Right now I have the DL friendly script setup to only use
SF...which is
setup in the old way. I don't think we'll be usign Apache for
pre-build
client downloads.

So, I have a question -- who will be setting up the SF packs
and will
they
just stick with the current structure on that system for DLs --

i.e.

root/files/stable/version/
pack name

and

root/files/localized/language/version/pack name

I'm hoping the answer is YES.


Whatever we do, let's try to get a directory schem that works
now and
for AOO 3.4.1 and AOO 3.5 and for AOO 4.0, etc.. �This is not
something where it will be easier to clean up later.





Honestly spoken, I don't know if this will work.

Of course it could be easy and fast to think about a directory
structure
that will work also for a AOO 5.0 release.

However, I doubt that we will have the time to make the DL logic
work this
way, too.

As I've no idea how close we are from the first public download of
AOO 3.4 I
wouldn't do bigger changes now.



Thinking ahead, what do we do when we have a new release, like a
3.4.1? �And what can we do now to make that future less painful?





The DL logic for 3.4.1 can be the same as for 3.4.0. There shouldn't
be big
changes. For further releases see above.

Juergen is already OK to setup the structure like it was in the old
project,
so that the need changes to the DL logic is minimal.




It seems the easiest way to go to me too.

Roberto


OK, I need some clarification here -- again.

I am to understand by the above statements by Marcus and Roberto that
the directory structure for 3.4 will be the same as it is for 3.3,
but


we will have a *different* structure on www.apache.org/dist? Also, OK,
we just need some awareness.

So -- can someone tell me what's what here.


I am currently also confused. I would still prefer my proposed
structure
in the beginning of this thread if it is possible.

That would allow us to easy add further platforms and keep the bits a
little bit separated. Think about 100 languages and 5 files (including
the checksum files) for each downloadable file.




Maybe it will look more clean but thats not important. Normally the
average user should not be pointed to a mirror to find her/his favorite
file. For this we have the user-friendly and one-click-download
webpages.

For the former OOo release the structure was very good and also scalable
for new releases and languages. And it is much easier to upload
everything into a flat structure.




I can't really see a flat structure in the old directory tree. One
directory for each language etc.


OK, maybe it was not the right wording and my thinking not correct.

So, your idea is the following:

root path/ooo/version/source/...
root path/ooo/version/platform/...
root path/ooo/version/platform/languagepacks/...

It seems there is not other ASF project with releases for specific
platforms *and* languages (otherwise please point me to the project), so
maybe we can stick with this and divide only into platform-specifc
directories.

Maybe we can agree on the following structure for a AOO 3.5 release?

root path/dist/incubator/ooo/version/src/...
root path/dist/incubator/ooo/version/bin/platform/...



why should we add a further indirection bin here? Keep it simple! 
Either we split in different platform directories or we can use one for 
all but not both.


We will discuss the future structure in  new thread asap to have enough 
time to adapt the scripts.


Juergen



If necessary we can provide additional files as subdirs inside the
version/ directory (e.g., documentation in docs/, hotfixes in
patches/, etc.).

And new releases as Beta or RC can be uploaded into a new and own
version/ subdirectory.

BTW:
The checksum files are created for every file and checksum format
separately, right? Do we have to store them together with the respective
files? Or is it allowed to store them in a separate directory?


To have every version, platform and
language in its own directory is much more complicated to handle in the
DL scripts.




My proposed structure used the version as start directory and than
only split the platforms and the language packs but that can be
dropped if it makes things easier. Then we would have a very flat
structure.


I would prefer to have them together with the full builds.


I really don't see here a technical problem to put the already
collected items (platform, lang, version, mirror...) in the right
order to prepare a download url.


There is indeed no technical problem. It's

[RELEASE][CODE]: new tag AOO340 and new branch AOO34

we know the revision on which the vote took place and I have created

We can of course tag each RC but I would create the final branch only

I like the page. The items are already sorted so the ones with the best 
benefit to effort ratio come first.


Using ICU more is a worthwhile goal, especially as the project used to 
have problems with taking advantage of newer ICU versions. Integrating 
more tightly with ICU should eliminate these problems and we'll be able 
to automatically leverage its progress.

Re: What do we need to do in BZ after AOO 3.4 is released?

