RE: Who wants to build OpenOffice? - hackfest
I'm not interested in the Linux builds -- lots of people handle that -- but I have a question about IRC usage. And also time zone impacts. Will you provide time windows in UTC so we can all see what that will take for us to be there synchronously?

A lot of good feedback on this idea. Thanks!

Could we start on Wed September 7th? And run this "event" through the weekend?
Goals would be:
1) Enable volunteers who want to build under Linux
2) Create build instructions that are under ALv2, so we can include
them in the release. This is a good thing to draft on the "dev" wiki.
I'd like to do a put a post in the AOOo blog on this, to maybe attract
some additional developers who may want to participate
In the blog post I'd put the link to the SVN tree, the IRC channel,
and the pre-reqs.
BTW, what should say the pre-reqs are for storage? Source, including
/main and /extras is around 4GB. Matthias suggested 70 GB for
building, which could be done on fast external storage. So 75 GB free
space total is reasonable?
Do we have any RAM guidance? is 1GB sufficient? 2 GB?

Apparently MS Outlook in its great wisdom decides to strip also
References and In-Reply-To headers when you change the subject, so the
mail loses all thread context.

Of course, because as said Outlook removed References and In-Reply-To
headers. There's nothing wrong with Thunderbird, every mail agent now
sees a new thread. Even Mutt ;-)

Hm, then Thunderbird is not clever enough, too. Here the thread has also
split. :-(

This clearly has some effect that is not visible to me. Sorry.

Could you avoid changing the subject line when you haven't really
changed the topic? A new thread for a new topic, yes, of course. But
if we're already talking about IRC and building OpenOffice, it seems
extravagant to make a new thread merely to mention timezones with IRC
and building OpenOffice.
