Re: Blind Accessibility

2013-04-02 Thread Steve Yin
Hi Reina,

We tested the build of the branch "ia2" only on Windows 7, Vista and XP. So
I cannot ensure that the build can run successfully on Windows 8. And the
current build is still only ready for IA2 UI testing. Please do not run
testing on the object level or the other document content. Thanks.

2013-04-02 Thread Steve Yin
Hi Jean,

Thanks for your work!

The current build of the branch "ia2" is a developing version and ready for
UI testing only. So all the issues you found will be fixed gradually in the
future versions. Now we are working on the document level and will update
the branch periodically. And we plan to finished the main work of the
IAccessible2 migration before November. Then the branch will be integrated
into the trunk. I think the localization work is in the scope of the trunk.
So you will not have to localize it by yourself. Thanks.

Re: FISL14, in Brazil

2013-04-02 Thread Louis Suárez-Potts
I certainly hope to make it there again, as I have nearly every year. But
this time, unlike last year, it would be *great* to have an AOO presence.
Last year, the OO presence there was under the flag of LibreOffice, and so
was the ODF identity.

If there is to be an us (AOO) there, let's synchronize. It could also be,
if Apache is planning on being there, adjunct to Apache--?

Well, Ok. I think we need to maintain a secure environment with anything
used for our builds -- libraries, etc. That would be my only concern with
"older" items.

I just tried to create a new page with math objects and they fail too. It
seems old pages are displayed right because of the heavy use of cache on

Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science

2013-04-02 Thread newtongabrial
We are researchers from different parts of the world and conducted a study on  
the world’s biggest bogus computer science conference WORLDCOMP 
( http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 ) organized by Prof. Hamid Arabnia 
from University of Georgia, USA.


We submitted a fake paper to WORLDCOMP 2011 and again (the 
same paper with a modified title) to WORLDCOMP 2012. This paper 
had numerous fundamental mistakes. Sample statements from 
that paper include: 

(1). Binary logic is fuzzy logic and vice versa
(2). Pascal developed fuzzy logic
(3). Object oriented languages do not exhibit any polymorphism or inheritance
(4). TCP and IP are synonyms and are part of OSI model 
(5). Distributed systems deal with only one computer
(6). Laptop is an example for a super computer
(7). Operating system is an example for computer hardware


Also, our paper did not express any conceptual meaning.  However, it 
was accepted both the times without any modifications (and without 
any reviews) and we were invited to submit the final paper and a 
payment of $500+ fee to present the paper. We decided to use the 
fee for better purposes than making Prof. Hamid Arabnia (Chairman 
of WORLDCOMP) rich. After that, we received few reminders from 
WORLDCOMP to pay the fee but we never responded. 


We MUST say that you should look at the above website if you have any thoughts 
to submit a paper to WORLDCOMP.  DBLP and other indexing agencies 
have stopped indexing WORLDCOMP’s proceedings since 2011 due to its fakeness. 
See http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/icai/index.html for of one 
of the 
conferences of WORLDCOMP and notice that there is no listing after 2010. See 
http://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf for comments from well-known researchers 
about WORLDCOMP.


The status of your WORLDCOMP papers can be changed from “scientific” 
to “other” (i.e., junk or non-technical) at any time. See the comments 
http://www.mail-archive.com/tccc@lists.cs.columbia.edu/msg05168.html   
of a respected researcher on this. Better not to have a paper than 
having it in WORLDCOMP and spoil the resume and peace of mind forever!


Our study revealed that WORLDCOMP is a money making business, 
using University of Georgia mask, for Prof. Hamid Arabnia. He is throwing 
out a small chunk of that money (around 20 dollars per paper published 
in WORLDCOMP’s proceedings) to his puppet (Mr. Ashu Solo or A.M.G. Solo) 
who publicizes WORLDCOMP and also defends it at various forums, using 
fake/anonymous names. The puppet uses fake names and defames other conferences
to divert traffic to WORLDCOMP. That is, the puppet does all his best 
to get a maximum number of papers published at WORLDCOMP to get more 
money into his (and Prof. Hamid Arabnia’s) pockets. 


Monte Carlo Resort (the venue of WORLDCOMP until 2012) has refused to 
provide the venue for WORLDCOMP’13 because of the fears of their image 
being tarnished due to WORLDCOMP’s fraudulent activities. WORLDCOMP’13 
will be held at a different resort.


WORLDCOMP will not be held after 2013.


The paper submission deadline for WORLDCOMP’13 was March 18 and it is 
extended to April 6 (it will be extended many times, as usual) but 
still there are no committee members, no reviewers, and there is no 
conference Chairman. The only contact details available on WORLDCOMP’s 
website is just an email address! 


What bothers us the most is that Prof. Hamid Arabnia never posted an 
apology for the damage he has done to the research community.  He is still 
trying to defend WORLDCOMP. Let us make a direct request to him: publish 
all reviews for all the papers (after blocking identifiable details) since 
2000 conference. Reveal the names and affiliations of all the reviewers 
(for each year) and how many papers each reviewer had reviewed on average. 
We also request him to look at the Open Challenge at  
http://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf


Sorry for posting to multiple lists. Spreading the word is the only way to stop 
this bogus conference. Please forward this message to other mailing lists and 
people. 