2012-05-02 Thread Herbert Duerr

Today, among the 100 version strings the users need to scroll through
in BZ, we have AOO340-dev.

What do we want after we release AOO 3.4?

Add AOO340?  (Or just rename AOO340-dev to AOO340?)

Add AOO341-dev?

Add AOO450-dev?


The versions are for reporting issues against, so bugs reported from end 
users will usually be against officially released versions such as AOO340.


With only one issue reported against AOO340-dev and that one bug still 
being a problem in AOO340 just renaming the old version AOO340-dev to 
AOO340 should fine. I took the liberty to do just that.


Having bugs filed against official releases makes reproducing a problem 
easier because the binaries are easily available and widely used.


I suggest that versions such as AOO350-dev should only be used to report 
problems that don't happen on released versions, e.g. if it is a 
regression or if it involves a new feature. This also means that we 
shouldn't add versions such as AOO341-dev to bugzilla as micro releases 
are only to fix problems in the released product and they are by 
definition reproducible in the released version.


I sincerely hope that we can update to bugzilla =4.2 soon which has the 
major new feature that obsolete versions can be marked as such.



Also, are there any products that can be removed or demoted to
components under another product?   What we have now is simpler than
what we had with OOo, but it is still very complicated with a lot of
dead wood at the top level.


I like Regina's suggestions.

Yeah!  We have an AOO 3.4 Release.

Many, many people on this project have put a lot of work into this
release, and they all are owed a round of thanks, but I'd like to make
special note of the contribution that Juergen has made as Release
Manager for our first Apache release.

This was a huge learning task, to understand the various Apache

Universal Network Objects - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2012-05-02 Thread Louis Suárez-Potts
I was cruising through the Wikipedia pages on OO technology and was
struck by the claim on the page below [0] that UNO is licensed under
the LGPL. I know it used to be, but now? Perhaps that page ought to be
updated, anyway, to reflect Apache OpenOffice's work. (It also raises
the interesting question: which organization is now primarily
responsible for maintaining UNO?)

OpenOffice.org Developer's Guide - Apache OpenOffice.org Wiki

Further reviewing….

This page [0]. the OpenOffice.org Developer's Guide, was last updated
in Aug. 2010. It's out of date, though the actual substantial
elements--how to develop OO code--are probably still relevant.

However, the page (and its brethren) raise the obvious questions.

1. Can we continue to use this page for AOO? And...

2…If this has been already raised, let's move on and just update the
page with new identifiers and links pointing to AOO?

There is none - but you are welcome to create a PPA for same if you
would like.

 2. The list of what order to install all these deb packages.

No order is required that I know of - just dpkg -i *.deb works just fine
for me - well, I do install the desktop integration pieces after
installing the main application, but even that could I think be done in
a single command, I just don't.

Without knowing exactlky which file(s) you have downloaded, it is difficult to 
give precise instructions, but the normal procedure is to unpack the large 
download file (circa 140 MB), change to the DEBS directory and there to 
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
then
cd desktop-integration
and once again 
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
This last step sets up the links in the Office menu.

While we're all thrilled about this, I have to ask us to keep this
information to ourselves until we formally announce next week. To
prematurely announce this publicy will be unhelpful to our overall goals of
managing the user experience for downloading and equally important the
extent to which we can look forward to positive news coverage.

That said, I am very excited and thrilled that we have achieved this

+1 (it is not common)


and it was a little bit surprising ;-) But i think we have listened and 
have incorporate feedback early and careful. And we will continue to 
improve our work here as a healthy project and a vibrant community.


My special role as a release manger was only a tiny piece (and nothing 
special) of the overall work we as a *community* have achieved with this 
first release. I could list many names and I am sure I would forget 
some. So I would like to say thank you to all who helped in the last 
month to bring our first release on the road.


I will list only some key areas where we have achieved a lot:
- migration of the website, the wiki, the user forum, the extensions and 
template repository, bugzilla
- setting up new internal wiki at Apache, new pootle server, new project 
web page

- IP cleanup of the code
- setting up build bots
- preparing regular dev snapshots and final RC
- great QA work
- archiving older releases and not yet integrated cws
- establishing a powerful mirror network with new partners
- work on documentation to reflect the new name and latest changes
- ...

