Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Development will branch off of 7.6 on Jun 5. Please communicate the next version number

Please clarify. I don't see any problem whatsoever with the shorter 24.2. I'm quite sure the project will be able to transition to the latest versioning fad before 2099. The one that fits best developemnt: 24.2 or 2024.2 are the same for marketing. Stephan Bergmann has expressed a concern about 24.2, and I answered accordingly. Marketing is meant to change perceptions, and in this case the change from 24.2 to 2024.2 doesn't change the perception of a calendar based release number. By the way, I think that the distinction between "fresh" and "still" is now obsolete and can be deprecated. Unfortunately, that is wishful marketing speak. Regressions are still a huge concern. The distinction is absolutely relevant, and always will be. Of course, but relating the two versions to software stability - the names "fresh" and "still" were created to counteract the campaign against LibreOffice, supported by IBM and mostly voiced by the Italian AOO community (there wasn't any other AOO community apart from the one in Italy) - has been perceived by users as "LibreOffice has stability issues" which is still used by some people against LibreOffice. Luckily, this campaign is now over, and AOO has no energy and manpower to restart it (nor the AOO community, which has disappeared). The reality is that, apart from regressions, the last version of LibreOffice is as stable as the previous one, and as the majority of users doesn't know the concept of bugs and regressions (because they are never mentioned by Microsoft, which is the reference for the office suite market) we have the opportunity of repositioning the two versions as targeted to different clusters of users: technology savvy users for the newer version, and normal users for the previous version. This means that we revert a negative perception (LibreOffice has to provide two versions of the software because of stability issues) into a positive and unique advantage: LibreOffice provides a version optimized for different users, based on the different level of maturity of the underlying LibreOffice Technology platform. LibreOffice Technology, being a development platform and not a product, can have different maturity levels, according to the number of tests and reviews performed by development and quality assurance. For users, this will mean choosing between the most feature rich and the most tested versions of the software. All this will be explained in a white paper, and summarized in a slide deck which will be presented at the LibreOffice Conference. -- Italo Vignoli - it...@vignoli.org mobile/signal +39.348.5653829 hangout/jabber italo.vign...@gmail.com GPG Key ID - 0xAAB8D5C0 DB75 1534 3FD0 EA5F 56B5 FDA6 DE82 934C AAB8 D5C0

We have dropped that distinction since LibreOffice 7.0 when we have announced new major and minor releases, and is now time to position the two versions in relation to users and not to LibreOffice (technology savvy vs normal users). * Some places in the code rely on version numbers being strictly monotonically increasing based on a lexicographical ordering of their dotted version number segments.

oever. Italo, you said we are perceived as a "real innovator"; well, when a real innovator starts having hollow version number bumping, that perception fades. Finally, everyone who likes the marketing potential of version 8 - great, but - keep that benefit for when we have a significant step forward to celebrate. Don't squander it.

Let's assume that the real situation is "boring" (I'm not sure that's the case, but still) and that, indeed, the changes since 7 are not fundamental enough to merit a version bump on their own (and I realize this is not in consensus either). In this state of affairs, evoking artificial interest in a new major version without substance behind it is a _marketing trick_, a psychological manipulation. One could even say it's mis-informing our users. It hurts user trust. Sure, it's not terrible to play with version numbers, but - I don't think that's something our users, current and potential, would like us to do. All major releases of Microsoft Office are managed by marketing, as all major releases of proprietary software and hardware companies, and not by developers, and are based on what you call "marketing tricks". By the way, marketing is a profession - as development - which is based on a specific professional background, and on a mindset which is 100% different from the mindset of a developer. This is probably the reason why developers, and in general people with a strong technical background, do not understand marketing and consider it useless. Marketing is the opposite of science, and is based on behaviour analisys (which is the "least scientific" science, although some people are trying to "smuggle" it as science). I have been a marketing executive for the last 42 years (since 1981), and the best marketing strategies I have managed during that time have been based on gut feelings (including the launch of Photoshop and PDF, when I was a marketing consultant for Adobe, and they both were huge success). Given that Microsoft Office's market share is well over 50%, it looks like users of office suites do like marketing tricks. Please remember that around 98% of users are not able to judge features. I am not contributing to QA for a very simple reason: I am not able to understand if the software behaviour is right or wrong (unless is clear as in the case of font embedding in macOS), and this is because I am not interested in technical details but I look at the wider picture. Even if I am technically illiterate, outside the open source environment I am considered a geek because I usually am more competent than 98% of "normal" software users. It should be clear that 80% (and probably more) of what we communicate is targeted to "normal" software users, and not to community members or to people with a technical background, who are already using LibreOffice (or refuse to use it for technical reasons). They are not our target, given that office suites are commodities. Our target is mis-informed and mis-educated by Microsoft, but doesn't realize it. On the contrary, they trust Microsoft more than they trust open source software. -- Italo Vignoli - it...@vignoli.org mobile/signal +39.348.5653829 hangout/jabber italo.vign...@gmail.com GPG Key ID - 0xAAB8D5C0 DB75 1534 3FD0 EA5F 56B5 FDA6 DE82 934C AAB8 D5C0

No one will dig deeply enough to get to that conclusion, and those who might do are our friends and as such would support the narrative.

