<p>Another approach is to look at which localized versions of Apache OpenOffice were downloaded. We can see these trends in the following dot chart:</p>

<p>We can also look at the trend over time of downloads by operating system. (Note the log-scale on the Y-axis.) OpenOffice is a mainstream open source desktop application, so the OS distribution reflects overall desktop operating system market shares:<br /></p>

<p>Since we have Linux versions of OpenOffice packed as RPMs (e.g., for RedHat) as well as DEBs (e.g., for Ubuntu), we can look for trends in the ratio of requests for these two packaging formats over time:<br /></p>

<p>Also, we have 32-bit and 64-bit Linux downloads, and we see a gradual increase in demand over time for the 64-bit version, now reaching 50%. (The drop in July-September is not fully explained, but may have been an error in our download page that was not recommending 64-bit downloads appropriately.)<br /></p>

<p>Although we don't have detailed download data for different Windows versions (we have a single download for all Windows users) we do have information from website visitors (nearly 7 million visitors per month) that tells a similar story. Windows 7 remains the most popular Windows version for our users, accounting for over half of Windows visitors. Windows XP ties with Windows 8 for second place, though Windows XP usage is declining quickly.<br /></p>

-before installing AOO 4.1.13. It is especially important for users who use
-the Master Password functionality and may decide to use an older version
-later. There is a change in the encoding of stored passwords in this 4.1.13
-release that may make your user profile unusable for previous versions.
-<br>
-<br>In general, it is always a good idea to do a backup of important and

<p>Consider the CD ROM once more. Its thickness is 1.2mm. So if we stacked the 40 million CDs (very carefully!) they would be 48 km high, longer than a marathon, 100x taller than the Empire State Building, 5x taller than Mt.

<p>Of course these are all fun statistics, but our users are much more than just numbers. They are students, teachers, doctors, lawyers, ministers, public servants, and business people from all industries.

<p>As we on the Apache OpenOffice project put the final touches on our 4.1 release, we've started planning for our next major release, version 4.2, hopefully out sometime mid-year. One of the exciting new features we're looking forward to is support for the <b>OpenCash Protocol</b>, the new open standard for on-demand funding and delivery of both traditional currencies as well as the new cryptocurrencies.</p>
<p>For several years it has been possible, with expensive proprietary systems, to do convenient on-demand funding and printing of postage stamps. The OpenCash protocol advances this to the next level, extended to currencies, and in an way that makes it accessible to users on all platforms. </p>
<p>We're still early in the design phase for this feature, but the gist of it can be seen in the following UI prototype: <br /></p>
- <div align="center"><img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/b3c382d4-cf7d-4efd-8097-718f4c82e03e" /></div>

Noticeable on the chart is the peak in June 2012, when we enabled the upgrade notifications for OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 users, and the peak in September when Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 was released.

<h3>How you Can Help <br /></h3>
<p> </p>
<p>We would like to support as many languages as possible. If we are missing Apache OpenOffice in your native tongue, we need your help to change this. The project is open to support any new language as long as their is an active translation community behind it. OpenOffice is made by volunteers and we need more help in different areas. Localization is one key area here and it requires no programming skills. Everything you need is <em><strong>motivation to help</strong></em> and all oth [...]

<p> We have a solid base for some languages where we already have more than 93% coverage of the translated user interface strings. That means it is not too much work needed to make Apache OpenOffice available in these languages. For some of the languages volunteers have already started or already finished the translation and they will be released soon. It's now up to you to help us to support more languages.</p>
<p align="center"><strong><font size="7">WE WANT YOU!</font></strong> <br /></p>
<p>If you are interested, don't wait! Simply join our <a href="l10n@openoffice.apache.org">l10n</a> mailing list by subscribing to the list, send us a note and you will get the help needed to get started. More information is also on our <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/translate.html">How to Help Translate Apache OpenOffice page</a>.

- <h3>Ten Reasons Use Apache OpenOffice for School <br /></h3>
- <ol>
- <li>OpenOffice is free. Commercial alternatives cost $100 or more.</li>
- <li>Because it is free you can install OpenOffice on <b>all</b> of your computers without any additional charge. Commercial products make you pay extra for the ability to install on multiple computers.</li>
- <li>You can install and use OpenOffice, with no subscription fees -- ever. Updates are free as well.<br /></li>
- <li>School districts, by using OpenOffice in the classroom, can save money in their budget, but also allow their students (and their parents) to run the same software at home for free. This is the open source advantage.<br /></li>
- <li>OpenOffice works the same on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. You are not trapped in a single operating system.</li>
- <li>OpenOffice speaks your language. It is available in over 20 languages, with many more translations in progress.<br /></li>
- <li>You can run OpenOffice from a <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/porting/index.html">USB-stick</a> and so work everywhere using your personal
-settings, even if OpenOffice is not yet installed on your friend's PC. </li>
- <li>There are <a href="http://templates.openoffice.org/">over 1000 document templates</a> for OpenOffice, free to download, including many <a href="http://templates.openoffice.org/en/search?f[0]=field_template_category%3A21">templates designed for education</a>.</li>
- <li>OpenOffice is extensible with 100's of <a href="http://extensions.openoffice.org/">free extensions</a> that you can download.<br /></li>
- <li>As an all-volunteer open source project we <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html">welcome students, teachers and parents</a> interested in helping us develop the next great version of OpenOffice. Learn new skills and gain valuable experience working on an open source project, while helping to improve the tools that you use yourself.<br /></li>

- <h3>A Call for Marketing Volunteers <br /></h3>
- <p>This is a call for volunteers for the Apache OpenOffice (formerly OpenOffice.org) Marketing team. We have big plans for our next major release, Apache OpenOffice 4.0. As our development and QA volunteers work on the engineering side of this release, we're also building up our capabilities in critical supporting functions like Marketing. A high performance Marketing team is essential to explaining the value of OpenOffice to users worldwide. This w [...]
- <h3> Why volunteer?<br /></h3>
- <p>Why would you want to volunteer with OpenOffice Marketing? A few things to consider:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>We're a fun, international group of volunteers, with a range of
-skills and experience, dedicated to free software and spreading the word
- about OpenOffice.</li>
- <li>Helping with marketing is a good way to "give back" to the open
-source community, something that can be done without requiring special
-technical skills.</li>
- <li>Contributions are needed from volunteers with a range of experience levels and
-interests. From copy writing to event planning to graphic design,
-we need volunteers in many creative and business-oriented disciplines.</li>
- <li>This is a good way to learn about marketing, or one if its sub-disciplines, and gain practical experience.</li>
- <li>OpenOffice is among the most recognized open source brands, up there with Linux, Android and Firefox. Your
-contributions to our marketing efforts will potentially be seen by millions of users.</li>
- </ul>
- <h3>What we do</h3>
- <p>Marketing is the set of activities our volunteers undertake to communicate
-the value and benefits of the OpenOffice product, as well as the OpenOffice project, to potential users and
-potential project members. Marketing activities within the Apache OpenOffice project include: <br /> </p>
- <ul>
- <li>Monitoring and contributing to our social networking presence</li>
- <li>Planning and participating at local and international conferences, giving presentations or staffing booths
-and answering questions about Apache OpenOffice and the project</li>
- <li>Writing and reviewing project blog posts and press releases</li>
- <li>Answering questions from the press, or being interviewed about the project</li>
- <li>Designing new marketing collateral, such as brochures or CD cover art</li>
- <li>Working as a team to refresh the product's brand and visual signature</li>
- <li>Surveying users to understand their needs and concerns</li>
- <li>Creating a YouTube video to show the highlights of an upcoming release</li>
- <li>Working as a member of a core marketing team to enable a much larger group of volunteers and users promote
-OpenOffice.</li>
- </ul>
- <p> </p>
- <h3>How to Get Involved</h3>
- <p>You can start now, in three easy steps: <br /></p>
- <ol>
- <li>Subscribe to our public Marketing mailing list by sending an email to <a href="mailto:marketing-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org">marketing-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org</a> and respond to the confirmation email you will then receive.<br /></li>
- <li>Introduce yourself on the mailing list by sending an email to the Marketing mailing list: <a href="mailto:marketing@openoffice.apache.org">marketing@openoffice.apache.org</a></li>
- <li>Review our self-paced <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/orientation/index.html">orientation modules</a> to help you get started. If you are already familiar with open source projects at Apache, then you can quickly skim over the Level 1 and Level 2 modules and concentrate on the short <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/orientation/intro-marketing.html">Introduction to Marketing</a> module. If, however, you are new to Apache, and [...]

<p>A bit more then a year ago, we discussed the topic social media on our list. We decided to create official channels on different social media. I jumped in to join the administrator team of the official Apache OpenOffice Fan page. Since then, the number of fans has increased a lot.</p>
<p>At the beginning, the Facebook fan page was not really promising. We were happy if we got eight to twelve new fans per day. This is not a lot for a project that has 50 million downloads per year. But our group started growing more and more. Now we have 40 new fans every single day, and we have about two users per day who post on our pinboard.</p>

<p> But it's not the number of fans that makes the Apache OpenOffice Fanpage so special. It's the activity of our fans we like so much. You know, as community members we are often a bit separated from the users. I mean, we don't see them...it's not like a band who, playing a concert, see their fans from the stage. Of course, we have download numbers, and we can assume that our product is widely used out there. But for real feedback we have to go to our social media.</p>
<p>We are surprised by the enthusiasm of the fan page community. Some of them are more then just fans. Sometimes we get really valuable feedback. And others have already asked how become a part of the community. For those who want more than just being a fan, I propose to join our <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#development-mailing-list-public">dev mailing list</a>. And for the rest we like to say a "big thank you Apache OpenOffice Fans!"<br /></p>

- <p>It happened again today. We received an email from a very frustrated user, complaining that OpenOffice had taken over his browser, installed new toolbars, replaced the browser's home page, was causing pop-ups to surface on every page, etc. To make things worse, none of these programs could be uninstalled via normal means.</p>
- <p>When we at the <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg">Apache OpenOffice project</a> receive reports like this -- and we receive them a couple of times every week -- the first thing I ask is, "Where did you download OpenOffice from?" In today's case, when the user checked his browser's history he found what I suspected, that it was not downloaded from www.openoffice.org, but was a modified version, from another website, that was also installing other [...]
- <p>This is one of several traps for the unwary on the web today. It does not happen just to OpenOffice. Other popular open source applications, especially end user ones, run into this problem, e.g., Audacity, 7Zip, etc.<br /></p>
- <p>Things to watch out for include:
-
-
-
-
-
-
- </p>
- <ol>
- <li> Websites offering downloads of OpenOffice but requiring the use of a special "installer" or "downloader" application that installs other, unwanted applications before installing OpenOffice.</li>
- <li>Installers that ask you to <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Program%3aWin32%2fPameseg.AO">send an SMS</a> in order to receive a registration key to use OpenOffice.<br /></li>
- <li>Websites that try to sell you OpenOffice. This sometimes happens on online auction sites. Although it is entirely legitimate to sell CD's of OpenOffice as a convenience (bandwidth is limited in many parts of the world), users should know that they can always download OpenOffice for free at www.openoffice.org.<br /></li>
- <li>Websites that claim to sell you OpenOffice bundled with support, but then just direct you to the free community support forums, a service that we make available to all users at no charge.<br /></li>
- <li>Websites that have domain names, or social media account names, that are variations on "OpenOffice", but which point to websites that try to sell you OpenOffice or offer you a download of a version that is modified to install adware.</li>
- <li>Websites that purchase sponsored ads in search engines so their advertisements feature prominently when a user searches for "OpenOffice" or "Open Office" or similar keywords, and using these ads to draw traffic to their website, where the modified version of OpenOffice is offered.<br /></li>
- </ol>
- <p>The common pattern in these cases is that someone is using the good name and reputation of our project, and often our trademarked logos, to confuse you, the user, into thinking that the website is offering you a genuine copy of OpenOffice. These downloads, aside from the unwanted "extras" they may install, are often based on older versions of OpenOffice, and lack important security updates, putting you even more at risk.<br /></p>
- <p>Be safe. Remember this simple rule: <a href="http://www.openoffice.org">www.openoffice.org</a>
- is the official website for OpenOffice. Downloads there will always be free of charge.
-Downloads there are reviewed and approved by the Apache OpenOffice community. There may be other reputable websites that offer OpenOffice downloads as well, like SourceForge or CNet or others. They stand on their own reputation. <br /></p>So what can you do if you are tricked into installing a unsafe version of OpenOffice?
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- <ol>
- <li>If you are comfortable diagnosing and repairing your system, run anti-virus and malware scans, using a reputable program from a reputable source. This is an occasion where getting help may be warranted.</li>
- <li>There are several services that collect reports on incidents such as this. <a href="http://www.stopbadware.org/home/index">StopBadware</a> and <a href="http://www.sitejabber.com/">SiteJabber</a> are two prominent ones.<br /></li>
- <li>Let us know, at the Apache OpenOffice project, what happened to you. If you can provide URL's, and a statement about what the software did to your system, this can help us better understand where these things are occurring and to take appropriate action. Reports can be entered in our <a href="https://issues.apache.org/ooo/enter_bug.cgi?product=trademark&component=improper-use">public issue tracker</a>.<br /></li>

+ <p>When we at the <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg">Apache OpenOffice project</a> receive reports like this -- and we receive them a couple of times every week -- the first thing I ask is, "Where did you download OpenOffice from?" In today's case, when the user checked his browser's history he found what I suspected, that it was not downloaded from www.openoffice.org, but was a modified version, from another website, that was also installing other [...]
+ <p>This is one of several traps for the unwary on the web today. It does not happen just to OpenOffice. Other popular open source applications, especially end user ones, run into this problem, e.g., Audacity, 7Zip, etc.<br /></p>
+ <p>Things to watch out for include:
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ </p>
+ <ol>
+ <li> Websites offering downloads of OpenOffice but requiring the use of a special "installer" or "downloader" application that installs other, unwanted applications before installing OpenOffice.</li>
+ <li>Installers that ask you to <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Program%3aWin32%2fPameseg.AO">send an SMS</a> in order to receive a registration key to use OpenOffice.<br /></li>
+ <li>Websites that try to sell you OpenOffice. This sometimes happens on online auction sites. Although it is entirely legitimate to sell CD's of OpenOffice as a convenience (bandwidth is limited in many parts of the world), users should know that they can always download OpenOffice for free at www.openoffice.org.<br /></li>
+ <li>Websites that claim to sell you OpenOffice bundled with support, but then just direct you to the free community support forums, a service that we make available to all users at no charge.<br /></li>
+ <li>Websites that have domain names, or social media account names, that are variations on "OpenOffice", but which point to websites that try to sell you OpenOffice or offer you a download of a version that is modified to install adware.</li>
+ <li>Websites that purchase sponsored ads in search engines so their advertisements feature prominently when a user searches for "OpenOffice" or "Open Office" or similar keywords, and using these ads to draw traffic to their website, where the modified version of OpenOffice is offered.<br /></li>
+ </ol>
+ <p>The common pattern in these cases is that someone is using the good name and reputation of our project, and often our trademarked logos, to confuse you, the user, into thinking that the website is offering you a genuine copy of OpenOffice. These downloads, aside from the unwanted "extras" they may install, are often based on older versions of OpenOffice, and lack important security updates, putting you even more at risk.<br /></p>
+ <p>Be safe. Remember this simple rule: <a href="http://www.openoffice.org">www.openoffice.org</a>
+ is the official website for OpenOffice. Downloads there will always be free of charge.
+Downloads there are reviewed and approved by the Apache OpenOffice community. There may be other reputable websites that offer OpenOffice downloads as well, like SourceForge or CNet or others. They stand on their own reputation. <br /></p>So what can you do if you are tricked into installing a unsafe version of OpenOffice?
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>If you are comfortable diagnosing and repairing your system, run anti-virus and malware scans, using a reputable program from a reputable source. This is an occasion where getting help may be warranted.</li>
+ <li>There are several services that collect reports on incidents such as this. <a href="http://www.stopbadware.org/home/index">StopBadware</a> and <a href="http://www.sitejabber.com/">SiteJabber</a> are two prominent ones.<br /></li>
+ <li>Let us know, at the Apache OpenOffice project, what happened to you. If you can provide URL's, and a statement about what the software did to your system, this can help us better understand where these things are occurring and to take appropriate action. Reports can be entered in our <a href="https://issues.apache.org/ooo/enter_bug.cgi?product=trademark&component=improper-use">public issue tracker</a>.<br /></li>

<p>Most of the posts on this blog are about the Apache OpenOffice product and the community of volunteers that develops it.

- <h2>The house lights flash; Please take your seats. The symphony is about to begin.<br /></h2>
- <p><a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">Apache OpenOffice</a> will soon have some new features and other
-improvements, courtesy of IBM and their <a href="http://www-03.ibm.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.nsf/home">Lotus Symphony</a> effort. Interoperability, performance, accessibility improvements, as well as exciting new user interface elements are in the works. Read on to
-learn how the Apache OpenOffice volunteer community is doing this, and how this will benefit users of OpenOffice as well as developers who build upon OpenOffice. <br /></p>
- <h2>Movement I: The Contribution.<br /></h2>
- <p>IBM Lotus Symphony is an IBM licensed derivative of OpenOffice, offered at no charge, which <a href="http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Symphony_contribution">IBM enhanced</a> for their customer and corporate use. Symphony was developed with OpenOffice.org technology, essentially a fork of OpenOffice. Last May IBM decided to end that fork and combine their development effort with the Apache OpenOffice project. IBM contributed the source code for Symphony to Apac [...]
- <p>Once the Symphony contribution was received and checked into the Apache OpenOffice version control, the discussion to determine the best way to use this new code. The two primary options discussed on our mailing list were:</p>
- <ol>
- <li>Make the Symphony code the new base for Apache OpenOffice. Then merge back into Symphony the code improvements that had been made in Apache OpenOffice 3.4.<br /></li>
- <li>Continue with the existing Apache OpenOffice 3.4 as the base and merge features from Symphony into that code.</li>
- </ol>
- <p>There were good arguments for either approach, and we had a spirited discussion. The main points were:<br /></p>
- <ul>
- <li>Using Symphony as the new base would have required careful review of that code base, and months of additional work to bring it up to Apache IP requirements. Essentially we would need to redo much of the work we had already done with the OpenOffice code that Oracle had contributed via their SGA. This would have been more disruptive to other, non-IBM, OpenOffice developers, but would have brought the distinguishing Symphony features to a release faster.</li>
- <li>Merging Symphony features into OpenOffice would be less disruptive, but would be a slower path to integrating Symphony features, and would require more attention from IBM, since they know the Symphony code best.<br /></li>
- </ul>
- <p>In the end the consensus was to go with the 2nd option, merging Symphony code into OpenOffice. This brings the Symphony code, feature by feature, bug fix by bug fix, into OpenOffice, where it is integrated, tested, reviewed, etc., in smaller chunks, as it works its way toward release. Doing it this way is less flashy. There is no 'big bang integration" where everything happens at once. But that was the point, to avoid the disruptions of a radical c [...]
- <p>Work on the "slow merge" has been ongoing since last summer, in parallel with work on Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1. Our use of <a href="http://subversion.apache.org/">Apache Subversion</a> facilitated this kind of parallel development, where one group focused on the 3.4.1 release in a "branch", another group of developers started to bring Symphony enhancements into the "trunk".<br /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p> </p>
- <h2>Movement II: Many Bug Fixes<br /></h2>
- <p>Expect to see a lot of bug fixes in Apache OpenOffice 4.0, especially in the area of Microsoft interoperability. The Symphony team reviewed their IBM bug reports from Symphony and pulled out the most important ones that were already fixed in Symphony. They then tested Apache OpenOffice, to see which of these bugs still existed in OpenOffice. For the ones that still were in OpenOffice, they merged in the fix from Symphony. This was a very efficient approach to [...]

- <h2>Movement III: New Features</h2>
- <p>

+ <h2>The house lights flash; Please take your seats. The symphony is about to begin.<br /></h2>
+ <p><a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">Apache OpenOffice</a> will soon have some new features and other
+improvements, courtesy of IBM and their <a href="http://www-03.ibm.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.nsf/home">Lotus Symphony</a> effort. Interoperability, performance, accessibility improvements, as well as exciting new user interface elements are in the works. Read on to
+learn how the Apache OpenOffice volunteer community is doing this, and how this will benefit users of OpenOffice as well as developers who build upon OpenOffice. <br /></p>
+ <h2>Movement I: The Contribution.<br /></h2>
+ <p>IBM Lotus Symphony is an IBM licensed derivative of OpenOffice, offered at no charge, which <a href="http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Symphony_contribution">IBM enhanced</a> for their customer and corporate use. Symphony was developed with OpenOffice.org technology, essentially a fork of OpenOffice. Last May IBM decided to end that fork and combine their development effort with the Apache OpenOffice project. IBM contributed the source code for Symphony to Apac [...]
+ <p>Once the Symphony contribution was received and checked into the Apache OpenOffice version control, the discussion to determine the best way to use this new code. The two primary options discussed on our mailing list were:</p>
+ <ol>
+ <li>Make the Symphony code the new base for Apache OpenOffice. Then merge back into Symphony the code improvements that had been made in Apache OpenOffice 3.4.<br /></li>
+ <li>Continue with the existing Apache OpenOffice 3.4 as the base and merge features from Symphony into that code.</li>
+ </ol>
+ <p>There were good arguments for either approach, and we had a spirited discussion. The main points were:<br /></p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Using Symphony as the new base would have required careful review of that code base, and months of additional work to bring it up to Apache IP requirements. Essentially we would need to redo much of the work we had already done with the OpenOffice code that Oracle had contributed via their SGA. This would have been more disruptive to other, non-IBM, OpenOffice developers, but would have brought the distinguishing Symphony features to a release faster.</li>
+ <li>Merging Symphony features into OpenOffice would be less disruptive, but would be a slower path to integrating Symphony features, and would require more attention from IBM, since they know the Symphony code best.<br /></li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>In the end the consensus was to go with the 2nd option, merging Symphony code into OpenOffice. This brings the Symphony code, feature by feature, bug fix by bug fix, into OpenOffice, where it is integrated, tested, reviewed, etc., in smaller chunks, as it works its way toward release. Doing it this way is less flashy. There is no 'big bang integration" where everything happens at once. But that was the point, to avoid the disruptions of a radical c [...]
+ <p>Work on the "slow merge" has been ongoing since last summer, in parallel with work on Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1. Our use of <a href="http://subversion.apache.org/">Apache Subversion</a> facilitated this kind of parallel development, where one group focused on the 3.4.1 release in a "branch", another group of developers started to bring Symphony enhancements into the "trunk".<br /></p>
+ <p> </p>
+ <p> </p>
+ <h2>Movement II: Many Bug Fixes<br /></h2>
+ <p>Expect to see a lot of bug fixes in Apache OpenOffice 4.0, especially in the area of Microsoft interoperability. The Symphony team reviewed their IBM bug reports from Symphony and pulled out the most important ones that were already fixed in Symphony. They then tested Apache OpenOffice, to see which of these bugs still existed in OpenOffice. For the ones that still were in OpenOffice, they merged in the fix from Symphony. This was a very efficient approach to [...]

