There have been changes in the OOo code affecting printer behaviour, that are 
in LibreOffice too now.

Have you tried to look in Bugzilla for similar problems?

 Hello,
 
 I know the topic about local NGOs is still to be discussed, but since 
 the German situation is a bit different to other countries, I would like 
 to raise this specific topic now, after a discussion with the German 
 association's board.
 
 As you are all aware, the German association currently acts as interim 
 legal entity for TDF. Due to that, *all* donations that normally have 
 been donated to the German association, were donated to the TDF account. 
 In a nutshell: In the last three months, the German association did not 
 receive *any* donation, at least not via PayPal (and if any donation via 
 bank account, then only a small amount). 

My understanding was that FrODev.org was accepting donations that could
be earmarked for TDF - if it has turned out that 100$ of said donations
were so earmarked, well that is hard on FrODev.org sure - the
association (FrODev.org) should address that internally.


 However, still it does a lot 
 that is not paid by the TDF account, so I would like to propose the 
 following:

If FrODev.org is still paying bills for TDF our of the FrODev.org
working accounts I would ask Why and suggest they stop.

This is important in my mind - TDF becoming a legal entity is, I hear,
getting close... so are you saying that it is not in shape to stand on
it's own feet, financially, at this point? 

Is FrODev.org to continue some financial role after TDF is legal?

 
 I would like to add a donate button to the German (and only to these) 
 download, extensions and template website. Donations done by these 
 buttons will *not* go to TDF, but rather to the German association directly.
 
 This should at least be an interim solution until we worked out a 
 concept for local NGOs.
 
 What do you think?
 


Among other concerns (which I've edited out of this email), I am worried
about the precedent this sets.

It seems to me that there are numerous places in the current website
where a link to the FrODev.org website could be integrated and I would
be all for that - but the actual pitch for a donation, for FrODev.org,
should IMO be at that site.

Best wishes,

//drew

Re: [tdf-discuss] donation button on German download page

2011-09-20 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hi Drew,

Disclaimer: I am wearing a double hat here, since I am in the board of 
directors at FrODeV, so I have to consider both sides (TDF and FrODeV).


drew wrote on 2011-09-20 14:51:

legally, all money is donated to FrODeV, because it is the legal entity 
capable of accepting donations. SPI is another entity collecting 
donations for TDF.


Since donations are legally bound to certain reasons, FrODeV has set-up 
a separate account for TDF. Quotation marks, because at the moment, 
TDF = FrODeV in legal terms, so both accounts belong to FrODeV. However, 
two accounts make it easier to track the donations for one specific 
reason, as we are legally bound.


The problem is: Nearly 100% of the donations FrODeV as legal entity 
received in the last months are for the TDF. That means, that for 
other activities of FrODeV, like their own web site, event 
participation, production of merchandise and the like.



If FrODev.org is still paying bills for TDF our of the FrODev.org
working accounts I would ask Why and suggest they stop.


You'd better not ask this question, since otherwise, they may indeed 
stop. ;-)



This is important in my mind - TDF becoming a legal entity is, I hear,
getting close... so are you saying that it is not in shape to stand on
it's own feet, financially, at this point?


This doesn't solve the problem. The money needs to belong to one entity, 
someone needs to register domains and trademarks etc., and this entity 
currently is FrODeV. TDF cannot stand on its own feet as long as it is 
no legal entity.


So, if you ask FrODeV to stop, that means that *ALL* activities would 
need to be shut down *IMMEDIATELY*, until another organisation taking 
care 1. of donations/handling money and 2. acting as interim legal 
entity is found.



Is FrODev.org to continue some financial role after TDF is legal?


There are no fixed plans yet. FrODeV and TDF will be to separate 
entities and each has to find their positioning. Sure, FrODeV might 
donate to TDF and vice-versa, but this is a topic for the future.



Among other concerns (which I've edited out of this email), I am worried
about the precedent this sets.

It seems to me that there are numerous places in the current website
where a link to the FrODev.org website could be integrated and I would

should IMO be at that site.


