Re: Additional languages for buildbots
On 13.08.2013 08:42, Andrea Pescetti wrote: I see that yesterday's buildbot run completed successfully http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/#winsnap (even though, since we are still building the SNAPSHOT tag, running that buildbot is only testing that the buildbot works). This is the only one where we support localization at the moment. Before we forget, can we add to it at least zh-TW (unsure aoput the right syntax) km pl kid ? The first 3 languages are 100% complete in Pootle, kid is the KeyID and it's useful to translators. I now added km and zh-TW, pl was already there. Enabling the keyid build doesn't make sense until [1] is fixed. The current kid localization is quite out of date. [1] https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123014 This is only a step in making the new languages available for testing (the other two being: regenerating the SDF files and moving the SNAPSHOT tag or equivalent on the buildbot side), but it is independent of the other actions needed. And what is preventing us from having at least one Linux buildbot equivalent to win7snap? I thought disk space was the issue, but from Andrew's remarks I understood this is no longer problematic under Windows or Linux. Last week we ran out of space on the Windows buildbot. When Andrew cleaned things out they started working again. With the additional languages we are stressing it a bit more now though. The snapshot tag is currently only moved sporadically so spending time in setting up new snapshot buildbots for e.g. Linux is an arguable investment. For most cases the already existing nightly builds are better. Herbert - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

That work is incomplete. I checked it in originally, after the logo vote, so we could start working on the product integration immediately. But note that the above logo is not the one we actually used in AOO 4.0 !! The one we actually used is this one: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/branding/Apache_OpenOffice_Logo_ChrisR_selected_2013-06_Inkscape_kg.svg This was Chris R's contest logo with some minor technical changes. Kevin G. used this and generated the PNG/JPG files for AOO 4.0, which I helped check in. My intent was to take that SVG and rename it to master-logo-40.svg Again I think we do need a convention for a logo.svg as opposed to ending with a logo-30.svg logo-40.svg logo-50.svg. An just incrementally replace with the future logos as we update the SVG. Here's the complication: The old logos are still relevant some some purposes. For example, the PMC receives ongoing requests to approve use of the old OpenOffice.org logo. Why would that happen? Often it is a request by publishers who are making an e-book version of an older print book. If their original request did not include the e-book rights then they come back to us (and owners of every other image they use) to request additional permissions. I think that 'complication' is the lesser of two evils., compared to having to manage a ever growing ammount of images. And beside that, do you realize the difference in objectives between ooo-site/images/ ooo-site/marketing/art/images/ and ooo-site/branding/images. I dont see any reason why those issues should impact the web works of ooo-site/images/. That folder is for website-design related work. It has, or shouldnt hold any porpouse to archieve past work, nor to hold description of any kind. I think website should be as lean and easy to follow since we expect these conventions be followed by a rotating community. So again K.I.S.S. If those complications arises, send them to marketing or branding workspaces. So it may be possible, going forward, to store logos as SVN revisions under the same name. But we cannot retroactively do this with pre-Apache logos. And even if we could, this is harder for users of the logo to access. It is much easier to have something like logo-330.svg available via HTTP. svg are just like HTML files, they are markup languages, we dont hold the index.html inmaculated and hold an apache-index.html and oracle-index.html, so I dont see why SVG should be any different. The only porpouse of having a source file, is for users to be able to modify it on the first place. Either by integrating to a bigger SVG design, or resizing it for print work. Of course you can have a hybrid approach: 1) When a new logo is introduced, svn copy the old one into a /old-logos directory with a new descriptive name. This preserves the version history. This is not functional and just start acumulating part of the same garbage that svn is supposed to clean up. Again, if this was code, this would be totally unacceptable approach. If new logos are introduced then they should replace the current logo, and the old will live in anals of the svn logs. 2) New logo then is checked in as a new revision of logo-master.svg. People are free to disagree with me, but I think this is a messy way to work, and for a webdev folder is completely useless, specially when there is a whole different project specialized on archiving, developing, and multiplying artwork inside marketing, and a whole different project devoted to specifying the guideliness of the brand (aka logo). Regards, -Rob or something clean like that. However, I have not had any luck getting this logo to load into Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator. I get errors. And I have not had any luck getting Kevin to send a version that will load. So we're stuck right now with a logo that does load into Inkscape, but is slightly different than the one we used in AOO 4.0. At

