If yes, then preferably the same change as for the https://incubator.apache.org/projects/odftoolkit.html could be made. Should we send a patch?

Apache ODF Toolkit (retired) migration to TDF
Dear people, one of your committers (Michael Stahl, in Cc) last year asked to migrate the retired ODF Toolkit project over to the Document Foundation, which TDF would be happy to accept. Volunteers from various sides have helped moving stuff; a few things are though still left to do, thus this mail to the wider incubator audience (ordered from more important to less important): 1. transfer of the domain odftoolkit.org from ASF to TDF (or perhaps a redirect if a transfer takes a while?) - Florian Effenberger (in Cc) would be happy to support that from the admin / technical side 2. adding a pointer from the ASF website https://incubator.apache.org/projects/odftoolkit.html to the new TDF website for the project, such that people looking for it still find the active project: - perhaps also adjusting other references, e.g. README in the code repo archive at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/trunk/README.txt - or are all those resources not preserved beyond a transition period? 3. if bugtracker, mailing list archives and the like are _not_ preserved or archived somewhere - if TDF could get a copy of at least the public part of that data for some continuity in development? 4. adding a pointer on the github repository https://github.com/apache/odftoolkit to point to the new git repository at https://github.com/tdf/odftoolkit (if not removed anyway at some stage) All the best, -- Thorsten signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [VOTE] Accept OpenOffice.org for incubation
-1 (non-binding) As stated elsewhere [1], this incubator, combined with the disruption and delay it's causing to the OOo ecosystem, does not add enough unique value to what we already have a TDF to justify the effort. (I'm referring to the existing proposal's mission statement [2], not to the (quite sensible) visions invididuals have presented here) [1] http://blog.thebehrens.net/2011/06/11/licensing-questions-and-the-ecosystem/ [2] http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenOfficeProposal#Proposal Cheers, -- Thorsten pgpCzgEcfSDnv.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Code covered by the Oracle grant
Simon Brouwer wrote: The real question is whether anything essential is missing that Oracle can't supply and that is very difficult to replace. If you re-read Christian's mail, the answer to both is yes. And another remark: given the overall state of the code (~20 years of sedimentation), the full project history is of great value, when one tries to figure out how one specific piece of code came to pass. All of that makes starting off from the hg repo appear desirable ... Cheers, -- Thorsten pgpq88WY4oiKs.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Code covered by the Oracle grant
Mathias Bauer wrote: I don't think that this is really necessary *now*, as we can do that even better and more efficiently when we actually work on the code from the svn repository. It was promised that the needed files will be provided once they are known. I'm confident that this will work out. Hi Mathias, hm, that bears the risk of missing stuff, and having to redo the work - potentially rather late in the game (on top of having to replace all non-Oracle-owned code). Whereas getting a blanket statement from Oracle (here we grant you the hg repo bundle) admittedly puts some risk into Oracle's basket. Surely asking for the latter would be favourable for Apache, and therefore something to at least try? Cheers, -- Thorsten pgpjuTs4uMZXZ.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: OpenOffice.org Apache Incubator Proposal: Splitting the Community?
robert_w...@us.ibm.com wrote: I'd like to challenge your assertion here, about splitting the community, a nonsensical meme I'm hearing repeated in several venues. Hi Rob - well, are you happier then with perpetuating the split? As it doesn't fundamentally change the matter - this was a missed opportunity to reunite. It'll bind considerable resources to bootstrap a new community here - resources that are better spent enhancing the code marketing OOo and ODF, if you ask me ...
