[tdf-discuss] Running for a BoD-Seat at the TDF

2011-09-28 Thread Andreas Mantke
Hi all,

I'll announce my candidacy for a Board of Directors seat at The Document 
Foundation

Who am I?

I'm  Andreas Mantke, 52 years old, maried and father of two boys. I live in 
Duisburg, 
North-Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. I work for a social security institution 
called 
Deutsche Rentenversicherung Rheinland in Düsseldorf. I'm there an office-worker 
and 
had to deal with rules and regulations. Thus I'm very familiar with the German 
law.

I worked since autumn 2002 for the community of OpenOffice.org. I was there 
responsible for the documentation inside the German speaking lang-project for a 
long 
time and started the work on OpenOffice.org Portable there. I wrote also some 
documentation myself, that were published on ther projects website.
I worked with the OOo-extensions-site-project since it's beginning and upgraded 
the 
OOoAuthors-Site to a new Plone environment. I gave also some presentations 
about 
OpenOffice.org (Portable) at conferences and other events and run some bothes 
together with other project members. I'm with TDF and LibreOffice since it's 
announcement.

I'm one of the founders of the German association Freies Office Deutschland 
e.V., but 
I have no special role there.


What have I done for TDF / LibreOffice?

I continued my work with presentations and running both together with other 
project 
members. Thus we had a both at the Open Rhein Ruhr in Oberhausen and at the 
Cebit in 
Hannover. I set up a new environment for the former OOoAuthors-team (now 
ODFAuthors) 
and the German speaking documentation team. I did also some Easy Hacks on the 
LibreOffice code base (especially translation of comments).
Currently I'm working on the new LibreOffice extensions and template repository 
and 
cooperate there with the Plone community.

Why do I candidate for a seat in BoD?

I'm very convinced that we need an open source and free software office suite 
and 
that this development should be done under the hat of our own independent 
meritocratic organisation. Thus I'm supporting The Document Foundation from is 
announcement.  If I'll be a member of the board, I'll work together with the 
other 
board members to shape and grow up the foundation. I think that I could also 
help 
with the paperwork, especially in relation to German authorities, because I 
have some 
experience with this from my daily job and know the German language well ;-).

If you have questions, please ask.

Cheers,
Andreas

If this is talking about the future, I wonder, why you jump into this thread.

We had a public discussion and decision of the BoD already. If there are no 
unknown 
facts or new arguments, we should not discuss and decide again (and again).

Point 2 would be a nice job ;-(
Maybe we will also hear some complaints, if someone missed to send a mail in 
time.

I think we should invite every contributor to apply for a membership status and 
then 
he / she could vote for the venue of the conferences 2013 and later. It would 
be good 
to increase our member base.

Andreas

We can discuss that for the next round; maybe there are better solutions / 
proposals.

My question is only, why we open up the discussion now (and not after the 
voting). 
The BoD had discussed the topic and decided about it in public. Everyone had 
the 
oportunity to bring up his arguments before the decision.

Reaily, you didn't got it.
I meant the job for the receiver of the mails (Florian?). I won't volunteer for 
the 
job to read all of this mails, decide to give the voting rights and put the 
mail-
writer into a list or the environment for voting. That's a really nice job and 
the 
proposal should also contain the proposal for volunteering for the job ;-)

Right. But if you want to vote only for the location of the next LibreOffice 
conference, where you will not attend, because your commitment is not longer 
than the 
day you write your mail or maybe the end of the voting, why should you get any 
voting 
rights?

It should be a conference, organized from the LibreOffice community for the 
community 
and we set rules that support this goal. But we should discuss the topic after 
this 
voting and in front of the next voting. We had to start the current voting very 
soon, 
thus the organizers for 2012 have enough time to prepare the conference.

Andreas

[tdf-discuss] Ways to collect Money for Attendance at Conferences / Hackfests etc.

2012-02-06 Thread Andreas Mantke
Hi all,

I came in a discussion with a core member of another OpenSource community 
(Plone) 
across the topic of collecting money for members that want to attend at a 
Conference 
or a Sprint (we call that Hackfest) and give there a presentation or work with 
others 
on a topic. She told me that the member runs a ChipIn then and regularly get 
the 
needed travel expenses.

Yesterday I read about such a sucessfull chipin. A member want to attend the 
Plone 
conference in San Francisco and give a presentation:
http://www.martinaspeli.net/articles/plone-the-generous-community
and the site to collect money for this travel:
http://frapell.chipin.com/go-to-ploneconf

You could read about the idea and conditions at:
http://frapell.chipin.com/go-to-ploneconf

Maybe this could be a way to get more member / contributors from outside Europe 
to 
our next conference and give a presentation there or participate in the event 
(or if 
Europeans want to participate in an event or LibreOffice conference / Hackfest 
outside Europe).

Opinions?