The release is only the successful crowning end of a huge huge effort 
and a lot of work to migrate everything from Oracle infra-structure to 
Apache and partners.


We all know that it was not only the source code that was migrated/moved 
but much more and especially the way how we improved over time our 
collaboration on different tasks makes me very proud and I am really 
looking forward to continue this work with all of you.


We have strong characters in the project with different communication 
styles but I think we should always look twice what individuals are 
really doing here in the project and for the project before we 
adjudicate on somebody.


And about statements like the major part of the community have moved 
to... can I only laugh out loud. I felt myself always as part of the 
OOo community and I never have moved to somewhere else ;-) (sorry I 
couldn't resist)


Thanks to all of you

[DL] need help with a very odd problem on new main DL page...

2012-05-02 Thread Kay Schenk
Something very odd is happening with my testing of the new main DL page at:

http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/index_new_dl.html

and I hope a new set of eyes or braincells or something can help.

If you bring up the source of the page you'll see this bit of JS code:

--
//alert (hasMirroLink:  + hasMirrorLink() );
  if ( hasMirrorLink() ) {
document.write( h2 + myURLlink+ Download Apache OpenOffice  +
VERSION + /a/h2
+ p + myURLlink + Click to start downloading the most recent
version for 
+ getPlatform(SCHEMA) +  and  + getLanguage() + .
+ br//p );
  } else {
  !-- dump SF extension --
  alert(link before replacment:  + LINK);
  var newLINK = LINK.replace(/\/download$/,);
  alert (link after replacment:  + newLINK);
  !-- route everybody to somplace else ??? --
document.write( h2a href=' + newLINK + ' title=' + newLINK +
'Download Apache OpenOffice/a/h2
+ pa href=' + newLINK + ' title=' + newLINK + 'Get Apache
OpenOffice for  + getLanguage()
+  from a Native Language community area./a/p );
  }
-

all is fine when a mirror link is found. However, when one is NOT found
here is what is happening to me (I tested with a Solaris UA setup, a
platform we are no longer supporting which ended up here):

* I get the first alert showing me a proposed downlosd link, which, due
to the former code, generates:
http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html/download

the trailing /download is appended for SourceForce requirement...

* the edit to ditch the trailing /download seems to work and I now
see: http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html

in second alert.

* when I put my mouse OVER the now generated links, I SEE
http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html, and this is what shows up
in my message area of Firefox.

But, when I click on the link, I get bounced over to:
http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html/download

which is of course erroneous...and I get a 404.

Any ideas on this at all??? I'm at wits end.

I am really trying to get this setup so no one gets thrown over a cliff
under any circumstance and this is a puzzle I can't seem to solve.


Thanks for any help on this. I'm off to some appointments and I'll check
back later...

Hi Wolf

That would be excellent, IMO. That said just a reminder, I think this is
a great idea, that doesn't mean everyone else does.

BTW are you familiar with the steps required to open a PPA?

Also, a PPA can be opened by an individual or a team, perhaps it would
best to see if there is anyone else here that would be interested in
working with you on this, IMO, having more then one person, from the
main project, working on this would be a pretty good idea.

Anyway - let us know how we can help you with this.

Release Notes: missing screenshots

2012-05-02 Thread Andrea Pescetti
Paolo is now coordinating volunteers that are translating the Release 
Notes into Italian, and while quickly reviewing the original document

https://cwiki.apache.org/OOOUSERS/aoo-34-incubating-release-candidate.html
I have the impression that some paragraphs would be much clearer with a 
screenshot or a sample document. For example, does anyone have more 
information on the following items?


- Further development/bug fixes for DOCX import filter
(a sample DOCX to test, or a screenshot showing the progress in import 
would be very useful)


- Enhanced chart visualization
(is this backend only or user-visible? if it's the latter, is there an 
ODF available to test?)


- Formula: Automatic baseline for Math objects
(while it is well explained, again having a sample ODF file or 
screenshots would help, since Math isn't the most popular module)


Thanks,
  Andrea.


Would there be any interest in starting a AOO Group on Launchpad

I was about to commit the AOO code to a PPA for myself, but as Drew
mentioned, it might be a lot more fun if we started a little team to set up
a repo for Ubuntu for the new RC.  Would you like to play?  I am good at
thrashing things out (even reading the fine manual at times) but I have
never set up a PPA before.  I have come as far as making a test PPA but I
haven't added any files.

