[libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice Community starts 50,000 Euro challenge for setting-up its foundation

LibreOffice Community starts 50,000 Euro challenge for setting-up its 
foundation


German-based model provides best stability and safety for users, 
adopters, developers and enterprises

Race for funds open until March 21st

The Internet, February 16th, 2011 - The community around LibreOffice, 
the free office productivity suite, today announced its fifty-thousand 
Euro challenge for setting-up The Document Foundation as a legal entity. 
The race for funds is open until March 21st 2011, which marks the 
beginning of Spring in the northern hemisphere. All users - especially 
enterprises - are invited to donate to the capital stock of the future 
foundation.


After thorough investigation, the Steering Committee came to the 
conclusion that a foundation based in Germany would provide the best 
stability, not only for our users, but also for adopters, developers and 
enterprises. For achieving this stability, a capital stock of at least 
50,000 Euros is considered best practice in Germany, says Florian 
Effenberger, Steering Committee member of The Document Foundation. Now 
that we have our first release of LibreOffice, which has been downloaded 
and installed all around the world, the time has come to legally 
establish the future home for our community.


All donations will be used for setting-up The Document Foundation, and 
after the fifty thousand Euros has been collected for the capital stock, 
donations over the top of that sum will be fed directly into the future 
foundation's budget to cover operating costs. Should the race for funds 
not succeed, The Document Foundation will use the donations to 
incorporate itself in a different country that requires less capital 
stock, such as the United Kingdom.


To achieve their ambitious goal of a Foundation in Germany in just five 
weeks, the community has set-up a dedicated website with detailed 
information at http://challenge.documentfoundation.org The site will 
also give adopters, community members and corporate sponsors a voice, 
and will have special features rolled out at the accomplishment of each 
donation milestone.


We have seen wide support from many organizations, and the amount of 
volunteer work that has been put into The Document Foundation is just 
amazing. Without people donating their free time, knowledge and 
creativity to what will be the future home of LibreOffice, we wouldn't 
be where we are today. However, volunteer work alone can't fund the 
necessary capital stock, which is why we have started a public race for 
donations, especially targeting contributions from enterprises and 
public administrations adopting LibreOffice, and those interested in an 
independent, vital and growing ecosystem around free office productivity 
software, Florian Effenberger adds.


Information about LibreOffice can be found at http://www.libreoffice.org
The home of The Document Foundation is at http://www.documentfoundation.org

About The Document Foundation
The Document Foundation has the mission of facilitating the evolution of 
the OOo Community into a new, open, independent, and meritocratic 
organization within the next few months. An independent Foundation is a 
better reflection of the values of our contributors, users and 
supporters, and will enable a more effective, efficient and transparent 
community. TDF will protect past investments by building on the 
achievements of the first decade, will encourage wide participation 
within the community, and will co-ordinate activity across the community.

 Hi again!

 Yesterday I finished the 3D version of the main icon set of LibO and today
 I made two first real wallpaper. Maybe they are too much bright, so let me
 know what you think.

 They are in 16:9 aspect ratio.

 Hope you like it. :)

 Well, these wallpapers are just tests rendered in a bigger resolution
 [asked by Leif] and their textures have poor quality. Actually, the
 resolution of textures (512px) is not enough to the 1024x768 format, so you
 can see the aliasing effect in the center picture (look to green highlights
 in the hills). Also maybe some text may be good too to keep the context of
 these images. I'll try to do something better today and present to you. :)

  Thanks a lot for the great artwork!

 I'm happy with the commentaries from you all. :) Thank you!

 And thank you for all the people involved in the Mimetype icons creation,
 because my only work was to put this great artwork in 3D format. :)

that OOo is loosing ground with the features that LO now
includes in its 3.3 version over OOo's 3.3 version.

These two articles make me think that if this type of negative
press keeps up, Oracle will soon dump OOo as a useless
product line.

Now that is funny. It looks like just the same article, just reworked
with a different title.

We already have the full article on the LibreOffice in the Press wiki
page. Maybe we will just skip the short one.