This preserves the version history. 2) New logo then is checked in as a new revision of logo-master.svg. I like this idea or something akin to it. We should definitely preserve svgs for old logos in my opinion. The new branding repository can be used for this, and given some additional structure. I'm also finding some svg masters for items that are not really logos, like Get It Here, that probably need to be moved to branding even though they are not really logos. That is because branding original intention was to document/create the guidelines, it was 100% documentation project. ART (inside marketing) is the one that hold the logos, banners, artwork, design elements, microbanners, and 3d work, etc. http://www.openoffice.org/marketing/art/ As well as other type of design like Business card templates, OOoCon Impress templates, and such. Branding basically was just a branch on the wiki. Eventually this was moved to the wiki. We soon realize that managing the repository on the wiki would be a faster and easier way since the wiki is much easier to make commits and updates to it. Example, the splashscreen contest: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Gallery And, because there are quite a few sites using old logo versions, I don't really think we should track them all down and require them to upgrade. Some groups clone the 'master' logo and this makes it a bit harder to track, there are still some abandoned NL projects with the design from OOo 3.0 (2008/9) Again, I am only referring to svg for these. Renderings, png files, as far as I'm concerned, can be renamed and kept anywhere. The new logo used on the website now, for example, is not a drop in replacement for the old one, because the size is slightly larger due to design considerations. So, AFAIK the new logo is exactly the same approach of the old logo (Apache on top of OpenOffice and an Orb to the left). Can you explain further? it's conceivable, depending on use, the even within the Apache OpenOffice site, etc., different renderings might be used. But maybe this is in
[RELEASE]: preparation for AOO 4.0.1
Hi, first if all I volunteer to act as the release manager for AOO 4.0.1 if that is wanted but I am also open to let somebody else to the job ;-) In preparation for an AOO 4.0.1 release I have first created a AOO400 tag based on revision 1503704. I have also created a new branch AOO401 based on branch AOO400 based on the head revision of the branch. I noticed that Yuri checked in some code on the branch already. Can we please follow some guideline how we handle such release branches? I would like to propose the following: Changes on a release branch should be discussed before and should be in relation to a proposed and approved fix (if you want showstopper) that will go in the next release. For now that means the branch AOO400 is dead and changes towards AOO 4.0.1 have to be made on the new branch AOO401 and should be discussed first. Or propose the related issue as showstopper first. I believe we agreed more or less to keep the changes for AOO 4.0.1 minimal to reduce the test effort. We should concentrate on the most serious issues only and on new languages or improved translations. Keep in mind that AOO 4.1 is coming as well. Stability is a key feature and every single bug fix can introduce a regression as well. Often not obvious directly. Any opinions or comment son this plan.

Re: [RELEASE]: preparation for AOO 4.0.1
Hi, I noticed that Yuri checked in some code on the branch already. Can we please follow some guideline how we handle such release branches? Changes on a release branch should be discussed before and should be in relation to a proposed and approved fix (if you want showstopper) that will go in the next release. sorry, but maybe I'm not understanding something; why do AOO400 (which is a branch) fixes going into next release (AOO401) require another branch? I committed to AOO400 because I supposed that newer (minor) releases were going into this branch, not into a different one. And I don't undestand at all why branching again for 401, while we can just use tagging to monitor minor bugfixes releases from AOO400 branch. I understand that a 4.1 release will incorporate new code while we can still produce 4.0.2 on the older branch, so branching for 4.1 makes more sense. with this branching tecnique, a bugfix must be sideported to every active branch, e.g. trunk, AOO401, AOO410 (maybe more in the future).

The first 3 languages are 100% complete in Pootle, kid is the KeyID and it's useful to translators. I now added km and zh-TW, pl was already there.

