Hi, Alexander Thurgood wrote on 2011-03-10 14.36: One must be careful here that the Foundation does not exceed its statutory and legal obligations - collecting a percentage of monies raised by local associations for the use of TDF/LIbO trademarks could be seen as trademark licensing in some jurisdictions, which may or may not be permitted under law. thanks for the hint - didn't take that into account. IMHO, our trademark policiy is not officially in effect yet. What shall we reply to Daniel Gonzalez (who asked on the US marketing list) for now? Anyone has an idea? My take is that temporarily, it is okay to use our logo, if they do not claim collecting on behalf of TDF. This however is only temporary, until our TM policy and a subsequent policy on fundraising is in effect. Thoughts?

Hi, sophie wrote on 2011-03-10 15.19: Something to think about or not? I've already answered to the OP. definitely something to think about. We can also extend the blog and wiki articles with Flattr buttons, and they would offer something like a monthly subscription/fee.

Re: [steering-discuss] libreoffice.org e-mail accounts
Hi, Jaime R. Garza wrote on 2011-03-11 16.32: Because some E-Mail servers that receive E-Mails from other E-Mails servers that are not verified with the proper domain, will be blocked or classified as SPAM. At least that's my experience, I have my own domain and when I sent E-Mails from my gmail account using my own domain E-mail, many people told me the E-Mail was classified as spam. As soon as I configured my domain with Google Apps, the problem was solved. Maybe I'm wrong or I did something incorrectly, but at least that was my experience. Please correct me if I'm wrong. it depends. :-) If the sending mail server is safely configured otherwise (i.e. not blacklisted, ideally whitelisted, PTR records do match etc., the things any postmaster has to know about), then it should be no problem, given that two factors are met: 1. No SPF records configured, or configured with ?all 2. No DKIM records configured, or configured with (IMHO) dkim=unknown Otherwise, mails would be classified as spam indeed. We made quite good experience in the past: Many of us used their @openoffice.org accounts, but there was no official SMTP server. Worked like a charm, as neither DKIM nor SPF was configured within the openoffice.org domain name.

Re: [steering-discuss] Reducing donation ads
Hi, Charles-H. Schulz wrote on 2011-03-13 12.58: +1 as well. I think what's going on in Japan is shocking and terrible (I'm stuck to online news and twitter feeds atm) but we TDF has no fundamental material way to help out -unless someone comes up with an idea. Let's hope and pray for Japan, two hearts are beating in my breast here -- on the one hand, sure, we cannot do that much. On the other hand, it's a question of grace to freeze our fundraising for a few days, to show there are more important things at the moment... but I am undetermined.

[steering-discuss] Re: Fwd: Fundraising events
Sorry Guys I did not know they had moved the thread to the list of sc. I would argue that just as there should be an organization sophie in each country or each region to be responsible for collecting a percentage of proceeds to TDF Suppose that in Venezuela there are 10 organizations that distribute LibreOffice material should be 1 main organization that receives part of these contributions for submission to TDF in this way each one would take a portion for the maintenance of the project either local, regional or global (TDF) . TDF can return after the fundraiser in the form of support for each locality, in the form of money or in other ways, technology, DVD, shirts, pens etc. My particular case I'm in Venezuela, I thought about making a small investment of my pocket to get my investment and start raising funds for the project LibreOffice in Venezuela and other countries in need such as Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica among others. We also hope to donate part of the collection to TDF I welcome your comments -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to steering-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

[tdf-discuss] Feature request - embed font
Hi. I have been a SO, OO, now LO user for many years. One area where I frequently encounter hassle is with layout changes due to different fonts on different PC's. Most of my documents are data sheets or manuals and include special fonts (LCD display, etc.) and even with standard fonts there can be problems. It would be very usefull if there was an option to embed a font in a document. Most recently I deleted my Arial font off my Mac and installed the Arial from my Suse because the Mac Arial had different characters and kerning. Embedding a font is a big bonus for a suite that wants to be truly system portable. steve -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
[tdf-discuss] Bug or new feature
Hi. LO, also OO do not create pdf's correctly from documents containing EPS's. This occurs on 3.3.1 on Suse and OSX.
