Opensource and security
Hi all, A little off topic perhaps, for this list, but perhaps also a frequent question to which it could be nice to have some answers. An opensource sofware has the advantage, in security terms, to grant that there are no spyware in it, that's OK. But is there no danger, as the code is public, to facilitate the creation of virus. It's always a problem for me to answer to this kind of question, it's unclear for me. So, If somebody could bring some arguments understandable for end users about this issue, It would be great. The same could be applicable to the ODF, what are the advantages, in terms of security, to work with an open format. Many thanks A+ -- gw

Is it not possible to run ./configure so that I can have everything in 1 tree, meaning when I change a source, its available to all platforms ? I haven't tried it for a long time but I assume it worked if you the configure again and again on the different platforms and use the generated env scripts (e.g. MacOSXX86Env.Set.sh, ...). On Linux you potentially run into a name conflict but you can copy the scripts before calling configure on the next Linux platform. Just try it out. I did try it, that why I ask others :-) the .sh files is not the biggest problem, unxlngx6.pro directory is my biggest problem because configure/bootstrap generates several files, which seems to want to be in unxlngx6.pro. I think I miss a configure switch to set the object directory. yes that seems to be a real problem on Linux. Sharing between Linux systems seems to be not possible at the moment. unxlngx6 or unxlngi6 is the only difference between 32 and 64 bit. You can play with OUTPATH=unxmacxi INPATH=unxmacxi.pro in the env script and change it for your different linux systems and adapt the generated dirs as well. But I assume that it is not easy possible because of many hard coded usages all over the build scripts and config files. Juergen rgds jan I.

We should be more open to delete outdated content and simply drop it. We have too many outdated pages that help nobody and are more confusing than useful. The point is when a user queries Google for terms like OpenOffice for Mac that is the #1 page on the results list. Users do this and visit that page around 4000 times per day. If we merely deleted that page then these 4000 people would get a 404 error. After a period of time, probably a few weeks, Google would update their index and another page would be the #1 search result and get that traffic. The #2 link is a CNet page, so the traffic would probably go there and not to our website. If we redirect to a generic page, like our home page, then we get no 404 error. But as Google updates its index it would see that the redirected page is not really relevant to the query OpenOffice for Mac and would reorder its results so the traffic would still point to CNet. The only way to preserve this traffic is to have a relevant page about OpenOffice for Mac. It doesn't need to be complicated. But it needs to have enough discussion about using OpenOffice on the Mac to look relevant to Google and Bing.

So my first question is - what does a MAC page have to do here. MAC is a supported platform, not third party ? - why does the porting page not have a link to the mac page ? The Mac version used to be a port (you can still find outdated information around, with the name Aqua Port), but it has been a fully supported version since 3.0.0 or around. Yes, OOo 3.0 was our first version with Mac as fully supported platform. So the porting page does not link to it since it's not a port. And the URL is... well, historical, but I wouldn't oppose to move it outside porting/ if we can setup redirects that won't break search engines. +1 for just redirecting to our download page. a redirect will work but who will miss the page? We should be more open to delete outdated content and simply drop it. We have too many outdated pages that help nobody and are more confusing than useful. The point is when a user queries Google for terms like OpenOffice for Mac that is the #1 page on the results list. Users do this and visit that page around 4000 times per day. If we merely deleted that page then these 4000 people would get a 404 error. After a period of time, probably a few weeks, Google would update their index and another page would be the #1 search result and get that traffic. The #2 link is a CNet page, so the traffic would probably go there and not to our website. If we redirect to a generic page, like our home page, then we get no 404 error. But as Google updates its index it would see that the redirected page is not really relevant to the query OpenOffice for Mac and would reorder its results so the traffic would still point to CNet. The only way to preserve this traffic is to have a relevant page about OpenOffice for Mac. It doesn't need to be complicated. But it needs to have enough discussion about using OpenOffice on the Mac to look relevant to Google and Bing. I suggested such a page in the past, even outlined it, but no Mac volunteers ever completed it: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/content/product/mac.mdtext Regards, -Rob I don't recall anything about this particular topic in the past but it seems your new information could be just popped into the /porting/mac index page with a nice little top note that says something like ...

Re: Reopening the Vietnamese Forum
Hi Guys, Well, the spam had been removed before it was locked, so that should not be a problem. The existing user accounts - those could be disabled, yes of course. So - I understand there is a new person to act as the admin and that is the reason for the re-opening, which I think is great BTW. I take it from the earlier email that the new admin still needed to setup their account on the en forum...or not, I don't know really - kind of a problem having me in this loop, as I have no internet access on a regular basis and as you can see am not able to get connected every day. Anyhow - I just jumped over there and logged in - yup my account still works - but imacat has all the same access rights. Which brings me to my account - honestly it is not a good idea to leave an admin account laying around unused like that - I had expected imacat to delete it. I'm saying that purely from a good practices stand point. Here we are though. I'll be on-line a few times this week and if this needs doing (delete old accounts, etc) certainly I'll help with that - afterwards, given my circumstances it does not make a lot of sense to leave the account laying around dormant, as I already said :). *laughing* just give me marching orders and I'll carry them out //drew On Mon, Oct 7, 2013 at 3:47 PM, janI j...@apache.org wrote: On 7 October 2013 20:55, Hagar Delest hagar.del...@laposte.net wrote: Le 07/10/2013 19:22, janI a écrit : Before reopening, the user base should be cleaned (preferable deleted), and all spam pages should be removed.

[Have cc'd Roberto as I'm not sure what the mailing list will do to that style attachment I also re-did the wallpapers, again so they where of appropriate quality.

The best example I think are the new wallpaper designs (which I think will also make for great opening screen on the next video, back to do the 4.0 release notes finally) and the second page on the print piece ThreeUP-GI. well I still don't seem to be able to edit cwiki - I saw someone else mention it yesterday, so I'll be patient and keep using google for today.

Let me know though if I can help with that, OK. Do you already have a blog account? If not, start a new thread and propose yourself as an editor, to get lazy consensus. Then you can open a ticket with Infra per these instructions: http://www.apache.org/dev/infra-contact#what-we-need-to-know Then we can give you editor rights to the blog. As for the photos, I'm not sure I had any deep thoughts here. The fact that they are vintage photos was primarily a result of seeking interesting, fun, relevant, public domain images that could be used on the blog. So that led to Flickr Commons which aggregates such imagery from various national archives and libraries. But I'm open to other ideas.
