OK, thanks!


I will for sure not able to

Then it makes sense to continue with the current approach in order to 
have dev snapshot that are very close to release builds.

[DISCUSS] "No Suitable JRE" Message

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

"Some OpenOffice operations use Java Runtime (JRE). 
 A suitable JRE is unavailable. For details
 http://openoffice.org/java.html";

I am proposing this to avoid the various cases that arise, not just the 32-bit 
on x64 Windows case.  It would be great to look at how this wording works for 
non-native English speakers and also how easily it is translated for 
localization.  

Any simpler way to say this?

I read through the text at the target URL: my thoughts are that it is

OK. I just created a page for topics.

Good news! It really is inevitable that we need this.

I would really like to know at some point why we're so tethered to ver 5?

Coming to doing: I can prepare a CentOS 5 VM (64 bit) during the 
weekend, with the same disk layout as the current CentOS 6 VM and with 
the same sshd configuration. I will need information on how the network 
is supposed to be configured, since ideally I'd like to have it working

Of course, before that we should ensure that we still have tethys 
available and that it already has a supported (by Infra, I mean) 64-bit 
Linux system as the host (or that one is installed via the standard 
Infra processes). Should this paragraph go to an Infra JIRA?

【QUESTION】all the file was Gone after updated my Mac Book

[Eriko Lua Cheia]

Hello,

I've just recently updated my macbook, Mac OS X version 10.6.8
I had charts stored in Apeche OpenOffice 4.0.1 and I cannot open None of
the files now.
I was looking for the help/answers in the website, but it was too
complicated to find the topic or answers that might help my issue.

Will you be able to help me solve this problem?
Thank you.

In the meaning of that presentation (2012), it was a web-based version 
to be used with a browser, with an adaptive UI: see 
https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/apache_openoffice_track_at_apachecon 
(which may be down when you read this due to the planned maintenance 
announced yesterday: see 
http://www.slideshare.net/pescetti/cloud-apache-openoffice-based-on-html5 for 
the presentation, which also had an interesting demo). If you need a 
higher-resolution version to be able to read the code more easily, I can 
probably find it somewhere.


I have no news at all about this effort too, but maybe it is worth 
investigating.

  Andrea.

attachments get stripped here, so we cannot see the error message. 
However, as you write that you have no problem with downloading the

Let’s create a wiki on this subject and then remind the lists of deadlines, etc.

Personally, I like topics that question as well as present; that don’t just 
preach to attendant choirs but engage the skepticism of audiences and answer 
the doubts, problems, and so on. Or, suggest strong solutions. By which I mean 
those that can actually be implemented by regular people, as well as by 
corporate equivalents.

I don’t think it really matters whether it be CloudFoundry (which strives to 
gather contribution and more from many) or Red Hat or Buzzword Foundry (which I 
just made up). 

More to the point: what would be meant by having “OpenOffice in the cloud”?  
When I was at Sun/Oracle, yes, we did work on this. But what is intended? 
Enterprise use? IBM’s Notes does this, albeit within a proprietary wrapper, I 
believe. And rollApp, among others, does something almost desirable but more so 
if accessed within an intranet, as usability of the service would depend on 
proximity (speed) to the servers.

Furthermore, there were other open source efforts to provide useful OpenOffice 
in there cloud, again prior to Sun’s sinking. These have pretty much vanished 
or are recalled with rue…. or realization that something better is wanted. I 
think Corinthia might be relevant here :-) (And to echo Jose, “Of course, I am 
slightly biased.”)

but….

@ Jose RR: Red Hat is currently supporting LibreOffice development, isn’t it? 
Or has that changed? I’ve not kept up to date.

Questions about code reviews and static analysis tools for TU Delft research

[Radjino Bholanath]

Hi,

I'm doing research on code reviews and static analysis tools at the SERG group 
(http://swerl.tudelft.nl/bin/view/Main/WebHome) of the Delft University of 
Technology. Currently, we want to give an overview of the usage of code review 
and static analysis tools in open source projects. Therefore, I would be very 
happy to know a little bit more about how code reviews are used in OpenOffice 
and if (and maybe how) static analysis tools are used. I have a couple of 
questions for anyone willing to answer:

1. Do all developers (contributors and core developers) have to submit a code 
review for every change? I’m asking because many projects only review changes 
made by contributors.
2. Which code review tools are used?
3. Are static analyzers used? If they are used:
a. Is passing the checks of the static analyzers necessary for a change to be 
accepted?
b. Which static analyzers are used?

Thanks,
Radjino

this is something that is possible and I would like to move this to