We're publishing open source code for the public benefit. We must operate fairly, without giving special advantage (or disadvantage) to any 3rd party. <br /></p>
- <p>Some specific things we're not interested in: <br /></p>
- <ul>
- <li>We're not interested in bundling your application with our install in return for money. But the <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html">Apache License</a> permits you to make and distribute your own bundle.<br /></li>
- <li>We're not interested in endorsing your product.</li>
- <li>We're not interested in adding a link to your website in return for you adding a link to ours.</li>
- <li>We're not interested in taking your money in return for a special "advisory" role in the project. We're a meritocracy. Membership is not for sale.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>But make no mistake -- we're not antagonistic to businesses or commercial use of OpenOffice. In fact our license, the permissive Apache License, is one of the most <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/why/why_compliance.html">business-friendly licenses</a> around. We want you to use our code. But we cannot have "partners" in the same way that a for-profit corporation can. </p>
- <p>Our lack of commercial entanglements with 3rd parties means that
- you can operate commercially without fear that your competitor has a "special
- relationship" with the project, giving them an unfair advantage. <br /></p>
- <p>On the other hand, we do encourage things like:</p>
- <ul>
- <li><a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html#Paypal">Contributions to the Apache Software Foundation</a>, which benefit the ASF as a whole. Dozens of companies that sponsor the ASF are acknowledged on the <a href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/thanks.html">Thanks Page</a>.<br /></li>
- <li><a href="https://openoffice.apache.org/contributing-code.html">Contributions of code</a> to the OpenOffice project, that helps us extend its capabilities.</li>

If it is good, relevant and non-spammy, then we might link to it. But we're never going to link to something purely for the sake of a link exchange.<br /></li>
- <li>If you offer services related to OpenOffice, then we welcome your profile submission for our <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultants.html">consultants listings</a>.</li>

<h2>What is Document Freedom Day? <br /></h2>
<p>Document Freedom Day, the last Wednesday in March, is a global celebration of open standards, especially ones that are used in your documents. At Apache OpenOffice, we're strong supporters of open standards and we're pleased to join in this year's celebration. But we're much more than passive supporters of open standards. We're also active implementers of open standards, and several of our project volunteers serve on standards committees as well. <br /></p>

<p>The OpenOffice presence at the event was strong and well-received, with a number of interesting talks and many visits at the booth. And the devroom was a nice way to get together with other projects focused on the ODF format.<br /></p>
<p>Make sure you don't miss the following talks about improvements that are coming (or already came!) to OpenOffice:</p>

<p>Apache OpenOffice 4.0 Release Candidate 1 (Build 9702) has been rejected. It was not good enough. Detlef, in our German-language community, first noted the crash two days ago, which was passed on to the developers by Regina. We immediately started further testing to narrow down the problem.</p>
<p>Samer, in Canada, independently reported the crash a few hours later. We then determined that the crash only occurred on Windows 8 64-bit systems. Rob, in the United States, then worked with Herbert, in Germany, to find out where in the code the problem was. After a few more emails and chats, we had a proposed fix to test. </p>

<p>It's time to write about new things that happen here in the Apache OpenOffice project.</p>
<p>At first, we want to let you know about new releases. The first will be the bugfix release 4.1.3 that will tie in directly with the current version. It's already in the cooking pot but needs some tasting and refinement before we will serve it. The next will then be the follow-up release 4.1.4 with further fixes.</p>
<p>When you now think <i>"hm, only fixed bugs? Nice, but what about more"</i> then please be patient. We are also planning a release afterwards with many more changes, including all new features developed in the last couple of years. As these aren't finally certain - number as well as size - even the version number isn't yet written in stone.</p>

The content in the sidebar is organized into decks and panels. Decks are containers of panels, one or more of them. In very few cases there may not yet be a panel available for the current task.

<p>The above image illustrates the social network of posts and responses to the Apache OpenOffice project's main development mailing list, from when it started in May 2011 until the end of March 2013 when this data was collected. (Click on the image to view a larger version) <br /></p>
<p>Each circle represents a person posting to the mailing list. The arcs represent responses to posts, i.e., they are drawn from the person posting to the person to whose post they are replying. The weight of each line is proportionate to the number of times person X responded to person Y. So darker lines portray more frequent communication pathways. The size of each circle is proportionate to the poster's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betweenness#Eigenv [...]
<p>Overall the graph has 1077 nodes (persons) and 8181 arcs (response emails). On average each person responded to 7.6 other persons, and made 27.1 total responses. </p>

- <p>The Apache OpenOffice.org project is currently in the incubation phase. We're a 'podling'. It's where all new Apache projects begin, regardless of
-how mature your source code base is. In this post I'll attempt to explain a bit about incubation, and a bit about the 'Apache Way', and our current effort to meet the requirements for 3rd party code review and clearance. In future posts, I'll attempt to tackle other aspects of the project. If we all have a better understanding of how the work is becoming organized, those of you interested to volunteer will have a better idea of where to start, and those who are interested to follow our p [...]
- <p>First off, a podling is not from
-'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' – a human being wrapped up to look
-like a large vegetable, or furry cute puppets from the Dark Crystal
-Cave of Jim Henson's imagination. It's the term we use here at
-Apache to describe the first phase of a prospective project; a podling is a
-project that is 'incubating'. Egg,
-podling, new thing with promise needing special care and attention. I
-think you get the idea.</p>
- <p>It's that special care and attention
-part that is consuming the efforts of the PPMC or "Podling Project
-Management Committee" at the moment. If we are going to hatch, 'graduate' to a TLP or "Top Level Project" in Apache-speak, we are required to meet certain criteria evolved out of deep experience accumulated through Apache's 12 year history and its involvement with many other successful projects.</p>
- <p>Apache defines a podling as “A
-codebase and its community while in the process of being incubated.”
-You can find the details on the complete <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html" title="Apache Incubation Policy">Apache Incubation Policy</a> here.</p>
- <p>OK, so we have the code base, thanks to
-Oracle's decision, and we have a community signed in to the project
-already, 75 committers and growing. So where are we with the process?</p>
- <p>When do podlings hatch, and become
-Apache TLP or Top Level Projects?</p>
- <p>The abbreviated answer requires the
-podling to:</p>
- <p> </p>
- <ul>
- <li>Deliver an official Apache release</li>
- <li>Demonstrate you have successfully
- created an open and diverse community</li>
- <li>Follow the 'Apache Way' through
- the process, documenting status, conducting ballots, maintaining a
- fully open and transparent process, etc.</li>
- </ul>
- <p> </p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>OpenOffice is a very large chunk of
-code, many millions of lines of code. The PPMC has now successfully
-migrated all the source files into the Apache infrastructure nestled
-into its new nest within the Apache Subversion repository
-environment. We've run a build test on Linux and we know we've got
-the code we need to begin to build a release.
-</p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>But wait, before we can meet the requirement of producing an official release, Apache requires that we conduct a thorough <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/index.html" title="IP or Intellectual Property review and clearance process.">IP or Intellectual Property review and clearance process</a>. This means that the resulting Apache

- </blockquote>
- <p>This means that the resulting Apache

- <p>Right now, our

-correctly in order to clear the path for an official podling release
-of Apache OpenOffice.</p>
- <p>Before we can produce an Apache release, we must complete the code clearance step, ensuring that the license headers include License and Notification files for all
-artifacts in the build be done to the satisfaction of the PPMC
-and the Incubator PMC which governs the Apache OpenOffice podling. This will clear the way forward to develop a realistic target date for issuing our first 'Apache OpenOffice.org' release </p>
- <p>In future posts, I'll sketch out

- <p>I'm always impressed by the enthusiasm of OpenOffice users to try out the next great release. A frequent question is, "When will it be released?" I see this question on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ApacheOO">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/apacheoo">Twitter</a>, the <a href="http://forum.openoffice.org/">Forums</a> and <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#using-mailing-lists">mailing lists</a>. "When will [...]
- <p>It is tempting to give the response, "It will be released when it is ready". But that sounds a bit snarky, although it is accurate. But the truth is software engineering schedule estimation is notoriously difficult and predicting a specific date is a sure way of looking foolish later on.<br /></p>
- <p>There is a well-known diagram in the software industry of a triangle, with the sides labeled: "good", "cheap", "fast" and with the title, "Pick any Two". This expresses the ever-present trade-off between quality, cost and schedule. </p>
- <p>In commercial software development arbitrary dates can (sometimes) be met, by dropping quality (or features) or by adding resources to tasks (increasing costs). To some extent open source projects can also try to hit arbitrary dates by dropping quality. But unlike commercial endeavors open source projects don't have the same ability to add resources to recover a schedule slip. On the Apache OpenOffice project we are mainly volunteers, dedicating free time to the pr [...]
- <p>OpenOffice is a mature product and users expect it to just work. They are not looking for surprises. Users want to spend time doing their task, their
- work, their business. OpenOffice is a tool, a means to an end, and
-having a stable, familiar tool that gets the job done is golden. There
-is little pleasure in getting a new hammer and screwdriver every month, with
-new bugs, except for the small minority of technologists who relish the challenge and risk of frequent updates. The rest of us have real work to do and don't want to worry about whether the feature that worked last week still works today.<br /></p>
- <p>So generally, we've been aiming for two high-quality release of Apache OpenOffice per year, with a cycle that looks approximately like this: <br /></p>
- <ul>
- <li>Brainstorm and discuss possible features. Even before version N is released we're discussing what will be included in version N+1. This includes specific new features, enhancements, new languages, bug fixes, etc. Much of this is tracked in our Bugzilla issue tracker (for bugs and enhancements) and on our mailing lists and wikis (for major features). The contents of the release are determined by the volunteers who do the work, based on their interests and m [...]
- <li>Development of the new features occurs, the coding often occurring in "branches" which are segregated areas in our Subversion version control system which help the developers to not step on each other's toes when stabilizing their code.</li>
- <li>As features are completed they are "merged into the trunk". We regularly build install sets from the trunk, so project participants can try the new features as soon as they are ready and give feedback.</li>
- <li>Once all the feature work is done for a release, we translate and test. <br /></li>
- <li>We iterate on testing and fixing bugs until we've eliminated all "release blocking" bugs and have something of sufficient quality to call a Release Candidate. We then vote on the Release Candidate, and if approved it becomes the new release.</li>
- </ul>So rather than asking about dates, the smart question is to ask, "Where in the release cycle are you now?". In the case of Apache OpenOffice 4.0, we're on that last step, finishing the translation and test work. How long that step will last will depend on how many bugs are found, how many of them are release blockers, and how long it takes to fix them. These are things that are not easy to predict. Again, it comes down to the old saying: good, che [...]

+new bugs, except for the small minority of technologists who relish the challenge and risk of frequent updates. The rest of us have real work to do and don't want to worry about whether the feature that worked last week still works today.<br /></p>
+ <p>So generally, we've been aiming for two high-quality release of Apache OpenOffice per year, with a cycle that looks approximately like this: <br /></p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Brainstorm and discuss possible features. Even before version N is released we're discussing what will be included in version N+1. This includes specific new features, enhancements, new languages, bug fixes, etc. Much of this is tracked in our Bugzilla issue tracker (for bugs and enhancements) and on our mailing lists and wikis (for major features). The contents of the release are determined by the volunteers who do the work, based on their interests and m [...]
+ <li>Development of the new features occurs, the coding often occurring in "branches" which are segregated areas in our Subversion version control system which help the developers to not step on each other's toes when stabilizing their code.</li>
+ <li>As features are completed they are "merged into the trunk". We regularly build install sets from the trunk, so project participants can try the new features as soon as they are ready and give feedback.</li>
+ <li>Once all the feature work is done for a release, we translate and test. <br /></li>
+ <li>We iterate on testing and fixing bugs until we've eliminated all "release blocking" bugs and have something of sufficient quality to call a Release Candidate. We then vote on the Release Candidate, and if approved it becomes the new release.</li>
+ </ul>So rather than asking about dates, the smart question is to ask, "Where in the release cycle are you now?". In the case of Apache OpenOffice 4.0, we're on that last step, finishing the translation and test work. How long that step will last will depend on how many bugs are found, how many of them are release blockers, and how long it takes to fix them. These are things that are not easy to predict. Again, it comes down to the old saying: good, che [...]

<p align="left">Viewers of the hit ABC sitcom <i>Suburgatory </i>may have noticed something special in the season 2 finale last night, in an episode called "Apocalypse Meow". Lead character Tessa (played by Jane Levy) used the free, open source office productivity software <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">Apache OpenOffice</a> on her Mac, to outline the pros and cons of getting revenge on her nemesis Dalia:<br /></p>

<p>This is an example of "stage dressing". The designer in a play, movie or television show has a particular "look" in mind, to bring life to the script. The designer then works with the properties directory to provision the right props. Most of it is physical stuff, like furniture, lamps or other similar items. But contemporary shows, with characters interacting with technology, also use a digital form of stage dressing. </p>
<p>Here's another example, from Roman Polanski's 2011 comedy <i>Carnage</i>:</p>

- <h3>A Call for QA Volunteers <br /></h3>
- <p>This is a call for volunteers for our QA team. The Apache OpenOffice (formerly OpenOffice.org) project has an ambitious plan for our next major release. But for this plan to be successful we need to grow our Quality Assurance (QA) team to keep up with the output from our programmers. The more QA volunteers we have, the more bugs we can find and get fixed for Apache OpenOffice. This work has a direct impact on OpenOffice product quality. It is also [...]
- <h3> Why volunteer?<br /></h3>
- <p>Why would you want to help with OpenOffice QA? <br /></p>
- <ol>
- <li>We're a fun, international group of testers, of a range of
-skills and experience, dedicated to free software and making OpenOffice a
- high quality choice for users.</li>
- <li>This is a good way to learn about QA and get some practical
-experience. This is useful, for example, if you are thinking about
-Software Quality Engineering (SQE) as a possible career choice.</li>
- <li>Helping as a tester is a good way to "give back" to the open
-source community in a way that makes a direct difference in the product,
- but doesn't require programming skills.</li>
- <li>It is a good way to raise the visibility of bugs in areas that matter to you. For example, maybe you personally are
-concerned about bugs that cause problems on the Mac, or bugs that impact
- color blind users, or bugs related to bidirectional text.
-Participating on the QA team is a good way to ensure that areas of
-personal interest work right.<br /></li>
- <li>We have tasks for volunteers with a range of skills. From
-novices who can help with manual testing and fix verifications, to
-experts who can help with our test automation framework, we have a full
-range of QA activities.</li>
- <li>As an extremely popular open source product, with many millions
-of users, there are opportunities here to do some new and exciting
-things on the QA front. We're a laboratory for new ideas and approach to QA. </li>
- </ol>
- <h3> What does QA do?<br /></h3>
- <p>QA activities within the Apache OpenOffice project include:
-
-
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li> Reviewing incoming bug reports from users to see if the reported issues can be reproduced</li>
- <li>Verifying bugs that the developers say they have fixed, to confirm that they actually have been fixed</li>
- <li>Testing new builds of OpenOffice against a test plan</li>
- <li>Defining new test cases</li>
- <li>Running automated regression tests</li>
- <li>Specialized tests in areas such as performance, accessibility, localization, security, etc.</li>
- <li>Analyzing defect reports to see how we are doing, in terms of quality level, defect find and fix rates, etc.</li>
- <li>Reporting summary defect data and recommending whether a given build of OpenOffice is ready to release.</li>
- </ul>
- <p> </p>
- <h3>What are we looking for? <br /></h3>
- <p>The skills we need on the QA team include:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>Familiarity with OpenOffice as a user.</li>
- <li>Attention to detail. In QA we find the bugs that the developers missed. And our developers are pretty good.<br /></li>
- <li>Access to a Windows, Mac or Linux machine for testing</li>
- <li>Interest, enthusiasm and teamwork.</li>
- <li>Also, specialized skills are always welcome, such as expertise in assistive technology tools, bidirectional scripts, East Asian text layout, power users of OpenOffice Base, etc.<br /></li>
- </ul>
- <h3>How to Get Involved</h3>
- <p>You can start now, in three easy steps: <br /></p>
- <ol>
- <li>Subscribe to our public QA mailing list by sending an email to <a href="mailto:qa-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org">qa-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org</a> and responding to the confirmation email you will then receive.</li>
- <li>Introduce yourself on the list by sending an email to the QA mailing list: <a href="mailto:qa@openoffice.apache.org">qa@openoffice.apache.org</a></li>
- <li>Review our self-paced <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/orientation/index.html">orientation modules</a> to help you get started. If you are already familiar with open source
-development at Apache, then you can quickly skim over the Level 1 and Level 2 modules and concentrate on the <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/orientation/intro-qa.html">Introduction to QA</a> module. If, however, you are new to Apache, and want a more methodical approach to getting started, then you can start at Level 1 modules first.</li>
- </ol>
- <p>We hope to hear from you soon!<br /></p>

-<p>On Sep, 21st we have released Apache OpenOffice 4.1.7. Since then we had <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.1.7/stats/timeline?dates=2019-09-21+to+2019-10-21" target="_blank" title="Apache OpenOffice download statistics">1.6 million</a>
- download requests. And this is only for the newest release. There are
-more for other versions that the users download due to their special
-needs. And not included are the many others from news magazins - online
-or on CD/DVD.<br /></p>
- <p>Another impressive number is: <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/stats/timeline?dates=2012-01-01+to+2019-10-21" target="_blank" title="Apache OpenOffce download statistics">294 million</a>. These are the downloads over all versions since 01st January, 2012.<br /></p>
- <p>Also with this post we want to call your attention again to 2 important things:</p>
- <ol>
- <li>We strongly advise to download software only from its original
-source. Then you are on the safe side to avoid any viruses or malware.
-For Apache OpenOffice it is "<a href="https://www.openoffice.org/download/" target="_blank" title="Apache OpenOffice Official Download">https://www.openoffice.org/download/</a>".<br /><br /></li>
- <li>You don't need a permission or even registration to use or copy
-Apache OpenOffice as it is free and open source software. So, no problem
- with license keys and fees and other restricting stuff that is wasting
-your lifetime.</li>

-People need office productivity software. Among our users are students, teachers, doctors, lawyers, ministers, public servants, and business people from all industries. Perhaps 20 years ago it was only businesses that needed this kind of software. In 1992 the price of a spreadsheet application alone, not even a complete suite, was $595. Only business could afford it at that price. But today almost everyone with a computer needs a <a href="http://www.openoff [...]
- <p>Users have downloaded Apache OpenOffice from <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/stats/countries.html">236 countries and territories</a>. The above chart shows the download density of Apache OpenOffice 3.4 per country, normalized by the number of internet users in each country (based using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_Internet_users">ITU data</a>). If you click on the
-chart you can explore it interactively using IBM's Many Eyes service
-(Java required). <br /></p>
- <p>The reach of Apache OpenOffice is global and deep. Our 3.4. release has been downloaded <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/stats/downloads.html">over 37 million times</a> since May 2012.</p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>Although Apache OpenOffice is free, it still has value, and the value we produce can be estimated.</p>
- <p>The main alternative to OpenOffice is Microsoft Office, perhaps the lower-priced "Home and Student" edition. The latest version (2013) is sold by Microsoft on their website for a variety of prices, varying by country. In the U.S. it is $139.99. In Germany it is quoted at 139,00 €, which is $188.04 USD. In Australia it is $169.00 AUD which is $174.42 USD. In Russia it is 3499.00 Rubles, which is $116.30 USD. </p>
- <p>Let's take, for ease of calculation, an intermediate value of $150.00 USD for Microsoft Office 2013 Home and Student. A person who uses the free OpenOffice saves $150 over paying for Microsoft Office.<br /> <br />
-Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 has averaged 138,928 downloads per day. That is an average value to the public of $21 million per day. Or $7.61 billion (7.61 thousand million) per year. This is one estimate of the value we bring to the public.<br /></p>
- <p> <br />
-To put that in perspective, here are annual sales figures for some familiar companies:<br /></p>
- <ul>
- <li>Campbell Soup Company: $7.88 Billion</li>

- <li>Barnes & Noble: $7.16 Billion</li>
- <li>OfficeMax Inc.: $7.06 Billion</li>
- </ul>
- <p>We should be proud of what we've accomplished over the past decade. This is not only a success for Apache OpenOffice in our <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/mission.html">Public Service Mission</a>, but a demonstration of the reach and impact of open source software in general.<br /></p>
- <p>[Note: There are various ways to estimate value. The commercial value of alternative goods, which we used above, is only one approach. But it is the same approach used when estimating revenue lost to software piracy, when they assume that if users did not use software illegally they would pay for commercial licenses at the prevailing rate. So there is some justification for using the same approach here.]<br /></p>

- <p>Sometime last night the 5 millionth copy of <a href="http://download.openoffice.org">Apache OpenOffice 3.4</a> was downloaded. Over 5 million downloads in 6 weeks. To put this in perspective, <a href="http://www.ssb.no/folkendrkv_en/">the population of Norway</a> just hit 5 million earlier this year. That's a lot of OpenOffice!</p>
- <p>(Apache OpenOffice is currently undergoing

- <p> </p>
- <p>If you look at a <a href="http://people.apache.org/%7Erobweir/aoo-downloads.html">chart of our daily download numbers</a> you see that the download rate has increased in the past two weeks. This is caused by our recent enabling of the update notification server. Installations of the previous version of OpenOffice, version 3.3.0, check our servers once a week to see if a new version of OpenOffice is available. So we're now getting a mix of new installs a [...]
- <p>So what are we doing in the project other than counting download numbers? Quite a lot, in fact. Many are working on a 3.4.1 maintenance release. This release will focus on quality (bug fixes) rather than new features. It will also include new translations, likely including UK English, Finnish and Slovenian. Work on other translations is underway, based on volunteer interest, including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_language">Uy [...]
- <p>In parallel with the 3.4.1 maintenance branch we're also working on discussing how best to use the Symphony contribution from IBM. This code has <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Symphony_contribution">many bug fixes and UI enhancements</a> that could benefit OpenOffice users. Some of the bug fixes from Symphony have already made it into the 3.4.1 branch. For post-3.4.1, we are weighing two options: a slower, incremental merge of Symphony enhancemen [...]
- <p>The Apache OpenOffice project welcomes new volunteers on these and other items. Developers are needed, of course, but also those interested in testing, technical writing, translation, web design, usability, marketing, event planning, system admins, etc. This is a large, high visibility project where we can really make an impact in the world, but also one that is non-bureaucratic and organizationally flat, where it is easy for newbies to fit in. It is a great [...]

-We are pleased to report that yesterday, October 29th, someone downloaded the <b>75,000,000th </b>copy of Apache OpenOffice™. The 75 million downloads have occurred in the less than 18th months since the first release of Apache OpenOffice on May 8th, 2012.

- <p>Apache OpenOffice (formerly called OpenOffice.org) is the leading free and open source office application suite for Windows, Mac and Linux. <br /></p>
- <p>Although we're all very busy now with working on our next major release, Apache OpenOffice 4.1, it is worth taking a few minutes to explore some of the trends that can be discerned from our download data. The information we have gathered, relative to desktop OS versions, 64-bit Linux use, etc., may be of special interest to other open source projects to consider in their
-planning. <br /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>First a scatter plot of daily download numbers, with a 7-day moving average overlay. Each of our releases is marked by a vertical line. You can clearly see the increase in interest since the release of Apache OpenOffice 4.0.<br /></p>

- <p align="left"> </p><br />
- <p> </p>
- <p align="left"> </p>We are able to break down these trends along several other dimensions. One is by country, looking at where the download request came from. This information is gleaned from the IP address of the machine making the request. Since each IP address is part of an assigned block of addresses, and blocks are assigned geographically, we can create a table of downloads by country, territory, etc. We show the <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/stats/co [...]

