of preference is e-mail (it's an asynchronous medium that everyone can use at the time and frequency they like), sometimes chat or phone, as the latter ones can help resolving topics easier than with lots of mails back and forth. During the previous LibreOffice Conference, the organizers have setup a Telegram group for the attendees. It was considered mostly an experiment and planned to be shut down after the conference - the strong participation rate and acceptance of it made us rethink and keep it running. It was not a decision upfront, but turned out to be a good idea (IMHO) over time. So, it was initialized in first place by volunteer conference organizers, and has not been pushed by TDF's team, although of course they are quite visible. I agree, though, that we can get better on communication that, indeed. There was a blog post at https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2016/10/25/presenting-libreoffice-telegram-channel/ that also mentions bridging to IRC, but we could have added more details. The main reason for using all sorts of networks is that we "want to get the people where they are". Especially for the younger generations, and also for some native language groups, messengers and social networks have turned out to be the most effective way. I recall at least one community ever since using Google Plus, and another one ever since using Facebook, considering mailing lists way too complicated and "old style". Being a free software enthusiast, and essentially living in my e-mail client, this doesn't make me totally happy; however, IMHO we would be wasting lots of opportunities if we expect people to show up on mailing lists and IRC, independent what their background is. This is also the reason why the (few) truly free and open social tools do not help in this regard - they are only used by those already attracted by our project. If we want to reach out to new possible contributors, we need to show up where they are, if we like it or not. And looking at my contacts, very few of these use one of the truly free tools either; one contact here, another contact there, but nothing consistent sadly. For me, the main rationale is to have as many content creation, discussions and votes on official channels as possible. I'd like to avoid a situation where decisions take place on some random network only a few subscribe to - the primary working place is the mailing list still, decision need to be properly communicated and shared and run on the official channels. I'm all open for making access easier, have a better web IRC, and also re-investigate video conferencing systems (although I have to admit that testing with 10-20 people is quite time-consuming, so I'd prefer a real-life experience with such an amount, geographically distributed, on various bandwiths). Bridging is another option, and deciding which content to post where makes sense as well. If you have proposals, please share them. We surely can get better, and I'm open for any proposals. Hope that helps!

[libreoffice-projects] 2016 budget proposals
Dear community, the year 2015 is over, and we have achieved a lot of exciting things, thanks to your amazing work, dedication, passion and support - thank you so much for being part of our community and working with us on the joint goal of fostering LibreOffice! In order to support the community even better, we would like to create a better budgetting process, have a concrete plan for 2016 already now, with a few "pools" or "buckets" defined, ideally: 1. community events (aimed at getting face-time for community contributors) 2. infrastructure (e.g. compute power/hardware/storage, cloud, VMs), 3. marketing (aimed at representing the project to the outside world) 4. other (anything that does not fit into the above) The idea is to have a good plan for 2016 already now, while keeping the administrative overhead low, and have two authorizers (one of them being a board member or deputy, the other one from the wider community) responsible for each budget, which means getting receipts, approving and tracking expenses, and clarifying questions with Florian or Sophie. To get a better understanding of your needs, we ask you to send us your budget requests within *three weeks* from this e-mail, i.e. by 2016-03-02 to flo...@documentfoundation.org While I monitor some of the lists, please always send your proposals/requests *directly* to me so they are not lost! Please let us know your requests for funds *alongside* some items you envision to be paid from these funds. The items are not binding, the spending in the end is the responsibility of the authorizers, but some examples help the board in getting a better understanding of the funds required to best match your needs. If possible, please also mention the amount of travel costs associated. We'll factor in some margin, but concrete numbers and ideas are very much welcome to have a plan for 2016. As a sample, a request could look like this: ## We'd like to request a 2016 budget of 1000 € for community events 500 € for infrastructure 1500 € for marketing Expenses we envision are 1. marketing: attendance at XYZ trade show to show LibreOffice to ABC user group (700 € booth costs, 300 € for collaterals and 500 € of travel, totalling to 1500 €), 2. community: a community weekend to discuss tasks and ideas (600 € hotel, 100 € for snacks and 300 € travel, totalling to 1000 €), 3. infrastructure: dedicated server to QA localized versions (500 €) ## Alongside that, we will also provide some mechanism in Redmine for approvals and tracking of expenses, and will follow-up with details on this later on. Thanks again for all your work, and looking forward to your proposals!

