RE: Problems seeing ApacheCon EU banner in home page bottom left corner.
On Internet Explorer 11 and Windows 8.1, I see it just fine. With all manner of window resizing, I could not make any of the footer images disappear. The source of the page is fun to read. I didn't dig out the CSS sheet, but I wonder if there needs to be more explicit positioning information among the three divs within the footer div.

Re: Forward planning for OO 5.0
Here are some of my suggestions: 1) Add a 64-bit version for Windows 2) Add the extension LanguageTool to the package so that people have access to grammar checking 3) Images resize in the edges should proportionally resize images without the need of pressing CAPS (more user friendly) 4) When pasting text it should appear a radio button like in M$ Office to select the type of paste (plain text, merge, etc). 5) Allow more than one language in the UI, for example, pt_PT pre and post reform.

What do you all think? Marcus On both of these, what I see is that the notice is being partially covered by the blue navigation areas. Generally, I think this notice would be better on the home page than other pages. Any chance we could relocate this to the bottom area maybe between the W3C button and the end of the right side navigation element? I wanted to bring the attention to the top - away from the bottom. I'm just wondering if the top is too busy already for this addition. Sure, it would be possible to put it there. Do you still see an advantage to have it a few pixels higher than instead of leaving it in the footer? I would need to see both versions before I could answer this I think. :/ Also, maybe see (random, I didn't look at all sites): http://libcloud.apache.org/ http://maven.apache.org/ http://ofbiz.apache.org/ for additional placement ideas.

We could accommodate it in the footer, to the left. I tried all the options discussed, but it didn't fit at all in the header or in the download page (which in turn is already complex enough). So I implemented the above solution, and you'll see it in the site footer. If anyone can do better, just improve it, no problem. But it's important to have ApacheCon visible. the footer is actually looking good and the graphic fits pretty well (size and layout). However, it's on the bottom and for such temporary and visibility-needed things not the best location. Therefore I've created 2 test webpapges: http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/index_asfcon.html http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/index_asfcon.html Simple layout but it could be aligned more to the general page design. What do you all think? Marcus On both of these, what I see is that the notice is being partially covered by the blue navigation areas. Generally, I think this notice would be better on the home page than other pages. Any chance we could relocate this to the bottom area maybe between the W3C button and the end of the right side navigation element? I wanted to bring the attention to the top - away from the bottom. I'm just wondering if the top is too busy already for this addition. Sure, it would be possible to put it there. Do you still see an advantage to have it a few pixels higher than instead of leaving it in the footer? I would need to see both versions before I could answer this I think. :/ Also, maybe see (random, I didn't look at all sites): http://libcloud.apache.org/ http://maven.apache.org/ http://ofbiz.apache.org/ for additional placement ideas. I am liking the News column idea of OFBiz actually.

Re: Forward planning for OO 5.0
There are two big fronts where there has been no change in AOO for a good while and would be rather simple and quite significant if some developers can put behind it. Presentations: 2 big problems with presentation: - We still do it like it's 1993 - We still do it like it's 1963 We still trying to do webcasts in scripting language like Perl, and ASP, really? ASP? We still get ourself infront of a crowd and project into a opaque screen in an age when everyone have multiple bright high resolution HD displays in their pocket or their laps. We really need to step up in the area of webcasting. For a simple script that uses a template, we could do much better if we can update our languages to something more modern like PHP, (yes as modern as 2001). And maybe make up for the lost time and implement Node.js. Updating the webcast wizard and the languages is something that a developer with enough experience could do in a weekend, and somebody with more time could actually make it even better. Here is when both ideas can merge. Why can't we use a small embeded server (like the python's SimpleHTTPServer from the PyUNO Standard Library included in any AOO copy). And use some GUI mechanism to broadcast our presentation over the LAN. That way we can just put the URL into our projection and people (in the back) can 'connect' to our LAN broadcast and see it like if they were right upfront. This seems like a hack, but also very useful to do if you are used to doing live conferences. If you want to go beyond this idea, I encourage people to think on what can we do on our part to make web deployment of presentations easier. Think pre-recorded presentations like what Slideshare do (check image): http://www.dalebasler.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/slidecast.jpg Transforming impress into an authoring program might be a bit disruptive, but it's certainly useful to have a single audio recording that allow us to map our slides to the timeline of the audio in order to generate a self-containing file that could be the closest to a youtube presentation.

Re: Problem building AOO
Thanks Guys. I've finally built successfully. Please whats the next step from here? Thanks again.

I had a different problem but related to the toolkit module. Since my system complained about it, I increased the partition size, where the source is, to 40GB; and built with the default compiler g++, gcc 4.8.2 in Ubuntu 14.04, the first module that was built was toolkit. Increasing the disk space could solve this problem. Moreover, many have got successful builds in Ubuntu 12.04, so it may not be an issue. Thanks, Amali.

OpenOffice compiles cleanly on Ubuntu 12.04, even our Linux buildbots at http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/index.htmlprobably run on Ubuntu 12.04. gcc 4.8 should be fine anyway, and build should also work on the newer Ubuntu 14.04 (with gcc 4.8) since Amali fixed it. 1 module(s): toolkit need(s) to be rebuilt Let's see if it is a permanent error or just an issue related to abruptly stopping the build, or out of disk space (I've seen similar errors from time to time). For a very quick and brutal test, try removing (or renaming) this directory: solver/420/unxlngx6.pro/workdir/CxxObject/toolkit and then go again through the configure, bootstrap, source, build --all steps. If you still see the problem, please post the exact syntax of your ./configure command: I and others have Ubuntu 12.04 virtual machines and can see if problem is reproducible.