I think most people are not aware what FrODeV does and how important 
this is for us.


Again: We have an association acting as interim legal entity. Without 
this association, *NOTHING* of what we do here at the moment would be 
possible. Due to the tremendous success of TDF, this association has a 
problem - all donations coming in are bound to TDF, since many people do 
not know the difference.


That's what we from FrODeV want to address, and therefore, we would like 
to add a donation button to (only) the German websites, so people are 
actually aware of that association.


Sure, this is an exception that others might ask for as well. However, 
people should keep in mind that FrODeV has a somewhat special role at 
the moment.

Re: [tdf-discuss] donation button on German download page

2011-09-20 Thread Andre Schnabel
Hi,

 Original-Nachricht 
 Von: drew d...@baseanswers.com
 An: discuss@documentfoundation.org
 Betreff: Re: [tdf-discuss] donation button on German download page

  
  I know the topic about local NGOs is still to be discussed, 

I think we should keep in mind, that other NGOs might have the same
problems and requirements - without this, some of the (my) answers 
would hardly have any sense ...

 
 My understanding was that FrODev.org was accepting donations that could
 be earmarked for TDF - if it has turned out that 100$ of said donations
 were so earmarked, well that is hard on FrODev.org sure - the
 association (FrODev.org) should address that internally.

The quite simple rule for FroDev is, that the money gets spent for the
purpose that is mentioned in the donation (as long as it is in line
with general FroDev mission). 
If we would adress that internally what should we do about it? Take x%
of the donations for FrODev? Besides the fact that this would 8likely) be
illegal in German law I would not go for that, as the money rally should
be used for TDF if it was intended for TDF.


 
 If FrODev.org is still paying bills for TDF our of the FrODev.org
 working accounts I would ask Why and suggest they stop.

FrODev is paying TDF bills from the money that was donated to support TDF.
All this money is tracked and accounted separately. 

Apart from that FrODev is still sponsoring several activities within Germany
(e.g. QA weekend, people's participation in local events, local marketing
materials ...). While these activities support LibreOffice (and as such
TDF) these are local activities - and would hardly get any priority
for TDF as a global foundation.


 
 This is important in my mind - TDF becoming a legal entity is, I hear,
 getting close... so are you saying that it is not in shape to stand on
 it's own feet, financially, at this point? 
 
 Is FrODev.org to continue some financial role after TDF is legal?

Of course it will - it will still support local activities, just as
other NGOs will do. 

  
  This should at least be an interim solution until we worked out a 
  concept for local NGOs.

Well - I'd propose the solution as a general one for other NGOs.
The problem is of course to define a certain level of collaboration
between local NGOs and TDF. 

 
 
 Among other concerns (which I've edited out of this email), I am worried
 about the precedent this sets.

I don't get the message here. Do you mean that once we allowed this
for FrODev, we will face lots of NGOs requesting donation links at the
local download pages?

If yes - I'd suggest to make the current link an exclusive one (given the
fact, FrODev actually is not just the TDF bank account FroDev members 
also do the accounting, prepared lots of paperwork, FroDev is supposed to 
be the actual founding entity and FroDev is going to donate 10% of the 
foundation's captial stock - in addition to the donations that have been
received for TDF).
This decision should be taken under obligation (for TDF SC) to work on
general rules how to define collaboration with local NGOs and entities.


 
 It seems to me that there are numerous places in the current website
 where a link to the FrODev.org website could be integrated and I would
 be all for that - but the actual pitch for a donation, for FrODev.org,
 should IMO be at that site.


Again - seems to be my lack of English language - I don't get if you
after all agree to have the link at the donation page, or that (althoug you 
have concerns) you would agree, that the German download page would be
the correct place to go?


Thanks and regards,

André

Hello André

Just on this last point - to clarify - I would be in favor of links to
the FrODev.org website from pages on any of the TDF/LibreOffice
websites. I would be in favor of a button (mechanism) on the FrODev.org
websites for donations specifically for FrODev and exclusive from TDF.

