[board-discuss] Re: nominating Volker Merschmann for the Board of Directors
Hi, 2013/11/27 Florian Effenberger flo...@documentfoundation.org I hereby nominate Volker Merschmann as a candidate for the next Board of Directors. Volker has been a volunteer of the project ever since, with many contributions to the website and the project's public representation. In all his doings, Volker has always considered the needs of localization, documentation and other native language groups, and has a wide view on the interests and requirements of the community. Within LibreOffice specifically, Volker has been a strong contributor to our wiki, which is a key tool for collaboration. He is bringing in his time and experience not only to help editing wiki content and bringing structure to it, but also with guiding new users and helping to combat spam - as such, he has been a great support for the community. Being located in Germany, Volker has also contributed to the local marketing project, supporting the community on events like the CeBIT in Hannover. I enjoyed working with Volker for nearly a decade now, during which I met him as trustworthy, honest, reliable, experienced and confident community member. For the new challenges TDF has to face, for developing it further, and for including the wider community and their interest in this process, I think he would be an ideal candidate for the next board, representing the community, and I hope he accepts this nomination. Thx Florian for the nomination. It is an honour for me. I hereby accept my nomination as a candidate. Full Name: Volker Merschmann Mail: merschm...@gmail.com no corporate affiliation Most things about my life in and with OOo/LO/TDF have been told by the nomination above. In my other life I am working as a structural engineer in Hannover, Germany. Although this deals with the computer all day calculating all the houses, bridges, etc., there is no relation to LO/TDF in my work. So I would like to participate in the board as a member of the wider non-technical community. There are a lot of people around at the mailing-lists, wiki and so on, who are doing the small bits at the farer edges of the project. They do not know how to write a patch, compiling the whole thing or even just editing a web page. But they are valuable parts of the project, should be heard, and therefore represented.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Suggestion: Open to last edited page
Hi, 2012/1/7 ScCrow libreoff...@isildo.com: I did not find this in my searches or anything in the LibreOffice options. So, sorry if its there and I just did not find it. I would like for a document (any document) to open to the last page that I was on when I closed it. I have a large document. When I go back, I always have to locate where I left off work. I started just never closing the document, which I dont like to do. So, to me it would be a nice feature, and I would think, easy to add. I realize it may go to the last page I edited, not the last page I was viewing. Thats ok with me, still, either or both would be a good added feature. I remember we have had this feature in a former OOo-version, but I do not remember why it has been dropped. Maybe related to a change in the ODF-format. Anybody else?

Because it has not been dropped. It behaves just as in OOo: When the data in user-data doesn't match the data in the document properties (or is empty), this means for LO → open at first page. If user-data is filled out (Name), and it matches the document properties (creted/saved by), then it will open at saved cursor position, i.e. last edit position. Maybe related to a change in the ODF-format. Nope, nothing like that. Thank you for clarification.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Mirrors : Australia.
Hi, 2011/5/19 Laurence Jeloudev ljelou...@gmail.com: Speaking about mirrors Libreoffice should be able to have a mirror on mirror.aarnet.edu.au as it is unmetered for Telstra customers in Australia and open-office has one as well. Another benefit is that it is very fast for customers in Australia or New Zealand to get libreoffice. The admin of this system can offer a mirror anytime on the mirrors-mailinglist: mirr...@documentfoundation.org Thx Volker -- ++ Volker Merschmann - Member of The Document Foundation - http://documentfoundation.org -- 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] German Foreign Office is dropping only open source software policy
Hi, 2011/5/13 plino pedl...@gmail.com: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/227849/open_source_advocates_angry_at_german_govt_decision.html This isn't even about OpenOffice vs LibreOffice... It's about Closed Source vs Open Source TBH I think it was a bad move to change radically if you have experienced and productive users trained on whatever program (regardless of the license). Also, if you need professional support you can't just move to Open Source, let alone a Linux distro that was still being developed... Could it be that it took them 6 years to realize that? There were much articles about this in the german press these days and the government has to answer some questions which had been asked from the opposition in parliament. The main problem was that the OpenSource strategy was half-hearted as the end-user had to work with dual-boot systems, some applications on Windows, some on Linux. Also the guidance was poor and the apps did not get updated for years. So the endusers in the diplomatic services got displeased more and more, but the responsible persons in the administration choose the wrong way out. This is the short version, you can read a bit more at the H : http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/German-Foreign-Office-explains-open-source-elimination-1241804.html Bye Volker -- ++ Volker Merschmann - Member of The Document Foundation - http://documentfoundation.org -- 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] LibreOffice 3.4 Beta 4 download broken?
H Bernhard, 2011/5/9 Krabina Bernhard krab...@kdz.or.at: I get the following error trying to download: 403 Forbidden The requested URL '/pub/tdf/libreoffice/testing/3.4.0-beta4/win/x86/LibO_3.4.0beta4_Win_x86_install' resolves to a file which is marked executable but is not a CGI file; retrieving it is forbidden. Thanks for reporting. The download server has a loadbalancer to the mirror network installed, so your download does not come from libreoffice.org directly. Can you please provide the complete link, so that we can see which server had the problem?

Re: [steering-discuss] call from CW 15 online

Not everybody is willing to hear the whole stream for tracking the information, some might even not be able to understand all. The minutes from the last call at 2011-04-06 are still missing, please start there.

Re: [steering-discuss] libreoffice.org e-mail accounts
Hi, 2011/1/16 Charles-H.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Bug in LibreOffice RC2 (Impress)
Hi Regina, 2011/1/5 Regina Henschel rb.hensc...@t-online.de: I have written http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=116318 BTW: How to handle issues, which are not specific to LibreOffice? I don't like writing issues twice. I think this has to be done from the point when we are leaving the OOo-Codeline behind us. At the moment you should watch the issue if it can become a blocker for the OOo release. If not, it might be necessary to fix it in LO separately.

Re: [tdf-discuss] [MAILING LIST] interim structuring - a proposal
Hi Thorsten, 2010/10/4 Thorsten Behrens t...@documentfoundation.org: Cor Nouws wrote: Also I think QA@ is a good thing. I think I fundamentally disagree on this one - the interface between QA and Dev is incredibly huge, I'd even venture the proposition that ideally there's no difference (in core competencies - maybe there is one in attitude ;)) - at any rate, the chasm between the OpenOffice project's QA and Dev teams is something I *do not* want to transplant into our new project. Ideally, I want QA folks to take notice if the Devs start debating details of specific features, and conversely, I want Devs to take notice of QA talking about specific problem areas in the product. But you should also be aware that there are much qa-people which are doing just testing. These are not so technical and wouldn't like to read or even understand the things on the dev-list. And there is much organisational stuff around the testing which wouldn't interest the developers.