Re: Libreoffice issue reporting
The development mailing list is not the right place to ask questions about LibreOffice behaviour or features. There is a "get help" link on the website, which lists all the options available to end users. Issues have to be reported on Bugzilla, but in this case it is not an issue but a badly formatted file. In fact, the file was not created in the right way and as a consequence shows in a random way on different PCs (for instance, on my LibreOffice 7.4.1 for Linux it showed 7 images instead of 1 on your PC). When you have different images in the same block of text, you have to anchor them "as character" and not "to character", which is the default choice (right click on the image, anchor as character). When anchored as characters, the 10 pictures show one after the other. On 9/29/22 19:36, Paolo Barattini wrote: HI I cannot find a way to report an issue.

IMPORTANT UPDATE LibreOffice Conference
We apologize for being silent about LibreOffice Conference 2022, but we have had significant but unforeseeable logistic issues in Bolzano when we have looked for available hotel rooms. Even the local tourism authority has not been able to find more than a handful of rooms available for the last week of September, definitely not enough for the number of attendees we are expecting. Luckily, there are other beautiful cities in Italy. To avoid similar issues, we have decided to explore Milan, as the number of conference venues and hotel rooms is so large that chances of finding somethig suitable was definitely higher. In fact, we have found a beautiful conference space right behind Piazza del Duomo at Fondazione Culturale San Fedele, right in the center of the city, and rooms in hotels close to the metro (which reaches Piazza del Duomo). The conference will represent an opportunity to visit Milan, which is one of Italy's most beautiful cities. We will share all logistic details before July 15. Together with the logistic details, we will share infos about places to see, and food & drinks to enjoy. The dates of the conference have not changed: we will start on September 28 with community meetings, while the conference will be on September 29 and 30 (full day), and will close in the morning of October 1st. People who want to attend the event can start looking at flights to one of Milan's three airports: Milan Linate (LIN), Milan Malpensa (MXP) and Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY). Milan can be reached by high-speed train from Paris, and with long-distance trains from most of Europe. As soon as we share logistic details, we also suggest people to look for hotel rooms based on the list of affordable hotels close to the metro we are putting together. Most of the hotels will be rather small, as large hotels are usually quite expensive. Milan has a rather large metro network, and public transport which get almost everywhere. To get around the city with public transport, we use the Moovit smartphone app, which is quite helpful. Taxis are extremely expensive, and should be used only for emergencies (NEVER from and to airports, as there are cheap bus services). Looking forward to meeting the community in Milan, nine years after 2013 LibOCon hosted by the University of Milan.

Re: Question about LibreOffice installation
LibreOffice is using a common transactional engine for all the modules, and as such all modules have to be installed. The concept is completely different from Microsoft Office, where each program has been developed by a different group of people (in one case by a different company) and has been "forced" into the same package. LibreOffice tight integration is a huge advantage over Microsoft Office in term of consistency of behaviour, robustness, and interoperability. You can learn more by reading the LibreOffice Technology white paper: https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/libreoffice-technology/ Best regards.

LibreOffice Technology DevRoom ("Advantages of LibreOffice Technology",
"Why ODF is a better standard than OOXML", and "LibreOffice 7.3 New
Features"), one talk for the Legal DevRoom ("Why the pandemic could help
FOSS, but was a win for proprietary software"), and one talk for FOSDEM
Main Track ("Strategies and tactics to make a community managed FOSS
project sustainable in the medium to long term").
Promoting ODF and LibreOffice Technology is one of my tasks, but I can't
be alone in doing so. Looking forward to your contributions.
Best, Italo

Re: FOSDEM DevRoom
There was a bug in Penta, with search not working for tracks. We have 9
talks submitted, which is better than 3 but still not enough.

Hi Miklos, unfortunately "presentation" means the pre-recorded video. The deadline was in the call for papers, but I am trying to convince FOSDEM people to ease that deadline a bit.

Re: [Libreoffice-qa] hi, i find high bug for calc 6.2 until 6.4 (factory)
Ciao Manuel, come stai? Sono contento di vedere che continui a usare LibreOffice. Per prima cosa, proviamo a riprodurre il bug per verificare che il problema sia lo stesso su tutti i sistemi, e non solo con KDE. Come ti ha scritto Ilmari, che non ti conosce, i bug bisognerebbe inserirli su Bugzilla, che però non è facile da utilizzare. Per questo motivo noi consigliamo agli utenti italiani di scrivere a questa mailing list: us...@it.libreoffice.org, descrivendo il problema, perché possiamo inserirlo noi dopo aver fatto una prima verifica.

