[tdf-discuss] iWork LibreOffice ODF.
To LibreOffice, http://winsupersite.com/office/apples-iwork-foibles-should-be-warning-microsoft I read an article I found on the web in regards to the new IWORK 2013 suite, which Apple released last week for free to any consumer who purchases a new Apple mac or iOS device. The articles states from a point of view, that Apple had removed features from its previous version desktop office suite to incorporate simplicity and features that were on the same level as its software that it had created on its iOS devices platform and its web apps platform on the internet. The journalist stated in the article that it was a “dumb down approach” towards its previous version of desktop applications and Microsoft Office on the Mac and PC. After reading some of the comments from the article it got me thinking as to how this approach effects Free Office Suites and in particular LibreOffice. I watched a stream from LibreOffice Conference 2013, that was related to running LO on the iOS platform, and on mobile devices. 1. Would LibreOffice remove features in its full desktop suite, if it created a mobile version with less features? 2. Is iWork a threat to free office suites in terms of features, compatibility and free office suites in general? 3. (maybe not related to LO. I may have to ask this question somewhere else.) Why doesn’t Apple iWork suite have Open Document Format Support? (Apart from being a proprietary product.) And i know apple provide textedit as a replacement, so it is not like they don’t know what ODF is. ljelly. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: discuss+unsubscr...@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
Re: [tdf-discuss] Initial Reactions to 4.0.0
Fantastic release. There was an issue with servers yesterday for mac builds. I downloaded the dmg it did not work twice on my connection. I then used the torrent link and the connection was as fast as lightning. It was good to have an alternative. 4.0 is a great release.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Help vendor-lock-in awareness
I think the only way vendor lock in awareness can be achieved on the mac platform. Would be for apple to acknowledge in there license agreement of document software that they do not support ODF formats. And a support documentation that lists a reason why and a discussion link as to what ODF formats are. Such as a the ODF foundation site. Where there could be a list of alternatives for ODF format software for mac users. Or a similar solution to having a description similar to the exe file on the mac that states that it is a windows binary file with a link that is documentation that is then supported with a step process of alternative software. That way users would be aware first of all. Decline apple and its vendor lock in process in the agreement and use an open alternative.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Help vendor-lock-in awareness
I agree. It might even be quicker to download from a website. Users wouldn't first of all have to have an account to download the software. And once it's installed it's ready to go to open most file formats including the best maintained ODF support from LO. One of the solutions, is by spreading the word to users from other users. If a company cannot provide open source standards than users can. If there are more open source users there would be less users using non open source software. It is open to the user to actually use the software for there own needs and requirements. Note: this will also be forwarded back to the discussion list. LJ.

I hope Microsoft Office support Libreoffice file formats the odf formats in there next office release, as then it would help more compatibility issues and problems with files and formatting hopefully being fixed. Microsoft are not the only company that have this problem, working with Apple iwork files also has formatting problems with Calc in Libreoffice when apple convert them to an xls format. i don't understand how that works LibreOffice and Google Docs (Drive) still don't work together sometimes especially with fonts and formatting errors. Although again, its a google issue not an issue with libreoffice. In An Academic environment, I believe the software suite could work, although I am restricted currently at the moment only allowed to use Microsoft Office. I am a student at a school, the thing that annoys me, is when microsoft office lags, and it hangs, on school computers.

Not necessarily. This is not a technical list, so this will probably make the
eyes glaze over for most readers, but still:
As long as only calling new instance methods of existing classes, and adding
new
instance methods to existing subclass implementations (hopefully I got the
Objective-C terminology right) is involved, it can be done quite nicely to be
optional at run-time and compiling fine against the 10.4 SDK.
Example, from my experimental patch to vcl/aqua/source/window/salframe.cxx:
// On 10.7 and later, If the window has a title bar and is
// resizable, we make it full-screenable. The ideal would be to do
// it only for document windows, but how to figure out that?
if (GetSalData()-mnSystemVersion = 0x1070) {
if ((mnStyleMask NSTitledWindowMask)
(mnStyleMask NSResizableWindowMask)) {
// If compiled against a SDK version earlier than 10.7
// NSWindowCollectionBehaviorFullScreenPrimary won't be
// defined so define it ourselves. Note that we can't use
// MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_7 in this #if as such a macro is
// not defined in earlier SDKs...
#if MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED 1070
enum {
NSWindowCollectionBehaviorFullScreenPrimary = (1 7)
};
#endif
int behavior = (int) objc_msgSend(mpWindow, @selector(collectionBehavior));
behavior |= NSWindowCollectionBehaviorFullScreenPrimary;
objc_msgSend(mpWindow, @selector(setCollectionBehavior:), behavior);
}
}
Note the use of objc_msgSend and @selector there. Using normal Objective-C
syntactic sugar and calling [mpWindow collectionBehavior] and [mpWindow
setCollectionBehavior: behavior] would not compile against the 10.4 SDK as
collectionBehavior is present only in the 10.5 SDK and later.
Compiles fine against the 10.4 SDK, works as intended on 10.7. Should work
fine
on earlier OSes, too, but I haven't verified that.

