Re: ODF 1.3
Howdy, Perhaps you missed this; There is an appendix found in each of the OASIS documents (from the first email URL) which lists the changes from 1.2 for the items covered in that part of the spec. Or are you looking for something beyond that?

Re: NLPSolver wiki page
Well, I'm surprised by the answers and life is just to short to argue over this type of thing. OK - I'll drop the boilerplate stuff from the first two pages and replace it with my own boiler plate. That's it and the offer to you guys stands - you are welcome to any part of this you have a use for.

Re: NLPSolver wiki page
To be more responsive: The first 2 pages are basically just a copy of the old wiki page - with edits to remove references that make no sense for us (ie no need to install an extension). The text in that section is also either generic information about solvers or specific information on the two solvers from Sun. I've added to it a section of generic information on CoinMP. The tables with API interfaces has been reformatted for the Sun Solvers and new information added for the other three supplied solvers. The example section is just about a total re-write. The example is 100% new.

NLPSolver wiki page
Howdy, Last week I began looking at the documentation at the LibreOffice wiki as it pertained to the Calc solver engines supported, and supplied by the office suit. What I found was that the most prominent reference was to a page back on the AOO wiki ttps://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/NLPSolver I thought it worth while to create a proper content page over on the LibreOffice wiki, two main content reasons; 1st - the AOO is specific to the NLP extension from Sun and wanted to expand it with information on the five different engines available in a LO vanilla install (w/java) of which the NLP engines are only two; 2nd - there is a link to the SDK API documentation for the Solver service information which needs to point to the proper SDK. I decided to use the content from the AOO page as a jumping off point and to change and expand it. A draft (nearly done) of that work is available for review here: https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/ebisHjZo2rowM4Q Two reasons for this email. Today in our documentation team meeting I was asked how you folks here felt about me using the AOO content as the jump off text. I said I was sure you wouldn't mind and that I would ask to be sure. So - this email. (note I've kept the license information from the AOO page in the new draft document with regards to the two NLP extension solvers - with a minor change to the text, so please check that out) Second - in the draft you will see that I've included a reference to an MIT tutorial on solvers and supply a Calc file with a simple script which executes the solver model from that tutorial. The example Calc file with the script should work just fine with AOO and if you folks are interested I would be happy to share this for use on the AOO wiki page, or anything else in that draft change. That is the long and short of it - questions/comments welcome and let me know if you would like to use any of the content on the wiki here.

Re: macOS and AOO42X
Howdy, I fired up the binary for Linux under Ubuntu 18.04 (KDE/Plasma) Having an issue with menus. For most of them, start center and module top level menus, there is an odd delay when they open where the frame for the menu is drawn and filled with garbage for a second or so and then the menu item appear. Some of the menus seem to have a bit more of an issue then others. This particular start center menu is the worst, and the garbage remains until I move the mouse cursor inside the menu frame and only then does the menu items correctly display. Anyway - two screen shots to show you what I mean. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RNLprHKaiZPlvAnEGMoXZQey9KfXy4O0 https://drive.google.com/open?id=1akUxyWrpGaQ96fIXMs-XCeHN_HJZtfxU Best wishes, Drew On Wed, Apr 29, 2020 at 3:03 PM Matthias Seidel wrote: > Hi Jim, > > Am 29.04.20 um 20:43 schrieb Jim Jagielski: > > OK, so I have available a handful of Lang builds for Linux 64bit and > macOS available at > > > >o http://home.apache.org/~jim/AOO-builds/ > > > > These are of HEAD of AOO42X and were built as developer releases... > these are not the "official" Dev2m2 releases however, although they are in > a directory that implies otherwise. > > > > Once people give these a quick A-OK, I can go ahead and do the *real* > and *official* Dev2/4.2.0-m2 builds > > Let's wait for updated translations...

Re: Unsuccessful test of AOO 4.5 from buildbot output
Just download the 4.5 files (no sdk, just the main application w/en_us ) Did a parallel install on Ubuntu 18.04 KDE/Plasma Install went fine. Ran a couple of largish writer files into it, did a little light editing - no problems. Created a quick small Impress file (no animation) and no problems. Installed Oracle Report Builder extension - ran a couple of example dbs with macro controlled report generation - no problems. Calc; made a quick little spread sheet with a graph, really simple - no problems. Then I opened an .xls file I use for testing calculations performance and ran into a bit of an issue. Compared to 4.1.6 the file required noticeably more time to load compared to 4.1.6 (2 sheets, data sheet has 18,048 rows of data) Forced a recalculation of the full sheet and here version 4.5 was much worse performance wise over the 4.1.6 version. 4.1.6 takes just a tad but less then 4 minutes to finish and 4.5 took over 6 minutes. Anyway, hope that feedback helps.

