[libreoffice-users] NA-DVD ISO 3.5.7 installs is now online
The newest version of the North American Community DVD is now online at the LO CD/DVD download page[s]. Now that the conference is over, etc., etc., the server admin[s] have pushed the .iso file to the mirrors. It was uploaded the day after the 3.5.7 installs came out, but with the conference going on, the admins were not available to do the pushing. http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=boxversion=3.5.7 LO-3.5.7_English-NA-DVD_all-platforms_multi-lang_plus-extras_v1_oct-18-2012.iso is a 4.2 GB file. In a few weeks [mid November], I will be making the 3.6.3 version of the DVD as well. The 3.5.7 version is a good first time user or conservative install of LO. I know that many of you would say that people should start with the 3.6.2 version, or 3.6.3 when it comes out, but even the release plan calls those version for early adopters, since it is a more cutting edge version over 3.5.7. So for those who want to distribute the last of the 3.5 line, here is that version of the NA-DVD .iso file for you. Here is the link to the background image, so you can create your own label for the DVD. Test is easy to add, once you got the nice background image to go with it. http://libreoffice-na.us/label-2-blank-only-background.png -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

My suggestion is that you verify that the MirrorBrain HASH values for the .ISO file against what you created locally prior to you upload. That way you can be certain that what you prepared will make it intact out to the mirrors. Each user then must be responsible for verifying their own downloads, with some trust that what is being downloaded is your original. Using the HASH values facilitates that at all steps--but you set the foundation for it. You can wait for it to post up to the mirrors and grab the MirrorBrain HASH (as either the Info, or Details link--same content), or you can ask your contact to provide you the HASH value of what they received at the transfer server. Or if you're conservative, just do both. Practice a bit with the md5sum, md256sum and you'll soon make it habit for all your data transfers--even locally between your computers.

[libreoffice-users] Macro to create sheets
Dear All, I am trying to write a macro in order to create some sheets once it is invoked (e.g. through a button). Sheet 1 contains a list. So cells in the first column contains a name: A1 = player1 A2 = player2 A3 = player3 A4 = player4 A5 = player5 A6 = player6 .. An = playern where n may change. So I need a funcition that counts the elements in column A (numberOfPlayer) and that create n sheets each called player1, player2, .., playern. I wrote something like this: Sub DateSheets() numberOhSheets=1 While Sheet1.A numberOhSheets numberOhSheets = numberOhSheets + 1 Next For sht = 14 To 14 + numberOfSheets Sheets.Add after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count) Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = Rosa.A sht-13 Next End Sub What should I do to make it working? And how can I create a button to run it?

Then I decided - what the heck - I downloaded the 3.6.2 files and created a 3.6.2 NA-DVD. In the next 24 hours I will be uploading it to the server I have access to.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Cannot add primary key after saving without primary key.
Whilst it is recommended that every table should have a primary key field, as far as I know HSQLDB is the only engine to enforce this by refusing to allow changes to tables not having one. I certainly think that the code ought to be fixed so that database engines that require the field shouldn't allow table creation without it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] RE: Survey about newcomer experience for LibreOffice project contributors
Hi :) Most studies about desktop users are funded by MS. It's pretty rare to see one that mentions OpenSource at all. Mysteriously, the ones that get published tend to favour MS, so it's really quite amazing to find one that might be independent and might even discover some truths. So, I think anyone that can take the survey might well be helping both us and the people doing the survey. https://limesurvey.sim.vuw.ac.nz/index.php?sid=14153%E2%8C%A9=en It doesn't take long to complete the survey and it can be done in chunks quite easily. I think we should support it so i am forwarding it to another couple of lists. It's interesting that their definition of 'newcomer' (they mean someone in LO around 2 years or less) covers just about everyone using LO. I wasn't in OpenOffice.org but i get the impression that there are significant differences in infrastructure, attitudes and approach. Also their definition of member is a lot more open than TDF's so if you are not officially a member then you can probably still fill it in.

It has been brought to my attention that several questions refer to the notion of membership within the LibreOffice community. By membership I am not asking about TDF membership, instead I am referring to the point when you began contributing to the LibreOffice software project (developing, reporting bugs, writing documentation, etc...). TDF members however fully qualify for taking part in the survey. It will be interesting to compare both types of newcomer experience. However, regular users are not included. I am definitely not saying that LibreOffice users are not important for the community (since LibO would not exist without its users) but simply that the survey targets the experience of new contributors when joining the LibO project. It encompasses the tasks they had to undertake to learn how to contribute as well as the interactions with other community members while learning about how to contribute to the software project. Potential survey participants shall have joined the LibO community within the last 2 years. LibO celebrated its 2-year birthday recently, and you may argue that everyone in LibO then joined within the last 2 years. The survey applies to people who joined the LibO community since it was created but who were not previously involved in the OpenOffice project. The survey description has been updated to clarify both aspects. For those who are at the LibO conference right now, have fun!

Re: [libreoffice-users] RE: Survey about newcomer experience for LibreOffice project contributors
Hi :) The questions in the survey cover a lot of that. Even if you don't think you contribute much then it's still worth starting to fill it in. It is likely that you underestimate how much you contribute so let the form be the judge of whether you do enough to be able to make sensible answers. Some of the questions seemed to have certain assumptions about why you might agree, or disagree with that particular question but then a subsequent question would often allow me to set the record straight or at least push it in the right direction a bit. Kinda reminded me of a meeting where an intellectual voted in favour of an amendment, which got accepted but then he voted against the main proposal (which also passed which upset him a little). People were completely baffled about his actions until they really thought about it.

It's pretty rare to see one that mentions OpenSource at all. Mysteriously, the ones that get published tend to favour MS, so it's really quite amazing to find one that might be independent and might even discover some truths. So, I think anyone that can take the survey might well be helping both us and the people doing the survey. https://limesurvey.sim.vuw.ac.nz/index.php?sid=14153%E2%8C%A9=en It doesn't take long to complete the survey and it can be done in chunks quite easily. I think we should support it so i am forwarding it to another couple of lists. It's interesting that their definition of 'newcomer' (they mean someone in LO around 2 years or less) covers just about everyone using LO. I wasn't in OpenOffice.org but i get the impression that there are significant differences in infrastructure, attitudes and approach. Also their definition of member is a lot more open than TDF's so if you are not officially a member then you can probably still fill it in. Remember that you must be a contributor though. A user who just asks questions on the user forum should not fill out the survey. If you regularly help others on the user forum, I would say you're easily a contributor, but a person who only asks a question here or there, probably shouldn't fill out the survey Regards, Joel -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] RE: LibreOffice Math: Export PDF- Control the output?
Hi Regina, We were looking for a way to create equations, and then have them exist as single files, preferably as a pdf file, with as few steps as necessary.
