[tdf-discuss] the Meaning of access in manifesto

2011-02-08 Thread Johannes A. Bodwing

Hello,

what does access mean in the manifesto: to eliminate the digital 
divide in society by giving everyone access to office productivity tools 
free of charge to enable them to participate as full citizens in the 
21st century
Is it only the possibility for someone to download from TDF/LO-Sites or 
a more active way like a distribution by pre-installed LO on PC too?

What does TDF really/precisely understand with access?

Greetings,
Johannes

Re: [tdf-discuss] Do not support writing to OOXML format

2011-01-04 Thread Johannes A. Bodwing

Hi Ian,

...


  And they are not equal. That's my problem with it at the moment.

I don't really understand how this democratic-meritocratic principle
works. And what you explain below with Microsoft, for me it is not
meritocratic or democratic that's an ethical aspect.


Democracy means that everyone has the potential to contribute,


Democracy simply means representation of the people (community). Even
established democracies don't have referendums on every issue. Party
political systems mean that there are real limits to what any individual can
contribute. I can't go and contribute directly to new legislation other than
by saying what I think and hope it will influence someone. That is not
really much different from a FOSS project.


...

What you say about democracy, political parties eg is the today 
situation. But eventually think about this:
Democratic systems have the power and lot of money for secret 
cyber-tasks, for a hidden worldwide web of information and spy-systems 
and so on. They find it important, they give the money to do it and they 
have the will to do it. That's possible but not a better flow of 
information between citizens and politicians to create a more real 
democracy. There is no democratic-task, no worldwide-web of democratic 
informations. There is no will to involve more people in decisions or 
for the prefield of decisions.

What will I say with this?
Can we organize the structure of LO with examples in mind which have not 
the will for transparancy?

Or must there be a thinking like:
ESC has the final decision, OK.
And for that, what are the best conditions that they have the best 
informations to make the best decisions for the best (open) Office Suite?

Eventually this is one other task for the time after the phase of beginning.

Greetings,
Johannes

[tdf-discuss] LO 3.3 RC 2 - Colour for insert columns and rows in Writer

2011-01-03 Thread Johannes A. Bodwing

Hello,

it's about a table in writer and the icons to insert columns and rows.
The colour now is yellow. I find it not a good choice because it's a 
pale kind of yellow and not good to see.

What about a more saturated yellow or a kind of blue or purple or orange?

Hi Italo,

What's the background (for ESC) to decide what leads to the best

I apologize for repeating myself, but the ESC will decide upon 
positive contributions, suggestions or requests. You suggest a 
feature, promote a technology, contribute a new export filter.

...

What I mean now with a real example.
What if I would propose to transform the startcenter into a individual 
desktop with drop and drag like the former integrated desktop of 
StarOffice. And I would also propose to make it choosable for users:

~ to have it in the LO-window like now the startcenter
~ to dock it like toolbars (perhaps with a constant distance from the 
dokument-window)
~ to use it like an external container of individual folders, files 
and links.


How would someone decide whether it were a positiv feature for LO or not?
Because no one has a crystall ball to look into the future. And it could 
be, that such a proposal is denied by LO but ten months later another 
producer of an office-suit succeeds with just such a feature.


And if it were denied, is it lost than till somebody others makes the 
same proposal years later. Or is there a system to save proposals for a 
later check under new conditions.


That's my problem with the decisions.
But it hasn't to be answered right now. I'll ask such things after the 
3.3-release again.

Hi Leif,

Dear Larry,
...

I disagree with you of two reasons:
1) LibreOffice is free software. If any developer wants to improve the
code - he or she has the freedom to do so. I think this is one very
important stand. We have seen other products in the marked licensed as
open source but that are not free software. Who should decide what what
is 'good' and what is 'bad' code?

Nobody. Because !

We are not building a cathedral are we? Not because the bazaar works
fine for us.


I agree too in one point: LibreOffice is free software as a software.
But we speak about LO as the substantial product of TDF. And TDF wants 
to evolve the community of OOo eg. With that LO is part of the community.

Why can than one group or one person decide about important things?

important information is not available in short time. The same as OOo ;-)



I'll contribute in my sparetime, not only write mails and steal
the time of other members of the community.


Thanks for the clearness ;-)
That means, you don't know it. Why don't you say that clearly, instead 
of such sideblows?