[1] https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123014 Excellent - I was going to do this, but Herbert beat me to it. This is only a step in making the new languages available for testing (the other two being: regenerating the SDF files and moving the SNAPSHOT tag or equivalent on the buildbot side), but it is independent of the other actions needed. And what is preventing us from having at least one Linux buildbot equivalent to win7snap? I thought disk space was the issue, but from Andrew's remarks I understood this is no longer problematic under Windows or Linux. Last week we ran out of space on the Windows buildbot. When Andrew cleaned things out they started working again. With the additional languages we are stressing it a bit more now though. Actually, the situation is not too bad - the disk space issue is under control now and we have space for languages as they become available. The snapshot tag is currently only moved sporadically so spending time in setting up new snapshot buildbots for e.g. Linux is an arguable investment. We are waiting on the CentOS bot to set up the Linux 32 snapshot build. I'm also about to look at the ubuntu bots - now that they're back on , it would be good to have them running through correctly. For most cases the already existing nightly builds are better. This is something we need to resolve (by making the bot builds better, of course) I think the CentOS bot will help us move in that direction.

unexpected behavior from configure -- new env script not generated

Much to my surprise, the old ant version seemed to be stuck' in configure's brain, and it took me a while to track this down and just delete my existing shell environment script. Then the configure worked as expected. This was the ONLY change in my configure params Any guesses as to the cause of this? * Is this a problem with *my* system autoconf or configure ? * is this how things normally work and we should document this in the build instructions ?

I'm putting the sources into the branding source area, We had already discussed this. Soon we will probably discuss deleting them *from* the marketing/art area. The biggest problem right now is actually FINDING all these. For now, there will be some duplications. Apache OpenOffice does not have the same structure as the old OpenOffice.org with defined project areas, project area leaders, project area committers etc. So setting up the separate branding area was discussed and these files are now being put there. used for this, and given some additional structure. I'm also finding some svg masters for items that are not really logos, like Get It Here, that probably need to be moved to branding even though they are not really logos. And, because there are quite a few sites using old logo versions, I don't really think we should track them all down and require them to upgrade. Again, I am only referring to svg for these. Renderings, png files, as far as I'm concerned, can be renamed and kept anywhere. The new logo used on the website now, for example, is not a drop in replacement for the old one, because the size is slightly larger due to design considerations. So, it's conceivable, depending on use, the even within the Apache OpenOffice site, etc., different renderings might be used. But maybe this is in opposition to what marketing folks mean by a logo with a specific size, etc., I don't know. Regards, -Rob or something clean like that.

And even if we could, this is harder for users of the logo to access. It is much easier to have something like logo-330.svg available via HTTP. Of course you can have a hybrid approach: 1) When a new logo is introduced, svn copy the old one into a /old-logos directory with a new descriptive name. This preserves the version history. 2) New logo then is checked in as a new revision of logo-master.svg. I like this idea or something akin to it. We should definitely preserve svgs for old logos in my opinion. The new branding repository can be Why are you multiplicating image repositories, where Art already has one with the whole image structure clasified and versioned? I'm putting the sources into the branding source area, We had already discussed this. Soon we will probably discuss deleting them *from* the marketing/art area. The biggest problem right now is actually FINDING all these. Like I mentioned before, branding is not a place to store images, is the analog of building a warehouse in your lawyer office. Branding was builted for documenting the specs of the logo. Certainly no need for long filenames, nor useless conventions like 'selected' referencing a marketing contest. For now, there will be some duplications. No need for that if we follow the convention already in place. Apache OpenOffice does not have the same structure as the old Why not? There is already a body of work builted that has been proved with a filename convention and is easy to identify the artwork, logo and other type of work. OpenOffice.org with defined project areas, project area leaders, project area committers etc. So setting up the separate branding area was discussed and these files are now being put there. I am not sure branding is a right place to put and hold the artwork, this just create unnecesary triplication with 'web', 'marketing/art' and NOW 'branding'. used for this, and given some additional structure. I'm also finding some svg masters for items that are not really logos, like Get It Here, that probably need to be moved to branding even though they are not really logos. And, because there are quite a few sites using old logo versions, I don't really think we should track them all down and require