 Without knowing exactlky which file(s) you have downloaded, it is
 difficult to give precise instructions, but the normal procedure is to
 unpack the large download file (circa 140 MB), change to the DEBS directory
 and there to
 sudo dpkg -i *.deb
 then
 cd desktop-integration
 and once again
 sudo dpkg -i *.deb
 This last step sets up the links in the Office menu.

Right now I have the DL friendly script setup to only use
SF...which is
setup in the old way. I don't think we'll be usign Apache for
pre-build
client downloads.

So, I have a question -- who will be setting up the SF packs
and will
they
just stick with the current structure on that system for DLs --

i.e.

root/files/stable/version/
pack name

and

root/files/localized/language/version/pack name

I'm hoping the answer is YES.


Whatever we do, let's try to get a directory schem that works
now and
for AOO 3.4.1 and AOO 3.5 and for AOO 4.0, etc.. �This is not
something where it will be easier to clean up later.





Honestly spoken, I don't know if this will work.

Of course it could be easy and fast to think about a directory
structure
that will work also for a AOO 5.0 release.

However, I doubt that we will have the time to make the DL logic
work this
way, too.

As I've no idea how close we are from the first public download of
AOO 3.4 I
wouldn't do bigger changes now.



Thinking ahead, what do we do when we have a new release, like a
3.4.1? �And what can we do now to make that future less painful?





The DL logic for 3.4.1 can be the same as for 3.4.0. There
shouldn't
be big
changes. For further releases see above.

Juergen is already OK to setup the structure like it was in the old
project,
so that the need changes to the DL logic is minimal.




It seems the easiest way to go to me too.

Roberto


OK, I need some clarification here -- again.

I am to understand by the above statements by Marcus and Roberto that
the directory structure for 3.4 will be the same as it is for 3.3,
but


we will have a *different* structure on www.apache.org/dist? Also,
OK,
we just need some awareness.

So -- can someone tell me what's what here.


I am currently also confused. I would still prefer my proposed
structure
in the beginning of this thread if it is possible.

That would allow us to easy add further platforms and keep the bits a
little bit separated. Think about 100 languages and 5 files (including
the checksum files) for each downloadable file.




Maybe it will look more clean but thats not important. Normally the
average user should not be pointed to a mirror to find her/his favorite
file. For this we have the user-friendly and one-click-download
webpages.

For the former OOo release the structure was very good and also
scalable
for new releases and languages. And it is much easier to upload
everything into a flat structure.




I can't really see a flat structure in the old directory tree. One
directory for each language etc.


OK, maybe it was not the right wording and my thinking not correct.

So, your idea is the following:

root path/ooo/version/source/...
root path/ooo/version/platform/...
root path/ooo/version/platform/languagepacks/...

It seems there is not other ASF project with releases for specific
platforms *and* languages (otherwise please point me to the project), so
maybe we can stick with this and divide only into platform-specifc
directories.

Maybe we can agree on the following structure for a AOO 3.5 release?

root path/dist/incubator/ooo/version/src/...
root path/dist/incubator/ooo/version/bin/platform/...



why should we add a further indirection bin here? Keep it simple!
Either we split in different platform directories or we can use one for
all but not both.


Because with your initial path structure proposal I thought you want to 
be more Apache-compliance. Other projects have this setup.


Of course we don't need to copy this. :-)


We will discuss the future structure in new thread asap to have enough
time to adapt the scripts.


OK

Marcus


If necessary we can provide additional files as subdirs inside the
version/ directory (e.g., documentation in docs/, hotfixes in
patches/, etc.).

And new releases as Beta or RC can be uploaded into a new and own
version/ subdirectory.

BTW:
The checksum files are created for every file and checksum format
separately, right? Do we have to store them together with the respective
files? Or is it allowed to store them in a separate directory?


To have every version, platform and
language in its own directory is much more complicated to handle in the
DL scripts.




My proposed structure used the version as start directory and than
only split the platforms and the language packs but that can be
dropped if it makes things easier. Then we would have a very flat
structure.


