Currently, if someone finds advertising or malware in their AOO 
installation we can tell them to download AOO only through our download 
link. What would we do in that situation if we did not provide 
downloadable binaries?

Exactly.

Re: Apache OpenOffice NG

[Dave Fisher]

Hi - continuing the top posting.

I think what Raphael is referring to is if the project should follow a pattern 
similar to Apache Subversion where only source code and no binary packages are 
provided.

If you look at https://subversion.apache.org/packages.html you will see what is 
meant. I am not sure how that would work for us. We already have a few 
“packagers”, but then also subversion is very simple compared to OpenOffice. 
The governance on deciding what is allowed on a packagers page might exceed the 
effort in maintaining viable Windows, Mac and Ubuntu/Linux builds. This is 
really the crux of “ease building”. (1)

Alternatively finding a way for a hypothetical organization to develop the 
application including security issues. The question would be who is that 
organization and would they be doing Apache OpenOffice or ${OfficeSuite} 
powered by Apache OpenOffice?

Regards,
Dave

I am sorry not writing aß of Late. I lack time even to follow the list
regularly atm. :(

For good code you need to compile, build the product I mean. There is no
point in outsourcing this.

I think we are alone as long as we do not manage some fundamental reforms.

I think of:
1) ease building
2) strong generic library architecture
3) work tools to help in their projects
4) rally the Open office community behind an organization that develops the
application

I know this is very complex because this strategy heads in different
directions and differs a lot from current thinking. Also it is imho
difficult to achieve since our resources are limited. In skill and in
number.

I hope to have some more time again for open office in near future. Then I
will let you know.

All the best
Peter

Sorry, but my technical knowledge is far better than my English and I hoped

Yes, cloud means more than a server installation.

P.S.: Why should I install Apache OpenOffice on a server under wine? ;-)

Yes, I can do it, but it does not give me any advantage over a classic desktop
office.

Note: under a cloud office I understand an Office running in the browser, a 
normal
Desktop Office, installed in the LAN(*), is for me not a cloud office.

(*)
in the case of OO that means a "server installation" with: setup.exe /a

"There is no cloud, just other people's computers."

But if you put your own cloud on your own computers, you can enjoy the
advantages of a cloud without facing the drawbacks.

Everything you propose can be done today, there is no need for a separate
decision.

Your mistake is (imho) to believe that a decision from us would automatically
increase the interest of third party organizations.

I do not read the word "cloud", but I am afraid that is meant.

In this case, I say: I need, even in the future, a _desktop_ office. For me this
is a question of security, because in today's reality, the cloud is only safe
until the next hacker attack.

Anyone can already develop smaller office tools for certain groups. Third
party organizations can provide their own derivatives (eg. NeoOffice,
LibreOffice already do).

I don't see what this would allow, that the current model doesn't?
