Quick heads-up: I've added a link to the latest draft of the ESC
tendering process document to the pad (under preparations).

[libreoffice-projects] Re: ESC budget item review meeting minutes: 2023-06-22

2023-06-26 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi Eyal,

[adding dev & qa list back - f'up to there, I'd say, project@ is more
 for general announcements]

my personal take would be - we should indeed outline a bit better,
what formal requirements the ESC has, to be able to evaluate such
tender proposals. Hossein already mentioned some minimum verbosity,
such that someone independent, but skilled in the art, can judge a
submission.

I would hesitate to prescribe any particular 'kind' of work. Whatever
the project members deem important should go there - if, what & when
to do it, is then up to the ESC to decide.

What is useful to mention though, is that successful proposals almost
always are from, or are supported by, someone with technical
background. Finding an ESC member to refine & lobby for one's proposal
also tends to be a good idea.

Best, Thorsten

Seconded - we were trying since forever to get something like that
going for development, a bit like the kernel weekly news.

It really helps to keep people updated & cohesion inside the project,
~no one can read all mails, irc & telegram channels these days.

So any further volunteers willing to do that for any subproject would
be very much welcome - and thx to Buovjaga for doing the work for QA!

Hi guys,

FYI - our Easy Hacks are now linked from OpenHatch's entry-level code
page:

https://openhatch.org/wiki/Easy_bugs_for_newcomers

, which is a rather nice & prominent place. Should we add more
entry-level coding pointers, or change the URLs, let's remember to
keep that page up-to-date.

[libreoffice-projects] [ANN] LibreOffice 4.0.5 RC2 available

2013-08-19 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the second release
candidate of our upcoming LibreOffice 4.0.5. This will be the fifth in
a series of frequent updates to our feature-packed 4.0 branch. Please
be aware that LibreOffice 4.0.5 RC2 is not ready for production use,
you should continue to use LibreOffice 4.0.4 for that.

The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA
builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A good way to assess the release candidate quality is to run some
specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test

  - or checkout our manual test database for starting right away -

 http://manual-test.libreoffice.org/runtests/

For other ways to get involved with this exciting project - you can
e.g. contribute code:

  http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/

translate LibreOffice to your language:

  http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice_Localization_Guide

[libreoffice-projects] [ANN] LibreOffice 4.1.0 RC4 test builds available for smoketesting

2013-07-23 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi *,

QA found a number of problems that were initially addressed via a
hotfix for the Linux packages, but then resulted in a fully new build
today - we're now uploading builds of LibreOffice 4.1.0 RC4 to a
public (but non-mirrored - so don't spread news too widely!) place, as
soon as they're available. Grab them here:

 http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try & report *critical*
bugs, especially regressions relative to prior RCs here, so we can
incorporate them into the release notes. Please note that it takes
approximately 24 hours to populate the mirrors, so that's about the
time we have to collect feedback.

The list of fixed bugs vs. 4.1.0 RC3 is available here

 
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugs-libreoffice-4-1-0-release-4.1.0.4.log

I'd like to especially ask QA volunteers from the following locales,
to please verify the fix of fdo#67093:

as
bg
br
gl
lt
pt-BR
pt

sv
te

Thanks a lot for your help,

due to a build issue on Mac, that resulted in non-working python

[libreoffice-projects] Impress Sprint Dresden updates

2013-03-19 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi there,

just a quick update on $subject - added some more bits and pieces to 

 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Events/ImpressSprint2013

, most importantly some rough time table at

 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Events/ImpressSprint2013/Schedule

and a list of talks / project proposal at

 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Events/ImpressSprint2013/Proposals

Your edits on those pages appreciated - please take the talks listed
as offers for input, feel free to add your own pet project (either one
you'd need some mentoring input for, or something you're happy to talk
about)!

I'll follow-up with the listed participants in a minute with more
pointers to resources (build howto, QA pages etc).

Looking forward to see you there,

-- Thorsten

[libreoffice-projects] [ANN] Impress Sprint Dresden - March 22nd-24th 2013

2013-02-13 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi there,

TDF was offered the opportunity to hold an Impress Sprint at Dresden
Technical University at the above date. I'm still currently hashing
out details, but we'll have lodging and limited travel bursaries
covered it seems.

Initial wiki page is here:

 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Events/ImpressSprint2013

, stay tuned for when more details get added.

Both hacker and QA participation appreciated - you'll need a laptop or
netbook with LibreOffice installed / built, and TU Dresden will
provide a range of projectors for playing / bug hunting. We will
provide mentoring and some introductory code walk-throughs - and if
you need inspiration, a short-list of easy hacks. :)

Cheers,

-- Thorsten

[libreoffice-projects] Re: Last Hackfest infos

And I!

Beyond that, we thought it might be a nice group experience to have
a little keysigning party on Saturday morning.

What's a key-signing party?

A key-signing party is a get-together with GPG/PGP users for the
purpose of meeting other PGP users and signing each other's keys.
This helps to extend the "web of trust" to a great degree. Also, it
sometimes serves as a forum to discuss strong cryptography and
related issues.

