[dev] Students that want to contribute to openoffice.
Dear open office organization, I am a student at Worcester State University, studying object oriented software as part a group of 3 other students. Is there any way that we could contribute to maybe an open office extension? We have less than 3 months together to help out in any way that we can. How can we get started with the current methods used to generate open source software? Could we be assigned someone to consult with, about questions and issues? Thank you Matt Dellomo
[dev] Where can I find Source code of OOo 1.0.0 and/or few others
Hello, Could you pls. indicate me where I can find the source code of OOo 1.0.0, 1.0.2 or 1.1.0?I have checked this URL: http://ooo.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/openoffice-archive/stable/, but it doesnt have an entry for a version or the source code is not there. Thank you for your support in advance.

Hi, Le 12 sept. 10 à 21:11, Dellomo, Matthew a écrit : Dear open office organization, OpenOffice.org you mean ? :-) I am a student at Worcester State University, studying object oriented software as part a group of 3 other students. Great :) OpenOffice.org is mostly written in C++ , so it should be ok :) Is there any way that we could contribute to maybe an open office extension? Well, the OOo wiki has a lot of entries about that : See http://wiki.services.openoffice.org a lot of links are waiting your read :) We have less than 3 months together to help out in any way that we can. If you are interested, instead of writing an extension, the OpenOffice.org Education Project does student mentoring, in collaboration with schools. So you could work on little issues, or features improvement with the Education Project ? See: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ Education_Project/Effort . There are plenty of proposals, you can wor on, one or several students, mentored by us. And the EducOOo non profit assocation can participate to the application validation with your school / University ( like we already do with Epitech Paris, Ecole Centrale Nantes .. and so on) Just in case you are interested, of course. How can we get started with the current methods used to generate open source software? Could we be assigned someone to consult with, about questions and issues? If you want to know more, we use a lot the IRC channel for discussions, development, includig ClassRooms .

[dev] OpenOffice.org HackFest 2010
Dear OOo hackers, the OOoCon just ended, and we realize how little time we can spend together face2face each year. To properly fix that problem, we hereby announce the next event around OpenOffice.org - a HackFest in Hamburg, specifically targeted to developers, to give all of us more face time collectively work on the code. The OpenOffice.org HackFest will take place on the weekend of November 6./7. 2010 in Hamburg, and a tentative program could look like this: * Friday night - beer fun, warming up * Saturday morning - Intro talks, Hands-on sessions * Saturday afternoon/night - collective hacking, bug fixing * Sunday morning - wrap-up, review, document For those who are in need for a bursary, we have a limited travel funding budget available. For sleeping, couchsurfing at the organizers is available. Be aware that would be in an unheated loft, so bringing a sleeping mat and a good sleeping bag would be essential. For more comfortable reasonably priced acommodations see the wiki page at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Sleeping_in_Hamburg We look forward to meet you there, stay tuned for further announcements around programme and sponsoring! To register yourself, just drop a short note to hackf...@openoffice.org and we'll follow up with further information soon.

Re: [dev] Ubuntu desktop 10.4.1 de: Cannot start OOo, because
O.K., I uninstalled everything on this weekend that smelled like Java, however the behaviour of the Ubuntu-installed OOo did not change, i.e. OOo could not get started, the error message is just: Running soffice from the command line gives the following output on the commandline: javaldx failed! Did not uninstall the Ubuntu OOo (and reinstall the genuine one) for the time being, such that I would be able to test whatever people think may help clarify the problem. (OTOH, it may be the case that something went wrong installing the Java distributions and although uninstalling all Java may have left over some settings that are causing this phenomenon.) ---rony On 06.09.2010 20:36, rony wrote: On 06.09.2010 16:47, Stephan Bergmann wrote: On 09/06/10 12:39, rony wrote: On 06.09.2010 11:55, Stephan Bergmann wrote: On 09/06/10 11:37, Rony G.

So that would be the OOo included in the Ubuntu distro, right? Yes. Was there any OOo user data left from a previous OOo (probably some hidden directory starting with .o in the home directory)? No, it was a fresh install on a freshly formatted partition. Which OOo version is this, by the way? 2.3.0 AFAIR. headless openjdk got installed (there was no Java installed at all), Before trying out OOo the first time on that new installation the OOo without Java should work fine (minus the parts using Java, of course), so you might want to check whether OOo starts if you remove Java again. Will try to do that, the machine is not in my realm anymore, but I should get access on the weekend the latest. ---rony - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

So, this happens while no genuine (from download.openoffice.org) OOo is installed, just the one that comes with Ubuntu? (Otherwise, it could be some unexpected interference between the two installations.) What might give a clue is to run strace -f -o logfile .../soffice (with ... replaced with the path to soffice) and make the resulting logfile (which can be huge) available. Strictly speaking, this is probably the wrong forum for this problem, as it appears to be specific to the Ubuntu-specific OOo, but I might nonetheless find time to have a quick glance at the output, to see if something obvious goes wrong. -Stephan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
Re: [dev] Re: Import of relative links from .doc files.
Hi, I would like to see the specification of the .doc format. The bug is not in the conversion from relative to absolute. The bug is somewhere in the reading process. Already in th SwWW8'implReader:::Read_Field, the relative url shows up with part of it missing. It shows up as ..\..\foo.doc when it should have been ..\..\bar\foo.doc Is it possible to look at the strings in the word doc some how with hex/asci reader?

If you have libgsf (e.g. on Linux) you can look at the WordDocument stream (which has the text in it and the fields are in the text with e.g. gsf dump test.doc WordDocument|less main document text typically starts around 0x400 or later in relatively recent word formats. On windows, there's some graphical ole2 viewer thing whose name I can't remember that you could use as well, a search for ole compound format viewer might throw it up. Disable fastsave in word if you are trying to cut a small document down to a small test-case as fastsave complicates matters somewhat.

And as an aside, the hyperlink importer for the .doc format is in sw/source/filter/ww8 as SwWW8ImplReader::Read_F_Hyperlink and its a fairly trivial thing C. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
Re: [dev] Re: Import of relative links from .doc files.
I will upload a test document tomorrow. I don't have any documents here without sensitive data in it, and I don't have word, so I need the owner to produce a document without data (only the buggy data) in it. I will post the update here tomorrow. http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=114485 On 13 September 2010 22:00, Caolán McNamara caol...@redhat.com wrote: And as an aside, the hyperlink importer for the .doc format is in sw/source/filter/ww8 as SwWW8ImplReader::Read_F_Hyperlink and its a fairly trivial thing C. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org -- Knut Olav Bøhmer
