You were correct earlier - he is merely pointing out that nowhere in the license agreement (I haven't read it so am not making the same claim) does it say where or how to GET ACCESS TO the source code. If this is true, it should be rectified immediately. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[tdf-discuss] LibreOffice Magazine International is organizing with sign-up sheet
With the help of the *Brazilian team*, an effort to organize an international version of LibreOffice Magazine has been created. If you are interested in participating, on a regular basis, to the production of the LibreOffice Magazine International (the international EN version) please feel free to sign-up on this page[1]. As there are many different posts to fill, it would greatly help if you could let us know of any skills that you wish to bring to the project. Feel free to view the LibreOffice Magazine Brasil -- Collaborators http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/PT-BR/Colaboradores page for an example of some of the tasks that you may be able to fill. We should also acknowledge the Brazilian team who has offered its help and expertise with the production/structure of the magazine. You must be willing to use the LibreOffice suite as the tool of choice for the full production -- Writer and Draw are the modules most used in the production of the magazine. The LibreOffice suite is the tool by which the magazine will showcase its abilities to serve as a professional tool.

Dennis, Tanstaafl, I take your point. Users that have 3.3.2 installed can only get the code for 3.3.3 from the website. As discussed above, I think this meets the spirit of the license but not the specific letter. Simon's idea about downloading the repo at the 3.3.2 marker is a great one, but there is no path to that on either website or wiki. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Availability-of-source-code-Was-Re-OFF-TOPIC-about-GPL-enforcement-Was-Re-tdf-discuss-Re-Libreoffice-tp3078442p3087960.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Simon's idea about downloading the repo at the 3.3.2 marker is a great one, but there is no path to that on either website or wiki. Let's do it then! 1. We want to add a paragraph somewhere in the About dialog box which says that if we are interested in the source code, we should read a specific Wiki page, for example http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/AvailabilityOfSourceCode 2. We create the web page which talks about the git repositories, links to the pages about cloning and checking out branches such as libreoffice 3.3.2. 3. We write a patch for LibreOffice to add the special text and test it. 4. We submit a bug report to have the feature added to the next version of LibreOffice. I can help with items 2, 3 and 4. I need help however as to a. where exactly in the About box (or in the Help menu) shall we put the short paragraph Take screenshots and show on them where to add the text. Put those screenshots on www.imgur.com, send the URL here so we can view them. b. what shall the text say. Propose something that will be helpful for someone who genuinely wants to learn and use the LibreOffice source code.

1. We want to add a paragraph somewhere in the About dialog box which says that if we are interested in the source code, we should read a specific Wiki page, for example http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/AvailabilityOfSourceCode I see a problem here. Usually GNU/Linux distributions make modifications to the original source code. That means that the *real* source code will be the one from your distro and not the one you can download from the LibO website, hence the information will be misleading. We provide all the required source tarballs for each version and every piece of code is in our git repository. So we fulfill all the requirements but we have the problem that it's not easy to find. I guess writing a good text about how to get the source code for every version and place it in our download page (or a link to the wiki page) is good enough. -- Jesús Corrius je...@softcatala.org Document Foundation founding member Mobile: +34 661 11 38 26 Skype: jcorrius | Twitter: @jcorrius -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