Re: [libreoffice-projects] Reporting to Native Lang Projects lists
Hi, Jochen Schiffers wrote on 2015-07-07 at 15:07: my opinion to your proposal: in fact it is difficult to find someone who do this all the time (over the years). Therefore my proposal. maybe we can have a mixture - TDF staff speaks several languages, so think we can at least cover the French, Italian, German and maybe Brazilian and Portuguese communities (Italo IMHO speaks Portuguese), which would be a good start. For the other communities, at least forwarding the message in English can be done as well by TDF staff - if we want to have it localized (which would help greatly, for sure!) and a point of contact it the native language, we need volunteers capable of the specific language.

[libreoffice-projects] Publication of ledgers
Dear community, Dear members, we are glad to announce we have finally begun publishing our accounting ledgers to the general public. As part of our transparency and openness principles, TDF is committed to publishing its accounting ledgers on a regular basis from now on. Accounting is done by a professional accountant, and the resulting ledgers are slightly anonymized and translated. The style of the ledgers is defined by our tax/accounting requirements and changes are possible only on a very limited basis. However, TDF is happy to receive feedback and comments especially on the translations, so we can incorporate these in future ledger translations. So far, all ledgers from the previous quarter are online, April and May will follow very soon, most likely today or tomorrow. You can find them at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/Ledgers That being said, thank you very much for your ongoing support, your valuable contributions and your donations, which make TDF what it is today and contribute greatly to the ongoing success of the LibreOffice community! I'd like to also thank Sophie Gautier for her work on getting the translations in place - thank you very much, Sophie!

[libreoffice-projects] conference kit
Hello, one of the projects that's been around for a while is the production of a marketing/conference kit. For the US, Robinson has collected that (thanks so much for that!), see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/US/Box For Europe, Sophie is looking into getting such a box produced. However, the feedback so far is that there is no real need for a box to ship around. Rather, people have their hardware locally and we can produce swag/collaterals when required, which is considered easier than sending around a box in Europe. I understand that, as I also have a box from the German community here, and shipping around never worked out so well for me either. :-) Before we close this ticket, I wanted to reach out to the community again to hear if there is any need and what your thoughts are. The basic idea behind this budget item is to make organization of local events easier, but I appreciate the shipping and transportation problem. Let me know what you think - thanks!

Hello, I'd like to inform you that the German community has planned their annual meeting at Linuxhotel in Essen, from Friday, June 19 to Sunday, June 21 As the last years, we will meet and gather with the community, discuss about projects carried out in the past, and plan for the future. An agenda is yet to be written. Everyone is invited to join, of course, to get in touch with community members, and contribute to the success of LibreOffice. ;-) There's also a limited number of rooms available, but we have to book right now. So if you're sure you want to join already now, please let us know in time. Otherwise, there's a couple of other hotels available in Essen, and you can still join during the day. Note that most of the slots will be in German language, but of course English speakers are welcome as well - exchanging thoughts and ideas across countries is usually quite constructive!