In preparation for an AOO 4.0.1 release I have first created a AOO400 tag based on revision 1503704. I have also created a new branch AOO401 based on branch AOO400 based on the head revision of the branch. I noticed that Yuri checked in some code on the branch already. Can we please follow some guideline how we handle such release branches? I would like to propose the following: Changes on a release branch should be discussed before and should be in relation to a proposed and approved fix (if you want showstopper) that will go in the next release. For now that means the branch AOO400 is dead and changes towards AOO 4.0.1 have to be made on the new branch AOO401 and should be discussed first. Or propose the related issue as showstopper first. I believe we agreed more or less to keep the changes for AOO 4.0.1 minimal to reduce the test effort. We should concentrate on the most serious issues only and on new languages or improved translations. Keep in mind that AOO 4.1 is coming as well. Stability is a key feature and every single bug fix can introduce a regression as well. Often not obvious directly. I assume we also want to avoid introducing new UI strings? Otherwise we'd require translation updates on all languages. I would formulate it stronger: we cannot allow new strings, unless it is absolutely unavoidable. Any opinions or comment son this plan. Should we create new Release Notes? Or augment the existing 4.0.0 ones? It might be simpler if 4.0.x releases share the same release notes, but we start with fresh ones for 4.1? Lets share release notes, amend so that is clear what is only available in 4.0.1, and start from a fresh with 4.1 For 3.4.1, which was basically an update release with addtional languages, the release notes were sort of like an addendum to 3.4.0 -- https://cwiki.apache.org/**confluence/display/OOOUSERS/** AOO+3.4.1+Release+Noteshttps://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4.1+Release+Notes I think Release Notes for 4.0.1 should be similar but, yes, we need a new page for them. +1 In general refer to the 4.0.0 release notes and add just the new things.

Not sure if the proposal should include the marketing-art and branding project. The issue however are related. I think this should be organized as: - filename and file structure cleanup for webdev - stablish a convention for webdev - update the marketing-art gallery/wiki - Organize branding From my experience, the wiki was increasily used as a place for storing/organizing content while the most static was on the www site.

I have permission to submit and upload with merge and overwrite, because I can login at Pootle with my Apache username/password. But you can get a Pootle account without being a commiter. Are there any differences in permissions? I think not, but to be sure.. Kind regards Regina - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

The one we actually used is this one: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/branding/Apache_OpenOffice_Logo_ChrisR_selected_2013-06_Inkscape_kg.svg This was Chris R's contest logo with some minor technical changes. Kevin G. used this and generated the PNG/JPG files for AOO 4.0, which I helped check in. My intent was to take that SVG and rename it to master-logo-40.svg Again I think we do need a convention for a logo.svg as opposed to ending with a logo-30.svg logo-40.svg logo-50.svg. An just incrementally replace with the future logos as we update the SVG. Here's the complication: The old logos are still relevant some some purposes. For example, the PMC receives ongoing requests to approve use of the old OpenOffice.org logo. Why would that happen? Often it is a request by publishers who are making an e-book version of an older print book. If their original request did not include the e-book rights then they come back to us (and owners of every other image they use) to request additional permissions. I think that 'complication' is the lesser of two evils., compared to having to manage a ever growing ammount of images. And beside that, do you realize the difference in objectives between ooo-site/images/ ooo-site/marketing/art/images/ and ooo-site/branding/images. I dont see any reason why those issues should impact the web works of ooo-site/images/. That folder is for website-design related work. It has, or shouldnt hold any porpouse to archieve past work, nor to hold description of any kind. I think website should be as lean and easy to follow since we expect these conventions be followed by a rotating community. So again K.I.S.S. No, it shouldn't. The ooo-site/images areas got the logo added to it simply because to make it easier to locate it. The other images files there belong to the home page. The svg sub-directory here is really the mis-placed one. Actually I would like to see getting rid of the rasterize images instead. Modern browsers already process SVG natively without issues. Well, that's not completely true: even if not modern any more there are literally millions of people still using internet explorer 8 or even older versions, and SVG support was *partially* implemented only from IE9. IE8 needs a plug-in for SVG rendering. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics#Compatibility That's why I recomend and reference javascript libraries that take care of legacy