Re: IMPORTANT: March 31st, 2019 deadline for deactivation of old ODFAuthor Plone service
One follow up on this - while it is in front of me.

IMPORTANT: March 31st, 2019 deadline for deactivation of old ODFAuthor Plone service
Howdy folks, I has been a while since I've said hello on you mailing list. Reason for doing so today is, as the subject says, regarding the ODFAuthors website which had been used at one time by folks developing documentation for both LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. As you can see the Document Foundation, which has been hosting the site, is looking to move away from it and currently looking to shudder the service in an expeditious fashion. March 31, 2019 being at a minimum the date on which the server will be read only. What follows is a copy of an email that went out to the Document Foundation's documentation mailing list last week. Hello Authors In order to optimize our resources in many aspects (manpower, security, hardware) we started last year the migration of some documentation communities to the NextCloud service. https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org To the date, the EN, DE, FR, ES, pt-BR, IT, NL and TR documentation communities have open folders in NextCloud and started to move data from old ODF Author Plone to the new repository in NextCloud. I ask the remaining community leaders to start the migration process so we can keep March 31st, 2019 our deadline for freezing and deactivating the plone service. The migration is no more complex than recreating the same folder tree of the NL community in the NextCloud service and moving the files to the new service. Of course, as when moving to a new home, you may want to do some housekeeping on the contents. We will also move AOO / OO.o files to our NextCloud just in case. The old ODFAuthor plone service will be handed shutdown and archived. No loss of data expected. More on NextCloud at TDF: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/ODFAuthorsMigration kind regards -- As part of the process I was tasked with be responsible for maintaining a copy of the published files currently under the AOO and OO.o directories on the plone server over on the next cloud service mentioned above. This is just to ensure that they are saved in a place which could offer public access long term. In starting this process I have scanned through the files on the OADAuthors site and have found a number directories marked as private (which is in addition to a flag 'not published). I wanted to talk with folks here first and get your guidance on how best to proceed. My guess is there are questions - and I'll do my best to work with you on those through the mailing list here.

Re: AOO4 General videos
Hi Kay, Yes, that was the idea exactly, and with that in mind, I figured it would be worth varying the opening graphics a bit - so I did (am). Will license these as CC 3.0 BY-SA , without the NC rider, given that I have no music track, so folks could, as far as I'm concerned use these any way they see fit. Actually, it might be worth running the common license screen by the list before the final renders - will put that together now and post back to this thread with a link. Then finish up the sequencing, bit hold on the final render till tomorrow for any feedback on that license/credits graphic.

Documention - sort of
Howdy folks, First I want to thank Jean Weber for making this email possible. Recently I had need to work on a document regarding AOO for a disk project I'm working on and I wanted to use an existing resource from the ODF Authors group, specifically the custom template used to generate the user guides the group produces. That template was (is) dual licensed GPL/CC-BY-SA 3.0. What I wanted however was the option to license the derived work under he Apache license - so using the original template as, ah a template, I proceeded to make some changes, but in the end the text which describes how to use it was predominantly from Jean. I just got the email from her giving me permission to re-license my updated file and I will make this new template available to the project dual licensed as Apache 2.0 and CC-By-SA, which will allow anyone basing a final work on the template to license as either or both. So, a few quick questions for the group here. Easy one first- the template includes a contact email for reporting any problems or suggestions, the original listed the ODF Authors discuss mailing list and I would assume for this new one he right answer is this list, yes? Location - since I'm still a bit out of the loop is there a spot on either wiki where folks would want this? Copyright - The original template is set to default to a copyright for ODF Authors, I assume (oh such a bad word) that here the copyright would be left to the author(s) and not the ASF or maybe so, or maybe so sometimes.. ?? So - the template is ready to go and I'll wait for response(s) to those easy questions and look to post it up when next I'm tethered to the global tracking system next ;) //drew