Given the short time for this announcement, it will be rather
informal, i.e. no prior collection of keys etc. If you want to
participate, required items are:

1. Physical attendance
2. Positive picture ID (some people may want to see two:
   e.g. your driver's license on top)
3. Your key ID, key type, HEX fingerprint, and key size
   (http://dev.man-online.org/man1/gpg-key2ps/ is a useful
tool to generate those key slips)
4. A pen/pencil or whatever you'd like to write with
5. NO computer

Why should I use encryption?

You should use encryption, if you need (or want) to protect your
personal emails from being read by individuals or entities other
than your intended recipient(s). Encryption, when used correctly,
can provide message privacy, message integrity, message
authentication, and to some degree non-repudibility.

Save travel to everyone, take care & see you tomorrow!

There were no bugs reported against this version, and we see no
pending patches nor any commits on this branch - suggestion
therefore is to skip RC2 and declare RC1 final.

Any violent objection needs to be accompanied by a patch - currently
RC2 would be binary identical to RC1. ;)

Dear Community,

in a series of frequent bugfix releases, for our feature-packed 3.6
branch. Please be aware that LibreOffice 3.6.2 RC2 is not ready for
production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.6.1 for that.

builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

A good way to assess the release candidate quality is to run some
specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

Hi Andi,

thanks for taking action here. The ESC would like to meet in the
afternoon of the 16th - let's say, 16:00 local time? We'd need a
room for probably not more than 30 people.

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try & report *critical*
bugs not yet in bugzilla here, so we can incorporate them into the
release notes. Please note that it takes approximately 24 hours to
populate the mirrors, so that's about the time we have to collect
feedback.

The list of fixed bugs relative to 3.5.4 is here:

 
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugfixes-libreoffice-3-6-release-3.5.99.1.log

So playing with the areas touched there also greatly appreciated - and
validation that those bugs are really fixed.

Thanks a lot for your help,

-- Thorsten

[libreoffice-projects] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.4 RC1 available

2012-05-18 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is happy to announce the first release
candidate of LibreOffice 3.5.4. The upcoming 3.5.4 will be the fourth
in a series of frequent bugfix releases on our feature-packed 3.5 code
line. Please be aware that LibreOffice 3.5.4 RC1 is not ready for
production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.5.3 for that.

The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA
builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

A note for Windows users: this Release Candidate will uninstall your
current stable build and replace it. If you do not wish this to happen
but still would like to test, you should follow the instructions for
installing in parallel:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A good way to assess the RC1 quality is to run some specific manual
tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test

 (and the announcement mail: 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-December/022464.html)
 
For other ways to get involved with this exciting project - you can
e.g. contribute code:

  https://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/

translate LibreOffice to your language:

  http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Translation_for_3.5

or help with funding our operations:

  http://challenge.documentfoundation.org/

A list of known issues with 3.5.4 RC1 is available from our wiki:

  http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/3.5.4/RC1

Please find the list of changes against LibreOffice 3.5.3 here:

Let us close again with a BIG Thank You! to all of you having
contributed to the LibreOffice project - this release would not have
been possible without your help.

Yours,

The Document Foundation Board of Directors

[libreoffice-projects] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.4 RC1 test builds available for smoketesting

2012-05-16 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi *,

for 3.5.4 RC1, we're now uploading builds to a public (but
non-mirrored - so don't spread news too widely!) place, as soon as
they're available. Grab them here:

 http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try & report *critical*
bugs not yet in bugzilla here, so we can incorporate them into the
release notes. Please note that it takes approximately 24 hours to
populate the mirrors, so that's about the time we have to collect
feedback.

The list of fixed bugs vs. 3.5.3 is available here

 
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugfixes-libreoffice-3-5-4-release-3.5.4.1.log

, it would be nice to verify they're really fixed in the build.

Thanks a lot for your help,

[libreoffice-projects] LibreOffice developer digest

2012-05-08 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi there,

yeah, $subject is not new, but I thought I would run this idea past
you folks here again. ;)

It would be just wonderful, if we could have a weekly digest on the
TDF blog highlighting what has happened in developer land, in
layman's terms. Examples of what I have in mind:

 * http://blogs.gnome.org/commitdigest/2012/03/11/issue-179/#more-624
 * http://dot.kde.org/2011/01/16/kde-commit-digest-12th-december-2010
 * http://lwn.net/Articles/493324/

(ok, I admit, the last one is quite a stretch target)

This would provide nice raw material for upcoming release notes,
create visibility for cool new developments, and keeps users and QA
community informed.

Petr was posting nice script-generated summaries before, but that's
possibly too fine-grained / low-level for a blog:

 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2012-March/028252.html

Anyway, what do you think? I'll quite possibly not have the cycles
to do it myself, but I happily volunteer to review or facilitate, if
someone steps up for that. :)

Cheers,

-- Thorsten

Hi there,

I'm glad to tell you that the TDF board has approved a budget for
travel bursaries for the HackFest - details on above wiki page,
executive summary:
 * transportation-only, please sign-up for coach surfing if you need
   free accomodation
 * volunteer-first - people affiliated with a company involved in
   LibreOffice work will come last
 * first-come-first-served - participants will get reimbursed in
   order of their sign-up on the wiki attendance list, until budget
   runs out.

