[users] Re: Status of OpenOffice.org Preservation/Migration with Apache
Rob Weir has added some useful information on this topic at another list: http://openoffice.org/projects/www/lists/discuss/archive/2011-09/message/6. Kay Schenk is developing a nice provisional set of migration recommendations that promises to enrich the next level of detail. The Apache OO.o Community Wiki page to watch and contribute to is at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/OOo-to-ASF-site-recommendation. This is a pubic wiki (registration required of course) and more contributions and discussion are welcome. The left sidebar provides an expandable list of related pages as well. - Dennis -Original Message- From: Dennis E.

It is not definite what will happen with @OO.o in the future, although the Apache Software Foundation is being given possession of the OO.o domain names. The extent to which the form and content of an operating @Oo.o site will be preserved and adjusted to tie to development @i.a.o is not worked out. Further migration beyond any initial cut-over is also to-be-determined. 4. Although preservation and gradual migration of static content is technically straightforward, there is more difficulty with dynamic and interactive services: wikis, issue trackers, forums, mailing lists and their archive interfaces, mail forwarding and registrations, administrative functions, and more I probably have missed.

After all, posting such an annoucement on this list (and cross-posting t-...@incubator.apache.org ooo-us...@incubator.apache.org) without sticking around to answer questions, explain, offer further details, is IMO pretty rude. Is this what can be expected from ooo-apache in the future? I wouldn't judge Apache by Rob Weir's actions. He is new to Apache and an IBM employee. The long time Apache people seem to be much more relaxed and easy going, at least from what I have seen since the Apache-ooo started. Larry, if you wanted to be useful you might have mentioned to NoOpthat we have been discussing enabling Gmane for ooo-users.incubator.apache.org on the ooo-dev list, and that you yourself have volunteered to set that up in a few days. And btw, I've been an Apache Committer since 1999. However... You post an annoucement on this list (over 5 hours ago) that this list will be shutting down - not a trivial post. I post questions regarding such about 2 hours later, and your only post since then is to chastise Larry? Maybe part of the confusion here is that some posts seem to be taking a while to get through? Yesterday I was wondering what this was all about - all I'd seen was some discussion about an announcement of this list closing, often quoting other messages I hadn't seen. The first I'd seen of Rob's original announcement was your quote below. Today, the Rob's announcement came through along with about 25 other replies. One of those was your questions from 2 hours later - which I hadn't received until now (more than 24 hours after posting). Perhaps Rob hadn't received your original questions either? ... You pop in annoucing: Please note that, as part of the overall migration to Apache, this list will be closed. Based on feedback received, including from participants on this list, we've decided to create a users list at the Apache OpenOffice.org project to serve as a continuation of users@openoffice.org. You are invited to subscribe to the new list by sending an email to: ooo-users-subscr...@incubator.apache.org That Apache list is live now. Although users@openoffice.org is not going to disappear immediately, it will eventually be shut down.So you might want to finish the threads you are engaged in here, but try to start new ones at ooo-us...@incubator.apache.org. We're talking weeks, not months, before the migration completes. Thanks! -Rob and don't respond to responses regarding your post (except to Larry's of course). Again: Is this what can be expected from ooo-apache in the future?. Many users on this list may not even have a clue as to what 'incubator.apache.org' is, who /you/ are, and why this is all taking place. The users on this list went through several months of trauma regarding the transition from Sun to Oracle list changes (including bug reporting). Now you show up with this? To be honest, I don't see why Apache can't continue using the existing infrastructure on openoffice.org? incubator.apache.org sounds, to me, like something which is in the early stages of development - which OOo certainly isn't! I know the page at http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/ explains otherwise, but if I were not already familiar with OOo I probably wouldn't even have read that far. That page also states that Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. Does this mean the infrastructure, mailing list addresses, etc. are going to change *again* once they have stabilized?

You can read more about Apache Incubation here: http://incubator.apache.org/ All projects that go through Incubation at Apache are already established open source projects. Incubation is not a place to start a new codebase. Apache Labs is where brand new ideas can start. So the point of Incubation for OOo is not that OOo is new, but that it is new to Apache and needs some extra attention to conform to the Apache license, integrate with Apache infrastructure and understand how Apache projects are run. I can't really answer your cosmic why? question. We must take it as a given fact that Oracle has contributed OOo to Apache and that Oracle will be shutting down their hosting of the website. Once those facts are acknowledged -- even if you disagree with those decisions or how they were made -- the rest of this, including Apache Incubation and list migration, follows naturally. That page also states that Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. Does this mean the infrastructure, mailing list addresses, etc. are going to change *again* once they have stabilized? If that's the case, why not use the existing infrastructure at openoffice.org until Apache are ready to roll out whatever new infrastructure they want to put in place? Once a project graduates from Incubation it becomes a top level project or TLP. At that point the mailing lists will change again, e.g. ooo-users@incubator.apache,org would become us...@openoffice.apache.org. We can probably make that transition easy for subscribers, since it will be still within the same list infrastructure. -Rob Mark. -- - To unsubscribe send email to users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help -- - To unsubscribe send email to users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help

Hello Doug: The answer to the date problem can be solved in two ways. My particular problem was in the spreadsheet program The software has the ability to accept different date formats other than those that appear in the drop down menu. The following can be applied to a single cell, or to a group of highlighted cells. 1. Click on cell, or highlighted group of cells. 2. Click on Format. 3. Click on date under Category. 4. Go to bottom of window and there is window with a title Format Code. Highlight over whatever is there and type in the format needed DD/MM/YY and then hit OK at the bottom of the page and it worked. Wheww! Thanks for all the help and interest with my problem. Irv.

[users] Re: can I convert word files??
Not sure about table and calendar formats from Word to OO, but if you couldn't open them directly in OO, go back to Word and save a copy As one of the compatibility modes (basically anything other than the default Word format, like an older version of Word); you may even have the option to save in as .odt. You may loose some of the formatting of the original document, but hopefully most of it will translate correctly.

I received this one and a couple of others two days later than I saw them on the archive of the list. This happens. It was apparently a routing or email-queue kick-off quirk where these messages arrive so much later than the one before and ones after. Unless it continues, there is probably nothing to be concerned about. Posts from unsubscribed addresses have to go through the moderator and their is a delay getting them to the list. Rob Weir's post from his Apache address and David Lipman's post both went through the moderator and have a later date in the headers for posting to the list than the actual sent date. X-Sympa-To: users@openoffice.org in the headers indicate that the post went through the moderator. -- _ Larry I.
