Re: [tdf-discuss] LibOCon proposals
Hello everyone, 2012/1/23 Stefan Weigel stefan.wei...@bildungskreis.org Hi, Am 23.01.2012 08:32, schrieb Florian Effenberger: I just was privately contacted by a third proponent. They tell that due to internet connectivity issues during the weekend, they were not able to retrieve the CfL, and thus not be able to create a proposal in time. Sounds a bit strange to me. There was enough time for preparing a proposal. I am asking myself, if someone who starts too late, without any buffer time for unexpected difficulties, really qualifies for organising such a big and complex event. I think that it is okay to have the third proposal resubmitted for 2013. Moreover, because we end up with two proposals, we might not even have to vote (since we have one proposal for each year) and we only need to prioritize them.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: Can we replace Floppy Disk
Hello Pedro, 2012/1/22 Charles-H. Schulz charles.sch...@documentfoundation.org Hello Pedro, 2012/1/21 Pedro pedl...@gmail.com Hi Charles Charles-H. Schulz wrote - if the icon was changed (I don't think it has, my 3.5 beta still has the floppy icon on the mac) then it means someone provided a replacement icon. It certainly has under Windows. Hmm... it does not make sense (not what you say, but what's going on), because we don't ship different icons -under the same iconset- on different platforms. I do believe you, but would you be so kind as taking a screenshot of your screen and post it somewhere (flickr, imgur) as this list does not support attachments? I can do that as well on my side. Charles-H. Schulz wrote Again I don't remember it was the case, but changes do not occur though discussion, they do occur through effective contribution :-) Of course discussion without contribution is just a waste of time, but contribution without discussion is anarchy, is it not? :) Yes and no; the discussion needs to happen on the relevant list or on the bugzilla and then, it does not need to take long or every item :-) Best, Charles. So the iconset was indeed changed at the Beta 3 (I had the beta 2 running) and no, it was not well communicated, but the discussion took place on ux-advise and the design list. best, Charles. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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

I jumped directly to RC1 (I missed Beta3 because it was only available officially for 5 days) Your answer is not very clear: does this mean the icon will change for all platforms?

Re: [tdf-discuss] LibOCon proposals
Florian Effenberger wrote: Hello, we have received two proposals for this years' LibreOffice Conference - thank you very much for your applications! My proposal for the voting process is as follows: - I would like to make the proposals public immediately, by uploading them to the wiki, and sending out a short notice to announce@tdf - For the timeline of a week or so, the community can ask direct questions to the proponents, should something be unclear in their proposals - After that, we will initiate the voting - For voting, I propose to use a simple majority vote, i.e. the proposal having more votes will host the conference - The candidate not succeeding this year can propose for 2013, but it will not automatically be preferred there (since we already called for 2013 proposals as well) - Where I'm a bit undetermined is the voting scheme itself - One option is to allow every subscriber to the announce@ lists to vote (after e-mail confirmation in the voting system itself), - another one is to allow only TDF members to vote. The latter one would exclude joke votings like we have seen them in the past, but exclude many eligible people. - A third option would be to send out a voting invitation to everyone subscribe to a set of mailing lists (e.g. discuss@, announce@ and so on), but send them a private token. That way, only active people in the project could vote, but TDF membership would not be necessary. What do you think? Thanks, Florian I like the third option, there are many of us, like myself who have been active on the Discuss list, the Users list and others, since long before the LO fork, but are not programmer/developers. All I have been able to do is to distribute the program on disk, and install it on every machine I built for my customers, (hundreds of them) over the years. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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
