I've burned three cds - the Free Mandriva 2k8 - so I can verify the cdburning 
part works - I used GnomeBaker, as K3B didn't seem to want to burn isos, 
though I might've been ignorant of some finer point or other ... ;)

My attempt to copy a DVD failed because the DVD I had was already coaster 
material, so I can't say yea or nay on the DVD aspect.

Please bring your own cds or DVDs, as I don't have the key for the office, 
where the cds are kept.

Re: Meta - Spam vs Ham in Job postings on Cantlug?

2007-11-11 Thread Christopher Sawtell
In principle I have no problems.

However I am somewhat apprehensive that, by your definition of the
AUP, the list could become both a 'Tenderers Gazette' for small jobs,
and also a haven for H.R. consultants trying to locate operators who
could use products such as Open Office. Frankly, I don't fancy having
to wade through dozens of either type of posting. Or, for that matter,
dozens of 'Work Wanted - I can type using OOo' pleading adverts.

Difficult to know how to draw the line.

Meta - Spam vs Ham in Job postings on Cantlug?

2007-11-11 Thread John Carter

Given the new anti-spam laws I thought it might be Good to clear this
up properly.

Personally, given the very small and fluctuating IT job market in Canterbury, I
am in favour employers and employees posting appropriate Job ad / Job
requests on this list.

By Appropriate I mean Very Strictly "Job In Canterbury" and "Using Linux".

It would be nice to see a definitive comment in...
  http://clug.net.nz/index.php/EmailListFAQ
or
  http://clug.net.nz/index.php/EmailListMonthlyMail
(which seems to be broken now...)

Grey areas that may need clarification might be

 "(Canterbury|willing to move to Canterbury|telecommute) person
  (wanted for|looking for) a job (in Canterbury|NZ|anywhere) doing
  (linux|writing foss|using foss|anything)"

Personally I would favour
 "(Canterbury|willing to move to Canterbury) person
  (wanted for|looking for) a job in Canterbury doing
  (writing|using) foss."

Comments?

Netbeans and Openoffice.org

2007-11-11 Thread Kerry Mayes
Has anyone used netbeans with openoffice.org sdk?

I'm using ubuntu gutsy and installed both packages from the
repositories and set up netbeans to find the openoffice extensions.

I was following the instructions here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice_NetBeans_Integration

It all seemed to install fine, but when I go to create a openoffice
addin I get the error:

While executing an SDK Command, the following error happened:
/usr/lib/openoffice/sdk/linux/bin/uno-skeletonmaker: 4: basename: not found
/usr/lib/openoffice/sdk/linux/bin/skeletonmaker: 4:
/usr/lib/openoffice/sdk/liniux/bin/.bin: not found

I'm wanting to start writing openoffice macros and thought I might as
well start off properly using java rather than with some poxy basic
language!

I have downloaded the Mandriva 2008.0 i586 DVD iso and will bring it on my 
laptop for adding to the archive and burning discs for those that want it.

2007-11-11 Thread Christopher Sawtell
Greetings to CLUGgers,

  The November meeting is tomorrow Tuesday 13 November 2007.

   Brett Davidson will be continuing his exposition on setting up the
Apache Web Server.

   I belive he is going to be talking about how to set it up the PHP
scripting language to interface to databases. ( Brett: You may wish to
expandthat bald sentence )

   The Distro Archive is now more or less functional. If you want a CD
or DVD just ask.

   A light supper will be served consisting of Tea or Instant Coffee
and a Biscuit will be served during the course of the evening.

   Future Meetings:-

   The December Meeting slot is still open for a willing speaker, or
we could enjoy an evening in a suitable public house such as the
Twisted Hop in Poplar Street.

   No Meeting in January. Most folks are away.

   Last but not least:- There has to be a $2.00 minimum entrance fee
to pay for the hire of the hall and supper.

-- 
Sincerely etc.