- <p>Another approach is to look at which localized versions of Apache OpenOffice were downloaded. We can see these trends in the following dot chart:</p>
- <p> </p>
- <p> </p>
- <p align="center"><img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/c15b2b83-aaf7-45ec-b77c-5ac3b2325ed7" alt="languages.png" /></p>
- <p>We can also look at the trend over time of downloads by operating system. (Note the log-scale on the Y-axis.) OpenOffice is a mainstream open source desktop application, so the OS distribution reflects overall desktop operating system market shares:<br /></p>
- <p align="center"><img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/08e0a258-dd27-48a7-9a86-750a572bca7b" alt="os-downloads.png" /></p>
- <p>Since we have Linux versions of OpenOffice packed as RPMs (e.g., for RedHat) as well as DEBs (e.g., for Ubuntu), we can look for trends in the ratio of requests for these two packaging formats over time:<br /></p>
- <p align="center"> <img alt="packaging.png" src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/f5304e3b-e508-4112-9ae2-6cbfdb55a890" /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>Also, we have 32-bit and 64-bit Linux downloads, and we see a gradual increase in demand over time for the 64-bit version, now reaching 50%. (The drop in July-September is not fully explained, but may have been an error in our download page that was not recommending 64-bit downloads appropriately.)<br /></p>
- <p align="center"> <img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/ee577c6b-74ca-472a-b698-b8488748e0dd" alt="64-bit.png" /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>Although we don't have detailed download data for different Windows versions (we have a single download for all Windows users) we do have information from website visitors (nearly 7 million visitors per month) that tells a similar story. Windows 7 remains the most popular Windows version for our users, accounting for over half of Windows visitors. Windows XP ties with Windows 8 for second place, though Windows XP usage is declining quickly.<br /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p align="center"><img alt="windows-version.png" src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/f757dc34-3085-4446-8fd7-d339b762f591" /></p>
- <p>Looking at the similar data for web browsers, we see the rise in Chrome users among our website visitors:<br /></p>
- <p align="center"><img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/fbeef3f1-467b-46ec-bfda-355187d97d39" alt="browsers.png" /></p>
- <p> </p><br />
- <p> </p>
- <p>The above charts were made in <a href="http://www.r-project.org/">R</a>, using data from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Download%20Stats%20API/">SourceForge's REST API</a> and from Google Analytics. The processing of the SourceForge data was automated via a <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/devtools/aoo-stats/detail-by-day.py">custom Python script</a>.<br /></p>

-Cheers to the community on the successful release of Apache OpenOffice 4.0. Full details of release can be found in our <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+Notes">Release Notes</a>. You can download Apache OpenOffice 4.0 <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/download/">here</a>.<br /></p>
- <p>This was a major release and a major effort for the <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Directory+of+Volunteers">many volunteers</a> who worked on coding, testing, translation, support, marketing, documentation and other aspects of the project. And thanks are due to ongoing support from other parts of the Apache Software Foundation, especially the <a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/infrastructure.html">Apache Infrastructure Team</a> for their outsized [...]
- <p>It is summertime, at least for volunteers in the northern hemisphere, and August is vacation time. Many of us will be taking a break and enjoying time with friends and family. But then we'll be back and working at full force, with a focus on: <br /></p>
- <ul>
- <li>Bringing additional language translations to AOO 4.0. There are quite a few languages that are "almost done", but did not make it into this release. But rather than wait until 4.1 we'll release these languages, in batches, as they become available. Tentatively we're aiming for mid-September for the first batch. If you want to help with a particular translation, we'd <a href="mailto:L10N@openoffice.apache.org">love to hear from you</a>.<br / [...]
- <li>Apache OpenOffice 4.1. We've jotted down some <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1+Release+Planning">proposed ideas</a> on our wiki. We now need to turn that into a plan, ideally for a 4.1 release at the end of 2013.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Finally, as we transition from one major release to another, this is a great time for new volunteers in all areas to join the project. If you are interested helping us make the next great version of OpenOffice, then
-we want to hear from you. We're not only programmers, but are a
-community of testers, UI designers, web designers, technical writers,
-accessibility experts, translators, social media experts, etc.
-Volunteers in all areas are welcome. More information can be found on

- <p>The above timeline shows just some of the accomplishments of the Apache OpenOffice project since we first started <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/">incubation</a> at Apache<a href="http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenOfficeProposal"> last June</a>. I've arbitrarily categorized the items as Infrastructure, Community or Development, knowing full well that any such act of categorization is dubious at best. There is a lot of overlap, and something I put under Infra [...]
- <p>So what does this timeline tell us, other than the obvious fact that we've been busy?<br /></p>
- <p>Take a look at the box called "Removal of copyleft". This is the work we did to get the OpenOffice.org code to conform to Apache policy regarding licensing. In essence, Apache products are permissively licensed, so anyone is free to use them in open source or proprietary products. So ensure that downstream consumers of Apache OpenOffice have maximum flexibility in that regard, and to encourage a broader ecosystem, we removed components that were incom [...]
- <p>As the timeline shows, most of our attention on the project has been spent on community building and infrastructure migration efforts. We're not engaging in a race to see how fast we can come out with a release, or to show how quickly we can crank out minor releases. A huge portion of our effort has been to ensure continuity for the many millions of users of OpenOffice.org, by far the most popular open source productivity suite. The OpenOffice ecosystem is not just a [...]
- <p>Oracle has kindly allowed us use of some legacy servers during the migration to Apache. The last of these servers should be disconnected on or soon after March 16th. At that point the Apache OpenOffice infrastructure will be entirely hosted by Apache, aside from the extensions and templates repositories which are graciously hosted by SourceForge. So our migration is complete. A round of thanks is due, from all sides, for the efforts of the Apache Infrastr [...]

- <ul></ul>
- <h2>Future Releases and Invitation to Submit Ideas<br /></h2>
- <p>In parallel with work on the Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 maintenance release, project members have also been working on changes for the 3.5 release. Areas of focus for 3.5 include: improved MS Office interoperability, performance, stability, usability and support of additional languages. We are targeting the first quarter of 2013 for Apache OpenOffice 3.5.0.</p>
- <p>A major update, Apache OpenOffice 4.0, will follow, including additional features and improvements merged in from the the IBM Lotus Symphony code recently contributed to Apache. There is also opportunity in this release to think "outside of the box" and bring additional innovation.<br /></p>
- <p>As a project we are starting to brainstorm about what could be possible in Apache OpenOffice 4.0. We invite OpenOffice users, community members and other interested parties to join us in this process, to help make version 4.0 the kind of radical success that version 1.0 was over a decade ago.

-The Apache OpenOffice project (formerly OpenOffice.org) is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Apache 4.0.1. Building upon the success of our <a href="http://www.infoworld.com/slideshow/119867/bossie-awards-2013-the-best-open-source-desktop-and-mobile-software-226979#slide8">award-winning</a> Apache OpenOffice 4.0 release, which was well-received by both users and reviewers, the 4.0.1 maintenance update brings new translations, performance enhancements and bug fixes.& [...]
- <p>You can download OpenOffice 4.0.1 from our <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/download/">download page</a>. <br /></p>
- <p>New translations introduced in this release are: Basque,
- Khmer,
- Lithuanian,
-
- Polish,
-Serbian Cyrillic,
- Swedish,
- Traditional Chinese,
-Turkish and
- Vietnamese. It is an important part of our <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/mission.html">Public Service Mission</a> to support, with help from our translation volunteers, minority and regional languages that are typically ignored by commercial vendors. We now ship OpenOffice in 32 languages. <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/translate.html">With your help</a> we could support many more. </p>
- <p>This update also includes many bug fixes, including performance fixes. For example, one common scenario saving Microsoft Excel files was sped up 230%. A repaint issue reported by several 4.0.0 users was fixed. In general the most common issues reported by 4.0.0 users are fixed in this update. A full list of changes can be found in the <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0.1+Release+Notes">Release Notes</a>. &nb [...]
- <p>In parallel with work on 4.0.1 the project has also been working on 4.1.0 items. Although no date has been set for this release, areas of focus include: improved interoperability with Microsoft Office, integration of IAccesible2 accessibility support, and (of course) new translations and bug fixes.<br /></p>

-<p>The Apache® OpenOffice® Project is on the road to a bigger update for
-the leading open source office suite.
-<br>
-<br>This is your chance. OpenOffice needs people to help in the development
-process. Don't panic, you do not need to be a software engineer or
-programmer though those skills are always welcome. You can already
-contribute a lot if you just install the software and test it for
-quality, reliability, language translations and submit bug reports,
-write documentation, and many other tasks as well.
-<br>
-<br>If this sounds like something that you would be interested in then join
-with many others from all over the world on our development mailing list
-by sending an e-mail to <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:dev-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org">dev-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org</a> and join the fun (<a href="https://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html" target="_blank">more information about mailing lists</a>).

-<p>We've reached another big milestone <span class="st">— 40 million downloads of <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">Apache OpenOffice</a> 3.4.x since the release of 3.4.0 in May 2012. You can view a <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/stats/downloads.html">detailed chart </a>on our Stats page. </span></p><span class="st">
- <p>40 million. A number like this is hard to imagine. With news every day of government budgets and deficits in the trillions, what does 40 million mean?</p>
- <p>One way is to look at the value, as free open source software, this brings to the public. We looked at it from this angle in a previous blog post, <a href="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/21_million_per_day">$21 million per Day</a>.</p>
- <p>Another way is to think in physical terms. What if the 40 million copies of Apache OpenOffice were distributed on CD ROM rather than distributed electronically (with the generous support of Geeknet and their SourceForge distribution network)?</p>
- <p>Consider: A CD ROM has a diameter of 120mm. <b>So 40 million CDs, if placed side-by-side, would be 4,800 km (2,983 miles)</b>. That is a distance we can think about and visualize better than the abstract "40 million downloads".</p>
- <p>Imagine a road trip from Los Angeles to New York City. It is only 2,789 miles, less than 40 million OpenOffice CDs would stretch:</p></span><span class="st">

- <p> </p>
- <p>Or, in Europe, imagine a trip from Lisbon to Moscow. That is 4,575 km, less than our Apache OpenOffice downloads would stretch:</p>

- <div align="center"><a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Lisbon,+Portugal&daddr=Moscow,+Russia&hl=en&sll=37.904456,-96.124051&sspn=26.56465,67.631836&geocode=FbPmTgIdrGF0_yk78-RhGjMZDTHQNpDkvesABA%3BFQ6sUgMdgBc-AinJsNRz_Eq1RjFMz1dXzNZEPQ&oq=mosc&mra=ls&t=m&z=5"><img alt="Lisbon to Moscow" src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/235cd412-42e3-43bb-8c9b-27482c158481" /></a></div>
- <p> </p>
- <p>Or try Istanbul to Islamabad. That is 4,963 km, just a little longer than the CDs would reach:</p>
- <p><br /></p>
- <p align="center"><a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Istanbul,+Turkey&daddr=Islamabad,+Pakistan&hl=en&ll=37.335224,51.020508&spn=26.757286,67.631836&sll=48.253941,33.310547&sspn=22.527318,67.631836&geocode=FdawcQIdQCe6ASlrCGgABKfKFDHQsAG8mP7M4Q%3BFYd_AgIdw9BaBCkvcpF40L_fODG2Ats7XFFZYA&oq=islam&mra=ls&t=m&z=5"><img alt="Istanbul to Iislamabad.jpg" src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/c9fcfddb-e466-4b1c-a6a9-6c61216f60fa" /> [...]
- <p>Consider the CD ROM once more. Its thickness is 1.2mm. So if we stacked the 40 million CDs (very carefully!) they would be 48 km high, longer than a marathon, 100x taller than the Empire State Building, 5x taller than Mt. Everest, and higher even than Felix Baumgartner's record-breaking skydiving jump.<br /></p>
- <p>Of course these are all fun statistics, but our users are much more than just numbers. They are students, teachers, doctors, lawyers, ministers, public servants, and business people from all industries.

-title: Apache OpenOffice 4.2 to Bring OpenCash Support

-<p>This is an April Fool's post: it is a humorous work and it does not describe actual developments.<br /></p>
- <p>As we on the Apache OpenOffice project put the final touches on our 4.1 release, we've started planning for our next major release, version 4.2, hopefully out sometime mid-year. One of the exciting new features we're looking forward to is support for the <b>OpenCash Protocol</b>, the new open standard for on-demand funding and delivery of both traditional currencies as well as the new cryptocurrencies.</p>
- <p>For several years it has been possible, with expensive proprietary systems, to do convenient on-demand funding and printing of postage stamps. The OpenCash protocol advances this to the next level, extended to currencies, and in an way that makes it accessible to users on all platforms. </p>
- <p>We're still early in the design phase for this feature, but the gist of it can be seen in the following UI prototype: <br /></p>
- <div align="center"><img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/b3c382d4-cf7d-4efd-8097-718f4c82e03e" /></div>
- <p> The basic flow would be: <br /></p>
- <ol>
- <li>User selects desired currency, denomination and number of copies.<br /></li>
- <li>User specifies a funding source.</li>
- <li>User confirms the desired settings, via the integrated print-preview, and prints the currency. <br /></li>
- </ol>No special hardware is required for traditional currencies, beyond a typical color inkjet or laser printer. Additionally, if the user has a 3D printer then they can "print" Bitcoins, just like you see in the news.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- <p>By embedding OpenCash into Apache OpenOffice, the leading open source office productivity suite, we do more than just increase convenience by reducing trips to the ATM. Since OpenCash permits pluggable funding sources, the integration into OpenOffice enables new models in areas like micro-finance and even fiscal stimulus. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination!<br /></p>

-title: Porting Apache OpenOffice (incubating) to FreeBSD -- Ready to test!

-date: '2012-02-29T14:52:05+00:00'
-permalink: apache_openoffice_has_been_ported

-<p>We are pleased to note that NAKATA, Maho and Pedro Giffuni have ported <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/">Apache OpenOffice</a> to <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/">FreeBSD</a>. The results of their porting effort are now in the FreeBSD <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/editors/openoffice-3-devel/">ports tree</a>, so everyone can easily build and use it. FreeBSD users are invited to help test this port and report bugs.<br /> [...]
-performance records and powers important sites like Yahoo, Hotmail and
-the Apache Software Foundation's infrastructure.<br /> <br />
-Historically, the FreeBSD port of OpenOffice has been very active, stable and well maintained. There are the legacy OpenOffice.org 3.3 and 3.4Beta ports, no longer being maintained, and the active version 3.4 port, for ongoing development. Notably, Jung-uk Kim ported to amd64, and fixed many technical
-issues, and Jack Low provided builds until development
-migration to Apache.<br /> <br />
-Maho@, Pfg@ and other volunteers are working with each other, and with the Apache OpenOffice project, in this work. The FreeBSD team did not fork. They are working as Apache OpenOffice committers, directly with the Apache project. <br /></p>
- <p>Technically, porting has not been very difficult. It has required only small, almost trivial patches, since Linux and FreeBSD are
-very similar. MacOSX and FreeBSD also share many similarities which
-has helped improve both ports. Porting to other BSDs would be easy as well,
-since the developers have marked their fixes by adding "FREEBSD" or "BSD" comments in the code, and they wrote up many Bugzilla issues. Many build fixes for other BSDs would be
-same as those needed for FreeBSD's port.<br /></p>
- <p>Since the OpenOffice project migrated to Apache, upstreaming has become much easier than before. Pfg@ joined the project and has pushed upstream over 30 patches. Currently, Maho@ is concentrating on porting and consulting frequently with Pfg@. Of course, Pfg@ not only pushes patches upstream, but also is actively working on porting. Maho@ will commit directly to Apache's Subversion repository very soon. <br /> <br /> Final words: This is not the e [...]
- <p>Finally, please remember that porting to FreeBSD also is a benefit for all OpenOffice users, since it increases the overall portability of the code and provides another valuable testing environment.</p>
- <p>Thanks, </p>
- <p>Nakata Maho </p>

-title: 'Apache OpenOffice: One Year, 50 Million Downloads'
-layout: post
-date: '2013-05-15T17:19:19+00:00'
-permalink: apache_openoffice_one_year_50
-
-<p>We are pleased to note that yesterday we reached the <b>50 million download mark</b> for Apache OpenOffice 3.4. This milestone occurred within a few days of the first anniversary of the release of Apache OpenOffice 3.4., on May 8th, 2012. <br /></p>
- <p>Apache OpenOffice (formerly called OpenOffice.org) is the leading free and open source office application suite for Windows, Mac and Linux. Version 1.0 of OpenOffice was released 11 years ago, in May 2002.<br /></p>
- <p>Although we're all very busy now with the testing of our next major release, Apache OpenOffice 4.0, it is worth taking a few minutes to explore some of the trends that can be discerned from our download data over the past year. The information we have gathered, relative to desktop OS versions, 64-bit Linux use, screen aspect ratios, etc., may be of special interest to other open source projects to consider in their
-planning. <br /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>First a scatter plot of daily download numbers, with a 7-day moving average overlay. Noticeable on the chart is the peak in June 2012, when we enabled the upgrade notifications for OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 users, and the peak in September when Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 was released. There is also a noticeable summer lull and big drop around the end-of-year holidays.<br /></p>
- <p><br /></p>
- <p><br /></p>
- <p align="center"> <img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/a75fe8ac-6a4d-4bb0-8e55-d02fbbfa9601" alt="daily-downloads.png" /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p align="left"> </p>
- <p>The following histogram shows the distribution of download counts. The average daily download count is 134,900, with a peak day of 197,500. On average we see around a million downloads every 7.4 days. Since a typical download size is
-130MB, this amounts to an average of around 17 TB per day of downloads,
-ably handled by SourceForge and their distribution network. <br /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p> </p>
- <p align="center"><img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/d21b73ef-9d0e-4a57-be4f-648552ab1182" alt="histogram.png" /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p align="left"> </p>
- <p> One final way to look at the daily counts (shown here in unit of 1000 downloads) is to decompose it into the sum of a smooth trend, a periodic weekly trend, and residual random noise:<br /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p> </p>
- <p align="center"><img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/2d9ef56a-0d28-44fe-88b7-d26556c55193" alt="decomposition.png" /></p>
- <p align="left"> </p>
- <p>We are able to break down these trends along several other dimensions. One is by country, looking at where the download request came from. This information is gleaned from the IP address of the machine making the request. Since each IP address is part of an assigned block of addresses, and blocks are assigned geographically, we can create a table of downloads by country, territory, etc. We show the <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/stats/countries.html">full [...]

- <p> </p>
- <p> </p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>Another approach is to look at which localized versions of Apache OpenOffice were downloaded. We can see these trends in the following dot chart:</p>
- <p> </p>
- <p> </p>
- <p align="center"><img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/0a472c36-6a5a-43f2-b8b5-3aeb80581ae7" alt="languages.png" /></p>
- <p>We can also look at the trend over time of downloads by operating system. OpenOffice is a mainstream open source desktop application, so the OS distribution reflects overall desktop operating system market shares, and with a slight growth in Windows at the expense of Mac:<br /></p>
- <p align="center"><img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/690f6d03-d666-4003-b1b2-8e44331e2511" alt="os-downloads.png" /></p>
- <p>Since we have Linux versions of OpenOffice packed as RPMs (e.g., for RedHat) as well as DEBs (e.g., for Ubuntu), we can look for trends in the ratio of requests for these two packaging formats over time:<br /></p>
- <p align="center"> <img alt="packaging.png" src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/d014552a-6517-489a-a5c4-bebff546640f" /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>Also, we have 32-bit and 64-bit Linux downloads, and we see a gradual increase in demand over time for the 64-bit version, though the 32-bit version still dominates. (The drop in July-September is not fully explained, but may have been an error in our download page that was not recommending 64-bit downloads appropriately.)<br /></p>
- <p align="center"> <img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/5f86ed31-5b4a-450c-94e3-15afc18834a8" alt="64-bit.png" /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>Although we don't have detailed download data for different Windows versions (we have a single download for all Windows users) we do have information from website visitors (nearly 7 million visitors per month) that tells a similar story. Windows 7 remains the most popular Windows version for our users, accounting for over half of Windows visitors. Windows XP is in second place, though declining. At the end of the year Windows 8 overtook Vista for 3rd place, and con [...]

- <p>Looking at the similar data for web browsers, we see the rise in Chrome users among our website visitors:<br /></p>
- <p align="center"><img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/f688dc39-bbd6-48c8-aafc-9b525a7b70e5" alt="browsers.png" /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>Information from website visitors also tells us their screen resolution. There is a huge diversity of screen resolutions, but the general trend is a gradual increase in HD 16:9 resolutions and away from the older 1280x800 and 1024x768 modes. If you average it all out and look at the average aspect ratio, you see a slow, but steady trend toward increased aspect ratios (wider screen monitors):</p>

- <p> </p>
- <p>The above charts were made in <a href="http://www.r-project.org/">R</a>, using data from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Download%20Stats%20API/">SourceForge's REST API</a> and from Google Analytics. The processing of the SourceForge data was automated via a <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/devtools/aoo-stats/detail-by-day.py">custom Python script</a>.<br /></p>

- <h2> Developer Education<br /></h2>
- <p>It is September. In the northern hemisphere it is time for cooler weather and time to go back to school. The Apache OpenOffice.org podling is ready for the season with events to help developers learn more about OpenOffice.org. </p>
- <p>Do you want to learn how to build Apache OpenOffice.org on Linux? Do you want to take the first steps towards becoming an OpenOffice hacker? Do you want to help test, review and improve our build instructions, on any one of a variety of Linux distros? If so, you will not want to miss this event.<br /></p>
- <p>Next week, from Wed September 7th through Saturday September 10th we will be making a concerted effort to enable everyone who wants to be able to build OpenOffice. This will be the first of a series of Developer Education topics we hope to deliver. Others may include how to build on Windows and Mac, and how to work on particular OpenOffice features.</p>
- <p>This will be a virtual event, with collaboration on the ooo-dev mailing list and on IRC. Members of the OpenOffice.org podling will be on hand to help anyone who wishes to get started with OpenOffice development on Linux.</p>
- <h2> How to Get Involved<br /></h2>
- <p>There are a few things you should do to prepare for this event:</p>
- <ol>
- <li>Find a Linux machine, at least 1GB RAM and 75 GB free disk space</li>

-<h3>Call for Translation Volunteers <br /></h3>
- <p>The Apache OpenOffice project issues a Call for Translation Volunteers, to help us complete several translations that are nearly done, but need an extra push before we can release them. Languages that are almost done include: Danish, Korean, Polish, Asturian, Uighur, Icelandic, Indonesian, Welsh, Catalan, Bulgarian, Latvian, Greek, Basque, English (South Africa), Portuguese, Swedish, Marathi, Kannada, Gujarati, Irish, Oriya and Turkish. We welcome with native fluency in [...]
- <h3>OpenOffice and Linguistic and Cultural Diversity<br /></h3>
- <p>OpenOffice is known for the many, many languages it supports, over 100. This broad coverage included many languages that commercial vendors often ignore, including languages used by smaller populations, minority/regional languages, endangered languages, etc. For example, South Africa has 11 official languages.
-OpenOffice has been translated to all of them. By supporting languages that would
-not otherwise be supported we help reduce "digital exclusion" and promote
-development, local education and administration.</p>
- <h3>Apache OpenOffice Translations<br /></h3>
- <p>With the move from OpenOffice.org to Apache OpenOffice we have decided to ship only translations that are complete and which are supported by the community. This helps raise the overall quality. Currently we have full UI translations released for English, Arabic, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Galician, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese,
- Dutch, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Finnish, British English, Khmer, Slovak and Slovenian.</p>
- <h3>How you Can Help <br /></h3>
- <p> </p>
- <p>We would like to support as many languages as possible. If we are missing Apache OpenOffice in your native tongue, we need your help to change this. The project is open to support any new language as long as their is an active translation community behind it. OpenOffice is made by volunteers and we need more help in different areas. Localization is one key area here and it requires no programming skills. Everything you need is <em><strong>motivation to help</strong></em> and all oth [...]

- <p> We have a solid base for some languages where we already have more than 93% coverage of the translated user interface strings. That means it is not too much work needed to make Apache OpenOffice available in these languages. For some of the languages volunteers have already started or already finished the translation and they will be released soon. It's now up to you to help us to support more languages.</p>
- <p align="center"><strong><font size="7">WE WANT YOU!</font></strong> <br /></p>
- <p>If you are interested, don't wait! Simply join our <a href="l10n@openoffice.apache.org">l10n</a> mailing list by subscribing to the list, send us a note and you will get the help needed to get started. More information is also on our <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/translate.html">How to Help Translate Apache OpenOffice page</a>. Join our community and be part of one of the biggest open source project on the world. You can help actively and you can make the differe [...]
- <p>The effort should be moderate and more volunteers can speed up the work on one language. For example making the translation for Danish complete took round about 30 hours starting by 97% UI coverage and here the missing pieces in the help files were translated as well. We plan to release further languages for AOO 3.4.1 and the next translation deadline is December 31th, 2012. </p>
- <p>Arabic is already released but we are missing an active translation community for Arabic at the moment. This can be a problem for future AOO releases and if you speak Arabic and are interested please join us, your contribution and help would be very much appreciated.<br /></p>

-
-<p>Here are a few selected topics from Day 2 of the Apache OpenOffice track at <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/">ApacheCon Europe</a>.</p>
-
-<p><em>For full coverage, see the reports from <a href="http://s.apache.org/openoffice-aceu2012-day-1">Day 1</a> and <a href="http://s.apache.org/openoffice-aceu2012-day-3">Day 3</a>.</em></p>
-
- <h3>OpenOffice in the cloud: online version</h3>
- <p>Judging by the number of questions made during the presentation and by the number of "new" faces in the audience, the star of Day 2 at the Apache OpenOffice track in ApacheCon Europe was Jian Hong Cheng and Fan Zheng's presentation about "Cloud Apache OpenOffice Based on HTML 5". The prototype implementation shown during the presentation relies on a "headless" instance of Apache OpenOffice that runs on a remote server, listens to the actions the user pe [...]
- <div align="center">
- <p><a target="_new" href="http://www.slideshare.net/pescetti/cloud-apache-openoffice-based-on-html5"><img src="http://people.apache.org/~pescetti/roller/20121107/cloud.png" /></a></p>
- </div>
- <p>In related news, the presentation by Xiu Li Xu, Kejia Ye, qi hui, Shenfeng Liu, DaLi Liu focused on how to <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/schedule/presentation/48/">integrate OpenSocial with Apache OpenOffice</a> to accelerate the content sharing and support the business in cloud. Two social extensions for Apache OpenOffice were demonstrated. These improvements will already be implemented in Apache OpenOffice 4.0, coming in early 2013.</p>
- <h3>Bashing Apache OpenOffice for a good cause</h3>
- <p>A series of talks today had a peculiarity in common: they were all highly critical of specific technical features of Apache OpenOffice. But they did it for a good cause: these parts have recently been improved, or will be soon, in the undergoing major effort towards a more maintainable code base, offering easier entry points to developers but preserving the current stability of the code:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Andre Fischer <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/schedule/presentation/50/">destroyed the current slide show functionality</a> with a great talk on how we can achieve smoother, eye-pleasant animations in Apache OpenOffice Impress. As he put it, currently "Impress... doesn't", but a proper redesign will allow a better integration of video and audio and direct support for 3D effects. Andre concluded his presentation by showing an experiment of smooth video playing with on-t [...]
- <li>Herbert Duerr <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/schedule/presentation/70/">pointed out the opportunities with platform integration</a>: the issues we are now having with system integration require work on many areas, including 64-bit ports and multi-threading. And the Apache OpenOffice code is written at a level that makes some basic system integrations difficult, but support for specific features such as some "gestures" in Mac OS X is coming in 4.0.</li>
- <li>Pedro Giffuni showed how <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/schedule/presentation/54/">outdated dependencies were making the early Apache OpenOffice code unnecessarily complex and easy to break</a>. The "IP clearance" period, one of the first actions taken during incubation, allowed to get rid of useless dependencies and to replace some outdated code, while preserving the previous functonality and stability and making ports (like the FreeBSD port) easier.</li>
- <li>Dwayne Bailey, one of the main <a href="https://translate.apache.org/projects/OOo_34/">Pootle</a> developers, and Juergen Schmidt made a comprehensive analysis of what can be improved in Pootle and in the Apache OpenOffice localization process respectively. The new Pootle will include an easy-to-use AJAX interface and direct support for translation memories and suggestions. Dwayne will be looking into extending Pootle with functionality useful for a new, simplified localization p [...]