So if you want to be a member of LibreOffice also go ahead and decide, what you

Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: Name Change for LibreOffice Applications

2010-12-20 Thread Johannes A. Bodwing

Hello,



... for Spreadsheed / Presentation / Drawing / Formula.

...
So we could have:
Text
Table
Presentation
Drawing
Formula




I think we discuss on the basis of computer-stoneage. For example 
Writer/Word/Text e.g., this began decades ago with only text and a 
handful of fonts and simple layout inside an 1 MB RAM (or less).
Nowadays Writer/Text is more than pages with words. With LO it is 
possible to create complex layout with different fonts, stiles, 
pictures, graphic and charts to get books with hundreds of pages in 
professional styling.
Writer/Text/Word are phrases from the past. In the case of Writer/Text 
we continue StarWriter from 1985 with a modern LO. But this phrases do 
not reflect the present status of a modern Office-Suite like LO.
If we change names, we should do it on the background of the real 
functions of a modern Office-Suite. For that eventually we have to think 
deeply about a complete new naming-background for the future LO.

Names for the moduls of LO are not yet the thing. Like some others 
already said:

First their is the final release of LO 3.3 (in januaray 2011 I think).
In my opinion after this release we have to clear the goals of TDF and 
LO and what kind of Office-Suite LO should be in or for the future. 
Eventually even what other kind of software TDF will make.
After that we have a better basis to discuss or not about the best names 
for LO-modules.
That doesn't mean that we fall silent. Everyone can collect his/her 
ideas till the release of LO 3.3, and then - kick off for the best open 
Office Suite ever.


This leads me to the question: Who from TDF/LO has the overview of the 
most effiency schedule for major steps of the TDF/LO-project?
Is there someone who says what has to come next to build the project in 
its best way with the personal it has at the moment?
And could it be helpful to have such a schedule on the webiste of TDF 
and all national groups, with a rough timetable and permanently refreshed?

Benjamin Horst wrote (14-12-10 16:21)


I agree with you about the possible negative connotations of the term
manager, but I think it's just a terminology problem. You could
think of the role as Community Facilitator or even host if you
prefer. The actual tasks inherent to the role are similar to the host
of a party--introducing people to others with similar interests,
helping to coordinate times, places and necessities, etc.

In practice, it's hugely helpful to have someone walking around to
make sure that good ideas don't get lost and plans receive
encouragement and assistance until they are completed. They can also
play the role of matchmaker, to help find volunteers for important
initiatives that don't have enough helpers.

I also understand the desire to form a clean break from the past and
to build our own thing this time. I think it's the right approach,
but I don't think it means we can eliminate the role of the community
manager, though renaming it to better suit our project's culture
certainly makes sense.


+1
Very well said, IMO.
A good manager serves the community. A manager is not a commander.
Being a good manager is a time-consuming task. It involves knowing 
what is going on, understanding the 'how-to's' of many community 
members, and finding a balance between letting flow, and linking 
actively, proposing, intervening etc.
I am sure our bye-laws provide us with some officers, of which I 
expect one to do this job.


Regards,
Cor


I agree -- and to avoid the negative implications of manager how 
about calling this valuable person the Community Coordinator?


What's the construction we talk about?
If we install someone like a community coordinator, than the term says 
he/she coordinates the community.
What than does TDF or the steering committee? Their mission is to evolve 
the OpenOffice.org-Community into a new open ... and so on.
I think we have not enough clearness about the things TDF/LO consists 
of. There is in a rough form:

a Community - a Product (LO)
the Community is build of developers, users, sponsors, contributors and 
so on
the Product is at the moment the sequel of OOo; later on it could be 
additional software too in the kind of open-source

the Community as a whole works to offer the software to the public.
and that all should work with a global dimension as well as with 
national or local basis.


I propose to think it from the core. And that is at the moment:
We construct an organisation (TDF) to develop and contribute a 
software-product (LO).
Or a little bit harder: We build a kind of MS in an open and 
non-profit-oriented form ;-)
Than the elementary question is: How has a structure to be to fulfill 
our goals in the best way it could be done?
Also this structure has to include the tools to reach as many people 
as possible (for development, testing, marketing, sponsoring and so on).


With this aspects we have to proof the current form of TDF, trim it to a 
better level, proof the goals, check the construction, trim it and so on.
For that we need an adequate exchange of information. For example the 
best configuration of mailing-lists, collaborative working, and others more.
Because nearly all of this has a global basis and a national one, 
regional or local, the relevant information has finally to spread to 
every member of the community. Also every (good) idea of a member has to 
reach the national or global basis.