Howdy, For those who do not know who Kim Komando is, she hosts a rather successful radio talk show dealing with digital consumer products. This last weekend's show included a call in about speech recognition and OpenOffice, and the Nexus 7. The host explained that they would be putting up a quick tutorial on their website, www.komando.com/ , showing hot to hook this up on the Nexus 7. So - does AOO actually run on a Nexus 7, I really don't know and if their is any known problems does anyone happen to have a contact with the show so that we could help them put this together. Thanks //drew
Re: General ASF question
Hi Siva, I was wondering if you are familiar with the OpenSource Maryland group. The next meeting will be held November 21, 2013 at the Howard County library. Their website is at http://opensource-md.org/ The group does dual purpose for a Ubuntu user group - anyway, I would not be adverse to putting together a presentation regarding AOO (and Apache I suppose) for the group. I'm already hooked up on the mailing list there and certain that it would be welcomed, so if you would be interested in attending such a presentation let me know and I'll get to it.

Re: AOO on Nexus 7 and the Kim Komando Show
Thanks, I did not think AOO ran directly on the Nexus. hmm - well, I checked the show site and they already posted the other items I heard mentioned form the weekend show, but nothing regarding this callers question. I suppose it is worth an email to the show producer. Unfortunately I'm running short on time for today already, but I'll get that done and sent tomorrow and will cc the list. //drew On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 3:28 PM, Rory O'Farrell ofarr...@iol.ie wrote: On Mon, 21 Oct 2013 15:06:31 -0400 Drew Jensen drewjensen.in...@gmail.com wrote: Howdy, For those who do not know who Kim Komando is, she hosts a rather successful radio talk show dealing with digital consumer products.

Re: Reopening the Vietnamese Forum
Howdy Guys, Well, I was planning on posting to the Google + account regarding this today. Decided after reading this that maybe I should hold off.. but maybe not.. anyway what I had ready to post is: Một cuộc hành trình dài. A little bit of news. The Vietnamese User Forum for Apache OpenOffice has been on a respite of sorts since being shuttered a while back, waiting for someone to take on the task of monitoring and moderating the site. Mr. Phan Anh, who is also active with the Vietnamese translation work in the AOO project has volunteered to fill this position, making it possible to open the forum for general use once again. It is very good to see this community resource open once more. It is individuals such as Mr. Anh that make our community work, for all of us and I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his efforts, and to also thank the many, many others who also 'get it done' in the AOO community. //drew On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 1:06 AM, imacat ima...@mail.imacat.idv.tw wrote: I almost forgot: Welcome, Phan!

Re: Open office
Howdy Louis, Yes, I agree the term desktop might be confusing for some - however, the term is not the same as my meaning. Seems to me the current thinking within software development organizations is to view all systems on a connectivity continuum, with even embedded system designers viewing connectivity as a de facto requirement. This is pushing much, most more likely I believe, of the commercial work and IMO many FOSS projects towards pure SAAS offerings. This is not only manifest in the applications/tools developed but also in the secondary materials produced. (on-line vs delivered help files, for example) It also seems, to me, natural that this evolution towards ubiquitous connectivity continues is both driving and being shaped by the shift in type of computing devices entering circulation. How all that IMO applies to the AOO project is this, as I was looking over some of the earlier marketing material from the OO.o project with an eye to re-drafting it for the current AOO project it appears to me that some of the value proposition arguments put forward are less strong today. I was then looking to find additional ideas, attributes, which could be used to base new value propositions on and/or as differentiating points. It seemed to me that given the current activities in the development world the fact that AOO is/was designed from the ground up to work fully, with all features, in an environment not requiring connectivity to public communications networks might be such an attribute, at this time. Certainly it is not a core point, but I do believe there is real value in this attribute to groups of prospective users and would be worth at least some attention as materials for the project are generated. Thanks - and that was rather a lengthy reply...see what happens when one does this off-line, sighting there with a mice warm, fresh, cup of coffee. //drew On Mon, Oct 14, 2013 at 2:15 PM, Louis Suárez-Potts lui...@gmail.comwrote: On 2013-10-14, at 14:08 , Drew Jensen drewjensen.in...@gmail.com wrote: Kind of a sideways note to this discussion.