- </table>
- </div>
- <h3>Community activities</h3>
- <p>Several talks mentioned how Apache OpenOffice can better integrate with the Apache community at large: opportunities for cooperation are huge and we definitely look forward to exploiting them.</p>
- <p>And those who still had energy after a full day of talks gathered just before dinner for a community panel. A lot of ideas came out of the group, including: creating a new entry point for Apache OpenOffice press requests, welcoming requests in different languages; getting Apache OpenOffice published in App Stores; packaging Apache OpenOffice for the most common (or all!) GNU/Linux distributions; setting goals for version 4.0, like doubling the number of supported languages.</p>

-<p>To complete our coverage of <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/">ApacheCon Europe 2012</a>, here's a brief overview of some sessions and activities from Day 3. Slides, audio and/or video of all sessions will soon be posted on the <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/">ApacheCon Europe site</a>.</p>

- <h3>Microsoft interoperability and cross-project cooperation</h3>
- <p>The day opened with the presentation by Matthias Stuermer about a <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/schedule/presentation/46/">User initiative for improving OOXML integration in LibreOffice/Apache OpenOffice</a>: the German cities of Munich, Freiburg im Breisgau and Jena, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court, the Swiss Federal IT Steering Unit (FITSU) and the canton of Waadt agreed to provide 140,000 EUR to improve the OOXML filters in LibreOffice/Apache OpenOffice.

- <p>To ensure that the code could be useful to both projects, the consortium demanded that the source code be available under the <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html">Apache 2 license</a>, the new Apache OpenOffice license, which guarantees that the code can be reused by other projects. The license is a necessary but not sufficient condition to allow a smooth integration: the talk was followed by a short discussion on how to make sure that Apache OpenOffice can real [...]
- <p>In a related talk, Weike Liang explained his work on <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/schedule/presentation/58/">improving the .docx export filter in Apache OpenOffice</a>, where he showed new developments based on code that is already present in Apache OpenOffice but is disabled since its quality does not yet match the high expectations users have of the Apache OpenOffice export filters.</p>
- <p>Other highlights of the day include: an introduction to the <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/schedule/presentation/158/">OpenOffice build system</a> by Andre Fischer (with a live build going on during the talk!), <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/schedule/presentation/44/">Scripting Apache OpenOffice</a> by Rony Flatscher of the University of Vienna (showing several interesting "nutshell scripts" to demonstrate how to programmatically work with Writer, Calc and Impress) and [...]
- <h3>Apache OpenOffice and the Apache community</h3>
- <p>A conference is much more than sessions. It is an occasion for people to meet, for ideas to sparkle and for contacts to be created. This was the first ApacheCon for the Apache OpenOffice community, only two weeks since it had become a top-level project, and it showed that Apache OpenOffice and the Apache community at large can be mutually beneficial.</p>
- <p>For example: imacat, an Apache OpenOffice PMC member, organized a session about Women and Gender Diversity at Apache; our developers had technical discussions with the <a href="http://poi.apache.org/">Apache POI</a> and the <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/">Apache ODF Toolkit (incubating)</a> developers to study possible synergies. And it was very nice, while dropping by to watch some presentations from other tracks, to see that most ApacheCon presenters had prepared [...]

- <p>Welcome to the first edition of Apache OpenOffice Weekly News. We're experimenting with a new way to give the OpenOffice community a look into the project and what we're doing week-to-week. We saw another Apache project, CouchDB, do <a href="https://blogs.apache.org/couchdb/entry/couchdb_weekly_news_april_3%20From%20ApacheCon">something similar</a>, and liked their approach. So in the open source tradition, we're going to borrow their idea.</p>
- <p>The exact format and timing of Apache OpenOffice Weekly News will likely change as we gain more experience with it, and based on your feedback.</p>

- <p>We
- received another report on the users mailing list from someone who had
-downloaded what he thought was OpenOffice, but instead got a bunch of
-malware. That wasn't us, obviously. Apache OpenOffice does not bundle
- any other programs in its package. Absolutely none. Our downloads are
- carefully scanned for viruses and are accompanied by digital signatures
- and cryptographic hashes to allow users to verify their integrity.<br /><br />However,
- there are third parties that sometimes take OpenOffice and bundle it
-with objectionable and intrusive applications. In some cases they put
-up fake websites, or purchase advertisements in search engine search
-results, to lure people to their website.<br /><br />It is unfortunate that
-such sites often come top of the hit list on search engines;
-inexperienced users download from them and their computers become
-infected with adware/viruses/trojans. When we know the exact URL of any
-such sites we do our best to have these removed or flagged, but it is an
- uphill battle.<br /><br />We recommend to download only from<a href="http://www.openoffice.org/download"> www.openoffice.org/download</a>
- which will redirect to SourceForge, whose secure content distribution
-network we use. A download from there will usually start within five
-seconds.<br /><br />Typically an OpenOffice download is about 145 MB; we do
-not use downloader applications, so any site offering a much smaller
-download should immediately be suspect. If in any doubt about a download
- it is best to check its integrity using MD5Sum; details are given at <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html">http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html</a><br /><br />OpenOffice is a complex and powerful software.

I couldn't put down "Black Prince" once I started.

A lot of people seem to *love* that story (if I may be so bold). The others seem to be getting very good responses, but Black Prince is the one that makes 'em jump up and down.

You describe the book as "Slipstream and Hard Science Fiction". Even as a casual science fiction reader I've heard of hard science fiction before, but what is
-"slipstream"?
-
-</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jon</b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">: This bears some discussion. I am going to write a small piece on it up on my <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/12706245.Jonathan_Swords_Holdsworth/blog">GoodReads blog</a>, but I don't know when, so please take the below as my views. 'Slipstream' is a neologism and may be regarded as some [...]
-
-I personally - and I'm not alone - see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roald_Dahl">Roald Dahl</a> as the grandfather of Slipstream, particularly with regard to his 'Tales Of The Unexpected' works. The 'unexpected', is most important in Slipstream.
-
-Slipstream, at least as I see it, is the modern approach to the Mystery/Macabre genre. But, being modern, it has some important differences. It tries to be subtle, usually, and avoid things being 'epic'. No giant conspiracies, no huge space-faring or mine-dwelling empires, poised to take over the world or anything like that. Instead, it often concentrates on the everyday, and things becoming very strange, or out of place. Of course it can be backed-up by anything you like: science fict [...]
-
-In traditional, ye-olde, Mystery fiction, the mystery is all-important and the characters and atmosphere are fleshed out as a by-product, if indeed they get fleshed out at all. The same is true of older Detective or Thriller fiction.
-
-With Slipstream, the entire package, taken holistically, is the genre. A strange atmosphere is brewed - and not necessarily a dread one! - as the story unfolds, and the story usually happens in the most mundane of settings.
-
-An external example: the excellent film </span><i style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nightcrawler</i><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">, with Jake Gyllenhaal, is something I strongly regard as Slipstream. Though it is a thriller, it concerns itself purely with news crews trawling a city for events, and no further! Though it is a psychological character-study, it achieves all its aims by dem [...]
-
-Several people commented that my story 'Black Prince' is, strictly speaking, a Slipstream tale, even though it is rooted in hard-SF. I'd like to think that is not only true, but true of all my stories, and hence the sub-title of my book.
-
-</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rob</b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">: Is this your first published book?
-
-</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jon</b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">: It is indeed.
-
-</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rob</b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">: OK. Let's get into the nitty-gritty details of what tools you used for creating the book. First, what OS do you work with?
-
-</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jon</b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">: Ubuntu. I started off on an ancient 11.04 install, but eventually it couldn't support the late versions of applications that I needed. I therefore decided to upgrade to 14.4.02 LTS (Long Term Support). Unless you are a dabbler, I would recommend only using LTS versions of Ubuntu.
-
-</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rob</b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">: Did you start off your work in Apache OpenOffice, or did you use something else for research notes, idea sketching, outlining, etc?
-
-</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jon</b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">: I use <a href="https://www.kde.org/applications/utilities/kwrite/">KWrite </a>for taking notes, and keeping notes about stories. But eventually everything lands on the launchpad of Apache OpenOffice (Writer).
-
-</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rob</b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">: Did you use the default named styles in OpenOffice or did you modify them?
-
-</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jon</b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">: Unfortunately, the default named styles in OpenOffice weren't of any use. I had to make my own templates with my own styles.
-
-</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rob</b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">: What kind of modifications did you make and why?
-
-</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jon</b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">: The reason for this is that manuscript-publication has very strict requirements, and there is almost no leeway: they must conform or else!
-
-What I did was take some MSWord Templates published (unconditionally) by Amazon <a href="https://www.createspace.com/">CreateSpace</a>, and transform them to OpenOffice Templates. This took a lot of experimentation.
-
-Along the way I settled on the 6" x 9" page-size, or "Trim", as all publishers recommend it as being the most flexible. You can get from a 6"x9" Trim to almost any other format quite easily, and many processes and printers out there in the world are already set up for it.
-
-My OpenOffice template for 6"x9" Trim, for use on CreateSpace (it could be used for any publisher, really) is freely available (with no restrictions) at: </span><a href="http://jonswordsholdsworth.com/templates/openoffice/" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">http://jonswordsholdsworth.com/templates/openoffice/</a><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
-
-All the styles in that template that have names that begin with "CSP - " are the ones to use.
-
-DISCLAIMER: if it doesn't work for you or does something bad - so sorry but it's not my responsibility - it's your responsibility, for downloading it!
-
-I'll put some detailed instructions up at some point, but basically if (in Page Styles) you set the first page to "CSP - Chapter Verso", then start typing on the second page, it all starts to become obvious.
-
-You need to read up on and understand the page concepts of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recto_and_verso">Verso and Recto</a> - this is very important, particularly in paper versions of a book.
-
-I have several Page styles defined in my template (as opposed to Paragraph styles, which my template also defines). Verso should always be blank, with no content in it, and your First Page should start a chapter.
-
-There is too much detail to describe here, but if you read up on the necessary styles required in a book - particularly a work of fiction - it will all start to make sense. Then you can look in my OTT template and you'll see where I have defined the appropriate styles for you to use. You are, of course, free to modify them in any way you like. But do bear in mind that you still need to conform to CreateSpace's requirements (in this case for a book in 6"x9" Trim), which the Page [...]
-
-Note one other thing: I live in Australia and abhor Imperial units of measurement, but unfortunately the world of printing and publishing is still firmly using them. You need to set OpenOffice - at least Writer - to use inches for everything. It will save you much pain!
-
-</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rob</b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">: While working on the book did you come across any features in OpenOffice that were new to you and which made your work easier?
-
-</span><b style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jon</b><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;">: The ability to have, and edit, per-document dictionaries was very useful! And the fact you can have them in parallel with the standard dictionary.
-
-Another thing was OpenOffice's memory management, it's rather good.
-
-I edited this book as individual chapters, initially - I highly recommend doing this, even if you are writing a Novel. Keeping the chapters separate gives you a lot more flexibility.
-
-However, when it came time to merge them - something I was dreading - it actually went very smoothly. The Page Styles adapted more or less automatically, and where they needed some nudging they obligingly nudged. But most importantly of all the program itself effortlessly handled a 322 page document.</span></font></p>

-I've heard that most commercial word-processors (OpenOffice Writer is regarded as closer to a true DTP system), really struggle with large documents.
-

In the absence of human proof-readers (well, I only have a limited population of them, and as they are unpaid they tire of the work quickly - fair enough too!) tools like this are priceless, p [...]
-
-<a href="http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/writer2xhtml">Writer2xhtml</a> -- Another free tool, part of the Writer2latex suite. I used its Writer2epub sub-tool. Suffice it to say, the eBook would not have happened without this tool.

- <p> </p>
- <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.7000007629395px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Jon</b>: A built-in grammar checker that was fast would be lovely.

Eg. if I type ctrl-G I want a 'Go To Page' window to come up! Otherwise, OpenOffic [...]
-
-<b>Rob</b>: I understand you did the hard copy of the book first. What did the pipeline for that look like? ODT->PDF?
-
-<b>Jon</b>: OpenOffice Writer, and then use the internal Export To PDF function. Despite some naysayers out there on the web, the internal PDF exporter works fine and produces a beautiful PDF that perfectly mirrors the ODT. Just make sure you have your Author details set in the Settings of OpenOffice (it's a general setting), and make sure the document has a Title set - these are used by the exporter to build the PDF's own metadata.
-
-<b>Rob</b>: For the e-book edition, what formats did you target?
-
-<b>Jon</b>: There are only two - EPUB (all eReaders except proprietary ones), and MOBI (Amazon Kindle. This format is being replaced by KF8 and AZW, but like all proprietary formats it has inevitably started running into marketplace and technical issues).
-
-<b>Rob</b>: What did the pipe-line look like for conversion to e-book?
-
-<b>Jon</b>: I was able to use FOSS software all the way up to and including EPUB.
-
-For MOBI I had to use a different machine (running the 'dreaded 8') and Amazon's own closed-source 'Kindle Previewer' tool (important note: 'Kindle Previewer' is a different tool to 'Kindle For PC' - this tripped a lot of people up). But that tool did an excellent conversion.
-
-To get to EPUB from ODT I used the Writer2epub tool, mentioned above. The EPUB that it produces is nearly perfect, but I still had to do a few tweaks to it - the full details are out of scope for this interview, but I promise I will put them up on my blog. The tool I used for tweaking the EPUB was <a href="http://sigil-ebook.com/">Sigil</a>, which is an excellent tool.
-
-EPUB is basically an on-disc website, in a particular directory-hierarchy, wrapped up in a ZIP file. So to edit one you need to be familiar with XHTML and CSS Styles. That's a big ask for a lot of authors! I am lucky in that I have a deep software-development background, including a good chunk of website building, so I knew what I was doing. For anyone else, I have to say the forums are the place to look.
-
-Side note: Forget about Calibre. Calibre is an excellent eBook library tool, but it's EPUB editor is an added-on afterthought. It can't do the job. Sigil, on the other hand, is a dedicated EPUB editor and makes things very easy.
-
-Big note - and apparently ALL word-processors that use XML based formats suffer from this: extraneous <span> elements in the text.
-
-If you look at the XHTML that is produced by exporting your ODT to EPUB, you will notice something odd. All through the text, you will find blocks of text that are wrapped in <span> tags, and these <span> tags usually have their own font-definitions and other style information. They can also be nested inside one another.
-
-Nobody know what causes these! And all XML-format word-processors have this issue! It's not unique to OpenOffice Writer.
-
-When you are looking at, and editing, your ODT in Writer, these <span>s are not a problem - because inside Writer it uses absolute font-sizes.
-
-However, to create a proper EPUB, you need to export with relative font-sizes. This means that <span>s that are nested inside one another, each with different font-size information, will start doubling-up or tripling-up font-sizes! For example, an outer <span> specifies a font-size of 83% (a relative font-size). Nested inside that <span> somewhere is another <span> and it too specifies a font-size of 83%. That inner span, will actually have a font-size that is 83 [...]
-
-It's also subtle. I was looking at an export of my EPUB onto a Kobo Glo, and couldn't work out why some of the pages looked terrible. It was difficult to put my finger on. Eventually, by a lot of visual comparison, I realised that the font-size was jumping randomly all over the page.
-
-To fix it, you need to come to grips with regex expressions and how to use them in Sigil (or your EPUB editor of choice). Sigil's regex support is rather good. These allow you to globally search-and-replace these annoying <span>s, or at least their style information. After doing this my EPUB was perfect (or as close to as I could see, anyway).
-
-<b>Rob</b>: What did you use for designing your book cover?
-
-<b>Jon</b>: I used <a href="https://inkscape.org/en/">Inkscape</a> to do the layout, blocking and writing, and I used The Gimp to process the photograph.
-
-The final export to PNG, at 300 DPI, was from Inkscape.
-
-I would advise that if you are going for PoD - Print on Demand - ie. paperback, as I did first, then be careful with cover-art. Smooth things. Up the chroma, and up the contrast. Even to the point where it starts to look a little 'cartoony'.
-
-The reason is that PoD processes, whilst they are 'good', are not 'great', and suck a lot of the life out of complex pictures and make them look a little grainy too. If the input image already has vibrancy to spare, it will survive better.
-
-Another thing - temporarily reduce it to the size of a postage stamp and look at it. This is how it will look on Amazon's book listings and other publishers' book listings. Think about how you want it to stand out (or blend in, depending on how you operate).
-
-<b>Rob</b>: Any other tips for readers of our blog who might want to start writing their own e-book with OpenOffice?

- <p>As August comes to a close it is time for millions of children and young adults to return to school. In preparation, parents empty their wallets for a variety of necessities: clothes, shoes, backpacks, notebooks, pencils, calculators, etc. But with one common back-to-school item parents and students often overpay by $100, $200 or more. In many cases parents can save money by using open source equivalents of commercial application software. For exa [...]

- <p> </p>
- <h3>Ten Reasons Use Apache OpenOffice for School <br /></h3>
- <ol>
- <li>OpenOffice is free. Commercial alternatives cost $100 or more.</li>
- <li>Because it is free you can install OpenOffice on <b>all</b> of your computers without any additional charge. Commercial products make you pay extra for the ability to install on multiple computers.</li>
- <li>You can install and use OpenOffice, with no subscription fees -- ever. Updates are free as well.<br /></li>
- <li>School districts, by using OpenOffice in the classroom, can save money in their budget, but also allow their students (and their parents) to run the same software at home for free. This is the open source advantage.<br /></li>
- <li>OpenOffice works the same on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. You are not trapped in a single operating system.</li>
- <li>OpenOffice speaks your language. It is available in over 20 languages, with many more translations in progress.<br /></li>
- <li>You can run OpenOffice from a <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/porting/index.html">USB-stick</a> and so work everywhere using your personal
-settings, even if OpenOffice is not yet installed on your friend's PC. </li>
- <li>There are <a href="http://templates.openoffice.org/">over 1000 document templates</a> for OpenOffice, free to download, including many <a href="http://templates.openoffice.org/en/search?f[0]=field_template_category%3A21">templates designed for education</a>.</li>
- <li>OpenOffice is extensible with 100's of <a href="http://extensions.openoffice.org/">free extensions</a> that you can download.<br /></li>
- <li>As an all-volunteer open source project we <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html">welcome students, teachers and parents</a> interested in helping us develop the next great version of OpenOffice. Learn new skills and gain valuable experience working on an open source project, while helping to improve the tools that you use yourself.<br /></li>
- </ol>
- <p>You can download our latest release, Apache OpenOffice 4.0, <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/download/">here</a>.</p>

-As the leading open source office productivity suite for over a decade, it is not surprising that Apache OpenOffice (formerly OpenOffice.org) has attracted attention from authors of technical instruction books. A search of the catalog of online book retailers shows many titles, including a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Open-Office-Basic-James-Steinberg/dp/1481270931">new one on OpenOffice Basic</a> from as recently as a few weeks ago.</p>
- <p>We encourage books to be written about Apache OpenOffice. This is good for the ecosystem. We keep a <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/support/books.html">list of known books about OpenOffice</a> on our website. If you know of a book that we are missing, be sure to let us know via our<a href="mailto:marketing@openoffice.apache.org"> marketing mailing list</a>.</p>
- <p>Also, authors and publishers of books related to OpenOffice are encouraged to contact us (via the above marketing mailing list). We can help in several ways. For example, we can answer any technical questions you might have about OpenOffice. We can also answer any of your questions regarding <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/trademarks.html">the use of Apache OpenOffice trademarks</a> in your book. We're also interested in doing interviews with authors fo [...]

