Hello, to close the books, as we say in Germany, I have just arranged payments for all outstanding travel requests from 2012 which I had on the treasurer@ list. If there are no further requests, we can close the respective budgets soon. The good news is, we spent a lot less for the Hackfest

Thanks for the link Dennis, great start. I digged further into it and found that CMIS v1.1 was recently released (0). I also found that there was a presentation about LO/CMIS during LibOCon2012 (1)(2) And there's a good explanation with screenshots for integration with Alfresco (3) So far, what

2012-12-31 Thread Immanuel Giulea
Hello all, In the marketing materials that I am writing covering LO vs AOO, I was wondering if it would be relevant to go into an explanation about why the GPL/LGPL licence used by LO was superior to the ASL as a true open source. I found this great document that explains the three most common

That is completely incorrect, no matter how many folks keep saying it. Put simply: using the LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice distributions does not raise any practical limitations on most personal use as well as use by individuals in their business or institutional activities. - Dennis PS:

I understand that differences between licences are technical and seem trivial to end-users. So if not the licences, how is LO different from AOO? In terms that end-users can understand. Immanuel On Dec 31, 2012 8:29 PM, Dennis E. Hamilton dennis.hamil...@acm.org wrote: That is completely