As a Mac user, I would strongly oppose this approach, also because there is a workaround which has been published on TDF blog and we are using to help users asking for support (with positive feedback). Of course, we could add a link to the workaround to the download page to make it more prominent and reduce the number of emails for support, even if they do not represent a heacy burden (I am the person who answers the majority of those emails). -- Italo Vignoli - it...@vignoli.org mobile/signal +39.348.5653829 - skype italovignoli hangout/jabber italo.vign...@gmail.com GPG Key ID - 0xAAB8D5C0 DB75 1534 3FD0 EA5F 56B5 FDA6 DE82 934C AAB8 D5C0 ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

Even if we do not spot the closer of the 4th bug, we can make some noise on media by distributing a press release which underlines the QA activity at LibreOffice (adding some QA statistics, and Coverity Scan numbers, which are a nice addition).

[Libreoffice-qa] Second Bug Hunting Session for LibreOffice 5.3
LibreOffice 5.3 will be announced at the end of January 2017, with a large number of new features which are summarized on the release notes page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.3. In order to find, report and triage bugs, the QA team is organizing a second bug hunting session on Friday, November 25, 2016. Tests will be performed on the Beta version of LibreOffice 5.3, which will be available on the pre-releases server (http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/) a few days before the event. Builds will be available for Linux (DEB and RPM), MacOS and Windows, and will run in parallel with the production version. Mentors will be available on November 25, 2016, from 8AM UTC to 10PM UTC. Of course, hunting bugs will be possible also on other days, as the builds of this particular Beta release (LibreOffice 5.3.0 Beta1) will be available until mid December. During the day there will be two dedicated sessions: the first to chase bugs on the main LibreOffice modules between 3PM UTC and 5PM UTC, and the second to test a set of the top 7 features between 5PM UTC and 7PM UTC. All details of the second bug hunting session are available on the specific wiki page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHuntingSession/5.3.0Beta1. During the dedicated sessions, we will concentrate all efforts to chase and reproduce the bugs, in order to confirm and file them in a more comprehensive way. Of course, the more comprehensive will be the bug report, the easier will be for the developers to solve the bugs in time for the final release.

Re: [Libreoffice-qa] Performance regression of Impress file opening in LO5 OSX
On 22/04/15 18:46, Alexander Thurgood wrote: As I don't use Impress much, in fact hardly at all, I can not say, but definitely with the docuent provided in the bug, LO5 is as slow as a snail (as timed in my experiments). And yes, I agree with you that it appears to be the rendering that takes up the most time - the question is why ? Even for your tests, a time difference comparison of 5 for LO4 to 40s for LO5 is a significant loss in performance. Being a long time Mac user, and a heavy Impress user, I can tell that every pre-release of OOo and LibreOffice - since 2006 - has been slower than the final release, which seems to be the case for LibreOffice 5.0 as well. In this case, though, we have the additional burden of the operating system, as OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) has a number of problems per se, and there is a large number of applications behaving improperly or slowing down significantly either at launch or at shut down (for instance, Thunderbird takes ages to close). I will make tests on the less powerful Mac (the one I am using now is the top of the MacBook line, with 16GB of RAM, an eight core processor and a fast SSD, and tends to be always faster than anything else). The other MacBook is a more standard PC, with 4GB of RAM and a dual core processor, and is representing a larger number of user cases. I have hundreds of presentations on my hard disk, so I will make tests with different cases: native ODP, imported PPT saved as ODP, imported PPTX saved as ODP, etcetera. -- Italo Vignoli - Marketing PR mobile +39.348.5653829 - email / jabber it...@libreoffice.org hangout / jabber italo.vign...@gmail.com - skype italovignoli GPG Key ID - 0xAAB8D5C0 DB75 1534 3FD0 EA5F 56B5 FDA6 DE82 934C AAB8 D5C0 ___ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/

[Libreoffice-qa] FOSDEM Call for Paper
FOSDEM 15 will be held at the ULB Campus Solbosch on Saturday, January 31, and Sunday, February 1st, 2015. Open document editors are coming again to FOSDEM with a shared devroom which gives every project in this area a chance to present ODF related developments and innovations. The devroom is jointly organized by Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice. We invite submission of talks for the Open Document Editors devroom, to be held on Saturday, January 31, from 10AM to 6PM. Length of talks should be limited to 20 minutes, as we would like to have questions after each presentation, and to fit as many presenters as possible in the schedule. Exceptions must be explicitly requested and justified. Technical talks (code, extensions, localization, QA, tools and adoption related cases) about open document editors or the ODF document format are welcome.

FOSDEM
In 2014, FOSDEM will provide audio/video recording for all devrooms. Organizers, though, need some help in each devroom to attend/check the equipment. I will act as the main contact point, but I need some help during the day for the task. If you are going to attend FOSDEM and to be present for most of the time in the Open Document Editors devroom (our devroom!) on Saturday 1 February, please volunteer for helping me with audio/video recording, otherwise our devroom talks won't be recorded and made available online (as one person is not enough). No previous experience with audio/video is necessary. I will take a short training during FOSDEM opening session, and I will need a backup for just a few hours. Please reply to this message if you think that you can help me.