And I like that you don't cave to the obligatory use of cloud. But I also think it's not really needed to focus or emphasize the desktop element. Most large-scale users (public, private enterprises, offices, whatehaveyous) will opt for the desktop compleat suite because one or two or more of the modules are needed by their users and a mobile alternative wouldn't work very well, at least not if what you did for a living was working on big spreadsheets. But if you are a student, the idea of desktop might just confuse: is a laptop a desktop? And does this mean that ODF files (whatever they are) can only be edited (created, edited) on a desktop? Put another way, if you want to emphasize the robust and completeness of the suite, and also its expandability, via extensions, great!

Re: Reopening the Vietnamese Forum
Hi Guys, Well, the spam had been removed before it was locked, so that should not be a problem. The existing user accounts - those could be disabled, yes of course. So - I understand there is a new person to act as the admin and that is the reason for the re-opening, which I think is great BTW. I take it from the earlier email that the new admin still needed to setup their account on the en forum...or not, I don't know really - kind of a problem having me in this loop, as I have no internet access on a regular basis and as you can see am not able to get connected every day. Anyhow - I just jumped over there and logged in - yup my account still works - but imacat has all the same access rights.

Re: CD
Howdy Edgardo, Well, the project doesn't maintain a CD any longer, in fact it never had one that a person could ask for though it would hand them out at conferences (also a thing of the past), the disk image was simply available for download. I suppose you need this disk image ASAP? There is a disk image from an older release which I could update to 4.0.1 fairly quickly, it would not be from the project and I could not make it look like it was and you would have to buy it (~5.00 US) on the upside I could include additional items (extensions) that the project will not include. So, if you could wait a week perhaps I could help, but no sooner then that. //drew On Sat, Oct 5, 2013 at 8:42 AM, Edgardo Anaya itsed...@gmail.com wrote: I am in need of OO 3 CDs if there r any available Please.

FOSDEM explicitly says that they reserve the right to aggregate projects similar in scope in the same devroom, and if they had received applications from other ODF-based suites they would probably have aggregated them too. Aggregation does not mean that they want the projects to merge, but simply that they feel that projects can share experiences and ideas productively.

Re: Where can I find the new AOO4-Logo as a vector format?
Hi Rob, I agree with you on the source vs shared distinction of a logo and that is precisely why PNG is good for sharing and why SVG, after changing from font text to path [polygons] is also good. One good SVG, as graphic, covers many PNG files for others to use to get top quality results in their work - IMO //drew On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 11:57 AM, Rob Weir robw...@apache.org wrote: On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 11:51 AM, Alexandro Colorado j...@oooes.org wrote: On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 10:46 AM, Rob Weir robw...@apache.org wrote: On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 11:38 AM, Armin Le Grand armin.le.gr...@me.com wrote: Hi Rob, On 27.09.2013 14:50, Rob Weir wrote: On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 6:04 AM, Alexandro Colorado j...@oooes.org wrote: My guess is that the TM are not converted to path.

So I'd recommend using a rasterized version of the logo on the website or anywhere else we expect random users to visit. There are ways of having both SVG and raster images, but if we're not seeing consistent SVG rendering then it would be safer to just render via Inkscape and use that. There is a way to have a uncritical SVG version - just convert all text to polygons first (and use absolute polygon paths, e.g. in inkscape). That version would be safe since it would not use any font references, only graphics (polygons). Relying on font rendering in SVG does simply not work for multiple different systems, versions of these and even evtl. different languages and installed fonts. That might fix this one issue, but what about older browsers like I.E. 6? Will the logo render perfectly everywhere? We have challenges getting even HTML and Javascript to work right everywhere. I don't think we want to risk having our brand image rendering poorly. We've gone 12 years with a raster logo on the website. It works. I think you are confusing the render on the browser with using this as a web design element. SVG have been around for ages, the fact that this user asked for a vectorized version (to use for whatever reason) and he happen to notice an issue on the browser, doesnt mean his intentions is to put it on the page. It is a reasonable assumption that the mention of the rendering on the browser was not unrelated. That said, I strongly think we should switch to SVG, natively, is much smaller, and more open. PNG = ISO/IEC 15948. So it is an open standard as well. As for encouraging the propagation of our logo in an easily reusable vector format, I don't agree with that. I think we should keep the source to the logo rather controlled and make raster versions of it available for approved purposes. -Rob There are also many fallback libraries like svg.js and modernizr for older browser.