And now another important question: Should we begin right now - or 
should we wait till the final release of LO?

Because many people are in the preparation of this release.
Otherwise the clock is ticking and some people dont develop, test and so 
on. They could work on a (rough) sketch of the fundamental aspects of 
the TDF-structure, to bring it forward as fast as possible.


At last back to the Community Coordinator. This function we have 
install on the best position inside the best construction of TDF we 
could make. Eventually in the beginning like a joker without a 
determined position.

Johannes

Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: TDF/LO on a wrong way?

2010-12-15 Thread Johannes A. Bodwing

Hi Marc,
here just the first point.

... Le 2010-12-14 07:52, Johannes A. Bodwing a écrit :

Sorry people,
 ...

I fear we will loose our goals short after beginning.
OK, that's hard. But look at OOo and its goals and what is realized
after ten years.


We will work on the goals, mission, values etc. of the LO soon. This 
is an item that has been discussed on the marketing list. These will 
not necessarily be the same as the TDF. I think that most members 
recognise that the TDF and LO will need to be represented on different 
sites.


The more I try to understand TDF/LO I understand it less.
What I think to know about it at the moment is:
~ TDF has a mission. In short: to build better conditions for a 
community, like it is said on the TDF-Website. The purpose is not 
mentioned there. But it is the Office-Suite LO as a sequel to the 
OOo-Office-Suite in a freer frame. (OK, some time it was thought it 
could be OOo again).
~ That means TDF has no (clear) mission at the moment for LO. But the 
core of the TDF-Community is the Office-Suite LO. And TDF is founded for 
building and progress of LO.
~ TDF offers the final LO in the next few weeks (I think) without a 
mission/vision or goals for LO? And after the final release of LO 3.3 we 
think about the goals etc. of LO?
~ That means on the basis of the TDF-mission TDF is working for a 
community not for LO - and LO has no goals but comes soon? But who makes 
LO if not TDF?


Is this the way to success for such a project?

Why is the reason for TDF not mentionend in the mission like: ... With 
this we improve the conditions for our Office Suite LibreOffice ...  
and so on.
Is this a mistake, a slip of the pen? Or is there a concrete reason why 
the Office-Suite isn't mentioned in the mission of TDF?


a little bit confused,
Johannes

Hello Benjamin,

...



...
Jono has written a book called The Art of Community, which describes his 
approach. It's available to purchase or download under a CC license from his site: 
http://www.artofcommunityonline.org/get/

This would be a great read for all of us involved in TDF as we strive to 
increase our membership and visibility to the world.

Jono also offered to help us as our community grows, so if anyone is interested 
in talking to him, please reach out. (His info is on his site: 
http://www.jonobacon.org/contact-me/ )



That's a good thing. And if he helps us - OK.
On the other side: We need just our brain to find the right solutions.
We have goals. That leads to: What is to do, to make this goals real, in 
a global dimension?
We build a worldwide community. - That leads to: How can it realy work 
with good results?

And basically: What is to do, to find an optimal structure for all of this?
And so on.

We need a kind of selforganizing structure that leads to what we want. 
Even in a phase when communication breaks.
That's the problem of every group that is to great to reach the members 
by speaking in front of them.

And that's a point, OOo did not understand.

Therefore, we will not come very far if we copy OOo.

[tdf-discuss] TDF/LO on a wrong way?

2010-12-14 Thread Johannes A. Bodwing

Sorry people,

I think we are on a wrong way.
Why?
OK, there is hard work on every side, but what is the core of all? And 
how do we realize this core around the world with a structure for a 
long, long time?

For example, look at HOME on the website. There you find:
LibreOffice - Welcome to LibreOffice and so on.
The german site is familiar.
But LO is just a manifestation of the idea of TDF. And the idea/goals of 
TDF are:
Our mission is to facilitate the evolution of the OpenOffice.org 
Community into a new open, independent, and meritocratic organizational 
structure within the next few months.