The one is short, but the longer one has more info in it.

But these articles are one of the first ones I have seen that
looks like some one else now believes that Oracle has dropped
the ball on their version. I like the fact that in such a short time,
while LibreOffice people were working on re-coding the core of
the suite to get rid of the legacy code that causes upgrade and
maintenance problems, they still found the time to produce a
better 3.3 version than OOo did. LibreOffice went to RC4, while
OOo went to RC10; so does it mean that LibreOffice has better
programmers, of is it due to their work to get rid of the legacy
code that gave problems to OOo's programmers?

Hi guys,

Sadly just now I found some incorrect vertexes in 3D meshes, mainly in 
the document colored border. So this is the corrected version:

you'll need to force reloading)


I also made JPG versions because the PNG files are huge really (almost 
1MB): Wallpaper 1

was my favourite.

Yes, I think that they are all attractive.

Ahah, that makes sense.  Grey against a grey background is a lot less exciting 
than the colours!  


Something i was wondering was why some of the logos appear to be leaning 
slightly or angled or is it a slight perspective?  The Calc and Impress ones 
seem to have a greater gap at the bottom than at the top in this one ...

Le 2011-02-12 00:46, Marc Paré a écrit :

I just realized that if I type in .pdf in a Thunderbird email message,
a bar appears on the bottom of my window reminding me to not forget to
include the .pdf file before sending my email. This also happens with
.doc

We should ask Mozilla to add the OpenDocument Format file extensions to
this feature.

Are there any other pieces of emailing software that do the same but not
include the OpenDocument Formats as well?

This would certainly advance our cause for the preferred use of
OpenDocument Format.

Cheers

Marc




I just got a bugzilla answer from Mozilla on this and it has been 
accepted. They said that just having the .pdf and .doc extensions was 
too selective. It looks like they will accept all sets of .od? 
extentions. No details as to when this will make its appearance in 
Thunderbird.

Hi Florian:

Nice to see this happen. There was talk of making the banner available 
for one enterprise. Are we going to make this banner available for 
downloading for other enterprises or individuals who would be interested 
in supporting LibreOffice through displaying a banner for the 
fundraiser? If so, as well as having a large banner, could we also offer 
a smaller banner and also a square banner for left or right positioning

Well, for sure we have the best programmers going around. The amount of 
bug fixes is amazing. All you have to do is join the dev list and lurk 
and you'll see that the amount of bug fixing traffic has actually 
increased since the start of LibreOffice. I don't think that particular 
list/section is ever at a standstill. I am not sure they even take time 
to sleep! :-)  Great dev work people!


As for the demise of OOo, the general undertone in the media (Tom and I 
have been taking care of the LibreOffice in the Press wiki page[1]) has 
been that Oracle is going to have its hands full trying to keep up to 
the LibreOffice wave. I think at some point they, Oracle OpenOffice, 
will have to re-adjust their goals. IMHO, if they decide to commit to a 
closer ties with LibreOffice, they may end up in a clear 2nd place 
standing and in a very precarious position. Adopting the LibreOffice 
code may be its only alternative.

Hi :)

I thought this announcement from Oracle (late Friday evening) was quite 
interesting
http://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/el-errata/2011-February/001819.html
http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=06511

It seems their linux team is quite separated from their main corporate teams 
and 
has some very dedicated linux people there.  So, perhaps now we might see more 
activity from OOo.

see that the amount of bug fixing traffic has actually increased since the 
start 
of LibreOffice. I don't think that particular list/section is ever at a 
standstill. I am not sure they even take time to sleep! :-)  Great dev work 
people!

As for the demise of OOo, the general undertone in the media (Tom and I have 
been taking care of the LibreOffice in the Press wiki page[1]) has been that 
Oracle is going to have its hands full trying to keep up to the LibreOffice 
wave. I think at some point they, Oracle OpenOffice, will have to re-adjust 
their goals. IMHO, if they decide to commit to a closer ties with LibreOffice, 
they may end up in a clear 2nd place standing and in a very precarious 
position. 
Adopting the LibreOffice code may be its only alternative.