[libreoffice-projects] infra analysis and status quo
Hello, the infra team has met to review the past issues, and would like to make its analysis public to the community: I. introduction We have three big servers running, called dauntless, excelsior and falco. The first two were put online in October, the last one in December. The planned platform was oVirt with Gluster, with CentOS as the base system. All servers are comparable in their hardware setup, with 256 GB of RAM, one internal and one external Gbit networking card, server-grade mainboard with IPMI, several HDDs, and 64 core CPU. All three hosts were connected internally via a Gbit link, with oVirt managing all of them, and Gluster being the underlying network file system. II. before going productive Extensive tests were carried out before going live with the platform. The concrete CentOS, oVirt and Gluster version used for production was tested twice, on separate and on the actual hardware, with the IPMI and BIOS versions used later; that included two desaster simulations, where one host was disconnected unannounced and oVirt behaved exactly as expected - running the VMs on the other host without interruption. When the platform was ready, to not endanger anything, first all non-critical VMs were migrated, i.e. mainly testing VMs where a downtime is not critical, but that still produce quite some load. Working exclusively with these was done over several weeks, with no problems detected. After that, several other VMs were migrated, including Gerrit, and the system worked fine for weeks with no I/O issues and no downtime. III. downtime before FOSDEM The first issues happened from Wednesday, January 28, around 1440 UTC, until Thursday, January 29, early morning. Falco was disconnected for up to a couple of minutes. The reason of this is still unclear. -> The infra team is looking for an oVirt expert who can help us parse the logs to better understand what has happened. At the same time, on an unrelated reason, a file system corruption on excelsior was discovered, which is a failure that has been in existence since January 5 already. -> The monitoring scripts, based on snmpd, claimed everything was ok. Scripts have already been enhanced to properly report the status. Each of the errors on their own, if detected in time, would have caused no downtime at all. With that, 2 our of 3 Gluster bricks were down, and the platform was stopped. (Gluster is comparable to RAID 5 here.) Gluster detected a possible split-brain situation, so a manual recovery was required. The actual start of the fix was not complicated, in comparison to other networking file systems, and could easily be handled, but the recovery took long due to the amount of data already on the platform and the internal Gbit connectivity. Depending on the VM, the downtime was between 3 and 18 hours. oVirt's database also had issues, which could however be fixed. In other words, the reason for most of the downtime was not finding a fix, but waiting for it to be completed. -> Situations like these can be less time-consuming with an (expensive) internal 10 Gbit connection, or with a (slower, but more redundant and cheaper) internal trunked/bonded x * 1 Gbit connection, which we will be looking into. -> Work in progress currently is an SMS monitoring system where we seek for volunteers to be included in the notification. SMS notification is to be sent out in case of severe issues and can be combined with Android tools like Alarmbox. -> In the meantime, we have also fine-tuned the alerts and thresholds to distinguish messages. All infra members including several volunteers were working jointly on getting the services back together. However, we experienced some issues with individual VMs, where it was unclear who is responsible for them, and where documentation was partially missing or outdated. It worked out in the end, however. -> Infra will enforce a policy for new and existing services. At least 2 responsible maintainers are required per service, including proper documentation. That will be announced with a fair deadline. Services not fulfilling those requirements will be moved from production to test. A concrete policy is still to be drafted with the public. On a side note, we discovered, although it has worked fine for months, and survived two desaster simulations, that oVirt does not support Gluster running on the internal interface, and the hosted engine and management on the external interface. This fact is undocumented in the oVirt documentation and was discovered by Alex during FOSDEM, when he attended an oVirt talk, where this was mentioned as a side-note. -> An option is to look into SAN solutions, which are not only faster, but also probably more reliable. We might have some supporting offer here that needs looking into. During FOSEM, Alex also got in touch with one oVirt and one Gluster developer. We also talked to
[libreoffice-projects] infra status update
Hello, I'd like to send a brief infra status update. The good news is, all productive VMs are back to normal We have moved, at least for the moment, to a stock Linux system with plain KVM virtualization, without any network file system or complex layer in between. Non-production and test-VMs will be migrated over the next days, some of them are already online again. The crashtest machine will be back in service soon as well, getting a dedicated machine. We will have two meetings with the infra team tomorrow and on Monday to further analyze the situation. Shortly after that, we will host an infra call, where everyone is invited, to recap the situation and talk about the further plans.

Re: [libreoffice-projects] Infra outage...
Hello, sorry, but we have a networking/routing problem that makes our services inaccessible at the moment. Please bear with us... a quick update: Systems are beginning to stabilize. An extremely big thank you to Alex, Alin, Cloph and Robert for their immediate availability and their support - I am *so* glad to have all of them on board. It's too early to see what the issue was. Right now it looks like an internal network connectivity issue. Gluster healed itself, and one host machine rebooted unexpectedly, which killed several VMs and the HostedEngine. The good news is, so to speak, is that the self-healing has worked, it just took a while, as in the end the systems came back without anything we actively did/could do. About consequences and lessons learned, infra will follow-up later, definitely some changes in our approach are due now.

