Re: a german speaking Flyer

Hallo Jörg,

2012/11/10 Jörg Schmidt joe...@j-m-schmidt.de

 Hello,

 I would like to inform that some members of the German community have
 created a flyer and printed, which we use for local work.
 A direct view of the flyer:
 http://www.calc-info.de/files/flyer_aoo_de.pdf


 Jan makes this available for free use. The editable file of the flyer here
 is a Scribus file (*. sla), as Scribus here for prepress (offset printing)
 was necessary.

 The flyer is licensed under Apache License and Creative Commons (CC-BY).


 All required files are in:
 http://www.wienandt.de/download/aoo/aoo-flyer-de.zip


I've created a derivated work of your flyer.
www.softenpoche.com/sep/flyer_de.pdf
The aim was to get an .odt version, printable in Black and White and
exportable in hybrid pdf format (with the Oracle pdfimport extension) so
that it could also serve as an example of the use of this functionality.
I had never produced such a document, but with your file as a template, it
was a piece of cake, so, many thanks to you and your team.

A+

Apache OpenOffice at FOSDEM 2013, 2-3 February 2013, Brussels

Apache OpenOffice (formerly OpenOffice.org) is coming again to
FOSDEM in Brussels, for the first time as an Apache Top-Level
Project. Our community has a new structure, friendly and open,
and new developers are especially welcome.

We invite submissions of talks for the Apache OpenOffice devroom,
to be held on Saturday, 2 February 2013, 9.00 to 17.30.

If you have something interesting to say about Apache OpenOffice
or the ODF format from a technical point of view (code, extensions,
localization, QA, tools... but also less known functions or creative
ways to use the program) please share it with us!

It doesn't need to be long or serious. Funny contributions are welcome
as well. Just make sure to specify an estimated length for
your talk, as well as a proposed title, description and a few lines
about yourself.

The deadline is Sunday, 23 December 2012. Accepted talks will be
published by 10 January 2013. Limited funding may be available for
accepted speakers in need.

Please add your talk proposals to the following page:

http://s.apache.org/fosdem-2013-proposals

You can send any questions to our development mailing list:
dev@openoffice.apache.org

Open Office 3.41

2012-11-19 Thread K BAILEY

I have recently updated open office to the latest version  since doing so a 
problem with spell check has occurred in that after typing a document or letter 
 clicking on spell check, it states almost every word is incorrect but makes 
no suggestions for corrections.
 
Have other people experienced this problem  is there a solution.
 
Thank you
 
Kind Regards

Hi Kevin,
   I'm sorry to hear you are having a problem. There is a tutorial on
the forum about this topic.
http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74t=16512

There are a few different possible causes and it is probably easier
for you to look there and work through the steps of the tutorial
rather than someone trying to explain it all here. You don't need to
register to look at the tutorial. If your problem isn't solved, I
encourage you to register on the forum and ask there or try the user
mailing list.
Best regards,
Francis

Hello everyone, my name is Miguel and I'm interesting in helping with the 
documentation of Open Office. I do not have previous formal writing experience 
except for what I have done in my undergraduate and graduate courses. However, 
I'm willing to contribute my time and learn.

We're in the process of creating an updated OpenOffice professional
services directory, to replace the outdated one that we removed from
the website a few months ago.


I've been looking at doing the same for the /it website, with the aim 
to obtain a list of Italian consultants. As I see it, this would be a 
fork of the consultants database, since we would list there only the 
Italian consultants (as it used to be) and link to

http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultants.html
for global information.

The problem is that in this case we will want the output page to appear 
under /it and take the branding normally applied to the /it directory.


What's the best way to do it? An svn copy of consultants from 
/bizdev to /it and subsequent customization? This is not so nice, 
but with version control it wouldn't be very painful to synchronize 
relevant changes. Or shall I need to just put in /bizdev/consultants a 
new file, say to-html_it.xsl, that takes a new database, say 
consultants_it.xml, and produces an HTML file in /it? The latter 
option reduces duplication but adds clutter to /bizdev/consultants.


Regards,
  Andrea.

Whole looking around for our current buildbot output, I did find 
successful builds for Linux and Win linked on this page:


http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/

No Mac however. At any rate, I just thought I might put this out there 
for consideration for development versions.


However, on the above page, languages other than en only provided for

And, part 2, should we be testing these?

We're waiting for access to the Mac buildbot.  The buildbot software has 
only recently been loaded on the current box - the older Mac slave 
turned out to be 'all dead'.
Our build is a bit of a hog, and requires a bunch of prerequisites, so 
we have to be careful about not breaking the other projects on the box.

That said, we do want a  Mac bot and it is an open issue.
At any rate, I just thought I might put this out there for 
consideration for development versions.

huhhh?  Pretty sure full language set is built on L32 and L64.
We are looking to down rev the Linux32 bot to Ubuntu 10.10 do that the 
install bits are linked against the right symbols, etc.


And, part 2, should we be testing these?
sounds great.  Actually, this was discussed during ApacheCon, and it is 
another of our long standing goals.

oh - en-US only.  This is something to discuss - though not sure of the 
value of all languages on all platforms nightly.  Perhaps we do all 
languages for all platforms for just the SNAPSHOT builds.