Cheers

Marc

 Sadly just now I found some incorrect vertexes in 3D meshes, mainly in the

Not sure. I think many of them are busy keeping their version of 
unbreakable linux as this is a source of income for them. The also react 
to change in the RedHat distro to keep their version up to date.

Yes, definitely. Oracle builds its Unbreakable Linux offer on the back 
of RedHat, but the Linux team based in the US is totally unrelated to 
the OOo team based in Hamburg and developing OOo on Windows.


Actually, if they had a desktop version it would use LibreOffice, as 
RedHat will be using LibreOffice in the desktop version Fedora.

[libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice leads the way

2011-02-16 Thread drew

Hi,

Speaking of press coverage I would point to a singular sentence
regarding LibreOffice in an other wise unrelated article:

Nokiasoft: Who are the Open Source Winners and Losers? (ComputerWorldUK)
http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2011/02/nokiasoft-who-are-the-open-source-winners-and-losers/

The sentence:

if the eventual owner of Qt (whoever that might be, assuming Nokia
eventually sells it, as I think likely) starts messing about - hello
Oracle - then there's always the option of a fork, which in the wake of
LibreOffice has become a much more respectable option.


That is IMO the best pr there is.

Yes, Oracle has been getting a little negative feeback lately. 
Especially with the java suit against Google. They will need to nurture

[libreoffice-marketing] Re: [tdf-discuss] REVIEW ARTICLE: VITAL reading for LibreOffice developers, users, supporters

2011-02-16 Thread Kürti László

John,

I'm not with you with this interpretation of the compatibility issues

 These include compatibility with MS Office XML and 2010 files, 
 Presentation having limited PowerPoint features, and a few others that 
 the article mentions.

the problem is keeping the standards or not.
this is a mission impossible being compatible with closed MS formats, as you 
might know well MS doesn't even keep it's own standard bought from ISO

In this point, I suggest we have to show some toughness and we should show up a 
bit about MS indolent if not malicious behavior.

For some reason some of the ODT files now open up within

That is a nice feature sometimes, while other times is can be a headache.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Great artwork

Yeah, you're not wrong. The camera's perspective (50mm) makes the icons 
look a bit different. But this impression is mainly because they are 
placed in a circular arrangement, Base and Writer are rotated by 30 
degrees and Calc and Draw by 10 degrees in camera direction. Just 
Impress is set exactly front to camera. This Blender's screenshot may help:

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q7SezI5yxqM/TVyJQTfq8gI/AbA/bD7eHZ4SRN0/s1600/blender-icons-3d.png

By the way, the icons by themselves are a little bit fat in the 
middle, how you can see in this initial test render:

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tKhTPVdyN2Y/TVyLcDi44QI/AbE/rEVsFELDEec/s320/icons-01-0001.png

If you get a chance, can you try uploading some to www.shapeways.com?
I created my account, but in the instructions to upload it says I need 
export my model, correct? The 5 icons have the same meshes. It's very

Yeah Realistic, but graphically and for the Identity that's not the best way to 
do it. The rest is still amazing :) I'm loving it ;)

Hi Marc!

Thank you so much for include my wallpapers in this page! Maybe we
should change the name of files to avoid the use of LibO (my fault, I'm
sorry). What do you think?



Hi Paulo:

I don't think there is anything wrong with the file names. We had just 
discussed avoiding LibO when using Marketing materials going out to the 
public. The LibO short name, in this case, makes sense as it would be 
quite a bit longer if the full name were used. Therefore, I do not have 
a problem with it. Unless anyone else complains, I do not see any reason 
to change the file names.


Many thanks for the great work.

Cheers

Marc

Hi Paulo:

I now see that you have changed to LibreOffice on your next set. I will 
change the names LibO to LibreOffice as you had suggested, just to keep 
all of the file naming structure the same.


Cheers

Marc

Hi Paulo:

Let's just leave these as they are. I realize that it would just 
complicate things for nothing. I have added these last two wallpapers to 
the wallpaper wiki page[1]


Cheers