I would not be in favor of placing those donate buttons on
TDF/LibreOffice web pages directly.

Following that train of thought then:

I would be in favor of individuals working a trade show booth for
LibreOffice in Germany also handing out literature showcasing FrODev and
such literature asking for a donation directly to FrODev and exclusive
of TDF.

I would not be in favor of handing out literature with LibreOffice
branding that asked for FrODeve specific donations.


Best wishes,

//drew

that's what we already do. Anything that directly relates to TDF, like 
domains, hosting, trademarks and the like, is being paid from the TDF 
account. However, that does not solve the problem - all donations go to 
the TDF account and are therefore bound for TDF. Still, FrODeV has their 
own fees to pay, their own events to organize, and due the lack of 
incoming donations, which is a result of the (actually positive) amount 
of donations for TDF, this gets more and more complicated


I think FrODeV is in a rather different situation than any other NGO. 
Donors who want to do something good for LibreOffice in Germany donate 
money to the TDF account, as they want the Foundation in Germany. While 
I assume that other associations will also have less donations because 
of TDF being so prominent, I doubt they have zero donations.


So, wearing my FrODeV hat, and representing the association and its 
members, I must find options to limit that impact. Otherwise FrODeV will 
help setting up TDF, but then run into severe financial problems itself 
- and that's something, as member of the board of directors, which I 
cannot support, so we need to find solutions.

That's my understanding, indeed. All legal affairs concerning TDF, 
including assets like domain names and trademarks, and the accounting, 
will be handed over to TDF. In the end, we have two separate entities, 
each of them responsible for their business. Of course, there will be 
strong links, but legally, they are separate.

To be clear though - in general I do not think having direct donation

I do think TDF/LibreOffice pages should include links to external
organization websites where appropriate ( and IMO should be fairly
liberal in defining appropriate )


after all I think, we (means you an me, not speaking for others here)  
have quite the same ideas on the matter. So thanks for clarification.

Hi,

Perhaps I should of changed subject lines - One possibility, which I
know has been mentioned is the allowance of a handling fee to FrODev for
the monies collected on behalf of the Document Foundation.

I would certainly not object to doing such a thing - for a first thought
on what that would mean: Perhaps the new BOD could pay a one time
handling fee of 5% (I took the number from my understanding of what SPI
charges for this) for all monies collected by FrODev into the TDF
account at FrODev up to the time that account is closed and the TDF
books and accounts are opened. 

I think that would be somewhere in the 5,000 euro range - to date.

anyway - just one guys opinion :)

I think this is a very wise suggestion, and I think we should take it 
into careful consideration.

[tdf-discuss] Re: strange page orientation problem

 i try to upgrade all my OOo users to LO, but encounter a serious problem. 
 i have a template for labels to be printed on a ql-1060 (which has 
 default labels of 102 mm (4) width). The label format in the template
 is user defined, 10,2 cm width and 6 cm height, portrait orientation. This 
 used to work perfectly with OOo, but with LO, the print dialog suddenly 
 shows the label in landscape orientation (that is 6cm width and 10,2 cm 
 height). i have to go the the properties of the label printer, and change 
 the orientation from landscape to portrait manually.
 so i have the impression tha the page orientation from LO is not passed to 
 the label printer. this is rather annoying stuff, whicg can be worked 
 arround, but is very confusing.

You fail to mention which version of LO and which OS; can you please advise?

If 3.4.x then I *highly* recommend trying 3.3.4 instead. To me it seems
that 3.4.x (3.4.3) is full of bugs and should never have been released
at all, particularly with this statement:

http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
quote
LibreOffice 3.4.3 Final (2011-08-31)

Safe for production use by most users and enterprises.
/quote

That statement is, at the very least (again IMO, but can be verified by
the bug reports), wrong. Note: for anyone that disputes that, simply
review the users list and bug reports - you'll find many issues
regarding 3.4.x that are resolved by reverting back to 3.3.x.
