COMDEV-76 [GSoC] Test Document Generator/Permutator for Apache OpenOffice

[Sony Kovoor]

Hi all,

I am an open source enthusiast and was looking forward to contribute
towards the community. It was then I heard about ASF Mentoring program[1]
conducted in association with ICFOSS[2] in India by Luciano Resende[3] and
attended it.

As a part of the program, we have to take up an idea from 2013 ICFOSS
Programme Project Ideas JIRA[4] and solve it under a formal mentor.

I would like to know whether any one has already taken up COMDEV-76
[GSoC] Test Document Generator/Permutator for Apache OpenOffice[5]. If not,
any one here is willing to support me with formal mentor-ship, more details
of the idea and induce me to the world of open source development.

Thank you for your contributions. CWiki insists that I am "not permitted

it. Please copy it to CWiki before making other changes.


Apache OpenOffice

Apache OpenOffice is an open-source, office-document productivity
suite providing six productivity applications based around the
OpenDocument Format (ODF). OpenOffice is released on multiple
platforms and in dozens of languages.

Issues for Board Awareness
---

OpenOffice, like the ASF as a whole, is hit by the announced policy
change of Apache Extras. The project currently stores several libraries
there, in an area known as ooo-extras, and the build process downloads
them when options like --enable-category-b are used. A solution should
be found at the ASF level.

Community Development/Outreach Progress
---

The project added 4 committers (May: dwhytock, akerbeltz, vkadal;
July: pmralbuquerque) and one new PMC member (April: jani) since our
last report in April.

These new committers are primarily involved in the translation efforts
to incorporate additional native language capability into Apache
OpenOffice. Our new PMC member has many years of experience in open
source, and is assisting in administration of our LAMP servers.

A new documentation effort for an end-users manual under the ALv2
licence was started on the OpenOffice Wiki and is progressing well.

OpenOffice is participating in the Google Summer of Code program for
the first time after several years.

Community support forums remain popular with users. The mailing lists
for user support, localization, QA and marketing are quite active. As
Apache OpenOffice is a client product, we continue to investigate ways
to direct users to appropriate support venues. The developer list,
ooo-dev, remains very active.

Product/Project Development Progress


We will be releasing Apache OpenOffice 4.0 in July, likely the week
of July 15.

This release will feature a new, more modern, user interface, a
reworked directory layout to simplify development and installation,
code updates to allow building on newer platforms and (at least) 23
languages.

In preparation for the upcoming 4.0 release, new rebranding was
undertaken with a public call and survey resulting in the adoption of a
new logo and other graphic elements ready for the release. Many of our
new volunteers were instrumental in this process.

Activities that are already ongoing and will be finalized after the
release date include: the rejuvenate01 branch, to explore using native
platform capabilities and libraries for building rather than
downloading for building as has been done in the past; the IA2
accessibility work; actions for an easier installation and availability
on mainstream Linux distributions; a new localization process, that so
far has seen the source tree cleaned of non en-US messages allowing
normal translation of these parts; a build approach that is
progressively dropping the historical dmake in favor of GNU make.

Taking these kind of development steps will result in both a better
product for end users and simplify development and building for new
developers.

Re: [UX][DESIGN EXPLORATION] - flat application icons

[Samer Mansour]

I don't know what 'dia' means.

My opinion is that we should not worry about them being all the same or all
unique.
If the product's default perspective is landscape I did landscape, vice
versa if its default if portrait I did portrait.

When we go circle we gain space for the application picture, we also gain
"circle" branding.
Vice versa, when its square we loose circle branding but can gain gull
branding, loosing space though for gull.

Also putting the gull in the circle but not in one of the two places make
it looks wrong when icon is compared to official logo.

When I open documents I see a blank page (preferably with paragraphs).
When I open spreadsheets I see cells.
When I open presentations, I see bullets and a title.
When I open draw, my first experience was clicking rectangle and placing it
down on the canvas.
When I think formulas, I think Sum (Sigma).
When I think database. I think f*** how am I going to represent that?

