Hi,

each time selecting LO help, this link wants to load:

help.libreoffice.org

swriter

/.uno%3AHelpIndex?Language=

en

-US=

UNIX

=5.1


Requesting en-us


but how do you access the local help, what format is it in ?

$ du -sh /usr/share/libreoffice/help/
25M/usr/share/libreoffice/help/

$ aptitude show libreoffice-help-en-gb

Having en-gb installed won't help.

Format is a jar archive with XML files in it (plus index files)



So either use LO in en-gb or install en-us help.

Ciao
Christian

Call Minutes

Date: Monday, May 23, 2016
Location: Phone Conference Room

Session chair: Marina Latini
Keeper of the minutes: Michael Meeks

In the call: Michael (BoD), Marina (BoD), Thorsten (BoD), Osvaldo (BoD), 
Kendy (BoD), Eike (BoD), Björn (Deputy BoD), Italo, Florian, Jiri 
Eischmann (Red Hat), Stephan Bergmann


Representation: Björn for Simon

Chairwoman of the Board is in the call. One of the Chairman or Deputy is 
required to be present or represented for having a quorate call.


The Board of Directors at the time of the call consists of 7 seat 
holders without deputies. In order to be quorate, the call needs to have 
1/2 of the Board of Directors members, which gives 4. A total of 7 Board 
of Directors members or their representatives are attending the call.


The board waives all formal statutory requirements, or requirements in 
the foundations articles, or other requirements regarding form and 
invitation, time limits, and for the topics discussed in this meeting.


The call is quorate. From now on, motions can be passed with the 
agreement of a simple majority of those remaining present. The majority 
threshold is currently 4.


The meeting commences at 17:07 Berlin time.

Public agenda:

1. Discussion: New packaging formats (Eike)
See https://whatofhow.wordpress.com/2016/05/13/libreoffice-flatpak/
 * Flatpak format for newer distributions
 * Eike: Would like to see Flatpak format as one of our official 
distribution formats provided by TDF

   * infrastructure, release engineering
 * Jiri: technology has been around for 1,5-2 years, couple of upstream 
projects (GNOME, KDE etc.) already experiment with that
   * bundling and sandboxing technology, one installation file for 
multiple distributions and their versions
   * is more secure through sandboxing, although X-Server can cause 
troubles until Wayland is in place
   * another benefit is that we can directly roll out updates into the 
distributions
 * Michael: what's the base of the container? runtimes, LibO built with 
GTK runtimes, but vendor-independent, distribution neutral
 * Jiri proposes to have it as official format for LibO 5.2, incl. 
distribution to mirrors + TDF endorsement for that, does not ask for 
exclusivity
   * Love the idea, community project, Stephan done some great work 
(Michael)

   + lets be enthusiastic about it.
   * Thorsten: GTK vs KDE
   + people around Qt, working on the KDE run-time (Jiri)
  + need to
   * how much work ? (Thorsten)
   + have at the moment - a shell-script that does a complete build 
& pkg (Stephan)
  + technically need, a TDF machine - that is new enough to 
support flat-pack

  + builds of latest flat-pack 0.6
  + already in contact with Christian
  + can be yet-another VM - but happier to merge with existing.
  + not really different from any other builds.
   * Two stories (Bjoern)
   + flat-pack release
  + not seen a first release, and/or how much work it is.
   + who does the builds
  + do should do that for other new package formats; eg. snap ?
   + Current release - disables Java
  + not a full drop-in release yet.
   + Build script downloads things
* Can sign the flat-packs (Stephan)
* Concerns about missing Java parts & TDF doing it from the start 
(Bjoern)

* Would love to show community contributed build on DL page (Michael)
   + same with 'portable' download versions (Thorsten)
   + agreed (Bjoern, Marina)
* Will work with Cloph to make & sign builds (Cloph)
+ Eager to get a quote (Jiri)
   + can we get a downloadable version first (Michael)
  + happy to help with marketing to devs etc.
  + end-users prolly not so interested yet.

2. Vote: Changes for tdf-members list (Thorsten)

Proposed text for the announcement on the list, to also be sent to any

"Dear members,

  the TDF board & staff is working on improving communication and
  transparency of how TDF operates, and what decisions are taken.

  One of the items identified is that you, as trustees of the
  foundation, deserve more timely updates on what's going on. As these
  things go, that sometimes requires confidentiality, as e.g. press
  statements need to be refined, people briefed, or competitors not to
  be alerted ahead of time.

  So effective today, postings on this list are considered private
  communication among TDF members. To assure mutual confidentiality,
  and for being able to share increasingly more stuff with you as
  members, TDF asks you to specifically not forward emails from this
  list, or otherwise spread information conveyed.

  Please understand that leakage of any kind will