Howdy, Wanted to update those file on confluence, apparently I'm unable with my account, to delete attachments I've uploaded, (so I take it from reading the Atlassian docs) which sorta makes sense I suppose, but I can update them and with that. Updated the three-up card piece at: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/34022580/ThreeUp_GI_rays2.pdf [note I seem to have not copied the odt file to the thumbdrive, so that update will need to wait till Monday] This piece is constructed with 6 independent frames so that it would be easy for someone to use it and generate a full page of any single card design. Also added this file, as a proposal for a general branding motif I would like to use going forward with this small set of items: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/34022580/oRBS.pdf ALSO - that would be my proposal for an NGO focused piece, if the text seems familiar..it should as I borrowed from the WHY web pages.

However, the lossless pdf printed at 300 DPS shows off the feather just fine - without the huge stroke (that is what makes it look black) as displayed in some readers.

Re: AOO Flyer_SME (was : Yet another flyer)
OK - followed your advice and as usual it ended up better for it. Here is the 'final' pdf (I generated this with jpeg vs png graphics hoping might look better with google drive, but not really) https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0IM3IyRllwRlNnT2M The odt file is here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0IVUs4dGUwbFpkdUk For my part I'll treat this as finished, I'd like to get back to some other things this weekend - not the least of which are getting some 'dog food' notes sorted from putting this together and some time checking the bug tracker. Nothing in my notes looks like a show stopper for 4.0.1 (and I'll grab the latest snap shot today and try to do it all one more time) with the possible exception of exporting to PDF with the tagged option set. The last couple of odt (of this flyer) that I uploaded will crash my installation of AOO each and every time if I try to export with that set, but I can do so with text only documents just fine - so I will take some time in the morning to see if I can find what specific item is the culprit, before I make an entry in bugzilla.

University Student Promotional Flyer ( was: Re: Yet another flyer)
Howdy, Alright, I wanted to focus on specific users or scenarios regarding this printed promo material - the earlier flyer skewed towards large user count scenarios, so went towards the other end of the spectrum. Started with the persona of an individual student, decided that was too broad also - College students, also thought this too broad - so, settled my focus on an Individual university student / teaching aid / professor, likely not in the CS field (not looking for developers here, it is for all intent a sales/marketing piece), is at the point in the academic career where the power features of the tools are being needed and I would think they are (or want to believe they are) socially responsible. Anyway, as you can see I'm in long winded mode - short of it Here is the PDF of what I think is the first finished piece/ First Draft - I tried to put this on confluence BTW, but am having problems logging on, I'll try again later on that - for now here it is on google again: PDF https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0INm5IZzQwQXRodGM ODT https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0IVmJ3QzVDNjQyaHc So - If someone wants to move it to the cwiki, please do, hmmm Apache license of couse [suppose I should add that in the properties, huh?] otherwise I'll try reseting my password there again, later.

Re: Yet another flyer
Howdy Juergen, Well, would that be the icons on the wiki - though I suppose those are just an idea. Anyway - the flyer - actually, the flyers - What I would like to do is have a few flyers, targeted to types of users - for example Students, something along the lines of Rob's last blog post but different ;) sorry, it really is not just about being free is it? or is it? College students, at least in the US, are a problem of course and it can be summed up in one word GOOGLE. But they don't have 100% of the market yet (well, in public universities they might) Anyway - I started a student version and a SME version ( there will be a presentation of AOO on the 17th and the presenter would like flyers and that would be for an SME kind of audience, more later on that) I won't put up the student and sme versions today - they are identical to what I already posted, changing only the 1st column and the little icon person on the second page.. Darn- I have to run, I'll try to finish this on the morrow...

Re: Where can I find the new logo (svg) usable in AOO
Hi Guys, On this issue - I believe the (one of) problem is they way superscript is being handled - it breaks the text after any superscript. Of course the browser code is a factor also - I have some examples of SVG outputs from AOO4 and different browsers, really the only browser that consistently renders the file the way it was intended to be seen is Opera, Firefox is next closest and Google..'also ran' - but the one thing that seems to really be broken is handling superscript characters. //drew On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 3:08 PM, Andrea Pescetti pesce...@apache.orgwrote: On 22/08/2013 Jürgen Schmidt wrote: On 8/21/13 9:54 PM, Andrea Pescetti wrote: Discussed here last month.

videos again
I will not be able to upload any large files today, so must wait on this another few days.. I will let you know though that I put together half a dozen small pieces and as I looked at them it was clear that I had totally missed the mark Look and Feel wise - so I tossed it all and started over - first going back to some print work (the flyers) and then back to the video side and changed from a baisc duo-tone of Blue/Black to Blue/White. (Actually I would call the logo color Teal, but I'm a guy and so likely color blind ;) Anyway - I've scooped up the emails from a few weeks back and will review them at home and with luck will get back to a connection point much more quickly this time.