That's the important part, think how a (slow) user would think.
Familiarity. Pretty comes second.

This will also make it easier for volunteers to see what areas need

review canceled: [Bug 121754] Build HSQLDB with JDK 7 : [Attachment 81042] remove the failiing part

[bugzilla]

Andrea Pescetti  has canceled Regina Henschel
's request for review:
Bug 121754: Build HSQLDB with JDK 7
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121754

Attachment 81042: remove the failiing part
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=81042&action=edit


--- Additional Comments from Andrea Pescetti 
Status: this new patch removes all ^M characters (line-ends problems) and only
keeps the code differences, thus removing readme and HTML files. If you examine
the options given to diff, you'll see that I had to fiddle with line-ends due
to the fact that the two versions have different line-end conventions. So the
patch was not mixing line-ends per se, it was a diff between files with
different line-ends conventions.

Tested like the other time: hsqldb module built successfully under Java 6 and 7
(Linux). Regina, thanks for your feedback and if you now can build on Windows
too then this should be fine.

build break problems with r1500167 for bug 121754

[Regina Henschel]

Hi all,

The commit r1500167 for 
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121754 breaks build on 
Windows in hsqldb. You see this break in buildbot aoo-win7 too.


The error is, that the part of trunk\main\hsqldb\patches\i121754.patch, 
that should patch the file readme.txt does not apply. I have removed 
that part on my PC and the build finished then without problems.


But I'm not able to fix it on master. Whatever I do, I get a diff, which 
does not only contains removing the above mentioned part (which is line 
68 to 80 in the original file), but the diff generated by git removes 
all lines and then added the lines which should stay.


I first thought it might be, because I messed up UNIX/DOS line ends, but 
even when I carefully only use UNIX line ends, the problem stays.


Therefore it would be nice when someone with more experience than me 
could fix the build break in master.


Kind regards
Regina

Requesting release blocker flag because a better default size would greatly
benefit the new sidebar feature.

The change is small and the probability for introducing regressions is small. 
Only Linux (GTK module) is affected.

Default size on Linux

[Andre Fischer]

Hi,

I would like to propose another small enhancement: a change of the 
default size of application windows on Linux.  In some cases--Writer, 
start center, Math, Base--the application window is almost square by 
default (for Calc, Impress and Draw it is fullscreen).  This does not 
work well with the new sidebar, which was designed with widescreen 
displays in mind.

height of the screen, on which the application starts.For screen widths 
of 1024 and below I would still use the current values (therefore you 
will see no differences in the 1024x768 and 800x600 screen shots.)  As

and accepted (at least I know of no complaints).  The default fullscreen 
mode for Calc, Impress and Draw would not be changed.

smaller versions (25% and 50%) along with the original sizes:


 800x 600  25% [1],  50% [2],  100% [3]

Interesting.  I'd love to interview you for a blog post on your work
with OpenOffice and the inmates, if you would be willing.  This sounds
like a good story that our user community would enjoy reading.

We have various tutorials, as I'm sure you've seen.  But we (Apache)
don't currently have formal user certificates.  There is, however, a
3rd party that offers accredited user certification per frameworks in
the UK and Europe:

https://theingots.org/community/CertOOo

I'm not deeply familiar with that work, but if you contact Ian I'm
sure he can explain it better.

Some checks like this can be automated as well with scripts or by
using the ODF Toolkit, if you look at the original ODF file rather
than the PDF.

Very good, thanks. There is some dangerous mix of whitespaces and

officially released) and it might be that "patch" gets confused on some
systems. If you haven't already done so, please fix it in trunk too


I cannot fix it on trunk now. I'm struggling with git and something 
wrong would go to trunk.

I have added a plain patch to the issue to show what needs to be removed.




Of course, removing the part of the patch that applies to readme.txt
does not have any practical consequence.

The part, where the readme file is patched, does not apply on Windows but
produces a build break. The attached patch removes that part.

