The trend is clear and the official counter (which includes the language packs) is already over 100 millions. There is still a month before ApacheCon, so I suggest that we go directly for the 100 millions logo for ApacheCon in any case. Is the official template for slides already available? Speakers in the OpenOffice track could use a slightly modified template with the 100 millions OpenOffice logo in that case. Of course we still need someone who can design the 100 millions logo variant of the official OpenOffice 4 logo!

Flyers and posters are designed in German language for German speaking countries. The normal process is that you ask in advance, stating: - who is going to use them - where will these people use them (list of events, conferences) - what materials you are producing (you already sent this in the ZIP file) - an estimate of costs This phase occurs on this list, i.e., you ask and get approval here. For materials invoiced in 2014 we may still be able to go through the process now, if you send the dev list the relevant information. Once the dev list is OK with the refunds, you will then move off-list and be in contact with the Apache treasurer to have the invoices reimbursed. Another recommendation is that people attending an event send a short report to this list (mail, blog post, pictures...).

Re: [VOTE]: Release Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0 Beta (RC)
Am Donnerstag, 6. März 2014 um 09:55 schrieb Jürgen Schmidt: Hi all, this is a call for vote on releasing the available release candidate (RC) as Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0 Beta. The Beta release is intended to reach more early adopters and to receive more valuable feedback to improve potentially critical areas for the final release. Apache OpenOffice 4.1 is a minor update with many bugfixes and at least 2 major improvements. It's the first version where we have the iAccessibility2 support integrated and available. A very huge step forward to reach and better support disabled users especially on Windows. The second improvement is the switch to 64 bit on MacOS. A long and overdue must do shift forward to support newer APIs (replace deprecated APIs) and platforms on MacOS. And we can provide again more complete UI translations and have now support for 37 languages. New languages for this release compared to 4.0.1 are Bulgarian, Danish, Hindi, Norwegian Bokmal and Thai. Apache OpenOffice 4.1 will be a further key milestone to continue the success of OpenOffice. An overview of release issues can be found under: http://people.apache.org/~jsc/developer-snapshots/snapshot/AOO4.1.0_Beta_fixes.html The release candidate artifacts (1) (source release, as well as binary releases for 37 languages) and further information how to verify and review Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0 Beta can be found on the following wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Development+Snapshot+Builds The RC is based on the release branch AOO410, revision 1573601! And a fresh and clean RAT scan output of this revision can be found under http://people.apache.org/~jsc/developer-snapshots/snapshot/AOO4.1.0_RAT_Scan.html Please vote on releasing this package as Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0 Beta The vote starts now and will be open until: Sunday evening, 9 March: 2014-03-09 11:00pm UTC. But we invite all people to vote (non binding) on this RC. We would like to provide a release that is supported by the majority of our project members.

Re: Reporting a problem with the OpenOffice website
Hello Kathelijne, you did the right steps and you used the correct pages to download OpenOffice. You downloaded a version for Mac, as I can tell from what you write below. The only reason I could think up why you couldn't open the downloaded file is you are probably not using Mac but Windows (you haven't written which operating sytem you're using) and need to download the version for Windows. You should not, however, have received Genio when downloading Openoffice. That can happen when you use other download sources than ours. Genio is a sort of adware which at least borders on malware. You should remove it from your computer. Good look with OpenOffice!

The concern is for the inadvertent download of not yet released Beta which is available from the following URL space which is not even SourceForge: http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/milestones OK, for the Beta release in special this is true. It's not yet available on Sourceforge - at least I cannot see it. In general, they link to our binaries at Sourceforge. Correct? So, I think the restriction would need to be from ci.apache.org, not SourceForge. For the Beta release this is true. However, I don't know how long this makes sense. Marcus For me this sounds like a great idea. Maybe we should start with denying all download requests that some from these bad websites. @Roberto: Can you tell us if this possible? If yes, is it much effort for you? Sure, sites could still copy all binaries being voted upon and offer them locally, but this would require a more significant effort. on their side. And more HDD space and more own bandwith - which is also not what they want.

Maybe it's special to Mac users since Genieo is a software targeted at Mac. It's not, though, very fair of Sourceforge to do this. To get rid of it check your list of installed programs chose Genieo and then uninstall. As to the other problem, someone using Mac should have to answer. I'm sorry, I've also no Mac to check this. I confirm it happens. I've raised this issue to our AdOps and asked to remove the misleading ads, it will take few hours. In future if you experience a similar problem feel free to send an email directly to blockt...@sourceforge.net, since we have a process in place to allow anyone to ask to remove misleading ads.

Probably it's like this: If you click on OpenOffice... at the top of the page you are forwarded to this page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/. If you click on Download on this page you would be downloading version 4.0.0, the size of the file is given as 137 MBytes. I decided not to follow this path any further but maybe it's a lead to people getting malware along with OpenOffice. I'd say you've been quite helpful - thank you for this!

Hm, I doubt that you have downloaded Genio from a webpage of our openoffice.org http://openoffice.org domain. Genio is already known in the Apple community. See here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4721789?tstart=0 Is there a bug? What should I do? Did y by any chance install malware on my computer? Depends on if you have just downloaded or downloaded *and* installed something. Maybe it helps already to delete anything with Genio. In any case you should run a virus/malware check on your computer. Thanks in advance for your reply! HTH Marcus - To unsubscribe, e-mail:

The Beta release is intended to reach more early adopters and to receive more valuable feedback to improve potentially critical areas for the final release. Apache OpenOffice 4.1 is a minor update with many bugfixes and at least 2 major improvements. It's the first version where we have the iAccessibility2 support integrated and available. A very huge step forward to reach and better support disabled users especially on Windows. The second improvement is the switch to 64 bit on MacOS. A long and overdue must do shift forward to support newer APIs (replace deprecated APIs) and platforms on MacOS. And we can provide again more complete UI translations and have now support for 37 languages. New languages for this release compared to 4.0.1 are Bulgarian, Danish, Hindi, Norwegian Bokmal and Thai. Apache OpenOffice 4.1 will be a further key milestone to continue the success of OpenOffice.

Re: 4.1. Regressions

Using such a trunk version for normal work is a much more manifold and reliable test than testing with prepared testcases (what, of course, have to be done, too!). I am used to do a query for regressions in trunk, what will allow to check whether there are known 4.1 regressions affecting my daily work. And fascinating, my query showed 1 Regression in 200 Bugs with Version 4.1 (I forgot what one it was). That sounds good, but it is completely implausible that our 200 unfixed 4.1.0-dev DEFECT bugs all are about new features. And that tells that information in Bugzilla database is totally unreliable, not useful for such decisions. I already started a review of Bugs in query [1]. Very often Version has been changed erroneous from an older version to 4.1, sometimes additionally I see reports with Status Confirmed what are no bugs at all (Bug 106106, Bug 97818), or at least are very unclear (Bug 96263. Given what you say in this above paragraph, do you have any suggestions on how to accurately determine regression status? We may have to construct a custom search using date, etc. May be some volunteers can assist?