I would prefer to have them together with

Re: Release Notes: missing screenshots

2012-05-02 Thread Armin
Andrea Pescetti pesce...@apache.org wrote:
 Paolo is now coordinating volunteers that are translating the Release
 Notes into Italian, and while quickly reviewing the original document
 https://cwiki.apache.org/OOOUSERS/aoo-34-incubating-release-candidate.html
 I have the impression that some paragraphs would be much clearer with a
 screenshot or a sample document. For example, does anyone have more
 information on the following items?
 
 - Further development/bug fixes for DOCX import filter
 (a sample DOCX to test, or a screenshot showing the progress in import
 would be very useful)
 
 - Enhanced chart visualization
 (is this backend only or user-visible? if it's the latter, is there an
 ODF available to test?)

It basically means that internally the graphic objects are not exchanged
using a metafile in old metafile format with integer coordinates, but
primitves are used directly with all their possibilities. This removes two
transformation steps and avoids losing quality, thus being faster and
qualitatively better, e.g. when having charts with more than 65535 data
points (the maximum for polygons in metafiles). Also positions are better
due to double precision when zooming in or needing high resolutions. The
main advantage is that 3d charts do not need to be visualized as bitmaps
(metafiles do not know 3d at all, thus they need to be transported as
bitmap), but stay in 3d geometry for visualisation. To see the advantages,
try to zoom into a 3d chart in OOO3.3 and AOO3.4. This also gives enhanced
printing and exports, too. One of the features which were forgotten to be
mentioned in some publications recently...

 
 - Formula: Automatic baseline for Math objects
 (while it is well explained, again having a sample ODF file or
 screenshots would help, since Math isn't the most popular module)
 
 Thanks,

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for the sweet words. What we did here in Brazil with the Journal
BrOffice was a great experience for all of us because the entire
production of the magazine was made ​​by BrOffice suite (Writer and
Draw). With this, we were the first to learn how to use the tool and
help people with tips and tutorials. Furthermore, we did interviews with
CIOs of companies that went through migrations to BrOffice/OpenOffice. I
really like your idea of having the focus on the user. In my opinion,
for this type of project (a magazine) work it takes a very active
community. We already have the social media, local lists are being
created. Do you think it possible to produce an electronic journal
edited and produced using only free software and Apache OpenOffice? I
think so!

 Welcome Luiz,

 Great timing. AOO3.4 is almost complete and planning is starting for
 upcoming releases.

 For my part, I've recently joined the project and will be focusing on the
 user experience design and product direction.

 Your experience and background could be of huge assistance to the UX effort
 moving forward. Product design is a multidisciplinary activity, and your
 skills and experience are really impressive. I want to transform the AOO
 design approach to be more oriented around people, versus technology. I
 want to focus the strategic planning and design direction less on features,
 and more on how people use AOO in the context of their lives -
 multi-device, cloud and social and more...

 Your journalism background, and familiarity with how people use AOO could
 really help us tell stories that describe how people will continue to use
 AOO in a way that compliment their lives, where the technology is
 complimentary to the things they like to get done. Such stories are a great
 tool to communicate the product vision internally, and can also be used to
 validate design direction direction with end users

 I'll be looking to re-invigorate the UX sub-community moving forward. We'd
 love to have your support.

 Thoughts?

 Best regards,
 Kevin

 in second alert.
 
 * when I put my mouse OVER the now generated links, I SEE 
 http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html, and this is what
 shows up in my message area of Firefox.
 
 But, when I click on the link, I get bounced over to:

2. The list of what order to install all these deb packages.


No order is required that I know of - just dpkg -i *.deb works just  
fine

for me - well, I do install the desktop integration pieces after
installing the main application, but even that could I think be  
done in

a single command, I just don't.



Before to enter dpkg -i *.deb  I'd suggest to type :

cp desktop-integration/*.deb .  # don't forget the last point ! (else

Maybe you'lll have to delog yourself, to cleanup the menu cache, not

and it was a little bit surprising ;-) But i think we have listened and
have incorporate feedback early and careful. And we will continue to
improve our work here as a healthy project and a vibrant community.

My special role as a release manger was only a tiny piece (and nothing
special) of the overall work we as a *community* have achieved with this
first release. I could list many names and I am sure I would forget
some. So I would like to say thank you to all who helped in the last
month to bring our first release on the road.

