John McCreesh

Those of us who were also part of the former OpenOffice.org project will be shocked to hear of the sudden and untimely death of John McCreesh, who used to be the (volunteer) marketing lead for the project. I have written more in [a public post on Facebook][1] which also includes a newspaper report

We will never forget his name. We never met him, but when we start working with OpenOffice.org, we read each single line of his "OpenOffice.org 1.0, ODBC, and MySQL 'How-to'" [0]. Kind Regards Michael [0] http://www.unixodbc.org/doc/OOoMySQL9.pdf signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital

Introduction

Hello, My name is Allison and I'm a new volunteer. I live in the Boston area and I'm currently trying to break into the technical writing field. I have no prior experience and thought contributing to OpenOffice would be a great place to get some experience. I'm mostly interested in documentation.

The CMS is not working properly

Hello, The CMS for the website is not working properly. I look at https://ci.apache.org/builders/ooo-site-site-staging error for "Bodybuilding" Since January 09 until today. A two-time build attempt by me failed, see: https://ci.apache.org/builders/ooo-site-site-staging/builds/151

Re: The CMS is not working properly

Hi Infra team, I'm sorry to bother you again with CMS problems. But the buildbot seems to hang as new builds are failing. Please can you help us to get it to work again? Thanks in advance Marcus Am 01/18/2016 06:53 PM, schrieb Jörg Schmidt: The CMS for the website is not working

Re: John McCreesh

I also heard about it and it's very sad to hear this. John was indeed a huge enrichment for the community ans he was a very pleasant person. I met him several times and worked with him in the community council in the former pre Apache era of OepnOffice. Juergen On 18/01/16 15:58, Simon Phipps

Re: John McCreesh

He will be missed. John was always very enthusiastic and positive force in the community. Great attitude and mind to guide the discussions. I am a bit shocked that this happened during actively working on different projects. I remember his reflective posts on his facebook after he retired from the

Re: John McCreesh

Thanks, Simon, though the news is bleak. I'll post to the Facebook page, at the least. I knew John for many years and kept in touch with him after OOo fell apart. This is brutal news, and far more for those who loved him closely. I don't think I exaggerate in saying that without his efforts,

This is all very interesting posturing. However, AOO 4.1.2 does NOT save documents in .docx format. Simple, open Apache OpenOffice, start a Writer (Text) document, then click Save As ... . Where do you see any option to use OOXML and .DOCX ? (The "Word XML" formats are not .DOCX. They are

[bcc: dev@] Hi Keith, I have belatedly noticed your efforts to reboot the documentation effort, first in April and again in December, 2015. I commend you on this. While people raise their hands, we don't seem to achieve traction. I would like to know from those who did not persevere,