Hello, unfortunately, shortly before Christmas, the VM that drives our website ran into troubles. As all other VMs and the platform per se are stable, chances are we hit some kernel bug wrt. virtualization. The problem has not been identified yet, but if the website becomes unreachable, we have to manually restart the VM. Sorry for those inconveninces, they come at a rather bad timing. Other VMs than the website are *not* affected (which makes debugging the issue even harder). In case the site is down, please send an e-mail to hostmas...@documentfoundation.org so one of us can act.

[libreoffice-projects] Outstanding refund requests and closing the books
Hello, if you have any outstanding expenses to be covered, which have already been approved by the budget authorizers or the board, please send in the requests to treasurer@ as soon as possible. General information on travel refunds are available at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/Policies/Refunding For any kind of refunds from TDF Berlin, please also be advised we need the originals of the receipts via snail mail by the end of the year (see address in the footer). This is to close our books and have our numbers prepared accurately, and I aim to have that done mostly in December.

Hello, Sophie wrote on 2014-10-07 at 14:26: The Annual Report has been translated into English, thanks to Sigrid, Rui, Hazel and Thorsten. It has been proof read but not by English native speakers (Robinson proof reads the 1st chapter however and thanks to him). thank you so much, everyone, for your great work on this, this is really fantastic and much appreciated! I know working through the text is quite tedious (so was writing it, rest assured :-) and even more glad I am it worked out. Please also, don't forget to feed the pad for the next 2014 report, Florian really needs your information: http://pad.documentfoundation.org/p/annualreport Indeed, we should start collecting material right now, to have the writing and translating a bit more relaxed for the next year.

[libreoffice-projects] Change your Freenode IRC password
Hello, based on http://blog.freenode.net/2014/09/server-issues-2/ I recommend everyone who has registered their nickname at Freenode to change their password as soon as possible.

[libreoffice-projects] feedback for extensions and templates website
Hello, having discussed the topic at the conference, I just wanted to remind everyone to give feedback for the extensions and templates website, as Andreas pointed out on http://www.mail-archive.com/website@global.libreoffice.org/msg13271.html TDF needs to make a decision whether to move forward with the current approach, or whether to choose a different one. Unless we hear violent objections and _concrete_ improvement proposals, we will run the site on Andreas' new development in the future (thanks so much for that!). So, if you have concerns and concrete items that can be improved, please raise them _now_. :-) Thanks, Florian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: projects+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.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.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hi, Sigrid Carrera schrieb am 2014-08-25 um 21:11: I've finished chapter 3 and uploaded it again to the wiki.

Hi Sigrid, Sigrid Carrera schrieb am 2014-08-01 um 23:31: I translated the 2 chapter of the annual report.

[libreoffice-projects] AskBot merge questions
Hello, good news, everyone! :-) I just received an e-mail from Evgeny, whom we have contracted for AskBot improvements, and it's now possible to merge questions. Here's what he writes: === "on questions there is a button "merge" when it's clicked, a modal menu opens where you enter question id, this loads preview of the target question once confirmed, merge occurs. Question bodies are spliced, also answers are spliced if one answer per user is allowed. This means that it will be required to edit the question body and possibly some answers. This editing is not part of the merging workflow and the admin will have to do this separately." === Let me know if this works and if you have questions. Thanks, and thanks especially to Evgeny!

[libreoffice-projects] admin weekend mid-July
Hello, I'm glad to announce that we found a date for the LibreOffice admin weekend, which is now scheduled from Friday, July 18 to Sunday, July 20 A location is still to be determined. Given most contributors so far live in southern Germany, it's probably most economical to host it in that area, but that's not set in stone yet, depending who else is interested to join. That being said, I'd like to emphasize that the admin weekend is not only for existing infra contributors, but also for interested volunteers who'd like to join. Location, agenda, wiki page and further details will be announced in time on the website list. Looking forward to hacking with you! :-) Florian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: projects+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.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.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