Regards,
Andreas

[tdf-discuss] LibreOffice Conference Management System

2012-04-21 Thread Andreas Mantke
Hi all,

first excuse me for crossposting, but I want to get more volunteers
aware of this topic and involved in it. The follow up discussion should
be on the website mailing list.

The second LibreOffice conference in Berlin is from time not so far
away. I know that the team of the first conference in Paris get not the
chance to create and use a conference management tool for all the work
around the conference. E.g. the workflow for the call for papers was
done by a form on our website that send an email to the organizers team.
The presenter had no chance to view his paper later or make some
additions etc. to it. Thus we should find a conference management system
to help the Berlin-Team (and the teams for the conferences 2013 etc.)
managing the conference more easy and get a workflow for the cfp.

I'm keen to know, if someone has experience with one or more CMS and
could recommend one. Maybe we should create a wiki page with a feature
matrix.

I'm currently evaluating the environment that had been used for the
Plone conference 2011 in San Francisco. I don't know yet, if there are
some new features for the Plone conference 2012 in Arnhem. I hope to get
an update soon.

I know also the system a bit that is used to manage the cfp / lecture
program and the accomodation for the LinuxTag (http://linuxtag.org). But
I don't know yet, how difficult it would be to adapt it to our needs
(and website).

Regards,
Andreas

two weeks, at the 15th August, 11.59 pm. If you have a topic you want to
speak about please log-in to the conference website and submit your
paper. We have a short explanation about the process to get your paper
onto the website: http://conference.libreoffice.org/support-information.


Topics for the conference this year are:

  * Open Document Format (ODF) Track
  * Interoperability
  * LibreOffice - Development and the future: Technology, API, Extensions
  * Community-Track: Localization, Documentation, etc.

submit it for review to the program commitee once it is finished, but in
time before the CfP closed) ;-)

We are looking for your papers!

Regards,
Andreas

currently the color of the watermark and the font/typeface are hard

I approved your extension. But you didn't add a downloadable file to
your release yet. Could you please upload the extension file and publish
or republish your release afterwards?

A short notice: the extension and template site project is a volunteer
project, driven only in the spare time. It's always possible to join the
team and help with the site.

Re: [tdf-discuss] outdated LibreOffice Portable (MS Windows)

2019-03-25 Thread Andreas Mantke
Hello,

instead of the winpenpack project the portableapps project has links to
the TDF infrastructure. They have a download link to:
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/portable/

I think the downloads from that URL will be counted in the TDF stats. I
don't know, if TDF got also the stats from the other download URL of
portableapps. Maybe the TDF admin team could ask John T. Haller about
such stats, if they are not already in TDF's hands.

And for the question about current versions: it needs always voluteers
that do the work and get some positive feedback and support in return.

Kind regards,
Andreas

Re: [tdf-discuss] outdated LibreOffice Portable (MS Windows)

2019-03-25 Thread Andreas Mantke
Hello,

and if you look for the source code of their portable LibreOffice
version (6.2.1), you are directed to
https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpenpack/files/X-LibreOffice/program_sources/.
And the latest source code published there is: 5.3.3. And nothing about
LibreOffice 5.4, 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2.

And if you download the release file in an obscure zip-file-format, you
are not able with the usual tools to extract it and look into it.
Maybe there is an issue with the license regulations.

Seemed this is caused by an issue with the download. The 6.1.4 release
could be opened with the usual tools.

Kind regards,

Re: [tdf-discuss] outdated LibreOffice Portable (MS Windows)

2019-03-25 Thread Andreas Mantke
Hello,

I had a further and closer look onto the portableapps website and had to
amend: both download links go to the TDF infrastructure.

And the webpage contains a prominent link to the TDF donation page.

I don't see something similar on the winpenpack website.

Andreas

seemed the current board has no issue with this statement and
accusation, because there is no reply from any of its members yet.

If the board accepts the statement, that could have some impact on the
status of the foundation.

[tdf-discuss] More Attacks On Employees And Inappropriate Behavior Of The Chair (was: [VOTE] Technical Budgeting Procedure)

2023-07-12 Thread Andreas Mantke

Hi Community,

Unfortunately, it seems posts get frequently flagged in the
board-discuss forum, where currently also the behavior of some board
members is criticized and discussed. I hate this form of limiting
discussions and censorship. It's not appropriate to a free software project.


Hi Thorsten, hi all,

   Hi Paolo,

   PaoloVecchi:

   Is the decision to send out that vote with those issues your own
   or it has been taken by the “shadow board”?

   It is ok to disagree with the policy (although a lot of effort went
   into drafting it). But “shadow board”, really? Next thing will be
   you accusing staff of being the “deep state”?


the last sentence is offensive towards Paolo and all members of staff.

I personally (with some experience in people’s management) wouldn’t even
have thought about such a labeling of members of staff.

The above sentence seemed to show the real view of the author on the
members of staff. And it shows that he expects a bad person behind every
corner. That is no ground for building a winning team.