-permalink: call_for_comments_apache_openoffice
-
-<p>Apache OpenOffice (formerly OpenOffice.org) is the leading free and open office productivity suite. We have many millions of users. In the past two years we've seen over 80 million downloads from our website, and millions more from 3rd party websites. </p>
- <p>Although most users are able to download OpenOffice successfully, we do get occasional requests for a CD. This is something that we (the Apache Software Foundation) do not currently do. We make the OpenOffice source code, and installable versions of OpenOffice, available for free download. But we're not involved in distributing CDs. However, the Apache License 2.0, like most open source licenses, allows 3rd parties to copy and distribute copies of the s [...]
- <p>So the open question is this: <b>Would it be beneficial for the Apache OpenOffice project to maintain, as a public service, a list of 3rd party CD distributors, on our website?</b> </p>
- <p>Also, it is probably reasonable to ask CD distributors, in return for giving
-them a listing on our website, to adhere to defined best practices.
-An example <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/distribution/best-practices.html">draft Distributor Best Practices</a> page is on our website. <b>Is there anything that should be added or removed from that list?</b></p>
- <p>We invite public comments on this topic, as comments to this blog post, or in an email to our public <a href="mailto:marketing@openoffice.apache.org">marketing mailing list</a>. Comments are welcome from anyone, especially users, potential distributors and the wider Apache community. <b>Please submit comments by January 15th for our consideration.</b><br /></p>

-<p><a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">Apache OpenOffice</a> is looking for a refreshed logo and branding for its upcoming 4.0 release.</p>
- <p><img align="middle" src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/19b19fa0-f51b-4c42-aa7d-ceb8d0d9aa62" alt="logo-contest-600.png" /><br /> </p>
- <p>This is a tremendous opportunity for designers to get involved in one of the most popular free and open source projects, and to get their work displayed to dozens of million of users: Apache OpenOffice just celebrated 40 million downloads in less than ten months.</p>
- <h3>Brand Refresh Project Scope</h3>
- <p>Required:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>An AOO Logo</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Considerations:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Can be altered for use in splash screens, about screens, publications, website, elements in application icons, etc.</li>
- <li>Brand proposals that show more than just a logo, considering placement in the areas of focus such as splash screen and websites.</li>
- </ul>
- <h3>Primary Requirements</h3>
- <ul>
- <li>Logo submissions must include the source.</li>
- <li>Logos can be as large as the designer wishes, but must be able to
-scale down and not loose detail. eg.. for website, splash screen, etc.</li>
- <li>Although text in the logo is optional, any font used must be a free
- and open font. eg. SIL Open Source Fonts. Any font used in the logo
-must be disclosed upon submission.</li>
- <li>Incorporation of gulls literally or symbolically, but not necessarily the existing shape used in current branding.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>If you are interested, please read the full <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Apache+OpenOffice+4.0+Brand+Refresh+Project">Brand Refresh Project page</a> (including the "child pages" at the bottom) to get more background, see what other volunteers are proposing and learn how you can contribute!</p>

- <p>The Apache OpenOffice project is an international, volunteer-led open source project. We develop Apache OpenOffice (formerly OpenOffice.org) the award-winning office productivity suite, and the code we write is used by tens of millions of users in over 200 countries. Not many open source projects have this reach. Not many commercial products have this reach either.</p>
- <p>We have coding tasks, large and small, easy and difficult. Our developers, some with over a decade's experience with OpenOffice, can help you get started. We'd also love to hear what ideas <b>you</b> might want to bring to OpenOffice. </p>
- <p>If this sounds interesting and you want to learn more, we have some resources to help you do that:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Our "<a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html">Get Involved</a>" page has an overview of our volunteer opportunities. We welcome volunteers in other disciplines as well, QA, documentation, marketing, support, etc.</li>
- <li>Our "<a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html">New Volunteer Orientation</a>" modules help new volunteers understand how the project works. The "<a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-development.html">Introduction to Development</a>" module is the key one for coders.</li>

- <p>As the Apache OpenOffice project gets closer to our big 4.0 release we're ramping up our documentation team. The goal is to have new User Guides ready for the OpenOffice 4.0 launch. If you know something about technical writing, or OpenOffice, or ideally both, we'd love your help. <br /></p>
- <p>Of all the opportunities you have to volunteer your time for worthy causes, why should you consider volunteering with the Apache OpenOffice documentation team? A few thoughts on that: <br /></p>
- <ul>
- <li>We're a fun, international group of volunteers, with a range of
-skills and experience, dedicated to free software and spreading the word
- about OpenOffice.</li>
- <li>Helping with documentation is a good way to "give back" to the open
-source community, something that can be done without requiring special
-technical skills or large time commitments.<br /></li>
- <li>Contributions are needed from volunteers with a range of experience levels and
-interests. From authoring, to editing, technical verification, proof-reading, graphic design and tooling, we need volunteers in many disciplines.</li>
- <li>This is a good way to learn more about technical writing and gain practical experience.</li>
- <li>OpenOffice is among the most recognized open source brands, up there with Linux, Android and Firefox. Your
-contributions to our efforts will potentially be seen by millions of users.</li>
- </ul>
- <p> If you want to learn more, please see our <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-doc.html">Introduction to Documentation</a> page or introduce yourself on our <a href="mailto:doc@openoffice.apache.org">documentation mailing list</a>.<br /></p>

- <h3> Why volunteer?<br /></h3>
- <p>Why would you want to volunteer with OpenOffice Marketing? A few things to consider:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>We're a fun, international group of volunteers, with a range of
-skills and experience, dedicated to free software and spreading the word

- <li>Helping with marketing is a good way to "give back" to the open
-source community, something that can be done without requiring special

-we need volunteers in many creative and business-oriented disciplines.</li>
- <li>This is a good way to learn about marketing, or one if its sub-disciplines, and gain practical experience.</li>
- <li>OpenOffice is among the most recognized open source brands, up there with Linux, Android and Firefox. Your
-contributions to our marketing efforts will potentially be seen by millions of users.</li>
- </ul>
- <h3>What we do</h3>
- <p>Marketing is the set of activities our volunteers undertake to communicate
-the value and benefits of the OpenOffice product, as well as the OpenOffice project, to potential users and
-potential project members. Marketing activities within the Apache OpenOffice project include: <br /> </p>
- <ul>
- <li>Monitoring and contributing to our social networking presence</li>

- <li>Designing new marketing collateral, such as brochures or CD cover art</li>
- <li>Working as a team to refresh the product's brand and visual signature</li>
- <li>Surveying users to understand their needs and concerns</li>
- <li>Creating a YouTube video to show the highlights of an upcoming release</li>
- <li>Working as a member of a core marketing team to enable a much larger group of volunteers and users promote
-OpenOffice.</li>
- </ul>
- <p> </p>
- <h3>How to Get Involved</h3>
- <p>You can start now, in three easy steps: <br /></p>
- <ol>
- <li>Subscribe to our public Marketing mailing list by sending an email to <a href="mailto:marketing-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org">marketing-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org</a> and respond to the confirmation email you will then receive.<br /></li>
- <li>Introduce yourself on the mailing list by sending an email to the Marketing mailing list: <a href="mailto:marketing@openoffice.apache.org">marketing@openoffice.apache.org</a></li>
- <li>Review our self-paced <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/orientation/index.html">orientation modules</a> to help you get started. If you are already familiar with open source projects at Apache, then you can quickly skim over the Level 1 and Level 2 modules and concentrate on the short <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/orientation/intro-marketing.html">Introduction to Marketing</a> module. If, however, you are new to Apache, and [...]

-<br /> <br />Open document editors are coming again to FOSDEM with a shared devroom which gives every project in this area a chance to present ODF related
-developments and innovations. The devroom is jointly organized by Apache
-OpenOffice and LibreOffice.
-<br /> <br />We invite submission of talks for the Open Document Editors devroom, to
-be held on Saturday, January 31, from 10AM to 6PM.
-<br /> <br />Length of talks should be limited to 20 minutes, as we would like to
-have questions after each presentation, and to fit as many presenters as
-possible in the schedule. Exceptions must be explicitly requested and
-justified.
-<br /> <br />Technical talks (code, extensions, localization, QA, tools and adoption
-related cases) about open document editors or the ODF document format

-title: Coming soon... Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2
-layout: post

-permalink: coming_soon_apache_openoffice_4

-<p>
-A new OpenOffice update, version 4.1.2, has been in preparation for a while. Born as a simple bugfix release, it became an occasion for some deep restructuring in the project: several processes have now been streamlined (and some are still in the works), new people are on board and infrastructure has been improved.<br /></p>
- <p>Now the wait is almost over, and we are approaching the final phases before the 4.1.2 release. But we still need help with some non-development tasks, like QA and final preparations (press release, release notes and their translation).</p>
- <p> OpenOffice is driven exclusively by volunteers, and everyone is welcome to volunteer. See <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.2">https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.2</a> for a list of opportunities and please contact our <a href="https://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#development-mailing-list-public">main development mailing list</a> if interested.</p>
- <p>Here's a quick summary of where we are at the moment.</p>
- <h2>Code and building<br /></h2>
- <p>Most of the code changes for OpenOffice 4.1.2 have already been integrated. Dozens of old and new developers contributed in recent weeks.</p>
- <p>For users, improvements are expected in stability (fixes in all modules: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Base), Microsoft interoperability (Sharepoint) and documents import.</p>
- <p>For developers, OpenOffice 4.1.2 is designed to be easier to build on modern systems and on non-mainstream systems, thus respecting the Apache OpenOffice mission of providing a solid codebase that people can adapt and customize.</p>
- <h2>Quality Assurance<br /></h2>
- <p>We welcome testers for bugfixes. If you can volunteer some time, helping is easy: you will have to download one of our development builds, you will receive a short list of bugs from our bug tracking system and be asked to verify that they are fixed. It is especially important for us to get coverage of all operating systems (so not only Windows, but Mac OS X and Linux too) and all languages (a few bugs are to be checked by native Chinese-Japanese-Korean speakers).</p>
- <p>In order to help, please read <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html">http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html</a> and contact our QA list as explained there. <br /></p>
- <h2>Release preparation</h2>
- <p>We already have volunteers for the main tasks, such as updating the website and preparing the Release Notes. But we could use more help, at due time, for translations of Release Notes and press releases. Please contact our <a href="https://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#development-mailing-list-public">main development mailing list</a> if interested.</p>

- <p>While doing the translation (and compiling AOO, after all I am a full blooded developer), I saw how awkward the translation process was and started to document it, that caused many funny discussions on the mailing list, and I am sure that my stupid (seen in the rear mirror) questions must have driven one or two to the edge, but everybody was helpful and did their best to help me gain the needed knowledge. Having documented the current process I started on a bigger challenge, [...]

I thought, they did it, to stop my flow of small patches (as committer I am allowed to change source/web etc. directly) but reality is that the community wanted to embrace my ideas.

AOO works The Apache Way, all members of the community are equal, there is a group (PMC [...]
- <p><strike>s</strike>lowly over time, I got deeper involved. <a href="wiki.openoffice.org">wiki.openoffice.org</a> suffered from lack of maintenance, that brought me in contact with an internal ASF project called "infra". INFRA is a group of volunteers that keeps the ASF infrastructure floating. Infra gave me the possibility to install a new vm, reinstall the wiki and maintain it. Infra used the same method as the old AOO community members, they let me do things alone, helped [...]
- <p>The AOO community can best be viewed as loads of specialists, each concentrating on their field of interest, but at the same time everybody are patient and open to help each other. Some of the members spent a lot of time on the community itself, making sure its a nice place to be and that everybody is listened to.</p>
- <p>About half a year ago, we had some strong discussions about the LO/AOO split, to me the split is really wasting human resources. The discussion was mixed with accusations that IBM controlled AOO. I found it interesting to note that the volunteers I knew was IBM employees did have quite different opinions (not following the company line, as others claimed) and was just individuals like the rest of us. I complained and argued that our PMC should do something, because I saw the PMC as a
-steering committee (hence the name), but I soon learned the hard fact, PMC is not controlling anything, but merely a group of volunteers that among others care for the community as a whole.</p>
- <p>One day my inbox contained a new surprise, an invitation to be part of PMC. Being PMC focused my interest on other corners of the community, and It interesting to see that developers are just a corner of the
-community, there are other parts equally important like QA,
-marketing, web site maintenance.</p>
- <p>Today I maintain together with other volunteers our core services, participate in design discussions, and develop my own little part (a new translation workflow). I am also deeply involved in infra work, where I integrate a new monitoring system, that covers services and vms for all Apache projects.<br /></p>
- <p>A big thank to ASF and AOO for showing me, how software can be developed in a true free spirit !</p>

-<p>A bit more then a year ago, we discussed the topic social media on our list. We decided to create official channels on different social media. I jumped in to join the administrator team of the official Apache OpenOffice Fan page. Since then, the number of fans has increased a lot.</p>
- <p>At the beginning, the Facebook fan page was not really promising. We were happy if we got eight to twelve new fans per day. This is not a lot for a project that has 50 million downloads per year. But our group started growing more and more. Now we have 40 new fans every single day, and we have about two users per day who post on our pinboard.</p>
- <p align="center"><img alt="Statistic about the growing number of the Apache OpenOffice Facebook fanpage" src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/2c9f4d60-02de-447a-b417-a4e20adb943d" /> </p>
- <p> But it's not the number of fans that makes the Apache OpenOffice Fanpage so special. It's the activity of our fans we like so much. You know, as community members we are often a bit separated from the users. I mean, we don't see them...it's not like a band who, playing a concert, see their fans from the stage. Of course, we have download numbers, and we can assume that our product is widely used out there. But for real feedback we have to go to our social media.</p>
- <p>We are surprised by the enthusiasm of the fan page community. Some of them are more then just fans. Sometimes we get really valuable feedback. And others have already asked how become a part of the community. For those who want more than just being a fan, I propose to join our <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#development-mailing-list-public">dev mailing list</a>. And for the rest we like to say a "big thank you Apache OpenOffice Fans!"<br /></p>

- <p>GraphicObjects are used when you insert a picture (pixel and vector data) or convert something to it. They already supported the full attribute set, so line style, fill style, text and shadow are possible. Geometrically, they could be transformed widely, but could not be sheared. Because now the content of GraphicObjects is displayed using primitives (and these are fully transformable) it is possible to also use shear and thus now completely support all geometrical transformations u [...]
- <p>More interesting is that this is also true for OLEObjects, thus I added all these possibilities to OLEObjects of any kind, not only to our own internal OLEObjects (e.g. Chart, mathematical formula), but all possible external OLEObjects. These can now have line styles, fill styles, text and shadow and can be fully transformed. It is also possible to convert them to GraphicObjects which is the base for converting them to something else. Thus, you may now slant or distort OLEObjects, c [...]

-layout: post
-date: '2012-11-14T13:51:52+00:00'

-<p>A nice feature I have implemented for Apache OpenOffice 3.4 released in May 2012, the new native SVG Import (see <a href="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/native_svg_support_for_apache" title="here">here</a>), will make an appearance to the next LibreOffice version. It replaces the former SVG import greatly improving user experience and
- removing dependencies of six external libraries, also benefiting
-startup (a little bit). It has been integrated to the LibreOffice trunk for their 3.7 version recently (see <a title="here" href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=44cfc7cb6533d827fd2d6e586d92c61d7d7f7a70">here</a>). This is also true for some more AOO features and bug fixes (e.g. the long missing LineCaps). These features are not yet promoted on the 3.7 feature page, but I hope it will be done as well and fancy as they usually do it for big features.<br /></p>
- <p>I am very happy about this, I write features at Apache for the 'public good', thus I intend them to be useful to as many users of the OpenOffice codebase as possible. It shows the flow of source between Apache OpenOffice and projects based on the general OpenOffice codebase thanks to the permissive Apache 2 License (<a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html" title="ALv2">ALv2</a>). I added my stuff to Apache with the goal to get it into all OpenOffice derivatives, and [...]
- to LO, and why there is no need for misleading statements about
- where to place new code; real OpenSource gurus always knew this
- anyways. I can only encourage every OpenSource developer who wants to get his code in all OpenOffice derivatives to do it this way: Add it to Apache OpenOffice under ALv2 and you are done!</p>
- <p>The other way is to distribute your code to all projects yourself which sadly requires more work (not only for you, but for everyone, BTW), but at least it is a fair thing to do.<br /></p>
- <p>It also shows that the main requested thing in every discussion on the net - to simply cooperate again - is already in place, seen from the Apache point of view. Hopefully the other way around will somehow be started too, in whatever way.</p>
- <p>One caveat is that the fixes and enhancements I have already done (It's never perfect in the first shot :-)) for this feature in the trunk for AOO 4.0 will be missing eventually because it's not easy for a third person to identify all the relevant changes which are part of this. I did not check that, but I hope it was done in a careful and responsible way (what I assume, they are experienced and trusted OpenSource guys). In the current state it will need watching out for changes and [...]
- <p>All this is much simpler for the normal case of using Apache software; it is intended to use source releases of any Apache projects and do whatever you want based on it (that's the Apache way). That way, you get the next bunch of enhancements and fixes automatically at the next release, no need to go through all fixes/commits and hand-pick the needed (where the hard part is to identify relevant parts when you've not done the changes yourself).</p>
- <p>In this model it is also common to commit back to the Apache project - not only because OpenSource is about doing this, but for simple complexity reasons. Even big companies have nowadays learned the lesson (sometimes the hard way) that it is nearly impossible to keep an own branch of software synched to the goodies coming from the source (and it's a waste of resources anyways). Maybe there are better (and bidirectional :-)) ways of collaboration in the future; a move to less-restri [...]
- <p>For the advantage of all users, I encourage everyone interested in working on the OpenOffice codebase to draw his own conclusions. Mine are clear; help us at Apache or be so kind to release it on Apache, too. That's the way to reach the broadest possible user base for your feature. A lot of users (download numbers <a title="here" href="http://www.openoffice.org/stats/downloads.html">here</a>) will thank you for it :-)<br /></p>

In today's case, when the user checked his browser's history he found what I suspected, that it was not downloaded from www.openoffice.org, but was a modified version, from another website, that was also installing other [...]
- <p>This is one of several traps for the unwary on the web today. It does not happen just to OpenOffice. Other popular open source applications, especially end user ones, run into this problem, e.g., Audacity, 7Zip, etc.<br /></p>
- <p>Things to watch out for include:
-
-
-
-
-
-
- </p>
- <ol>
- <li> Websites offering downloads of OpenOffice but requiring the use of a special "installer" or "downloader" application that installs other, unwanted applications before installing OpenOffice.</li>
- <li>Installers that ask you to <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Program%3aWin32%2fPameseg.AO">send an SMS</a> in order to receive a registration key to use OpenOffice.<br /></li>
- <li>Websites that try to sell you OpenOffice. This sometimes happens on online auction sites. Although it is entirely legitimate to sell CD's of OpenOffice as a convenience (bandwidth is limited in many parts of the world), users should know that they can always download OpenOffice for free at www.openoffice.org.<br /></li>
- <li>Websites that claim to sell you OpenOffice bundled with support, but then just direct you to the free community support forums, a service that we make available to all users at no charge.<br /></li>
- <li>Websites that have domain names, or social media account names, that are variations on "OpenOffice", but which point to websites that try to sell you OpenOffice or offer you a download of a version that is modified to install adware.</li>
- <li>Websites that purchase sponsored ads in search engines so their advertisements feature prominently when a user searches for "OpenOffice" or "Open Office" or similar keywords, and using these ads to draw traffic to their website, where the modified version of OpenOffice is offered.<br /></li>
- </ol>
- <p>The common pattern in these cases is that someone is using the good name and reputation of our project, and often our trademarked logos, to confuse you, the user, into thinking that the website is offering you a genuine copy of OpenOffice. These downloads, aside from the unwanted "extras" they may install, are often based on older versions of OpenOffice, and lack important security updates, putting you even more at risk.<br /></p>
- <p>Be safe. Remember this simple rule: <a href="http://www.openoffice.org">www.openoffice.org</a>
- is the official website for OpenOffice. Downloads there will always be free of charge.
-Downloads there are reviewed and approved by the Apache OpenOffice community. There may be other reputable websites that offer OpenOffice downloads as well, like SourceForge or CNet or others. They stand on their own reputation. <br /></p>So what can you do if you are tricked into installing a unsafe version of OpenOffice?
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- <ol>
- <li>If you are comfortable diagnosing and repairing your system, run anti-virus and malware scans, using a reputable program from a reputable source. This is an occasion where getting help may be warranted.</li>
- <li>There are several services that collect reports on incidents such as this. <a href="http://www.stopbadware.org/home/index">StopBadware</a> and <a href="http://www.sitejabber.com/">SiteJabber</a> are two prominent ones.<br /></li>
- <li>Let us know, at the Apache OpenOffice project, what happened to you. If you can provide URL's, and a statement about what the software did to your system, this can help us better understand where these things are occurring and to take appropriate action. Reports can be entered in our <a href="https://issues.apache.org/ooo/enter_bug.cgi?product=trademark&component=improper-use">public issue tracker</a>.<br /></li>

- <p>The Apache OpenOffice project is proud to help commemorate International Mother Language Day on February 21. Read more about why this day is important, how OpenOffice supports linguistic diversity, and how you can help.<br /></p>
- <h2>Why
-February 21 was chosen? </h2>
- <p>February 21st was declared as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mother_Language_Day">International Mother Language Day</a> (IMLD) by UNESCO. IMLD originated as
-the international recognition of <a href="%20http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Movement_Day">Language Movement Day</a>, which has been
-commemorated in Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) since 1952, when a
-number of Dhaka university students were killed by the Pakistani police and
-army in Dhaka during the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_Language_Movement">Bengali Language Movement</a>. This is the only event
-where people gave their lives to preserve the independence of using their
-mother language. </p>
- <p>To remember them there is a monument named Language
-Martyr's Monument (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaheed_Minar,_Dhaka">Shahid Minar</a>) in Dhaka University, Bangladesh. Every
-year more than a million people give flowers there. This is a big event in
-Bangladesh. Many foreigners visit Bangladesh just to experience the way the Bangladeshi people give respect to those brave hearts. Every town of
-Bangladesh has a Language Martyr's Monument, where local people give flowers. A Language Martyr's Monument is also built in Ikebukoro park of
-Tokyo, Japan. There are also Language Martyr's Monument in USA,
-UK, Italy and many other countries. Please think about your Mother Language
-not only on February 21 but also on other days. <br /></p>
- <h2>OpenOffice and Linguistic Diversity <br /></h2>
- <p>Today, the risk to Mother Languages is not just from government oppression. As we increasingly communicate and work electronically, the support of Mother Languages in our software is critical. If a language is not well-supported in software, that language and its native speakers are at a disadvantage. This is why at Apache OpenOffice, our <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/mission.html">Public Service Mission</a> puts a strong emphasis on supporting lingui [...]
- <blockquote>There are over 6,000 languages in the world, but unless the language is associated
-with a G20 economic superpower, commercial vendors tend to ignore it. The
-OpenOffice community has a long standing tradition of supporting a large number
-of languages, including languages used by smaller populations, minority languages,
-endangered languages, etc. For example, South Africa has 11 official languages.
-OpenOffice has been translated to all of them. By supporting languages that would
-not otherwise be supported we help reduce "digital exclusion" and promote
-development, local education and administration.</blockquote>

- <p>As a volunteer-run, non-profit organization, Apache OpenOffice depends on volunteers to help us translate OpenOffice. <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/translate.html">With your help</a> we can support hundreds of languages.

- <p>Apache OpenOffice 프로젝트는 자랑스러운 마음으로 2월 21일 세계 모국어의 날을 기리고자 합니다. 여기에서는 이 날이 중요한 이유와 함께 OpenOffice가 어떻게 언어적 다양성을 지원하고 있으며 여러분이 도울 수 있는 방법은 무엇인지 말씀드리겠습니다.</p>
- <h2>2월 21일을 기리는 이유</h2>
- <p>2월 21일은 UNESCO가 <a href="http://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EA%B5%AD%EC%A0%9C_%EB%AA%A8%EA%B5%AD%EC%96%B4%EC%9D%98_%EB%82%A0">세계 모국어의 날(International Mother Language Day)</a>로 지정한 날입니다. 세계 모국어의 날은 원래 방글라데시 - 예전의 동파키스탄 - 에서 1952년부터 기념하기 시작한 언어 운동의 날(Language Movement Day)에서 유래했는데, 이 날은 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_Language_Movement">벵골 언어 운동</a> 기간 동안에 Dhaka 대학의 학생들이 파키스탄 경찰과 군대에 의해 사망한 날입니다. 이는 모국어 사용의 독립을 지키기 위해 목숨을 바친 유일한 사건입니다.</p>
- <p>그들을 기억하기 위해 방글라데시 Dhaka 대학에는 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaheed_Minar,_Dhaka">모국어 순교자 기념비(Shahid Minar)</a>가 있습니다. 매년 백만명 이상의 사람들이 여기에 꽃을 바칩니다. 이는 방글라데시에서 큰 행사입니다. 방글라데시를 방문하는 많은 외국인들은 방글라데시 사람들이 그들의 용감한 영혼에 경의를 표하는 것을 경험합니다. 방글라데시의 많은 도시에는 모국어 순교자의 기념비가 있어서 지역 사람들도 꽃을 바칩니다. 모국어 순교자 기념비는 일본 도쿄에 있는 이케부코로 공원에도 건립되었습니다. 미국, 영국, 이태리를 비롯한 많은 나라에도 모국어 순교자 기념비가 있습니다. 2월 21일 뿐만 아니라 늘 여러분의 모국어에 대해 생각해 보시길 바랍니다.</p>
- <h2>OpenOffice와 언어적 다양성</h2>
- <p>오늘날, 모국어에 대한 위기는 정부의 탄압에서만 비롯되는 것이 아닙니다. 우리가 전자적으로 일하고 의사소통함에 따라 우리가 사용하는 소프트웨어에서 모국어를 지원하는 것이 매우 중요합니다. 소프트웨어가 어떤 언어를 지원하지 않으면 해당 언어와 이를 말하는 사람이 불리한 처지에 놓입니다. 이것이 <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/mission.html">Apache OpenOffice 프로젝트의 공적 목표</a>가 언어적 다양성의 지원을 강조하는 이유입니다:</p>
- <p>세상에는 6,000개 이상의 언어가 있지만 G20 경제 대국과 무관하면 상업적인 벤더들이 무시하기 쉽습니다. OpenOffice 커뮤니티는 소수가 사용하는 언어나 사라져 가는 언어를 비롯한 다양한 언어를 지원하는 오랜 전통을 가지고 있습니다. 예를 들어, 남아프리카공화국은 11개의 공식언어를 가지고 있는데 오픈오피스는 이 언어로 모두 번역되었습니다.</p>
- <p>자발적인 참여로 운영되는 비영리 기구인 Apache OpenOffice는 자원 봉사자의 도움으로 OpenOffice를 번역하고 있습니다. <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/translate.html">여러분의 도움</a>을 통해 우리는 수 백개의 언어를 지원할 수도 있습니다. 현재 우리가 지원하고 있는 언어의 목록은 <a href="https://translate.apache.org/projects/OOo_34/">여기</a>에서 볼 수 있습니다. 여러분의 많은 참여를 바랍니다.</p>

- <p>Il 21 Febbraio è stata dichiarata <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giornata_internazionale_della_lingua_madre">Giornata Internazionale della Lingua Madre</a> (International Mother Language Day, IMLD) dall'UNESCO.