That means:
The core is the Community, its structure and its evolution e.g.
And LO is the product that comes from this structur and that helps to 
improve the structure of this Community. Like a crystal nucleus.
Why can TDF and LO than go to public in this splitted way they do? TDF 
and LO are one thing that can't be splitted without loosing the basis.
For example: Why not on every HOME-Site in every nation (and in every 
article, spot e.g.) start with the spirit oft TDF/LO?:


The Document Foundation
presents
the new Freedom of Community-based Software
LibreOffice


The spirit of this Community is the fuel. This spirit provides the 
worldwide frame for everything TDF does. With this spirit LO is 
created and will be developed and so on. And for that the Community has 
to work together as a whole.


I fear we will loose our goals short after beginning.
OK, that's hard. But look at OOo and its goals and what is realized 
after ten years.
Or look at the idea of a LO-Magazin. It's a thread on the international 
marketing-list and one on the german list. How many LO-magazins are 
starting, and in the end everyone of it is like every national group 
will make it. Everyone different and perhaps without the core of all - 
the goals of TDF.
Look at the website. The german list thinks about another content and 
layout. Every group works and changes and works and changes. Why not 
for example the same Layout on the Home-Site? The other sites could be 
more national-like.

And so on.
So many things are done different in many goups. That costs energy and 
time and at least motivation. But there are many things that could be 
done together. Like a common Home-Site or the exchange of articles for 
LO-Magazins and so on.


Where is the common and worldwide frame for the TDF/LO-Project? And 
where is the structure and organization to find (website?)?

Or - how can we build it together?

Johannes

[tdf-discuss] PM für LO 3.3 - Grundfragen

2010-11-09 Thread Johannes A. Bodwing

Hallo Leute,

ein neuer Anlauf, um eine PM für LO 3.3 auf die Reihe zu bekommen.
Schaut mal bitte drüber, was von den nachfolgenden Fragen relevant ist, 
bzw. was vielleicht zusätzlich für die erste PM für LO zu beachten wäre.
Ich versuche damit das Grundgerüst klar zu bekommen, denn während die 
PM für OOo 3.3. quasi mit dem Aspekt Fortsetzung arbeiten könnte, wäre 
es für LO eine Art Neustart (Reset?); d.h. als Kernaspekte für die PM 
wäre vielleicht zu beachten:
~ LO als Software vorstellen (was kriegt der Nutzer mit der 
Installation von LO überhaupt auf seinen Rechner?) + evtl. die 
Zielsetzung dahinter;
~ LO im Zshang mit OOo darstellen (daß es keine Trennung ist, sondern 
Ergänzung, Verbesserung der Möglichkeiten etc.);
~ die Features (wo steht dazu Verwendbares in leicht verständlicher 
Form?) + evtl. was es in OOo nicht gibt, bzw. was/wo die Unterschiede sind;
~ evtl. auch etwas versteckt die Motivation in den Text reinpacken, 
damit noch mehr Leute mitmachen;
~ letztlich müßte ganz stark der Nutzen für die User rüberkommen, den 
sie haben, wenn sie LO runterladen, statt OOo (sonst würde ja die 
LO-Version keinen wirklichen Sinn machen, denke ich mal);
~ LO ist nicht identisch mit OOo, also nicht die 1:1-Fortsetzung von 
OOo, basiert aber massiv auf OOo, ist also auch nichts komplett Neues; 
wie grenzt man da sauber ab oder ergänzt oder sonstwie?


Restfrage von mir: Geht es hier um eine Betaversion LO 3.3 oder Endversion?

Gruß,
Johannes

 Hi,

That is not instructions on how to unsubscribe, that is instructions on
how to send a message to get a 'help' response that will include
instructions on how to unsubscribe (*and* subscribe, and a bunch of
other stuff), and because it is so long, many people will simply not
read it (I do user support for 60+ users in our office, I know how users
are). At least the unsub instructions are first, but still...


I have little sympathy for anyone not being able to unsubscribe if 
they aren't willing to actually read the first 12 words (!) of the 
message coming back from discuss+help.  It's not rocket science.  You 
send an unsubscribe request, and then you confirm it.  And the links 
are pre-made to do it, so it's really just two mouse clicks.  This set 
up is the same as for thousands of other mailing lists, and I honestly 
don't know how it could get any simpler.

What about a single-question-mail?
A User clicks this button on the website and he/she gets just his own 
thread about this one question no others.

In this mail included are two buttons in the kind of:
~ thanks, my question is answered
~ I need more information
After clicking the first button (question answered), this user is 
eliminated in the list and gets no further mails.

With the second button the thread continues.
