Re: [DISCUSS] Do we want download links for Dev Builds on a usual webpage?
[top posting] I think the setup we ahve right now -- linking to the wiki that then links to developer areas (possibly) is fine. We might think about moving the developer editions to SourceForge but maybe an additional step we don't need. ok for this, see below...

We have two different kinds of builds, the OpenOffice builds and the OOo-Dev builds. See the note in red at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Development+Snapshot+Builds (they are also called with/without system integration respectively). OK, I see this note and I confess I don't pay much attention to it, and typically install in parallel for these. But, I keep the same user profile if you will, and this doesn't seem to cause problems for me. Right now this note says: This week's builds are built without system integration. Is the the normal? If it is, maybe we could just omit the explanations altogether so as not to confuse anyone. And as I understand it, snapshot build (which is also a kind of developer version) is made like an installation. The package layout does not change, but the idea is that an OOo-Dev build (and 350m1, the one at the URL above, is an OOo-Dev build) can be installed alongside an existing version of OpenOffice, so you can install it on your machine and keep running your stable OpenOffice together with it. This makes it ideal for testing. In the case of an OpenOffice build, you can still do the same, but it's a bit trickier, like needing to use setup /a on Windows (again, see the page and linked resources for all details).

Question ad FOSDEM 2013
So there is an AOO room on Saturday at FOSDEM 2013, https://fosdem.org. Is there any need for talks/presentations? If there is a need, what contents are needed and to whom should one send a proposal by when? ---rony

Sure, and proposals from you and others will be most welcome. But we still have several weeks available, and we are trying to avoid overlap with the current track discussions for ApacheCon North America (talk submission due by today-tomorrow depending on timezone). Next week FOSDEM will be back in the spotlight and we will discuss all available opportunities. Stay tuned on ooo-dev! Regards, Andrea.

Nobody will suffer too much if we start focusing (again) on FOSDEM in 24 hours and give ApacheCon NA the spotlight in the meantime. Can you please spend a few words on what the correct procedure is ? I'll give all details in an appropriate thread, which I'll create in 24 hours. We are going to have some nice and long discussions there, so I definitely prefer to get it right from the start.

Re: Question ad FOSDEM 2013
Sorry it was not my intention to put my foot down on the wrong place, I forgot to write the 24 hour is no delay in my opinion, and very sensible !! Sorry, for my wording, but I am not an english native. I was just confused. I look forward to your opening of a new discussion. And to put it in open, I have no intention of perusing the right to speak at FOSDEM, everybody else is more qualified that I am , So I will step down if anybody takes the handle, but I think FOSDEM is very important for AOO (in 24 hours). Sorry for having said the right thing at the wrong time, you have my full support. Jan.

[Templates site]Cannot register
An user on the ES mailing list have problems registering on the Templates site, so I tried the process... and failed as well. After filling the fields on the registering page(1) nothing arrived to my mailbox. Then, I selected the ask for a new password (Solicitar nueva contraseña) option and nothing happened: no mail to my mailbox. If I try to register again using the same username and/or email the system tell me that the user already exists and suggest me to ask for a new password... process that do not work. I never was offered to set a first password so the registration is completely locked. Any idea where the problem is? (1) http://templates.openoffice.org/es/user/register Regards Ricardo
Re: [Templates site]Cannot register

Re: [User Docs] What do we as a community want for user documentation or AOO
2012/9/20 RGB ES rgb.m...@gmail.com 2012/9/16 Keith N. McKenna keith.mcke...@comcast.net Greetings All; In order to stimulate some discussion on user documentation I have added the hollowing page to the User Documentation Plan on the Plannig Wiki: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/User+Guides+Revisted. It offers 3 scenarios or the creation of the docs. I believe that we can no longer put this issue aside. I added a child page were I think aloud about scenario 3 and start the discussion about how to organize the documentation if we decide to build our own https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Details+on+Scenario+3 Regards Ricardo Since some weeks there is an ongoing effort on the ES wiki to organize the basic documentation for AOO.(1) I experimented with the distribution of different arguments and arrived to a configuration that I find interesting. This distribution is different from usual user documentation in the sense that it is highly cross referenced: The first chapter try to give a general description of AOO as a whole, without entering on the details of each specific app while the following chapters reference to the first one as much as possible. After that, each chapter clearly separate direct formatting from styles but trying to not explain same things twice: configuring a numbered list indent is the same when doing direct formatting or modifying a list style, so... more cross referencing. Based on this (not completed yet) experience I added a proposed TOC to the Details on Scenario 3 page. Only chapters 1 and 2 are really detailed, but the idea is to give to the Calc, Impress and Draw chapters a structure similar to the one used on Writer's chapter.

Re: a german speaking Flyer

I do not understand the special review of Linux. The flyer is e.g. also talk of Windows and that is, in detail, just as wrong, for example, AOO does not run on Windows 95. I think everyone can information about any free software. He can do that in a community, he can do that privately. In the flyer, no one has had the intention to speak for Apache, but a few people on their own initiative made a flyer in doubt, reflects their opinion. Neither we informiert deliberately false nor have weir rights of AOO violated because there are labeling as TM as well as a statement of the rights to the logos. *We have made the Flyer under a free license available, that anyone can do about it what he does not like, or what he thinks is factually incorrect.* But please: none of us here has done anything wrong, said or intended. We are a few people who have done on their own initiative a flyer that we provide expressly for information only and not as an official flyer from Apache. Greetings, Jörg