Ogni anno più di un milione di persone vi si recano per deporre fiori. È un evento importante in Bangladesh. Molti visitatori stranieri si recano in Bangladesh per vivere l'esperienza dell'offerta del proprio rispetto per queste persone coraggiose da parte della pop [...]
- <h2>OpenOffice e la Diversità Linguistica</h2>
- <p>Oggigiorno, i rischi per diverse Lingue Madri non derivano solo dall'oppressione di governo. A causa della sempre maggiore diffusione delle comunicazioni e del lavoro per via elettronica, il supporto alle Lingue Madri nel nostro software è essenziale. Se una lingua non è adeguatamente supportata nel software, quella lingua e coloro che la parlano subiranno uno svantaggio. Questa è la ragione per cui la <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/mission.html">Missione di Servizio Pubblico [...]
- <blockquote>Esistono più di 6000 lingue nel mondo, ma una lingua non associata a una superpotenza economica del G20 è tendenzialmente ignorata dai rivenditori di software commerciale. La comunità di OpenOffice ha una lunga tradizione relativa al supporto di un gran numero di lingue, incluse quelle utilizzate da minoranze etniche o lingue in via di estinzione. Ad esempio, il Sud Africa conta 11 lingue ufficiali. OpenOffice è stato tradotto in ognuna di esse. Collaborando al sostegno di [...]

- <h2>Pourquoi choisir le 21 février ?</h2>
- <p>Le 21 février a été déclaré Journée internationale de la langue maternelle (JILM) par l'UNESCO. Cette journée consacre la reconnaissance du Mouvement pour la Langue commémoré au Bangladesh par la Journée du Mouvement pour la Langue depuis 1952, quand la police et l'armée de l'État pakistanais, qui occupait alors ce pays, ouvrirent le feu sur la foule des locuteurs de Bengalî qui manifestaient pour leurs droits linguistiques à Dhaka.</p>
- <p>En souvenir, le Monument des Martyrs (<a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaheed_Minar">Shaheed Minar</a>), près du Dhaka Medical College, au Bangladesh, a été érigé à la mémoire de ces morts. Chaque année, plus d'un million de personnes la fleurissent. C'est un grand événement au Bangladesh. Beaucoup d'étrangers visitent le Bangladesh et viennent découvrir la façon dont ses habitants donnent le respect à ces braves cœurs. Chaque ville du Bangladesh a son monument des Martyrs où [...]
- <h2>OpenOffice et la diversité linguistique</h2>
- <p>Aujourd'hui, le risque pour les langues maternelles ne vient plus seulement de l'oppression de gouvernements. Comme nous communiquons et travaillons de plus en plus par voie électronique, le support des langues maternelles dans les logiciels est critique. Si une langue n'est pas bien pris en charge par un logiciel, celle-ci et ses locuteurs natifs sont dans une situation désavantageuse. C'est pourquoi, pour Apache OpenOffice, cette mission de service public met l'accent sur ce souti [...]
- <blockquote>Il y a plus de 6.000 langues dans le monde, mais tant qu'une langue n'est pas associée à une superpuissance économique du G20, les éditeurs ont tendance à l'ignorer.

- <h2>Warum wurde der 21. Februar gewählt?</h2>
- <p>Der 21. Februar wurde von der UNESCO zum Internationalen Tag der Muttersprache (International Mother Language Day, IMLD) erklärt. Dieser Tag hat seinen Ursprung in der internationalen Anerkennung des Tages der Bewegung für die Sprache (Language Movement Day), an den seit 1952 in Bangladesh (dem früheren Ost-Pakistan) gedacht wird, als Studierende der Universität Dhaka während Demonstrationen für die Bengalische Sprache in Dhaka von der Polizei und der Armee getötet wurden. Dies war [...]
- <p>Zu ihrer Erinnerung wurde ein Denkmal mit Namen Shahid Minar ("Märtyrer für die Sprache") in der Universität von Dhaka errichtet. Jedes Jahr legen mehr als eine Million Menschen dort Blumen nieder. Dies ist ein großes Ereignis in Bangladesh, das viele Ausländer besuchen, um zu erleben, wie die Bangladeshi diesen tapferen Menschen ihren Respekt erweisen. Jede Stadt in Bangladesh besitzt ein Denkmal "Märtyrer für die Sprache", an dem die Bewohner Blumen niederlegen [...]
- <p>Denken Sie bitte über Ihre Muttersprache nicht nur am 21. Februar nach.</p>
- <h2>OpenOffice und Sprachenvielfalt</h2>
- <p>Heutzutage besteht die Gefahr für Muttersprachen nicht nur in der Unterdrückung durch Regierungen. Da wir zunehmend elektronisch kommunizieren und arbeiten, ist die Unterstützung von Muttersprachen in unserer Software ein kritischer Punkt. Falls eine Sprache in Programmen nicht gut unterstützt wird, sind diese Sprache und diese Muttersprachler stark benachteiligt. Daher wird bei Apache OpenOffice großer Wert darauf gelegt, sprachliche Vielfalt zu unterstützen:</p>
- <blockquote>Es gibt mehr als 6000 Sprachen weltweit, aber wenn eine Sprache nicht zu einem der wirtschaftlich starken G20-Länder gehört, tendieren kommerzielle Software-Hersteller dazu, sie zu ignorieren. Die OpenOffice-Gemeinschaft hat eine lang währende Tradition darin, eine große Anzahl von Sprachen zu unterstützen einschließlich Sprachen kleiner Völker, Minderheitensprachen, gefährdete Sprachen usw. Beispielsweise besitzt Süd-Afrika elf offizielle Sprachen. OpenOffice ist in alle d [...]
- <p>Als eine von Freiwilligen getragene, nicht Gewinn orientierte Organisation hängt Apache OpenOffice von Helfern ab, die OpenOffice übersetzen. Mit Ihrer Hilfe können wir Hunderte von Sprachen unterstützen.

-<p>Most of the posts on this blog are about the Apache OpenOffice product and the community of volunteers that develops it. But occasionally we write about interesting things in the broader Apache OpenOffice project, the ecosystem of extension developers, consultants, trainers, etc., that help users get value from OpenOffice. Today I'm pleased to feature another part of the ecosystem in this interview with the developers of <a href="http://www.prooo-box.org">PrOOo-Box</a>.</p>

- <p><b>What is PrOOo-Box? How does it differ from what a user downloads fromthe Apache OpenOffice website?</b><br /> </p>
- <p>With the PrOOo-Box, a user not only gets Apache OpenOffice, but also
-other interesting programs from the open source area, such as Lightning,
- Sunbird, Inkscape and FreeMind. Also included are a part of the
-documentation and useful OpenOffice-specific templates, extensions and
-macros. In addition, a user gets the programs for different operating
-systems.

- <p><b>What does the name "PrOOo-Box" mean?</b><br /> </p>
- <p>The name PrOOo-Box is a pun, that "OOo" comes from OpenOffice.org.<br /></p>
- </div>
-Pro = It is good. OOo = OpenOffice.org. In a Box = In the past, the CD
-was delivered in a Box. For the future, we will use the name PrOOo-Box
-although OpenOffice.org is now called Apache OpenOffice, but the name
-"PrOOo-Box" has a long history, we don't want to change it rashly.

- <p><b>What is the history of PrOOo-Box?</b><br /> </p>
- <p>The PrOOo box is a creation of the OpenOffice.org German community that was started in the early 2000s. The box was active up until to the
-secession of the LibreOffice fork. The development of the box was not
-continued after 2010. Then we, the new team of PrOOo-Box (currently J<span class="il">ö</span>rg
-Schmidt, Jan-Christian Wienandt and Detlef Nannen), have taken care of
-the PrOOo-box and its development since 2012.

- <p><b>Is PrOOo-Box free?</b><br /> </p>
- <p>Yes, the PrOOo-Box is free, in the sense of free software. The contents
-of the box are available under various free licenses. Downloading the
-ISO images is free and will remain free. In the future, as well as
-earlier, the physical box is also sold in order to cover our costs (e.g.,
-servers) and to support the local community.

- <p><b>What feedback have you received from users of PrOOo-Box?</b><br /></p>
- <p> The PrOOo-box has a long history, and in course of time received a lot of
-positive feedback, e.g., from computer magazines or private persons. For
-example we received the following comment from a German
-user:<br /></p>
- </div> "I think it's great, that you continue the project. Believing in OOo was the right decision."

- only by volunteer work.

- <p><b>What next? Do you have any other things you would like to bring to PrOOo-Box?</b><br /></p>
- <p> At the moment we have, in addition to the web-site, only a DVD version of
- the PrOOo box. In the future we want to provide CD versions, which
-will contain only the content for a specific OS such as Linux. We also
-plan to publish a version specifically for business users, and we are
-working on a "live" version which only will contain specific content for

- <p>Die meisten Beiträge in diesem Blog handeln von Apache OpenOffice und der Community, die es entwickeln. Aber manchmal schreiben wir über interessante Dinge im weiteren Apache OpenOffice-Projekt, dem Ökosystem Entwickler von Erweiterungen, Berater, Trainer, etc., die Benutzern helfen, die Vorteile von OpenOffice nutzen zu können. Heute bin ich froh, in einem Interview einen anderen Teil des Ökosystems vorzustellen, die <a href="http://www.prooo-box.org">PrOOo-Box</a> uns deren Entw [...]
- <p><br />Mit der PrOOo-Box, erhält ein Benutzer nicht nur Apache OpenOffice, sondern dazu weitere interessante Programme aus dem Open-Source-Bereich, wie Thunderbird, Sunbird, Inkscape und FreeMind. Ebenfalls enthalten sind ein Teil der Dokumentation und nützliche OpenOffice-Templates, Erweiterungen und Makros. Darüber hinaus werden den Benutzern diese Programme für verschiedene Betriebssysteme zur Verfügung gestellt.<br /><br /><b>Was bedeutet der Name "PrOOo-Box"?</b></p>
- <p><br />Der Name PrOOo-Box ist ein Wortspiel, dass "OOo" kommt von OpenOffice.org.<br />Pro = Es ist gut. OOo = OpenOffice.org. In einer Box = In der Vergangenheit wurde die CD in einer Box geliefert.<br /><br />Für die Zukunft werden wir den Namen PrOOo-Box vorerst weiterverwenden, obwohl OpenOffice.org jetzt Apache OpenOffice heißt. Der Name "PrOOo-Box" hat eine lange Geschichte, wir wollen den Namen nicht vorschnell ändern.<br /><br /><b>Was ist die Geschichte [...]
- <p><br />Die PrOOo-Box ist eine Entwicklung der deutschen OpenOffice.org-Gemeinde, und begann in den frühen 2000er Jahren. Die Box war aktiv bis zur Abtrennung des LibreOffice-Fork. Die Entwicklung der Box wurde nach 2010 nicht fortgesetzt. Ab 2012 hat das neue Team von PrOOo-Box (derzeit Jörg Schmidt, Jan-Christian Wienandt und Detlef Nannen), die Pflege der PrOOo-Box und die Weiterentwicklung übernommen.<br /><br /><b>Ist PrOOo-Box frei?</b></p>
- <p><br />Ja, die PrOOo-Box frei, im Sinne von freier Software. Die Inhalte der Box sind unter verschiedenen freien Lizenzen verfügbar. Der Download des ISO-Images ist kostenlos und wird frei bleiben. In der Zukünftig soll es auch wieder eine die physische Boxgeben, die verkauft wird, um unsere Kosten zu decken (z. B. Server) und die lokale Gemeinschaft zu unterstützen. <br /><br /><b>Welches Feedback haben Sie von den Nutzern PrOOo-Box empfangen?</b></p>
- <p><br />Die PrOOo-Box hat eine lange Geschichte, und im Laufe der Zeit erhielten viel positives Feedback, z.B. von Computer-Zeitschriften oder Privatpersonen. Zum Beispiel erhielten wir den folgenden Kommentar von einem deutschen Benutzer:<br /><br />"Ich finde es toll, dass Sie das Projekt fortsetzen. Mein Glauben in OOo war die richtige Entscheidung."<br /><br /><b>Haben Sie daran gedacht sich PrOOo-Box in andere Sprachen zu unterstützen?</b></p>
- <p><br />Im Prinzip wäre es möglich, aber wir haben nicht genug Kapazität. Im Moment sind wir ein Team von 3 Personen, die die PrOOo-Box nur durch ehrenamtliche Arbeit pflegen.<br /><br /><b>Was kommt als nächstes? Haben Sie andere Dinge, die Sie gerne mit PrOOo-Box bringen würde?</b></p>
- <p><br />Im Moment haben wir neben der Website nur eine DVD-Version der PrOOo-Box. In der Zukunft wollen wir eine CD-Versionen bereitstellen, die nur den Inhalt für ein bestimmtes OS wie z. B. Linux enthält. Wir planen auch eine Version speziell für Business-Anwender zu veröffentlichen, und planen eine "Live"-Version, die nur bestimmte Inhalte für Benutzer in der Kirche zur Verfügung stellt..<br /><br /><b>Wenn jemand helfen will, die PrOOo-Box weiter zu entwick [...]

- <h2>The house lights flash; Please take your seats. The symphony is about to begin.<br /></h2>
- <p><a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">Apache OpenOffice</a> will soon have some new features and other
-improvements, courtesy of IBM and their <a href="http://www-03.ibm.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.nsf/home">Lotus Symphony</a> effort. Interoperability, performance, accessibility improvements, as well as exciting new user interface elements are in the works. Read on to
-learn how the Apache OpenOffice volunteer community is doing this, and how this will benefit users of OpenOffice as well as developers who build upon OpenOffice. <br /></p>
- <h2>Movement I: The Contribution.<br /></h2>
- <p>IBM Lotus Symphony is an IBM licensed derivative of OpenOffice, offered at no charge, which <a href="http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Symphony_contribution">IBM enhanced</a> for their customer and corporate use. Symphony was developed with OpenOffice.org technology, essentially a fork of OpenOffice. Last May IBM decided to end that fork and combine their development effort with the Apache OpenOffice project. IBM contributed the source code for Symphony to Apac [...]
- <p>Once the Symphony contribution was received and checked into the Apache OpenOffice version control, the discussion to determine the best way to use this new code. The two primary options discussed on our mailing list were:</p>
- <ol>
- <li>Make the Symphony code the new base for Apache OpenOffice. Then merge back into Symphony the code improvements that had been made in Apache OpenOffice 3.4.<br /></li>
- <li>Continue with the existing Apache OpenOffice 3.4 as the base and merge features from Symphony into that code.</li>
- </ol>
- <p>There were good arguments for either approach, and we had a spirited discussion. The main points were:<br /></p>
- <ul>
- <li>Using Symphony as the new base would have required careful review of that code base, and months of additional work to bring it up to Apache IP requirements. Essentially we would need to redo much of the work we had already done with the OpenOffice code that Oracle had contributed via their SGA. This would have been more disruptive to other, non-IBM, OpenOffice developers, but would have brought the distinguishing Symphony features to a release faster.</li>
- <li>Merging Symphony features into OpenOffice would be less disruptive, but would be a slower path to integrating Symphony features, and would require more attention from IBM, since they know the Symphony code best.<br /></li>
- </ul>
- <p>In the end the consensus was to go with the 2nd option, merging Symphony code into OpenOffice. This brings the Symphony code, feature by feature, bug fix by bug fix, into OpenOffice, where it is integrated, tested, reviewed, etc., in smaller chunks, as it works its way toward release. Doing it this way is less flashy. There is no 'big bang integration" where everything happens at once. But that was the point, to avoid the disruptions of a radical c [...]
- <p>Work on the "slow merge" has been ongoing since last summer, in parallel with work on Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1. Our use of <a href="http://subversion.apache.org/">Apache Subversion</a> facilitated this kind of parallel development, where one group focused on the 3.4.1 release in a "branch", another group of developers started to bring Symphony enhancements into the "trunk".<br /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <p> </p>
- <h2>Movement II: Many Bug Fixes<br /></h2>
- <p>Expect to see a lot of bug fixes in Apache OpenOffice 4.0, especially in the area of Microsoft interoperability. The Symphony team reviewed their IBM bug reports from Symphony and pulled out the most important ones that were already fixed in Symphony. They then tested Apache OpenOffice, to see which of these bugs still existed in OpenOffice. For the ones that still were in OpenOffice, they merged in the fix from Symphony. This was a very efficient approach to [...]

- <p> On our wiki you can see a <a href="http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Fidelity_Improvement_Since_AOO341">visual "before & after"</a> look and some of these fixes.<br /></p>
- <h2>Movement III: New Features</h2>
- <p>
- Of course, a long list of bug fixes is impressive, but what about new features? Symphony brings those as well. A large one is a user interface addition of a "Task Pane". Since a Task Pane is continuously available, it can greatly improve productivity with some repetitive operations. Symphony had one version of this feature, but we're not just doing a literal copy of that UI, since grafting a UI of one application onto another is rarely successful [...]
- <p>Symphony had a nice collection of clipart and themes, and we're bringing those into OpenOffice. <br /></p>
- <p>IAccesible2 is an interface used by "assistive technologies" (screen readers, etc.) to help persons with disabilities use desktop applications. We're bringing the IAccesible2 support from Symphony into OpenOffice. Coding for this feature is also ongoing in a branch.</p>
- <p> <br /></p>
- <h2>Movement IV: più allegro, anyone?<br /></h2>That's a summary of what Symphony is bringing to Apache OpenOffice 4.0 and beyond. Users of OpenOffice will benefit from these enhancements, of course. But so will other products, based on Apache OpenOffice, as they build their solutions on top of Apache OpenOffice, or selectively copy functionality from our releases. <br />
- <p>When exactly will Apache OpenOffice 4.0 be released? We don't have a date set yet, but we think it will be before mid-year. As a volunteer-led open source project we rely on our volunteers to set the direction and pace of the work. We welcome help in any of these areas, from developers of course, but also from associated project functions, like QA, design, documentation, translation, marketing, etc. If you are interested in volunteering with the Apache OpenOf [...]

-title: Native SVG support for Apache OpenOffice 3.4 (Incubating)
-layout: post
-date: '2012-01-19T11:02:42+00:00'
-permalink: native_svg_support_for_apache
-
-<p>Apache OpenOffice 3.4 supports embedding SVG graphics using a newly created native SVG interpreter implementation. I want to talk about the advantages and some internals of this solution and the necessary changes done.<br /></p>
- <p>One reason to do this was IP clearance. It allowed removal of six GPL/LGPL libraries, namely
-librsvg, libcroco, libgsf, gdk-pixbuf, glib, and pango gettext. These
-were used as an external pixel-based renderer. The new SVG uses an own internal
-interpreter in a new library and some new UNO API services. IP clearance was no interesting task to do, but it leaded to effects like here with SVG; the install sets get smaller (less libraries to deliver), the app needs less libraries (startup, memory, runtime) and the internal handling of SVG vector data is completely vector-graphic oriented.<br /> <br />There were also ODF-compatible File Format adaptions needed, more concrete the in ODF already contained and described multi-image sup [...]
-would expect from such a feature and can be easily extracted (unzip the ODF file and there you are). There is also a Png file
-written as replacement image. The draw:frame is now multi-image
-capable (as the spec allows). In the case of a SVG it writes a good
-quality Png and the original SVG as draw:image elements. Since older
-(and other) office versions are only capable of loading a single (and
-thus the first) image, the Png is written first. This allows file
-exchange with other and older offices without breaking backward compatibility and/or ODF file exchange. At load time, multi-image support
-will choose the best quality graphic available for further work, e.g.
-preferring vector format over pixel format, pixel format with
-alpha over non-alpha and lossless formats over those with
-losing info (you get the idea). Other ODF implementations (e.g. a
-viewer) may just use the pixel graphic available. Multi-image support is
-independent from SVG in principle and will work with all image file
-formats. This is implemented for the Drawinglayer graphic object (used
-in Draw/Impress/Calc) and the Writer graphic object (used in Writer).
-<br /> <br />SVG is no longer interpreted each time it needs to be
-rendered (unavoidable by an external renderer), but only once transformed to a
-sequence of primitives (UNO API graphic atoms). That sequence is then used for all outputs,
-transformed to the graphic object's form and viewport. The
-sequence itself is completely view-independent. Internally, it is reused
-and thus it makes no difference if you have your SVG graphic added once
-or multiple times to your document. This is also true for saving, so always only one copy of your added SVG will be written (the same is true for the replacement
-Png image). Both, the sequence of primitives and the replacement
-image, are created using new UNO API services. One is capable of
-converting an io::XInputStream with SVG content to a sequence of primitives, the other is
-able to convert every sequence of primitives to a rendering::XBitmap
-with given DPI and discrete sizes (pixels, with automatic resolution
-reduction to a given maximum square pixel count to be on the safe side). This will be useful
-for other purposes, too, since it creates a fully alpha-capable
-representation of anything in primitive format to use as e.g. sprite.
-<br /> <br />For all graphic processing the created vector graphic in form
-of a sequence of primitives is used. This means that you will get best
-quality in all zoom situations and all resolutions. This is also true
-for all exports, e.g. printing or PDF export which also uses the vector
-format. With an external renderer, it is unavoidable to use bitmaps with
-discrete solution in those cases, looking bad when zooming and needing more space in most cases as vector data. There is one caveat since not all
-program paths already use primitives; some will use the internal MetaFile
-format in-between (One more reason for more reworks to primitive usages
-in the future).
-<br /> <br />I implemented most SVG features from SVG 1.1, but not yet
-using animations or interactions (but possible in the future due to an
-own interpreter, impossible with an external SVG renderer). It supports
-all geometric SVG forms. It supports SVG gradients (using a new primitive
-for this which will be reused when we add SVG gradients to
-SdrObjects one day), these have a resolution-dependent low-level format
-to not waste runtime on low resolutions. It supports masks, clipPath, markers, linked content, embedded graphics or SVG (intern, extern,
-base64), SVG use nodes, text, text on curve and patterns. It does not yet
-support filters, color profiles, embedded scripts, interactions and
-linking. These can be added when needed, most of them will need to
-implement new primitive types (e.g. filtering) which would be useful for the future
-anyways.
-Especially interesting is the possibility to later add SVG animation import to GraphicObjects for Impress.<br /> <br />Some side effects: I had to fix cropping (unified with new primitive) which
-works now also for mirrored graphics (never worked) and quite some other
-stuff. We are prepared for SVG gradients as possible future feature (we
-can already render them now). You can work with an added SVG as with a normal GraphicObject; crop it, break it (to SdrObjects, currently limited to the
-transfer over the old MetaFile format, though). You can convert an
-inserted Tux to 3D, you can bend the SVG in vector quality in Draw. It
-is possible to directly export the original SVG again by selecting the
-object and using 'Save as Picture...' from the context menu. You can add text, line style, fill
-style, pretty much the same as most other graphic objects. You can add
-shadow which casts shadow for the SVG graphic itself as expected (also not possible with an
-external renderer).
-<br /> <br />This is a bigger change, but most stuff is isolated in the
-two mentioned services. There will be errors (I'm too long a programmer
-to deny that :-)), but I tried to be as careful as possible. I already got some help from other community members and fixed some reported bugs (kudos to all testers and bug writers), but to find
-the rest, your help is appreciated. Please feel free to play around with any
-SVG you can find in current AOO 3.4 builds and report problems early in the <a href="https://issues.apache.org/ooo/">Apache bugtracker</a>!