Volunteers can focus on content creation, without much if any concern on branding as the content would then be 'wrapped' into the branding by applying a theme and defined final presentation layout. The motif should also work for content such as video from conference presentations, use with video conferencing systems such as Google Hangouts and in the examples on Monday it will address the Google Hangouts use directly. Final note, when you look at the second document don't get too wrapped up with the secondary graphics, mostly it's just working out layout rules and the like.

For the rest, it's impressive to see how the single chunks can be rearranged to target different use cases. The voiceover is good and clear. we can have both music sections (with hopefully different music ;-)) and voice over sections where a clear voice give explanations. So, my vision would be to at the end deliver, somehow, for the projects use an ISO with all the files used to produce the works, this would include the OpenShot and Pitivi (and other) project files, it would include some instructions (which we would build as we do this) on how to make use of the material. This would be perfect.

The voiceover is good and clear. we can have both music sections (with hopefully different music ;-)) and voice over sections where a clear voice give explanations. So, my vision would be to at the end deliver, somehow, for the projects use an ISO with all the files used to produce the works, this would include the OpenShot and Pitivi (and other) project files, it would include some instructions (which we would build as we do this) on how to make use of the material. This would be perfect. At the moment we don't have many OpenOffice 4 specific materials, so any well-done videos/graphics are welcome. yes and with some more experience it should
Re: New Features and Enhancements video
Howdy, Well, I'be not had a chance to read any mail, after my last message, before writing this so if it seems like I've missed something already mentioned that would be the reason. I've been plowing ahead with my ideas here; not just as a single activity to produce one or two videos but rather to start a framework for a project multi-media resources library, from which multiple videos, for multiple purposes, would be generated. It could also be used to generate themed artifacts for fliers/presentations/artwork(wallpapers, etc) that tie in with these videos. The key is to generate small chunks, of high quality, which can then be used to mix final works. By way of example I've uploaded a zip file at: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0ISV9GcjY5M1l1TTA with the following files: July30/Chunks - AOO4_default_blk.mp4 and AOO4_default_white.mp4 are (should be, more on that later) used as consistent backgrounds in other chunks - WelcomeUsers.mp4, NewLogo.mp4, CommunityActivities.mp4, CommunityActivities.mp4 where created as a reshaping of the wiki features and enhancements page. - Each video includes a voice over (almost) and there is an associated text file with transcript of same. For the initial finished product I had in mind three category of video and one physical video for each category. The categories I had in mind are Flowers - as in 'Congrats on the new birth' - short, punchy and could supply the ending of the other videos to tie them together and for re-use efficiencies. Community - The apache way, recruiting, etc. Features - about the product or services offered by the community. Alright, so I already turned in a 'flowers' type video last week [and since no one else has said it, a not so good one] but do not consider that the final work. For the 'community' category - These pieces: CommunityBeforeCode_loop.mp4, suitable for use at a show table running on a laptop, voice over, no musical background - notice I did not tag this with a license. AOO4_HotTamaleBaby.mp4 and hottamale.mp4 take that basic loop and add a little party music. For the 'features' category - These: NewFeaturesAndEnhancements_loop.mp4 - again, voice over only, note no license AOO_Features_Waltz.mp4, add a nice sound track and pickup my license tag, notice I said MY license tag, I think that is the best way to approach these pieces with CC license material - but that is a subject needing some thought gong forward. In the graphics directory, well, graphics files ;) - some descriptions to follow. So, my vision would be to at the end deliver, somehow, for the projects use an ISO with all the files used to produce the works, this would include the OpenShot and Pitivi (and other) project files, it would include some instructions (which we would build as we do this) on how to make use of the material. What I would hope could be done, if the good folks at source forge are willing which I expect hey would be, is to generate a small and changing over time set of videos and have these dished out to users in round robin fashion. There is a fair bit here to consider, I'm aware, and I will end this mail here. I should be picking up mail again in 2 or 3 days and will also have an update to the files.