I will list only some key areas where we have achieved a lot:
- migration of the website, the wiki, the user forum, the extensions and
template repository, bugzilla
- setting up new internal wiki at Apache, new pootle server, new project
web page
- IP cleanup of the code
- setting up build bots
- preparing regular dev snapshots and final RC
- great QA work
- archiving older releases and not yet integrated cws
- establishing a powerful mirror network with new partners
- work on documentation to reflect the new name and latest changes
- ...

The release is only the successful crowning end of a huge huge effort
and a lot of work to migrate everything from Oracle infra-structure to
Apache and partners.

We all know that it was not only the source code that was migrated/moved
but much more and especially the way how we improved over time our
collaboration on different tasks makes me very proud and I am really
looking forward to continue this work with all of you.

We have strong characters in the project with different communication
styles but I think we should always look twice what individuals are
really doing here in the project and for the project before we
adjudicate on somebody.

And about statements like the major part of the community have moved
to... can I only laugh out loud. I felt myself always as part of the
OOo community and I never have moved to somewhere else ;-) (sorry I
couldn't resist)

Thanks to all of you

To that end, I've used the Mac version (and also Linux, though less
so) daily, and it has been great. I've also used it with Google Docs,
with Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac, with Calligra (KOffice) and
others. The application has not disappointed and also not crashed. (I
wish I could say the same for other application I find myself using.)

One other point. The release process for OOo was as efficient as it
could be but also painful to many. I don't think that I've heard
similar expressions of frustration and pain here.

That's *great*.

[PROPOSAL] Official Facebook Fan Page for AOO

2012-05-02 Thread Rob Weir
I think we should have an official Facebook fan page in time for the
release of Apache OpenOffice 3.4.  I think this is critical, since the
average end user does not subscribe to mailing lists, or even use
Google+ or Twitter.  But almost every user, current and potential,
does use Facebook.  So it is our best opportunity for engaging with
users.

Here is the proposed page: http://www.facebook.com/ApacheOO

I need your help in managing and running this page.   I'm offering to
hand total control of this page over to the PPMC.  If anyone (from the
PPMC) wants to be co-admin on this account, please send me an email
address associated with your Facebook account.   You can send this to
me via private email if you prefer.

So, is anyone willing to help?

Also, if you are not a PPMC member, but would still like to help, this
is very welcome as well, from all volunteers:

1) Like the page

2) Share the page with your friends

3) If you find interesting stories or tips related to OpenOffice, post
them on our Wall

4) If you have interesting photos or stories of the history of
OpenOffice, add them to our Timeline

5) Visit the page regularly and add comments to posts, and generally
help with any user questions.

With this page, we'll have a good set of social media accounts ready
for the AOO 3.4 launch, including Google+, Twitter, Identi.ca and
Xing, a Facebook group (which is different than a FB fan page), as
well as a Brazilian Twitter and Indenti.ca account.

Note that with Facebook every page admin is equal and even has the
ability to remove other admins, including removing me.  So I have
absolutely no exclusive special privileges.   I'm reserving nothing.
I'm giving the page over entirely to the PPMC.

Finally, please know that I've made every effort to get the existing
OpenOffice.org FB page made available for our use.  I've asked
repeatedly [1][2] for this, as well as provided detailed technical
steps [3] needed to make this transition.  I think it was worth the
effort to try to make that work, but sadly, this has failed to occur.
 However, we still have enough time (barely) to have a new page ready
for the AOO 3.4 launch, and to promote this page and turn it into
another way in which we can engage with our users in the future.So
I hope I have your support.

Rob,

Good stuff, sign me up.

This is a great way to crowdsource.

 I think we should have an official Facebook fan page in time for the
 release of Apache OpenOffice 3.4.  I think this is critical, since the
 average end user does not subscribe to mailing lists, or even use
 Google+ or Twitter.  But almost every user, current and potential,
 does use Facebook.  So it is our best opportunity for engaging with
 users.

 Here is the proposed page: http://www.facebook.com/ApacheOO

 I need your help in managing and running this page.   I'm offering to
 hand total control of this page over to the PPMC.  If anyone (from the
 PPMC) wants to be co-admin on this account, please send me an email
 address associated with your Facebook account.   You can send this to
 me via private email if you prefer.