- <p>We get many emails, several per week, of individuals and companies wanting to "do business" with us. Some of it is obviously spam, but some of it is quite serious. The proposals do not have bad intentions, though they are often incompatible with our status as a non-profit organization. We try to respond to these notes and in a respectful manner. <br /></p>
- <p>In general, if you are offering us money in return for a favor, we're not interested. The Apache OpenOffice project operates as part of the non-profit Apache Software Foundation. We're publishing open source code for the public benefit. We must operate fairly, without giving special advantage (or disadvantage) to any 3rd party. <br /></p>
- <p>Some specific things we're not interested in: <br /></p>
- <ul>
- <li>We're not interested in bundling your application with our install in return for money. But the <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html">Apache License</a> permits you to make and distribute your own bundle.<br /></li>
- <li>We're not interested in endorsing your product.</li>
- <li>We're not interested in adding a link to your website in return for you adding a link to ours.</li>
- <li>We're not interested in taking your money in return for a special "advisory" role in the project. We're a meritocracy. Membership is not for sale.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>But make no mistake -- we're not antagonistic to businesses or commercial use of OpenOffice. In fact our license, the permissive Apache License, is one of the most <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/why/why_compliance.html">business-friendly licenses</a> around. We want you to use our code. But we cannot have "partners" in the same way that a for-profit corporation can. </p>
- <p>Our lack of commercial entanglements with 3rd parties means that
- you can operate commercially without fear that your competitor has a "special
- relationship" with the project, giving them an unfair advantage. <br /></p>
- <p>On the other hand, we do encourage things like:</p>
- <ul>
- <li><a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html#Paypal">Contributions to the Apache Software Foundation</a>, which benefit the ASF as a whole. Dozens of companies that sponsor the ASF are acknowledged on the <a href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/thanks.html">Thanks Page</a>.<br /></li>
- <li><a href="https://openoffice.apache.org/contributing-code.html">Contributions of code</a> to the OpenOffice project, that helps us extend its capabilities.</li>
- <li><a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#marketing-mailing-list-public">Send us</a> links to articles, news stories, tutorials, extensions, or other materials, related to OpenOffice. If it is good, relevant and non-spammy, then we might link to it. But we're never going to link to something purely for the sake of a link exchange.<br /></li>
- <li>If you offer services related to OpenOffice, then we welcome your profile submission for our <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultants.html">consultants listings</a>.</li>
- <li>If you are doing something really interesting related to OpenOffice, maybe we'll interview you for an article on this blog. Stories related to what the broader ecosystem is doing are interesting to our readers. <br /></li>

-<p>We received the following mail from Mr. Ziegler on the developer mailing list [1] and we want to share it with all of you:<br /></p>
- <p>Quote start<br /></p>
- <p><i>I was encouraged to leave my aoo forum post directly in the dev mailing
-list so that you all can read what I wanted to express. I am not a
-software developper in any sense--only a user.
-<br /><br />Dear developers,
-</i> <i><br />there may be little positive feedback for your work, I guess. So I
-created an account for the forum (and now subscribed temporarily to
-dev@aoo) to leave a big THANK YOU!
-<br /><br />The first version I used must have been something like StarOffice
-4.3, the first I owned was SO 5.2, and then I shifted to
-OpenOffice(.org) when it introduced the XML file formats. So I am a
-convinced and longterm user since then and hardly ever regretted my
-decision.
-</i> <i><br /><br />OpenOffice gave me the possibility to mostly do what I wanted to
-(with writer, base, calc, impress and draw - in that historic order) in
- an efficient way, and the only thing I don't like is, that it always
-tends towards following MS Office although it already was better in
-many ways. I understand that it is crucial to get as many users as
-possible, so I acknowledge the decisions towards MS Office.
-</i> <i><br /><br />What I like most is the long term usability and stability, and I do
- not only keep my office files from more than 10 years ago, I also use
-and re-use them. And if one crashed in the past, I nearly always could
-recover them by opening the zip bundle with an (hex) editor.
-</i> <i><br /><br />By that, I enjoyed the progress in LibreOffice, but didn't really
-need it. Although I switched to LibreOffice on some machines, I am
-always glad that there is OpenOffice, too. In my eyes, it is the more
-stable and efficient branch of the project. This year it was my
-fallback tool and salvation in a book project that I started with LO
-Writer; I first invested hours to get my pictures back to the place
-they belonged to when they got more and more (as others did decades
-before with MS Word) and then had to give up as it didn't open the file
- anymore without crashing. Apache OpenOffice (standard and portable)
-solved the problem. It got a nice book, by the way, for our church
-jubilee.
-</i> <i><br /><br />So if you get the software maintained, I will probably continue to
-use OpenOffice for another 20 years. And I won't switch to DTP software
- (Scribus) for the next book project neither like I regularly do for
-magazines, brochures etc.
-</i> <i><br /><br />OpenOffice is a great, great software, even if it didn't evolve much
- in the last years! (maybe even: because..) Powerful enough for both
-private and standard business use.
-</i> <i><br /><br />Keep patience and persistance!
-</i> <i><br /><br />A very satisfied and content user </i> </p>

-<p>The <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/projects/openofficeorg.html">Apache OpenOffice.org (incubator)</a> project was born on Monday, June 13, 2011. Delivery was complicated. The baby’s doing fine.</p>
- <p>Following the <a href="http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/statements-on-openofficeorg-contribution-to-apache-nasdaq-orcl-1521400.htm">June 1, 2011 announcement</a> of the license grant from Oracle to the Apache Software foundation, there was extensive discussion over the proposal for acceptance of OpenOffice.org as an Apache <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html">incubator project</a>. Before the June 10 voting began, 207 edits had been ma [...]
- <p>We’re now taking the baby steps that will lead us to a healthy, thriving project:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>The open, public developers list, <font face="Courier New"><a href="http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ooo-dev/">ooo-dev</a></font>, is operating and active. Anyone can subscribe and post. Anyone can access the archive. </li>
- <li>There is a fledgling <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Wiki+Home">Community Wiki</a>. Anyone can subscribe and post. Anyone can access the wiki. </li>
- <li>There is also a <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOODEV/Wiki+Home">Developer Wiki</a>. Contributions here are treated as deliverables of the project. Anyone can access the wiki, but contributions to this wiki require submission of an <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas">Apache Contributor License Agreement</a>. Perhaps this wiki could have a better name? </li>
- <li>There is a <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/">project web site</a>. The content is rather thin at the moment. It is growing. </li>
- <li>
- <div align="left">There’s also <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/">a place</a> in the <a href="http://subversion.apache.org/">Apache Subversion</a> repository for all of the source code. At the moment that consists of tools and the project web site pages (created in <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</a>).</div>
- </li>
- </ul>
- <p align="left">The gathering of contributors for the project is continuing. In the status of many of the incubating podlings, you’ll find the OpenOffice.org <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/July2011">podling’s first check-up</a>. (Scroll down through the alphabetical list.) </p>
- <p align="left">There is more to do, especially around migration of the sites and their artifacts from their OpenOffice.org homes to their Apache counterparts. There are more tasks to accomplish than the number already completed.</p>
- <p align="left">Everyone wants to know how soon there will be another OpenOffice.org release and how rapidly everything can be up and running. So do we. Apache OpenOffice.org will be different. The differences may be unrecognizable, but they will be there. Establishing what it takes to reach a sustainable, supported release process as an Apache project is where we first begin by crawling, next to walk, and then to run</p>
- <p align="left">This blog is a place for listening to the heartbeat and taking the pulse of the effort as it unfolds.</p>

-<p> </p>
- <p> </p>
- <p align="center"><a href="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/48dcceda-acd3-4f7b-baf3-f94eb7bef82d"><img alt="large_document_freedom_day.jpeg" src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/48dcceda-acd3-4f7b-baf3-f94eb7bef82d" /></a> </p>
- <h2>What is Document Freedom Day? <br /></h2>
- <p>Document Freedom Day, the last Wednesday in March, is a global celebration of open standards, especially ones that are used in your documents. At Apache OpenOffice, we're strong supporters of open standards and we're pleased to join in this year's celebration. But we're much more than passive supporters of open standards. We're also active implementers of open standards, and several of our project volunteers serve on standards committees as well. <br /></p>
- <h2>What is an Open Standard? <br /></h2>
- <p>There are many definitions of "open standard", some of which are summarized on this <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_standard">Wikipedia page</a>. But the central idea is that an open standard is a standard that 1) is developed in an open, consensus based standardization process, and 2) does not require royalty payments in order to implement. <br /></p>
- <h2>Why are Open Standards important?
-
-</h2>
- <ul>
- <li>The use of open standards makes your software less expensive, since
-the authors of the code do not need to pay royalties. Free software,
-including open source
- software, would be nearly impossible to create without open
-standards.</li>
- <li>Open standards promote widespread adoption and interoperability.<br /></li>
- <li>Open standards encourage a market where vendors compete based on features and quality, rather than rely on vendor lock-in.</li>
- <li>Open standards put <b>you</b> in control of your documents and your data.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Open standards are what the World Wide Web was built upon, and this openness was essential to its success. Tim Berners-Lee explained why was so in a 2007 interview:</p>
- <blockquote>
- <p>It was the standardization around HTML that allowed the
-web to take off. It was not only the fact that it is standard, but the
-fact that it’s open and the fact that it is royalty-free.</p>
- <p>So what we saw on top of the web was a huge diversity and different
-business which are built on top of the web given that it is an open
-platform.</p>
- <p>If HTML had not been free, if it had been proprietary technology,
-then there would have been the business of actually selling HTML and the
- competing JTML, LTML, MTML products. Because we wouldn’t have had the
-open platform, we would have had competition for these various different
- browser platforms, but we wouldn’t have had the web. We wouldn’t have
-had everything growing on top of it.</p>
- <p>So I think it very important that as we move on to new spaces … we
-must keep the same openness we that had before. We must keep an open
-internet platform, keep the standards for the presentation languages
-common and royalty free. So that means, yes, we need standards, because
-the money, the excitement is not competing over the technology at that
-level. The excitement is in the businesses and the applications that you
- built on top of the web platform.</p>
- </blockquote>
- <p> </p>
- <h2>How is Apache OpenOffice involved in Open Standards?</h2>
- <p>We're involved in two ways. First, we're an implementer of several key open standards, including: <br /></p>
- <ul>
- <li>Open Document Format (ODF), the ISO-approved standard for office documents. ODF is the default document format in OpenOffice.<br /></li>
- <li>Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), the W3C standard for vector graphics.</li>
- <li>Portable Document Format (PDF), the ISO-approved standard for
-fixed-layout document representations.</li>
- <li>Mathematical Markup Language (MathML), the W3C standard for
-representing mathematical equations.</li>
- </ul>
- <p align="center"><a href="https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office"><img src="http://opendocument.xml.org/sites/opendocument.xml.org/files/u2/odf-community.jpg" /></a></p>
- <p>Secondly, many of our volunteers are actively involved in the creation and maintenance of open standards, especially at OASIS, where the <a href="https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/office/">technical committee for ODF</a> is:</p>
- <p> </p>
- <p><br /></p>
- <ul>
- <li>Oliver Rainer-Wittman is a long-time member of the OASIS ODF Technical Committee (TC), and also participant in <a href="http://www.odfplugfest.org/">ODF Plugfests</a>.</li>
- <li>Dennis Hamilton is a member of the ODF TC and Secretary of the <a href="https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/oic/">ODF Interoperability and Conformance (OIC) TC</a>, and is active as well in ISO/IEC JTC1 SC34/WG6 where the ISO version of ODF is maintained.<br /></li>
- <li>Rob Weir is Chair of the OASIS ODF TC and a frequent participant in ODF Plugfests.<br /></li>
- <li>Other OpenOffice Committers are members of the OASIS ODF TC, including Regina Henschel, Louis<span class="gD" name="Louis Suárez-Potts"> Suárez-Potts</span><span class="go"></span>, Don Harbison and Michael Stahl.<br /></li>
- <li>Others at Apache are involved in ODF standardization, included Svante Schubert, Committer in the Apache ODF Toolkit Project, who is Chair of the Advanced Document Collaboration Subcommittee, developing enhanced change tracking support for the next version of ODF.<br /></li>
- </ul>
- <h2>What can You do to help promote open standards?
-
-</h2>
- <ol>
- <li>Use open standards wherever your application supports them.</li>
- <li>If your favorite application doesn't support open standards like ODF, write to your vendor and request that they add support.<br /></li>
- <li>When you publish or share a document, do so in open formats like ODF or PDF.<br /></li>
- </ol>
- <p><br /></p>
- <ol> </ol>

-<p> One major advantage of OpenOffice is that it is open source and that
- the license allows you to use and install it as often you want. Once you

- The project likes to count downloads because high
-download numbers are our motivation and if you want they are the indirect payment
- for all the volunteers. But we are also happy if you share your
-download with many other people or inside your company. If you do so
-please share your success stories of bigger deployments with us and we
-are happy to share your experience via our blog here. Keep in mind that
-sharing your experience, your success with other users in the community
-is also one kind of contribution to help the eco-system around
-OpenOffice growing.

- P { margin-bottom: 0.08in }
- A:link { so-language: zxx }
- -->
- </style>
- <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I sent out a similar email to our mailing list before
-Christmas and before I took a short break to relax with my family and
-friends. But it's maybe worth sharing with a broader audience
-here on the blog.</p>
- <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Let me first tell you something about
-me (Juergen Schmidt=jsc) and to explain the title of this blog. I have been involved in the
-OpenOffice project since the beginning and have worked on the source
-code before when I started to work for StarDivision in 1997. So I can
-for sure argue that I am one of <b>many</b> grandfathers of the
-OpenOffice project and that the last year or better the last 16 month were
-not the most brilliant in the long and successful history of the
-OpenOffice project.
-</p>
- <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">A lot of misunderstanding and
-miscommunication led to confusion by our users and before we start
-in a challenging new year I would like to share some thoughts with
-you about the last months, my private expectations, and my wishes for
-the next year. <br /><br />Oracle's announcement to stop their investment
-in OpenOffice.org was a shock for me. Well the reason is obvious, I
-was paid by Oracle and worked on this project. The people who know me
-from the past know that I am a 100% OpenOffice.org guy and I always
-appreciated to work on this project and together with our community.
-I always felt as part of the overall community. I know the reasons
-that were responsible for the LibreOffice fork and the split of the
-community and I have to confess that I can understand it. But I
-didn't like how it was done. If Oracle would have done this step 6
-month earlier I am sure we wouldn't have this fork and we wouldn't
-have this split of the community. We would potentially still have the
-go-oo fork which was the foundation for LibreOffice but that is
-something different. Anyway it is as it is at the moment and we will see
-how it moves forward in the future. <br /><br />The grant to Apache was
-at least the appropriate signal that OpenOffice.org as a project will
-never die. The brand is too big and too important, the opportunities
-around the product and the overall eco-system are great and I am very
-sure that the project will continue and will be hopefully shining
-brighter than before. <br /><br />But a lot of work was and still is in
-front of us. We had to deal with a lot of things in parallel where
-other derivative projects didn't had to deal with at least not in public. We had to migrate the whole OpenOffice.org infra-structure to
-Apache and had to ensure that it worked. I think we were very
-successful here and have migrated nearly everything we need from a
-technical perspective.</p>
- <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Our mission was to migrate as much as
-possible of the available stuff on <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">www.openoffice.org</a>
-and at least save it for later use. I think we did it! Thanks to all
-who made this possible. And we can concentrate in the future on some
-structural and conceptual redesign of the main portal page
-<a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">www.openoffice.org</a> to
-provide the information to our users that they need to find the
-product, to find more information like help, discussion forums, and to
-find the way in the community if they want to do more etc. <br /><br />We
-couldn't simply use the code as it was and could continue with the
-development as in the past because of the different license. A huge
-challenge that is still ongoing and where I had many problems at
-the beginning. It is not easy to explain why you remove something and
-replace it with something new that provide the same functionality but
-is under a more appropriate license. It's simply boring work and no
-developer really likes it. But is a prerequisite for Apache and in the
-end it is better for our eco system because the Apache license is
-much friendlier for business usage as any other open source license.
-As an individual developer I don't care too much about all the
-different open source licenses, as long as the work I do is good for
-the project and in the end for our users. But I learned that the
-Apache license can be a door opener for more contributors and more
-engagement of companies. I think that is important and I am confident
-that it will help to drive our project forward. <br /><br />And not
-everything is bad. With the IP cleanup we really cleaned up many
-things and Armin's replacement for the svg import/export is the best
-solution we ever had for OpenOffice and with the biggest potential
-for further improvements. All this is really motivating for the
-future! <br /><br />Well we had a lot of noise and communication problems
-on our mailing lists and I think we missed transmitting the message
-that OpenOffice.org has found a new home under the Apache foundation
-and we have missed communicating the progress we have made in the
-pubic. <i>We can do much better in the future!</i> And I am looking forward
-to working with all of you on this communication part in the future. We
-don't have to be shy, we work on a great project with a great product
-and we should have enough to communicate and to share in the public
-(not only on our mailing list but on all the modern and very useful
-media like Facebook, Google+, twitter, ...) <br /><br />For the next
-year I expect that we find our way to guide and control our project a
-little bit better. I expect our first release early next year and
-hopefully a second one later in the year where we can show that we are
-able to drive the project forward and that we are able to create and
-establish a vibrant and living community. <br /><br />I wish that we can
-gain trust in the project and in the Apache way and that it is a good
-move forward. Our users simply want the best free, open source office
-productivity suite and they don't care about the different licenses.
-Enterprise users would like to see a huge and working community with
-the participation of a lot of different companies or at least their
-employees working on the project. We all know that such a huge and
-successful project can only work if we have individual community
-members as well as full-time community members. Important is the <b>WE</b>
-and the <b>TOGETHER</b> that makes open source projects successful.
-<br /><br />I heart voices and read emails where people said that Apache
-is not able to manage such a huge end user oriented project with all
-the necessary things. A strong statement, isn't it. At the beginning I have to confess that I also had doubts and wasn't sure. But as I
-have mentioned in an earlier post on our mailing list, I have seen and got
-the necessary signals over time that Apache is willing to listen and
-is open for changes as well if they make sense for the overall
-success of our project and if these changes are aligned with the
-overall Apache principles. And I think that is fair enough for all.
-<br /><br />The move to Apache is a big challenge for all of us. Apache
-had many very successful projects but none of these projects has
-such a huge end-user focus like OpenOffice. And of course OpenOffice
-is no small or new project. No it is one of biggest and most
-successful open source projects ever. And the migration was and is
-not easy. But we the community can do it, we as individuals,
-everybody can help and we together will do it! <br /><br />And the Apache
-way and the Apache license have proven in the past and with many
-successful projects that it is a good way and a good license to
-achieve this.
-</p>
- <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">For our users I wish that press people
-will do a better job in the future to research facts and stories
-better or if they prefer to write articles based on first-hand
-information that they contact the Apache OpenOffice project
-directly. We are here and can help with information! That will
-definitely help to avoid further confusion about the future of
-OpenOffice.</p>
- <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Enough from me for now and I hope that I haven't bothered you with my private thoughts. I wish you all a
-happy new year, enjoy these days, take your own break too, load your
-batteries for our next challenge in 2012. <br /><br />Regards <br /><br />Juergen

-<p>If you <a href="http://download.openoffice.org">download Apache OpenOffice 3.4</a>, or <a href="http://www.openoffice.org">browse our website</a>, you will notice that we have a rebranding effort underway. I'd like to offer a few thoughts on what happened, why and what will be coming next.</p>
- <p>When the OpenOffice.org project came to Apache, it started in the <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/">Apache Incubator</a>, where all projects new to Apache start. Here we worked on various tasks to integrate the project into Apache, from licensing, policy, process and cultural perspectives. Previous posts have discussed the <a href="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/an_apache_openoffice_timeline">site migration</a> work and the <a href="https://blogs.apache.o [...]
- <p>Apache projects, under the umbrella of the Apache Software Foundation, share a common website, a common license, and are part of a common larger community of developers and users. To reinforce this, all Apache projects, and their products, use the naming pattern "Apache ___", such as Apache Hadoop, Apache Subversion, Apache POI, etc.</p>
- <p>Possible conforming names that the community discussed and considered included:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Apache Open Office</li>
- <li>Apache OpenOffice</li>
- <li>Apache OpenOffice.org</li>
- <li>Apache ODF Office<br /></li>
- </ul>
- <p> A vote was held, and "Apache OpenOffice" won. A new logo, based on a design by Michael Acevedo, was selected, and that is what you see our website now.</p>

- <p>Updating the website and the code to use this new branding will take some time. The Apache OpenOffice 3.4 release, for example, still has some places where it refers to "OpenOffice.org". We hope to have this rebranding completed in our next major release.</p>
- <p>Note: You will still continue to see references to OpenOffice.org in the context of older release. For version 3.3.0 and earlier it is still proper to refer to them as OpenOffice.org, since they are pre-Apache. But all new work at Apache will use the name Apache OpenOffice.<br /></p>

- <p align="left">Cut-over of the Community Forums completed on Friday morning, October 28. There were few disruptions during Internet propagation of the new hosting-site location. The migrated site is now accessed by the original web addresses. A staging server holding the necessary software was tested using backups of the data from the Oracle-hosted Forum services. Staging preparations started in July. It was the first-ever introduction of a Forum system a [...]
- <p align="left">Adjustments will continue. There will be alignment with remaining migrations of OpenOffice.org web properties. There will be further integration into the Apache OpenOffice.org podling operation. Throughout remodeling, the Forums will be alive and well.</p>

- <h4 align="left"><em>Always open, browsing welcome</em></h4>
- <p align="left">Visiting any of the <a title="Link to the list of different-language Forum entries" href="http://user.services.openoffice.org/">Forum entry pages</a> and exploring any topic of interest reveals characteristic Forum features:</p>

- <h4 align="left"><em>Supporting global community</em></h4>
- <p align="left">The forums were originated by a group of independent volunteers. The entire content of the Forums is created and curated by individual users and volunteers. With migration, the volunteer structure is supplemented by arrangements for oversight as required by policies concerning properties in ASF custodianship.

Volunteers review Forum activity, point out where moderation is required, and participate in privacy-sensitive discussions about Forum operation. More-experienced volunteer Moderators intervene where appropriate to provide special assistance or curate threads and subscriptions.</p>
- <p align="left">The OpenOffice.org Community Forums are one way that the Web connects users of OpenOffice.org-related products.

-<p>The OpenOffice official debut at <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu">ApacheCon</a> was definitely successful, with the big Apache community providing a warm welcome to the Apache OpenOffice folks. All presentations are being recorded (audio and slides) and they will gradually be made available on the <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu">ApacheCon site</a>, but we are picking a few topics from Day 1 of the OpenOffice track for those who couldn't attend the conference.</p>
-
-<p><em>For full coverage, see the reports from <a href="http://s.apache.org/openoffice-aceu2012-day-2">Day 2</a> and <a href="http://s.apache.org/openoffice-aceu2012-day-3">Day 3</a>.</em></p>

- <h3>Status and future of Apache OpenOffice and its ecosystem</h3>
- <p>What's coming in Apache OpenOffice 4.0? And when? And, in general, what does the future of the product and the project look like? What happened during the latest 16 months and what is the current status? You can get the answers from Andrea's presentation below, "OpenOffice at Apache"; it is divided into two parts, the first one taken from a "personal" perspective, the second one from a "broader" one.</p>
- <div align="center">

- <p>Two presentations described in detail specific significant technical improvements coming to OpenOffice in 2013:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Andre Fischer presented <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/schedule/presentation/52/">the ongoing accessibility work</a>, that will already be integrated in OpenOffice 4.0. Enhanced support for IAccessible2 will make Apache OpenOffice a world-class application as far as accessibility is concerned. It will also include support for the main screen readers on Windows: JAWS and ZoomText and will simplify government adoption of Apache OpenOffice by complying with <a href="http://www.sec [...]
- <li>Armin LeGrand presented his impressive work (ongoing for 2.5 years, with an estimated 6 months remaining) on <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/schedule/presentation/51/">migrating the OpenOffice DrawingLayer</a>, one of the central components in Apache OpenOffice, used for the internal rendering of graphic objects in all the applications, to a more modern code. The huge development can be followed in <a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/branches/alg/aw080/">branch a [...]
- </ul>
- <p>The presentations about Apache OpenOffice were complemented by a review of the status and possible future ideas for two fundamental components of the Apache OpenOffice ecosystem: the <a href="http://extensions.openoffice.org">Extensions</a> and <a href="http://templates.openoffice.org">Templates</a> websites. The presentation, by Roberto Galoppini (who could not attend due to food poisoning, unfortunately, and was replaced by Andrea Pescetti) can be found on <a href="http://robertog [...]
- <h3>ODF sessions</h3>
- <p>Besides Apache OpenOffice as a product and as a project, another important topic in the Apache OpenOffice track is the <a href="https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office">ODF format</a>. An interesting panel discussion about the current status of ODF and future improvements was moderated by Svante Schubert and Oliver-Rainer Wittman. Among the new features coming in future ODF versions, we discussed in detail the <a href="http://www.apachecon.eu/schedule/pres [...]
- <h3>Community and fun</h3>
- <p>The ApacheCon offered opportunities for some social activities too. Old project volunteers could meet the recent community members in person for the first time. Community activities ranged from a constructive session about building and maturing the community (moderated by imacat and Andrew Rist, with outcomes to appear on the <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/mailing-lists.html#development-mailing-list">dev mailing list</a> soon) to moments of crazy geeky fun with i [...]