Your repeated bad (and not only inappropriate) behavior towards people
with other opinions, including the members of TDF staff, is already
sufficient and broad documented and confirmed by many community members.

No community could and should tolerate such behavior. In any company or
institution, you would have been released of your management duties
immediately, to protect people’s mental (and physical) health and
well-being.

It is a shame and not in any case tolerable, that the majority of the
board, except Paolo and Emiliano (who are not members of the ‘shadow
board’) are not taking actions immediately.

If some of the members of the ‘shadow board’ own a spark of integrity,
they could prove that now and take the necessary actions immediately.

Andreas

[tdf-discuss] Board elections and a Pledge for LibreOffice

2023-12-08 Thread Andreas Mantke

Hello everyone,

As some of you may know, the Foundation's board election is currently
taking place.

A group of community members from different countries and continents
have come together and made a pledge for LibreOffice.

Sophie Gautier, who you know from the international project, has
nominated the individual candidates. [1] All of them accepted the
candidacy and signed the pledge for LibreOffice:
- Sophie Gautier, from the French community,
- Eliane Domingos, from the Brazilian community,
- Osvaldo Gervasi, from the Italian community,
- Paolo Vecchi, from the Italian community,
- Jean-Baptiste Faure, from the French community,
- Franklin Weng, from the Taiwanese community,
- Daniel Rodriguez, from the Argentinian community,
- Mike Saunders, from the German community,
- myself (Andreas Mantke) from the German community,
- Jean-François Nifenecker, from the French community and
- Enio Gemmo, from the Italian community.

You can find the pledge at
https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/D5drr8Hbom6tYTD.

If you have any questions, please contact me. We, the signatories and
candidates, would be delighted to work with you to shape the future of
the Foundation and return the TDF to its golden age.

I wish you all a great weekend.

Kind regards,
Andreas

there are a lot of not proprietary pdf reading programms available, that ca

In my opinion there is currently no need to develop such a function inside
LO.

If you want to get both, you can use the PDF-Import-Extension. You can crea

[tdf-discuss] tdf-wiki: tasks

2010-10-10 Thread Andreas Mantke
Hi,

because there are a lot of discussions and a lot of emails on the 
tdf-/libreOffice-
lists, open tasks, that need some volunteers, disappear relatively fast due to 
the 
other stuff that are heavily debated on the lists. Because we get our own wiki 
now, 
we should use this to write down every task that needs a volunteer. I created a 
"torso" page where everybody is invite to collect such tasks. Then we can point 
volunteers to this site.

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Tasks

Because it's a wiki, everybody is invited to enhance the site ;-)

this is because LibreOffice and the TDF are build on the contribution of the 
members. 
The people, which are doing the work, decide about the things they are doing 
for LO 
and the TDF.

But you yourself had to decide first, what you want to contribute to which 
community 
(OOo or LO). We need people who are doing the daily work. We need not another 
mega-
thread on this list.

Read the other mails from the members of the TDF and LibreOffice. I have not 
the time 
to repeat anything. I'll contribute in my sparetime, not only write mails and 
steal 
the time of other members of the community.

So if you want to be a member of LibreOffice also go ahead and decide, what you 
can 
do for the community and contribute.

I think this will not improve our current situation. We need a group of people 
with 
deep knowledge (from their work with the community of OOo) about the different 
parts 
of the whole project and have the power to establish the foundation that serves 
the 
needs of the whole community / project. We don't have the time to change the 
horses 
during this process. This will lead to a waste of time, because the people of 
the new 
(moral) ESC / BoD had to start the discussion about the foundation (and the 
best way 
to establish it) from the beginning.

And a bit  for your health ;-) 
We - the contributors - are all *morally* currently members of LibreOffice. We 
don't 
need a membership commitee yet.

Andreas

But you should think about it, because the last OOo Portable was created upon

later 
versions of OOo (and LibO).

[tdf-discuss] Crash with LibreOffice 3.3.2rc1-Impress

2011-03-12 Thread Andreas Mantke
Hi all,

I get an crash with LibreOffice 3.3.2rc1in the modul Impress if I create in my 
presentation a new slide (layout title and field with a listing. I change to 
the 
outline view and copy the outline from another presentation (beginning with the 
listing and ending with the title and the listing of a second slide) into the 
listing 
of my current presentation. Impress crashed short after this action.

I explored the situation a bit and tried again with a title in the new slide 
(of my 
current presentation) and every thing works. In my opinion the crash is caused 
from 
the missing title of the new slide.

My environment: openSuSE 11.3-x64, KDE 4.4.4, LibreOffice 3.3.2-x64-rc1.

you don't write about the version of LibreOffice (and the environment: OS etc.)

I tried with LibreOffice 3.3.2-x64-rc1 on openSUSE 11.3-x64 KDE 4.4.4 and I