Re: New Features and Enhancements video
OOPS - double post - Just to be clear, the zip file I uploaded today contains nothing that should be considered done - there are lots of issues needing addressed on each before they are ready for use - well, enough to keep a guy busy for a week, at least ;) Please, feel to free to comment on any CHUNK or LOOP file, these are the, IMO, core artifacts on which all he fun stuff hangs.

New Features and Enhancements video
Howdy, Well, I decided that I could go ahead and let DARPA-NET have another bite at me today, rather then waiting for next week, so took a little walk into town. That and I wanted to cover the basic template first. Here is an example of what I mean. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0IUWt5cnUxQ3JNbnM/edit?usp=sharing There is an opening 8 seconds with the logo on a non-white background: 1 - is that acceptable 2 - is the ASF tag line acceptable Then there is what would be the body of the piece - a full white background, as this logo really doesn't work to well otherwise it seems to me. 1 - I assume the logo is not an issue here, but thought I'd double check. 2 - I changed the ASF tagline to blue, as you can see 2a - I wonder if I may drop that (the ASF tagline) on the body frames, leaving it on the opening and then bringing it back for the credits at the end, as I will include sub-titles with this piece (in English) and that space would be the place for these to display of course.

Re: release media files
Thanks for the comments. I'm sorry I was so tardy in offering it, I didn't really expect y'all would be able to make use of it with such a suddenness. (first time I played with macro settings on the video camera, so that was fun). I've got a good bit of raw stuff together for the followup piece, but my time on the net is done for this week (almost) - I'll send that along next time. //drew On Mon, Jul 22, 2013 at 11:02 AM, Kay Schenk kay.sch...@gmail.com wrote: On Sun, Jul 21, 2013 at 2:21 PM, Drew Jensen drewjensen.in...@gmail.com wrote: The SVG files for the logo certainly make a trick ;_) You'll see I've made a few other changes and I kind of like where this is at. One item to note, I did, even with the admonition attached to the logo images, stick with the AOO_w_4 logo in the opening frames. That just makes sense to me specific to the purpose here - I did however switch to the numberless logo for the closing frames.

Otherwise, I'll follow up with mail about a second video (with features highlights) in a separate mail thread.

release media files
Howdy Folks, Long time no speak - I noticed the pedning the 4.0 release, read an email the other day regarding the use, or not so much, of the blog for an announcemtn and more social media. Thought perhaps you would like a short 'release announcement' type video perhaps. I took the liberty of spinning up a very brief such item, which you can find here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0IUTY1YzFhR1VLQU0/edit?usp=sharing [unzip the a4.mp4 video file from the uploaded zip container] This is just 13 seconds, very low key, I think classy however (course' I'm bias), I had in mind an audiance of those already using the suite and just waiting for the release - so useful maybe on FB or G+, but if it suits anyone please feel free to use it in any fashion you see fit. Now - one item, I have not been on-line much for many months (only 1 a week for a few hours on average) and have not kept up with the goings on, so, was not able to quickly find a vector graphic of what I take if the new logo, only - I did what I could using the PNG image I found on the wiki, but I'm sure there is a better image available. So, if anyone knows where a vector image for that logo can be found I appreciate it if you could ping back to this mail on the list with the URL. I would also like to offer, and have started, a second video. Longer, 45 - 90 sec. range, with a quick summary of new features. A little different audiance from the shorty here, I suppose. To start that I've downloaded all the information from the release notes page on the wiki, have used this to generate some raw screen video catpure for the GUI changes and will use, with your permission If I may, the graphics from the wiki for some of the file fidelity enhancements. On this second piece, the problem is likely of what *not* to include, if I want to hit the length mark above - that certainly would benefit from collaboration on the list here. Also, because I've not been following along the list on a reagular basis I'm not sure if anyone is dong somthing like that already, if so I would offer to help - otherwise, I planned on putting a first cut together over the weekedn and would make a copy to the list for merciless review (the best kind of course). If anyone wants to post on the list to the email with a script though - it wouldn't hurt at all ;) Thanks for all your had work, it shows in the product. //drew