We are shocked with Prof. Hamid Arabnia and his puppet’s activities 
http://worldcomp-fake-bogus.blogspot.com   Search Google using the 
keyword worldcomp fake for additional links.

I'll write here the reasoning behind this, so that it can be corrected 
if needed.


Ariel's special version available at http://www.openoffice.org/porting/ 
uses glibc 2.5. It satisfies all users, including Red Hat 5 (and, fully 
compatible, CentOS 5) users. So adopting this as a baseline should 
guarantee that our binaries run on almost all vendor-supported 
distributions. Red Hat 5 and CentOS 5 are quite old but still supported 
from their vendors, and reasonably common in corporate environments.

Wellthis is interesting. I don't know much about CentOS but just
briefly taking a look just now, I don't see any reason to NOT use the
latest and greatest -- CentOS 6. Others opinions may vary. :)

I can't determine the openJDK for this release. CentOS 5 has this bit of
info --

java-1.70-openjdk


I think the old buildbot was using openJDK 6.0.

OS for main AOO buildbots

2013-04-02 Thread Andrew Rist
In discussions with infra, (mine and Andrea's) an idea has been hatched 
to create a CentOS buildbot.

This would replace the defunct linux32 bot (previously ubuntu 10.4).
In addition to changing the OS, we will also build this on the machine 
currently hosting the linux64 build.
That bot has a whole machine to itself, so instead of a lightly used 
linux64 bot, the idea is to have a heavily
used linux32 bot, with a flow for (most) every branch, for snapshots, 
and potentially for automated testing.


Here's the question:

What version of CentOS do we want on this machine?  We want the snapshot 
builds to be fully usable.

Have you thought of signing up for an editor's account for the blog?  It
would probably be faster next time for you to make such changes directly.

Re: Blind Accessibility

2013-04-02 Thread Waldorf PC
Hi:

It is a relief that I am not the only one who has concerns about
accessibility. Jennifer, thank you for jumping on board with this, as
I have been swamped with my own work and all.

I tried downloading Symphony, and it was a disaster. I never got the
program to work, and it ended up causing registry problems. I could
not even delete the program in the regular fashion by going through
the control panel. I had to manually delete it and take it out of the
registry. I have decided not to revisit Symphony and wait for the new
release of Open Office. Since this test version is now available, I
wish to test it out on my own machine. I am running Windows 8. Please
let me know if it will work on this machine or if I will have to use
another machine with an older operating system. I will run this
release through a rigorous testing protocol and will be able to let
you know if it is an assistive technology issue or a program issue,
and I will provide you with a fix to bridge the gap.

I am so glad we can all work together on this.

Warm regards,
Reina Grosvalet

Re: Blind Accessibility

2013-04-02 Thread Jean-Philippe MENGUAL
Hf,

I did my 1st test today. Indeed it works fine. 2 categories of questions:
is it possible to localize such release or not yet? Besides, the fact that the
characters formatting isn't recognized, the navigating in the tables is not yet
perfect: are they issues related to assistive technologies? Or could OOo make
progress such features?

Thanks anyway for this great work. If I can localize, I think I'm going to use
OOo on Windows more often. So far I only use it on Linux.

Regards,

JPM

Hi Keith,

   Hi. I'm writing a book with a large number of equations and
cross-references in it and recently ran up against a problem saving the
file. There are approximately 4800 equations currently in the text and
many cross-references and figures. When I add equations I get a save
error: "Error saving the document , General Error. General
input/output error."

   I don't know if this is a bug in the program or a "feature". Is there
a coded limit to the number of equations that can be put into a
document? If so, in what file in the source would I find it specifically?


Have you already increased the "Cache for inserted objects" in Tools >

need the highest setting.


I don't know, whether a limit exists. Try whether the problem disappears, 
when you divide the document in two parts.


  Hi Regina. Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, after increasing to 
1024 the file saving problem still exists. I also backed off on the number 
of undo steps and the memory per object to save some memory but to no 
avail.


  I wonder, would it be possible to increase the cache in the source and 
recompile the program?

Maybe others have been looking at this...please step in if you are doing
this.

Given we are now close to Apr.5 (the planned regression test date), this
could be a good time for us to look at the current status for all the items
(features/enhancements) in 4.0.

I'm looking at the wiki page here,
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+Planning.
Two questions here, 1) do we have more new items in 4.0? if yes, can people
help to add? 2) still quite some items are at the "proposed" status...we
may need to either update the status, or move some to future candidates.
Thoughts?

Re: Forums down (SQL error: Too many connections [1040])

2013-04-02 Thread janI
HI.

I have now been on the forum vm, testing my new access.

While I was in there I made a couple of observations:

1) number of apache work thread > mysql max_connections, which is generally
a bad idea. The number of work tasks is higher than the actual load calls
for, so the work parameter should be adjusted.
2) mysql tables are not performing too well (indexes), it seems they were
last tuned ages ago. Some of the table could benefit from being converted
to innoDb.
3) memory/disk and other resources are fine and not a problem

4) due to the heavy php usage, the site would benefit from fast-cgi
(requires httpd upgrade)
5) It seems that a lot of identical pages are been requested, using
trafficserver would lower the mysql load a lot (on wiki2 the difference is
more or less double). This might also call for some more memory.

Some work for the new maintenance team.
