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.

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

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. Herbert

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

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. +1(!) This was a huge learning task, to understand the various Apache procedures and rules related to podling releases, and to take the lead at putting these procedures into action in this project. Good work, Juergen, and congratulations on the AOO 3.4 release! -Rob Juergen

Universal Network Objects - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

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.

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 Juergen

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

Release Notes: missing screenshots
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.

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
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, Andrea. -- ALG
Re: Introduces
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.

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 Juergen Very well said !!! Thanks, and congratulations to everyone !! Best regards, Carl

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] Release Apache OpenOffice 3.4 (incubating) RC1
Congratulations to all and thanks to Juergen, too. But the words are not enough; what is, is use. 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
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.

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.

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?
