Re: [DISCUSS] OpenOffice Track: ApacheCon Europe

As mentioned, I'd also be available to reviewing I missed the deadline for submitting my own presentation. As I'm less involved in AOO than before, okay; but I'd still be open to reviewing others' submissions. Louis On 12-08-13, at 18:42 , Andrea Pescetti wrote: > On 13/08/2012 Donald Harbis

Brian, I've been speaking on the issue. I continue to do so. I probably know something about it but can't guarantee that. I blog from time to time on the issue. http://ooo-speak.blogspot.com/ and http://www.luispo.com/ The facts: people are working on it. The issue is to have an ODF editor o

Unable to go to Apache Room Tuesday

Hi I cannot make the meeting this morning, Tuesday, at the Apache room here at Oscon. I have lots of regrets about this. I can relay to Matt (cc'd) a brief update of AOO(i) but I cannot make it myself. Argh, Louis

Re: questions about the "porting" project

2012-05-16 Thread Louis R Suárez-Potts
Dear Confused, My reply is long; short answer: Porting evolved, and there were those builds maintained by Sun for its clients and then there were those initiated and maintained by the community. Over time, the roster of Sun-maintained ports changed. I can give a bigger history of this—it's kind

UX, Inclusive Design, Fluid Project

2012-05-14 Thread Louis R Suárez-Potts
I used to be tangentially involved in the Fluid Project, which promotes "inclusive design," or designing, in this case, software that can work with all people, not just a few. Now that we are at the cusp of invention and are beginning debate and work on UX, I'd like to point the emerging group t

Re: OpenOffice.org

OpenOffice.org is by no means dead, though the old site--www.openoffice.org---is probably best remembered by the new, http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/ Soon(-ish), we will make it easier for users to find us. But we are issuing test builds, and so on. So, dead no, live yes. Louis On

Recognitions...

2011-12-22 Thread Louis R Suárez-Potts
One of the things we did (and so do many others) at Ye Olde OOo was to post interviews of contributors and then, as the wiki became more developed, developer pages. We encouraged project leads to give credit where it was due and to use the wikis, lists, whatever, for the purpose of recognition.

clarification on origin of Native Language Projects

2011-12-11 Thread Louis R Suárez-Potts
OT, more or less... I need to clarify the origin of the Native Language projects—and it's important to do this, as part of the point of them was to capture the spirit of autonomy that characterises Foss activity (you know, if you want something done right, do it yourself: one way of putting it

About the Former Native Language projects

2011-12-10 Thread Louis R Suárez-Potts
Regular readers of this list might recall discussions by Khirano, Rob and others about the fate of the Native Language projects in OOo. I'm not sure what the outcome was, and a quick browse of archives didn't really enlighten me, as it seems things were left hanging. I'd like to see if we can r