 So, is anyone willing to help?

 Also, if you are not a PPMC member, but would still like to help, this
 is very welcome as well, from all volunteers:

 1) Like the page

 2) Share the page with your friends

 3) If you find interesting stories or tips related to OpenOffice, post
 them on our Wall

 4) If you have interesting photos or stories of the history of
 OpenOffice, add them to our Timeline

 5) Visit the page regularly and add comments to posts, and generally
 help with any user questions.

 With this page, we'll have a good set of social media accounts ready
 for the AOO 3.4 launch, including Google+, Twitter, Identi.ca and
 Xing, a Facebook group (which is different than a FB fan page), as
 well as a Brazilian Twitter and Indenti.ca account.

 Note that with Facebook every page admin is equal and even has the
 ability to remove other admins, including removing me.  So I have
 absolutely no exclusive special privileges.   I'm reserving nothing.
 I'm giving the page over entirely to the PPMC.

 Finally, please know that I've made every effort to get the existing
 OpenOffice.org FB page made available for our use.  I've asked
 repeatedly [1][2] for this, as well as provided detailed technical
 steps [3] needed to make this transition.  I think it was worth the
 effort to try to make that work, but sadly, this has failed to occur.
  However, we still have enough time (barely) to have a new page ready
 for the AOO 3.4 launch, and to promote this page and turn it into
 another way in which we can engage with our users in the future.So
 I hope I have your support.

 Hi,
  
 Le 2 mai 12 à 22:53, Wolf Halton a écrit :
  
  I had just that issue. LO uses /usr/bin/soffice as well.
  
  
 Not very kind :-/
  
well we used it since many years and people will expect that OpenOffice will 
start. Let us wait what happens when users complain.
We can of course create a further link aoo, aooffice, apacheoo or 
apacheopenoffice. But I would like to keep soffice as well because it is used 
in many places.  
  
  
  Can we just change that in the integration code so it s-links to /  
  usr/bin/aooffice, or
  would it be better to push that over to the Ubuntu packagers?
   
  
  
 No idea about the packagers. What I know, is that change all soffice  
 inside the $INSTALL_DIR/program is difficult, but change the shell  
 name calling it is easy. That's even what I did with OOo4Kids and  
 OOoLight. For that, I created OOo4Kids.sh, located in sysui/desktop/  
 share, and containing:
  
 -8
 #!/bin/sh
  
 exec /%PREFIX/program/soffice $@
  
 -8
  
 PREFIX contains the install path, and you can rename it  
 ApacheOffice.sh, or whatever name, of course.
  
 Next step : the code to be modified stands in sysui/dekstop/share/  
 create_tree.sh file + some little things in the makefile and in the  
 Debian control file maybe. Of course, if you need, you can reuse what  
 I did in OOo4Kids and I'll relicense it under Apache License.
  
  

We should analyze careful what we change or have to change. But right now I am 
not willing to change anythings that belongs to OpenOffice and is taken by 
others.

 Thanks again for keeping things as they were for the time being.


Hi all,

 We've loaded the current files, please let us know when youupload more
files, so that we can update the rest in a timely manner.

Please note that the 3.4.0 folder is staged on sourceforge, which means
that directly links to files in it will work, but visitors
browsing the files will not see them.

By the way, is someone coordinating with MirrorBrain maintainers to manage
updates to serve the Look for updates function?

Roberto

 Sorry for my lack of immediate understanding.

I'm not sure what I am reading either. My reference is using Apache POI and its 
User Defined Function (UDF) capability to rewrite a VBA function in Java. This 
allows me to have a different implementation of a VBA function that is not in a 
Basic derivative. Whether that works or not depends on whether I can accurately 
code the VBA in Java. This is not easy.

I think that this API may be more about UDF support than VBA support.

To me VBA support means that I can run my MS Office VBAs in the program without 
any trouble.

Still, UDF support is useful. VBA support is a panacea.

What's it all about Peng?

Regards,
Dave

Hi,  Andrew, I think the article is about VBA Macros interoperability
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/VBA . It explains the details if
you want to hack OO for more excel macros support.  Currently there are
still many VBA apis not supported in OO,  although the support framework
has been implemented.