Given that they had 35 people working on it according to their press releases, that was ended up in OOo was basically nonexistent. As you've been with the OOo project for a couple of years you can probably understand that people that were part of OOo project before switching over to TDF/LibreOffice don't have much trust in IBM's lip service. The few times they did contribute, it was code-dumping, far from contributing in a collaborative manner. The accessibility stuff that Rob just mentioned on the apache list has been promised since 2007 and he correctly stated that is is still (considerable) amount of /work/ needed to get it integrated. They dumped it instead of contributing it. To me that's still a difference. The code is against an obsolete branch (OOo 1.1.5 codeline (!)) http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Accessibility/IAccessible2_support I do know this however. There is currently an open invitation for us to get involved. If we get involved, we can have a say in with direction of the project. Not really, as you first have to surrender to the Apache's licence terms. And that alone is reason for me not to join the effort. We can ensure that direction of the project provides the maximum benefit for LibreOffice, which includes any contributions from IBM. Basically, we can get IBM working for us. I really doubt it. What would change for them now, with the permissive licence, that did prevent them in the last 5 years from contributing? They (according to their press release) had massive manpower working on it (35 people), but what ended up in OOo is two code dumps to ancient codeline, one of which being lotuswordprofilter, the other the abovementioned accessibility dump. But before you say: It's not only IBM in the foundation. Then let me ask: Who else is? Oracle is gone for good. The few individual contributers that have enlisted themselves as initial contributers on the apache wiki are to a big extent non-coder. (Not to say that the non-code contributors are not important, that's far from being my point) I currently find 5 people in that list of whom I'd say the have /some/ idea of the code. And two of those already have a focus on a side-project/fork of OOo. So if you ask me who is on the Apache project who is not engaged in TDF/LO, then the only answer is: IBM. (But I'm also well aware that the proposal is new, and there might be more to come, and I'm also aware that to the apache-voting the big picture doesn't matter, they don't care whether it is considered a good idea or not. If there are enough people to run the podling and if IBM can convince them that it is possible to get rid of all the thirdparty stuff that doesn't comply with the strict licencing terms, they will approve it as an incubator project) And I don't really see a point in shifting this perception now that nobody cares who enlists. IMHO you only should enlist yourself if you're really convinced that the Apache Foundation along with its restrictions/limitations and rules, esp. regarding licencing are a good idea, when you actually support the move. If you do, then go ahead and add yourself, I won't question your decision. The only reason on why the TDF should contribute is to why neooffice did join go-oo at the time: To make grabbing their code easier. But that is a very, very weak reason in my opinion. So what I would like to see is an many LibreOffice people at the table as possible. If possible, I would like to see LibreOffice people dominating the Apache OpenOffice community to get as much out of the project as we can. What is the point? If it is run by LO people, what is the benefit of creating another entity instead of letting OOo be what it is (or better was), and instead focusing only on LibreOffice? ciao Christian -- 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 -- 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

Sorry, but what is your point? my point was that it is in my opionon a stupid idea for LO people to sign up as contributors to the incubator proposal just to have a say or now there are no restrictions yet. Once in Apache, there is no discussion about licences anymore. Apache only has its own license and has made it pretty clear numerous times that they won't allow other licenses. Only Oracle could add another license to the mix, but if everyone subscribes to the apache-proposal, and thus shows their support for the apache license, why should Oracle even consider to re-license? So I absolutely don't udnerstand what you're trying to say, especially when you write it as a f'up to my posting. If the reason to not join Apache is because you are holding out hope that Oracle may still one day re-license, then I think you are holding out for a lost, lost hope. Whether OOo lives or dies in Apache, Oracle has made it abundantly clear that this is it...

Re: [tdf-discuss] Observations of LibreOffice and our users..
I'd exactly agree with these statements libreoffice needs to have a end user understanding not a developer understanding.

However, we would like to give you guys some feedbacks from our users regarding the perception of libreoffice. 1) Our members are mostly non-techy and heavy users of word processing features. 2A) Some members falsely believe we are profiting off somehow from this LibreOffice download. 2B) Some members have false perception of LibreOffice somehow paying us to put a link to your site. 3) (2) shows that LibreOffice is a new name with not a widely accepted recognition in the non-tech world. 4) Overall, it's leading to lower adoption that I would like and a general false perception that I did not see with OpenOffice. Recommendations: Please retool the Libreoffice site just a little with more emphasis on the following: 1) Abouse US should not be last item in the menu. LibreOffice has a branding problem and it should be first or second in terms of prioity on the menu. 2) Make the site and especially the download page, which most of us link to, more consumer and not project centric. Right now, the whole site looks very business/corporate like. 3) Emphasis Non-Profit much more. So that new users can differentiate free vs non-profit. There are lots of free software out there that have commerical tie-ins and LibreOffice needs to give more thoughts to this. For example the first sentence of About US page is: LibreOffice is community-driven and developed software which is a project of the not-for-profit organization, The Document Foundation. Why is not-for-profit the last thought of the sentence? Also no mention of free either. This sentence is written for developers and not end-users which is a oversight. Target the end-users first. Developers are smart enough to know who you guys are already. Maybe I'm being too detailed here but overall, I would like LibreOffice to do a better job of presenting itself via the website as a free end-user, consumer friendly software from an non-profit entity. It's more about presentations of LibreOffice to the end-user to give them a comfortable feeling when they visit the site for the first time. The download page is needlessly too complicated for end-users. Don't list sdk or source code builds. End-users have no idea what they are. Perhaps have a end-user/consumer-centric main site and a separate dev.libreoffice.org site. I would recommend a similar approach as taken by sites such as www.getfirefox.com or www.google.com/chrome. Just give them one download link, one logo, one line intro to what it is and that is free, plus a friendly graphics and then a link to find out more if they want to. Just some suggestions. I love the software and would like to help it spread like summer weed. =) Regards, Xing -- 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 -- 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

Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: Libreoffice for Mac
I'd just like to ask the people who are libreoffice contributors for Mac. Mac Osx lion apparently has full screen apps integration can we see something similar in libreoffice on mac Osx lion in the future or before the release of lion? Laurence.

As to whether LibO will be adapted specifically to take account of Mac OSX Lion's latest and greatest developments / functions, that would seem unlikely if the build baseline remains Tiger, since many functions have been introduced by Apple post-Tiger that do not work with that release of the OS.
