Good!


Not sure how to increase our chances of being accepted,
but would love any feedback on that.


Both booths/stands and devrooms are accepted (or rejected) directly by 
the FOSDEM organizers, with (as far as I know) no way to influence the 
decision. But organizers prefer to see devrooms that focus on one topic 
rather than one software and that gather similar projects.


Acceptance of a stand and/or a devroom for the same project are 
independent. So a stand for OpenOffice is unrelated to a devroom for ODF 
Editors. And a stand for Apache is unrelated to a devroom for Big Data 
projects. And different Apache projects can show up in different 
devrooms since they apply to different areas.


I'm going to submit a proposal for an ODF Editors devroom too, similar 
to http://s.apache.org/ved (the one we sent last year).


Regards,
  Andrea.

That is to account for the actual year being slightly less than 365.25 days
and is the difference between the Gregorian calendar and the earlier Julian
calendar.. Not all spreadsheets get that right.

Hi,

OpenOffice spreadsheet.

It is my understanding that dates are stored with spreadsheet as a serial 
number starting with 01/01/1900
being stored as a '1'.
When 01/01/1900 is looked at as a general number format in OpenOffice it 
appears as '2' versus a '1'.


The default starting date is 30 December 1899 = 0

INTRODUCTION - Perry 'Johnny' Levine

2015-10-05 Thread Perry 'Johnny' Levine
My name is Perry 'Johhny' Levine.

I'm from Cherry Hill, NJ and have been teaching spreadsheet programs
at the Cherry Hill Public Library for the past 10 years.  The course began
teaching Excel and now includes both OpenOffice and Libra spreadsheets.

The course consists of 3 sessions each 2.5 hours in duration with as many
as 20 attendees per session.  The course is repeated on a monthly basis.

Primary my interest is in the casual use of spreadsheets for home use but
also teach 'functions' to those in the job market or currently employed and
need to improve their spreadsheet skills.




DATE ISSUE in OpenOffice Spreadsheet

2015-10-05 Thread Perry 'Johnny' Levine
There seems to be an issue of how some1900 dates are being stored in the 
OpenOffice spreadsheet.

It is my understanding that dates are stored with spreadsheet as a serial 
number starting with 01/01/1900
being stored as a '1'.

When 01/01/1900 is looked at as a general number format in OpenOffice it 
appears as '2' versus a '1'.
When 02/01/1900 is looked at as a general number format in OpenOffice is 
appears as '33' versus '32'.
When 12/31/1900 is looked at as a general number format in OpenOffice it 
appears as '366' which would be correct
since 1900 is a leap year.


12/31/1900 is the stored as the correct serial number because 02/29/1900 is not 
considered a valid date in 
OpenOffice and therefore 03/01/1900 is stored as a '61' which is correct and 
the following dates are stored
correct for 1900. 

Will look at other years which are leap years to see if similar problem exists.

Hi!

just wanted to let you guys know that I've just submitted
a proposal for Big Data and Data Science devroom for
FOSDEM. ASF is the org that can make it a really successfull
DEVROOM and last year the feedback was asking for
something like this big time.

Not sure how to increase our chances of being accepted,
but would love any feedback on that.

Thanks,
Roman.

Hi all,

there are some (not very good) photos from ApacheCon.

I reorganized a little, so year 2014

https://www.flickr.com/photos/101590593@N06/albums/72157659502690085

and this year 2015

https://www.flickr.com/photos/101590593@N06/albums/72157659470015452

If you browse around my profile, you can find there photos from my
Friday walk around the downtown.

Redards,