Please be economic and pick cheap travel - that said, flights to
Hamburg might still be available at a reasonable price.

Looking forward to see many of you there,

-- Thorsten

[libreoffice-projects] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.1 RC1 available

2012-02-26 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi *,

for the upcoming new version 3.5.1, the RC1 builds now start to be
available on pre-releases. This build is slated to be one of two
release candidate builds on the way towards 3.5.1, please refer to our
release plan timings here:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#3.5_release

Builds are now being uploaded to a public (but non-mirrored - so don't
spread news too widely!) place, as soon as they're available. Grab
them here:

 http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try & report *critical*
bugs not yet in bugzilla here, so we can incorporate them into the
release notes. Please note that it takes approximately 24 hours to
populate the mirrors, so that's about the time we have to collect
feedback.

The list of fixed bugs relative to 3.5.0 is here:

 
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugfixes-libreoffice-3-5-1-release-3.5.1.1.log

So playing with the areas touched there also greatly appreciated - and
validation that those bugs are really fixed.

Thanks a lot for your help,

-- Thorsten

[libreoffice-projects] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.0 RC3 available

2012-02-05 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is happy to announce the third release
candidate of LibreOffice 3.5.0. The upcoming 3.5 will be our third
major release line, packed with many exciting new features. Please be
aware that LibreOffice 3.5.0 RC3 is not ready for production use, you
should continue to use LibreOffice 3.4.5 for that.

The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA
builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

A note for Windows users: this Release Candidate will uninstall your
current stable build and replace it. If you do not wish this to happen
but still would like to test, you should follow the instructions for
installing in parallel:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A good way to assess the RC3 quality is to run some specific manual
tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

[libreoffice-projects] Fw: [ODFPlugtest] Call for proposals for 8th ODF plugfest in Brussel

Subject:[ODFPlugtest] Call fo proposals for 8th ODF plugfest in 
Brussel
Sent by:plugtest-boun...@opendocsociety.org



  Amsterdam, Jan 16th 2012
Dear sir/madam,


on behalf of OpenDoc Society we kindly invite your contributions for
the Eight ODF plugfest will take place in Brussels (Belgium) on April
19-20, 2012. The venue is kindly provided by Microsoft Corporation.
Previous plugfests were held in Den Haag (NL), Orvieto (Italy),
Granada (Spain), Brussels, Windsor and Maidenhead (UK), Berlin (DE)
and Gouda (NL).

The programme of the plugfest will again consist of of a technical part
where the actual plugtesting is done (under Chatham house rule) and a
part which is open to the general public. The public facing event will
take place on the afternoon of April 20th 2012.

The deadline for submitting talks for the 8th ODF plugfest is March 1st
2012. Short abstracts of 50 - 100 words are invited on all subjects
relevant to OpenDocument Format. You will have an estimated 12-15
minutes available for your presentation and follow up questions. The
programme already contains a section on product updates where all
vendors attending can announce relevant product improvements and other
new developments, there is no need to submit a talk proposal for that.

Your contributions will be evaluated by an independent programme
committee, consisting of:

- - Alan Bell (OFE)
- - Basil Cousins (OFE)
- - Patrick Durusau (Individual)
- - Roberto Galoppini (Individual)
- - Sophie Gautier (The Document Foundation)
- - Bart Hanssens (Fedict)
- - Michiel Leenaars (NLnet foundation)
- - John Haug (Microsoft)
- - Jos van den Oever (WebODF, KO GmbH)
- - Louis-Suarez Potts
- - Rob Weir (IBM)

Please send your contributions before March 1st 2012 12:00 UCT to:
plugtest-organis...@opendocsociety.org. If you have any questions,
please contact one of the members of the programme committee.

Kind regards,

on behalf of OpenDoc Society
Arthur Buijs

Hi folks,

as promised to some of you, we're organizing the next HackFest here
in Hamburg. We were able to secure support from Attraktor e.V.
again, operators of the Hamburg Hackerspace facilities - a really
rather suitable place for our next meet-up:

 http://www.youtube.com/user/AttraktorHH

Travel bursaries, coach surfing and other sponsorings are not really
sorted out yet, please stay tuned for a bit - first of all, we need
to find a date that suits as many people as possible:

 http://moreganize.com/btJzN0BYZw7

If you'd like to attend, please vote for one of the tree weekends
ASAP (we'll intend to have the poll run for a week or two).

Happy hacking,

-- Thorsten & Eike

that is now feature-complete. For further milestones on the way
towards 3.5.0, please refer to our release plan timings here:

Builds are now being uploaded to a public (but non-mirrored - so don't

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try & report *critical*

populate the mirrors, so that's about the time we have to collect