I wonder, that the file i121754.patch has DOS line ends (and so has this
patch). In addition I currently struggle with git. So please have a look and
help fixing it on master.

Re: [UX][DESIGN EXPLORATION] - flat application icons

[Armin Le Grand]

Hi Samer,

nice stuff! No longer the basic 'app'-like shape, but nice ;-) I like 
the round ones, this is a visible change. I miss the gulls less than I 
would have imagined before seeing it...


Some thoughts on looking at them:
- The symbols in the objects are well distinguishable. The presentation 
one is rounded, the others have sharp edges. Would it be possible to 
have sharp/round for all uniquely? Maybe a unique size for all, too?
- For Impress I still would prefer the 'dia' association, a frame with 
the classic 'dia' dimensions and an open 'window' in the center, like in 
the set from Kevin two above yours.


Just my thoughts (and just suggestions of course)

Hi Everyone, took another stab:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO4+-+Desktop+Icons

Upon scaling down, I can tweak line thicknesses to create sharper small set
icons, I only scaled cheap to get this draft out on the mailing list for
comments.

Here are my thoughts when creating those:

Flatter, sharper, more contrast, less gradients.
People mentions circle is part of the brand, note taken and implemented.
People mentioned too many gradients, I created this icon set back in
December 2012 before we were inspired by the flat idea. Gradients have been
removed.
Someone mentioned shoot the birds, so I played Duck Hunt with them.
Someone said my icon for Impress was less than, I choose not to act on it
for the time being.
I like the oblique styling on the Sigma, that's what the person building
the shed wants to do.
Jurgen mentioned boarders too dark, I forgot to lighten them, but can in
future iterations.
Rob mentioned templates to be dotted, did it, works.  And its still similar
enough for 3.x users to transition to.

If time is running out, we can do just the main application icon for now.
I'm ok with doing these for 4.1

This issue is still valid and important  but I see no activity here from the
affected translation community. We should push this issue for 4.1 more
actively. Thanks Ariel for raising this issue and also for raising awareness on
the mailing list.

Requesting show stopper flag to make a new feature as good as possible.
Fix exists. Should be harmless because it just changes some colors and

This problem is triggered by the client code and seems to work in Basic. Needs
further investigation and the issues exists already in version 3.3

If a usable and uncritical solution will be provided in time I will grant the
showstopper flag.

 indeed it could help but the page was not easy to find when losing this
 email out of focus.

 And I am wondering why it is not placed under Project Planning ->
 Releases -> AOO 4.0

Marcus I know that you have worked on the new directory structure and
tested it already. Can you please point me to the related information
that I can prepare my copy scripts accordingly to have them in place as
well.

Re: EXTERNAL: Re: OpenOffice 3.3 and Java 7

[Herbert Duerr]

Hi Raymond,

Thanks for the response. I've been informed by Nicolas Christoper of Adfinis 
Sygroup that the Solaris x86 port was not completed, but could be completed at 
cost. I am not sure where my organization will go from here. We've been using 
the OpenOffice API to meet some of our customer requirements and would like to 
stick with OpenOffice to prevent any re-engineering for another office suite. 
However, as I said, the Java 7 directive is now forcing our hand in one 
direction.  In an attempt to prevent any additional cost to our project, it may 
be in our best interest to port  OpenOffice to Solaris x86 ourselves, but we 
are considering our options. Advice?


One option is to work with the Adfinis guys, the other option is to 
finish the port yourself by building and testing it on the target platform.


A nice start into this topic is available [1], especially its "how to 
create your own port" paragraph. In this case things should be easy as 
the Solaris port used to be maintained and related Unix ports were 
always progressing nicely. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.

Re: IA2 branch testing of r1484083 merege with trunk

[Steve Yin]

Jamie and Stuart,

Sorry for the slowness of the IA2 development in the current phase. And I
will continue to push the IA2 dev work after the AOO 4.0 release. The
Presentation and Spreadsheet IA2 support were proposed in the next release
(AOO 4.1). Thanks a lot for your understanding. : )