-title: Porting Apache OpenOffice (incubating) to Solaris, an interview with Nicolas Christener of Adfinis SyGroup
-layout: post
-date: '2012-06-18T01:24:10+00:00'
-permalink: porting_apache_openoffice_to_solaris
-
-<div align="center">
- <p><img src="http://www.robweir.com/solaris.jpg" /></p>
- </div>
- <p> </p>
- <p>The Swiss company Adfinis SyGroup is active in the <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/">Apache OpenOffice project</a>, contributing the Solaris build, as well hosting an <a href="http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/source/">OpenGrok index</a> of the OpenOffice source code. The following interview was conducted via email between PMC member Rob Weir (R) and Nicolas Christener of Adfinis SyGroup (N).</p>
- <p>(Apache OpenOffice is currently undergoing
- Incubation at the Apache Software Foundation.)</p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>R: <i>Please tell our readers a little about yourself and Adfinis SyGroup</i>.</p>
- <p>N:<a href="http://adfinis-sygroup.ch/"> Adfinis SyGroup AG</a> was founded a few months ago as a result of the merge of the two companies (Adfinis and SyGroup). We have two offices in Switzerland (one in Berne and one in Basel) and around 35 employees whereof most of them are engineers.</p>
- <p>We strongly focus on services around OpenSource technologies and have two departments. The system engineering team builds and operates server and services built on Linux/Unix and the software team develops/customizes applications based on OpenSource.</p>
- <p>Currently we have five people involved in our work on Apache OpenOffice: David, Denis, Hans, Nicolas and Matthias.<br /> <br />
-(In the above photograph, from left to right are: Nicolas, Denis, Hans, Matthias, Dave)</p>
- <p>R: <i>What got you interested in Apache OpenOffice? Were you involved at all in OpenOffice.org previously?</i></p>
- <p>N: I started to build OpenOffice.org packages for the Paldo Linux distribution a few years ago and acquired a decent knowledge about the needed steps to get a proper OOo build. This involvement enabled us to make contacts in the OpenOffice community in Switzerland and concluded our first contracts for OOo consulting and engineering. Oracle's end-of-support for OOo enabled us to step in and provide services and support for other customers as well.</p>
- <p>R: <i>Describe some of the technical work you did to get a successful Solaris port of Apache OpenOffice 3.4?</i></p>
- <p>N: As the previous builds on Solaris were mostly done by Sun and Oracle the information about this topic were quite sparse. For example, we did not know the exact compiler which was used, we didn't know what flavor of Solaris was used, and it seemed that the people who knew those things disappeared.</p>
- <p>We decided to start with the latest OOo version, which was released on Solaris, because we knew that this one is buildable on Solaris. With the knowledge we gained during this process, we took a stab at the development version of AOO 3.4 and got a working build quite fast, which was very motivating. Most of the build breakers could be solved by patching the build system (only one modification in the code).</p>
- <p>As one of our customers uses 3rd-party binary extensions we were concerned to maintain <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_binary_interface">ABI</a> compatibility - therefore we used the SolarisStudio compilers for our work. After we delivered a first build to our customer, they reported two major bugs which we had to fix in order to make a deployment on their system possible. It took us some time to find proper solutions for those bugs, but thanks to the great support [...]
- <p>Finding suitable SPARC hardware is a bit of an issue too. Our current machine runs OpenSolaris 2009.06 - we hope to get better hardware soon which would also be capable of running Solaris 11.</p>
- <p>R: <i>What items remain before it is complete?</i></p>
- <p>N: We are currently in the QA phase and wait for a final feedback from our customer. As soon as our customer decides that the build can be used for deployment (>200 workstations, many documents with several hundred or even over thousand pages, Writer is one of the most essential tool in their daily work-flow) we will build AOO 3.4 for all languages and if possible also as Solaris packages (*.pkg).</p>
- <p>We'll make those builds available for free download and try to do this upcoming versions as well. It is important to us that the Solaris SPARC build stays well maintained. Therefore we'd like to have a continuous/nightly build, where developers can check the build logs in order to see whether their latest check-in works on Solaris SPARC. We are working on providing an official build bot for the project.</p>
- <p>R: <i>If someone wants to help test this port, where can they find it?</i></p>
- <p>We upload all our builds to our website:<br /> <a target="_blank" href="http://adfinis-sygroup.ch/aoo-solaris-sparc"></a></p>
- <ul>
- <li><a target="_blank" href="http://adfinis-sygroup.ch/aoo-solaris-sparc">http://adfinis-sygroup.ch/aoo-<wbr />solaris-sparc</a><a target="_blank" href="http://adfinis-sygroup.ch/aoo-solaris-x86"></a></li>
- <li><a target="_blank" href="http://adfinis-sygroup.ch/aoo-solaris-x86">http://adfinis-sygroup.ch/aoo-<wbr />solaris-x86</a><br /></li>
- </ul>
- <p>We are also interested in creating official community builds for AOO and would be glad to talk about such opportunities.</p>
- <p>R: <i>Do you have maybe top three tips for Linux application developers, on things to be careful about, if they want their applications to be more portable?</i></p>
- <p>N: Especially concerning AOO we would like to point out that many large companies/organizations use software in their data-center (i.e., for thin-clients). In such an environment Solaris/SPARC is still a big player and a great many users depend on well-maintained ports. Therefore these deployments/technologies concern all developers and we encourage everyone to keep in mind:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>There are other processors than Intel.</li>
- <li>There are other operating systems than Windows/Linux/OS X.</li>
- <li>There are other tool chains than GNU.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Buildbots are a great help to keep up this awareness.</p>
- <p>Thank you very much for the interview! We would also like to thank Raphael Bircher for his continuous support and the whole community which does a great job in delivering a high quality office productivity suite.</p>

-RAND() is one of those barely noticeable functions that seem to be trivial and a given in modern spreadsheets. The truth behind RAND() and other functions that try to simulate the real world in some way is that they are extremely difficult, and maybe even impossible, to do correctly.<br />Historically OpenOffice Calc used a very naïve random number generation function based on the system's libc. The system libc version is usually very outdated and is only meant to produce very limited re [...]
- <ol>
- <li>A basic implementation in C to generate some initial numbers for testing. The seeding was done with the traditional libc rand() function.</li>
- <li>Adaptation of the code to work inside OpenOffice: this involved selecting carefully the variable types and finding a method to keep the seeds under control. I was careful to avoid an embarrassing condition of generating negative values. I was also lucky to find in OpenOffice an alternative to generate the seeding values without using rand().</li>
- <li>Testing, testing, and more testing … first locally and now at a wider scale.</li>
- </ol>
- <p><br />I have not discarded yet implementing the popular Mersenne Twister algorithm, which is known to be faster, has a longer period and is available in other spreadsheets (and even as an OO extension), however there is a value in variety: the current algorithm fits perfectly the requirements of a spreadsheet like Calc and uses native features to support good random seeding. Alternatives like Mersenne Twister are already available.<br /><br />The really nice thing, of course, is tha [...]
- <p><i>Can you help us testing the new pseudorandom number generator?</i> Even though our aim wasn't to obtain crypto-grade quality in the generated numbers, we take our numeric algorithms very seriously, and we're looking for the best. We encourage anyone who wants to help to put our code through rigorous tests and help us find any problems to write to our <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#development-mailing-list-public">developers mailing list</a>.<br /><br />< [...]

- <p>Apache OpenOffice 4.0 Release Candidate 1 (Build 9702) has been rejected. It was not good enough. Detlef, in our German-language community, first noted the crash two days ago, which was passed on to the developers by Regina. We immediately started further testing to narrow down the problem.</p>
- <p>Samer, in Canada, independently reported the crash a few hours later. We then determined that the crash only occurred on Windows 8 64-bit systems. Rob, in the United States, then worked with Herbert, in Germany, to find out where in the code the problem was. After a few more emails and chats, we had a proposed fix to test. </p>
- <p>As community members in Germany and North America slept, Yuzhen was testing the fix in Beijing. And now, this morning, the fix is confirmed and we've agreed to produce a new Release Candidate. If the new Release Candidate is free of serious issues it will be released next week.<br /></p>
- <p>This is how a global community of volunteers produce quality open source software. There are skills required -- technical and social -- to coordinate a fix like this. But it also requires something much more important: a dedication to quality. We know that OpenOffice is more than just another software tool for our users. It is how you do work, how you write and communicate. If OpenOffice crashes then your productivity crashes. </p>
- <p>For Apache OpenOffice 4.0, over 20 QA volunteers executed 1,221 regression test cases on 5 operating systems. 495 reported issues are resolved in this release, including many bugs reported in earlier releases.<br /></p>
- <p> We hope that you join us in encouraging these priorities. We look forward to presenting you a high-quality OpenOffice 4.0 really soon. Apache OpenOffice 4.0 is quality worth waiting for.</p>
- <p>If you also have a passion for quality and attention to detail, then you might be interested in volunteering on our QA team. You can read more about volunteering with the Apache OpenOffice project on our <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html">Get Involved</a> page. </p>

-
-<p>A quick update on our recent logo survey for Apache OpenOffice 4.0. We called on community members to submit proposals for a new project logo. The response was huge. We received over 40 logo proposals. To narrow down the choices we sought out feedback from users. We created a survey asking users to rate each logo on a 5-point scale, from Strongly Dislike to Strongly Like, as well as give an optional comment on each logo. The survey ran for on [...]

- <p>Samer Mansour, a software developer and an engaged citizen in his
-community in Toronto, aimed for "simple and flat" with his designs, "I had
-an a-ha moment when I
- saw another volunteer's flat logo. I had learned from design experts at
- work that thin font is the trend and is appealing to users, so I
-narrowed it down to put together a wordmark from an Apache licensed font
-that fit the bill." </p><hr />

- <p>Two of the top-scoring logo proposals came from Kevin Grignon, an OpenOffice contributor and a user
-experience designer with over 15 years experience designing user
-interfaces and application graphics. In his submissions,
-Kevin aimed to leverage some aspects of the existing branding, while
-modifying and enhancing other elements. As he explains, "Given the large number of
-graphic assets that would require updating in a refresh, my
-submissions retain familiar and recognizable elements including the orb
-element and logo type layout, which would allow a scaled rollout of the
-new logo. Other elements of the logo submissions were enhanced,
-including the curvature of the document/gulls or the use of a a stylized
- feather, a colour palette which harmonizes well with proposed
-individual product icons, the use of a globe element, and logo type
-colouring which emphasizes the word "open" - which is our
-differentiator." </p><hr />

- <p>Michael Acevedo is a college student studying Aviation technology in Florida, how humans and
-technology interact while the aircraft is in operation and finding ways to
-improve that relationship. He explains his design process as, "I aimed in the design of the new
- AOO 4 logo for something that was simple (hence why I went with a
-non capitalized design for the OpenOffice name) yet being something
-refreshing to reflect the rebirth of Apache OpenOffice. The challenge
-was how to create a logo that could reflect that philosophy yet being
-respectful and familiar to the outgoing Apache OpenOffice logo. Taking
-that into account, my proposed designs offer just
-that, something refreshing and simple, while at the same time staying
-true to the brand and image that has made OpenOffice their default
-office suite for the last 13 years or so."</p>

- <p>You can see the top scoring design above, by Chris Rottensteiner, a webworker and genetic genealogist
- from South Tyrol in the Alps. He supports the free digital
- data flow and open elaboration trough FOSS software. "I'm
- a clean flat style fan and tried to make something
- without glossy or other "modish" elements: the brand
- should speak for itself. For this second and much better
- proposal from me I got inspired by Kevin Grignon and the
- Source Sans Pro font. If the consensus is v4 should
- receive a logo built on the existing version, I would
- be happy to work on possible improvements. P.S.: the
- work was done in Inkscape (SVG), a piece of software I
- love."</p>

- <p> </p>
- <p align="center"><img src="http://survey.openoffice.org/upload/surveys/815178/images/logo-15.png" /> </p>
- <p>This design, and the next one, although they were not top scorers when measured by average score, were the logos that received the most number of "Strongly Like" selections. So they had more enthusiastic support than the other logos. The above design, from Robin Fowler, takes the traditional gulls element of the OpenOffice.org logo and makes them dynamic, while also suggesting the form of an open book. In Robin's words, "My goal for the logo was to t [...]
-kept the sphere similar to the original, adding a border to make it look
- more like an app icon. My initial idea was to take the birds and use
-them to form a book. The first attempts were fairly crude but I got some
- valuable feedback from the mailing list and managed to improve it
-somewhat. The feather was added to resemble the new 'Apache era' of OpenOffice."</p><hr />
- <p> </p>
- <p> </p>
- <p align="center"><img src="http://survey.openoffice.org/upload/surveys/815178/images/logo-4.png" /><br /></p>
- <p>Vasilis Xenofontos, a visionary art
-designer from the small island of Cyprus aimed for a modern and easy
-to remember logo design. "I did this design trying to show that
-OpenOffice will be here forever and that’s why the logo has the infinity circles in it forming the letters AOO. The two colors in
-it symbolize the sea and the sky showing that this software is free
-and all over the world."</p><hr />
- <p> </p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>So what are the next steps in this logo exploration? The designers of the above logos have been invited to review user comments from the survey and based on that feedback submit revised logos. We'll then review the revisions, discuss and pick the new logo. As usual at Apache we try to reach consensus by discussion wherever possible, and only vote if necessary. The above logos already show a good deal of sharing of ideas. The constructive fee [...]
-</p>
- <p>Congratulations, obviously, to the top logos, but thanks go out to all those who contributed logos for consideration, as well as to the 5000 users who took time to rate and comment on these designs.<br /></p>

-permalink: retirement_of_openoffice_org_email
-
-<p>IF YOU HAVE AN OPENOFFCE.ORG EMAIL ADDRESS, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION IN THIS NOTE</p>
- <h3><a name="(Draft)PublicStatementonEmailForwarding-Background"></a>Background</h3>
- <p>As you may have heard, Oracle contributed the OpenOffice.org (OOo)
-code to Apache in June. As part of this move, we will lose access to the
- servers that formally hosted the OpenOffice.org website and various
-other online services associated with the project. Fortunately, the
-Apache OpenOffice project, working with the Apache Infrastructure Team,
-has been able to migrate most of these services to new servers, hosted
-by Apache. This includes critical services like version control,
- downloads, website, wiki, bug tracking, user forums, etc. However, the email
- forwarding service will not be among the services we preserve. The
-OpenOffice.org email forwarder will be terminated effective March 15th,
-2012.</p>
- <h3><a name="(Draft)PublicStatementonEmailForwarding-Howthiswillimpactyou"></a>How this will impact you</h3>
- <p>Starting on March 15th, 2012, emails sent to openoffice.org email
-addresses will stop forwarding. Senders will receive a bounce
-notification pointing them to an OpenOffice website with more
-information on the termination of openoffice.org email forwarding. No
-personal information about you will be shared with anyone. If the
-sender already knows an alternative way to contact you, then they might
-resend their email to an alternative email address, or contact you via
-other means. We cannot control this. Many emails are automated, and there is no human at
-the other end to react to such bounce notices. In those cases you will
-not receive the emails and may not even know that you have missed an
-email. So we recommend that you not rely on senders reacting to the
-bounce notification. Instead you should proactively reach out to correspondents
-to notify them that your email address is changing.</p>
- <h3><a name="(Draft)PublicStatementonEmailForwarding-Whatyoushoulddo"></a>What you should do</h3>
- <p>If you have an openoffice.org email address then you should take the following steps well in advance of March 15th, 2012:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Contact those with whom you have shared your openoffice email
-address and let them know to use a different address to contact you.</li>
- <li>If you have subscribed to mailing lists using your openoffice.org
-address, then unsubscribe from your openoffice.org address and
-resubscribe with another address</li>
- <li>If you have used your openoffice.org address as a registration
-address for an online service, then log in to that account and change
-your address.</li>
- <li>If you list your openoffice.org email address on your webpage or in your profile page, then update that information.<br /></li>
- </ul>
- <p>Some special instructions for OpenOffice-related services:</p>
- <ul>

- <p>It's time to write about new things that happen here in the Apache OpenOffice project.</p>
- <p>At first, we want to let you know about new releases. The first will be the bugfix release 4.1.3 that will tie in directly with the current version. It's already in the cooking pot but needs some tasting and refinement before we will serve it. The next will then be the follow-up release 4.1.4 with further fixes.</p>
- <p>When you now think <i>"hm, only fixed bugs? Nice, but what about more"</i> then please be patient. We are also planning a release afterwards with many more changes, including all new features developed in the last couple of years. As these aren't finally certain - number as well as size - even the version number isn't yet written in stone.</p>
- <p>More news will follow. But this needs further blog posts.

-<p><b><i>Leading Open Source office
-application and personal productivity suite under development as a
-community-led Apache® Project for the past 8 years</i></b></p>
-<p>
-<b>Wakefield,</b>
-<b> MA —14 October 2020—</b>
- The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers,
-stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open Source projects and
-initiatives, announced today the twenty-year anniversary of OpenOffice<sup>®</sup>, the last eight of which as an Apache<sup>®</sup> Top-Level Project.</p><p>"It’s
- inspiring to see so many dedicated people from around the world
-volunteer their time to mentor, contribute code, test issues, moderate
-mailing lists, help on forums, translations, marketing and more to keep
-making this great product better and available for millions of users,"
-said Carl Marcum, Vice President of Apache OpenOffice. "OpenOffice is
-more than just software. It’s a great community that I’m glad to be a
-part of."</p><p>With more than 300 million downloads, Apache OpenOffice
-is used by countless individuals, organizations, and institutions around
- the world who are seeking a reliable, robust, and freely-available Open
- Source office document productivity suite. Apache OpenOffice features
-the following applications for Windows, macOS and Linux:</p><ul><li>"Writer" word processor;</li><li>"Calc" spreadsheet tool;</li><li>"Impress" presentation editor;</li><li>"Draw" vector graphics editor; </li><li>"Math" mathematical formula editor; and </li><li>"Base" database management program. </li></ul><p>Apache
- OpenOffice supports more than 120 languages, 41 of which are officially
- maintained and released by the Project. Apache OpenOffice is the
-productivity suite of choice for governments seeking to meet mandates
-for using ISO/IEC standard Open Document Format (ODF) files.</p><p>Originally
- created as "StarOffice" in 1985 by StarDivision, who was acquired by
-Sun Microsystems in 1999. The project was open-sourced under the name
-"OpenOffice.org", and continued development after Oracle Corporation
-acquired Sun Microsystems in 2010. OpenOffice entered the Apache
-Incubator in 2011 and graduated as an Apache Top-level Project in
-October 2012.</p><p>"At Apache OpenOffice we are very excited about 20
-years of OpenOffice," said Marcus Lange, ASF Member and Apache
-OpenOffice Committer since the project first arrived at the ASF.
-"Countless users, developers and friends have made it possible that we
-can today celebrate this incredible anniversary. Their commitment makes
-me believe that we will see many more years of this great Open Source
-productivity suite."</p><p>"The need and, in fact, the demand, for a
-permissively licensed Open Source office suite, available to the masses
-and not just the privileged few fortunate enough to have the latest
-hardware and software, has never been greater within the last two
-decades," said Jim Jagielski, ASF co-Founder and Apache OpenOffice
-incubating mentor. "Apache OpenOffice exists to provide essential
-functionality, with as few licensing restrictions as possible, to the
-world at large. It is truly a noble mission, and I am honored to be a
-small part of it."</p><p>"As a long-term user, I joined the project in
-2016 to give something back," said Matthias Seidel, Committer and member
- of the Apache OpenOffice Project Management Committee. "After a steep
-learning curve, I am proud to be part of the community that provides
-this great software for the public good and benefits millions
-worldwide."</p><p>Apache OpenOffice is available as a free download to
-all users at 100% no cost, charge, or fees of any kind. OpenOffice
-source code is readily available for anyone who wishes to enhance the
-applications. The Project welcomes contributions back to the project,
-its code, and its community. Those interested in participating with
-Apache OpenOffice can find out more at <a href="https://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html" target="_blank">https://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html</a> .</p><p><b>Availability and Oversight<br></b>As
- with all Apache projects, OpenOffice software is released under the
-Apache License v2.0 and is overseen by a self-selected team of active
-contributors to the project. A Project Management Committee (PMC) guides
- the Project's day-to-day operations, including community development
-and product releases. For project data, documentation, and more

- releases have been made under the auspices of the ASF. The project
-strongly recommends that users download OpenOffice only from the
-official site <a href="https://www.openoffice.org/download/" target="_blank">https://www.openoffice.org/download/</a> to ensure that they receive the original software in the correct and most recent version.</p><p><b>About The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)<br></b>Established

- <div><br /></div>
- <div>
- <p><b>29 April 2014– </b>The Apache OpenOffice project, a Top Level Project (TLP) of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), announced today
-the release of Apache OpenOffice 4.1, now available for free download from <a href="http://www.openoffice.org">http://www.openoffice.org</a>. A highlight of this release is support for the IAccessible2 interface, an open standard for communicating with assistive technologies, enabling more effective use of OpenOffice by persons with visual impairments. Other additions to OpenOffice 4.1 include in-place editing of text fields, interactive crop on
-transformed graphics, text selection annotations, support for 64-bit Mac and translations for six new languages.<a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1+Release+Notes"></a></p>
- <p>Apache OpenOffice is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. Apache OpenOffice has been downloaded over <a href="https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the_apache_software_foundation_announces56">100 million times</a>. It is available in many languages and works on all common computers. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write fil [...]
- <p>"After a long wait, OpenOffice 4.1 is finally released!" said Marlin Rodrigues from Brazil. Marlin is one of the early testers of OpenOffice 4.1 as well as a translator of the NVDA screen reader into Portuguese. "This release has great significance for blind people, representing much more than a simple application update. This update will bring long-awaited support for IAccessible2. This means that we will finally have a free, accessible and quality off [...]
- <p><a href="http://davidgoldfield.wordpress.com/home/">David Goldfield</a>, a Computer Technology Instructor who works with the blind, and who also helped test OpenOffice 4.1, explained the significance of IAccessible2: "Computer users who are blind use software packages known as screen
-readers, which allow the user not only to hear keys which are typed but
- also to use the keyboard to read and review everything which is on the
- screen. Before OpenOffice 4.1, a blind user could use OpenOffice only if the
-Java Access bridge was installed and enabled. In addition, the user had
- to navigate to OpenOffice's accessibility options to ensure that the
-built-in assistive technology support was enabled. For some users,
-performing these tasks was a challenge. With the new IAccessible2 code, OpenOffice should be accessible to screen readers right out-of-the-box, right when the program starts. Blind users with a screen reader that supports IAccessible2 will be able to
- access documents, spreadsheets as well as items which are in the menus
-and various dialog boxes without the need to manually enable accessibility or
-install any additional components."</p>
- <p>Along with feature additions and enhancements, OpenOffice 4.1 includes six new
-translations, including Bulgarian, Hebrew, Danish, Hindi, Norwegian Bokmål and Thai, as well as improvements to the existing
-Basque, Dutch, German, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Serbian, Spanish and
-Turkish translations. <br /></p>
- <p>These and many other enhancements are detailed in the
- <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1+Release+Notes">Release Notes.</a></p>

- <p>As with all Apache products, Apache OpenOffice is released under
-the Apache License v2.0, and is overseen by a self-selected team of
-active contributors to the project. A Project Management Committee (PMC)

-title: 'The Community Forum: New Year Status'
-layout: post
-date: '2012-01-12T00:00:00+00:00'
-permalink: the_community_forum_new_year
-
-<p>After 4 years of existence, the <a href="http://user.services.openoffice.org/">Community Forum</a> has moved on the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) servers at the end of October 2011 (see <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Changes+integrate+the+forums+into+the+AOOo+project">details</a>).
- Here are some figures about how we are doing on the English forum. We will try to make this kind of report on a monthly basis <a href="http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=46497">in the forum</a> and perhaps quarterly on the blog.<br /> </p>
- <p>Please remember that the forum is managed by a group of users helping other users for free and on their spare time.<br /> <br />
-Some basics:<br /></p>
- <div class="im"><br />
- <ul>
- <li>
-The number of posts, members and topics is taken from the phpBB information bottom of main index page</li>
- <li>Solved topics are counted in all the forums except admin and archives sections (not visible to standard users)</li>
- <li>
-Note that the ratio solved topics vs. total topics is slightly biased
-since the topics in the archives and admin sections are counted (in
-phpBB statistics) but not the solved ones (custom search). However,
-there are less than 550 topics there (in more than a 40,000 grand total,
- so less than 1.5%). These last figures shouldn't change very much since
- the private sections are not very active.</li>
- </ul>
- <p> <br />
-Here it is (since the solved topics is a new metric, there is only one point for the moment).</p>
- <p><img src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/1e1892cd-d3c5-49ca-a520-f0f0c1630bbb" /> </p>
- <p><br /><br />
-The blue line (number of posts) is not that important, it just shows that the trend is consistent with the other metrics. The most interesting statistics are the red lines for the members and
-the topics (with triangles, giving the time when the figures have been
-recorded). Note that the ratio topics vs. members is 0.9 for the English
- forum and above 1.5 for the French and Japanese forums. We tend not to
-be too harsh for the rules on the English section and topics are not
-often split when different users ask questions (still related of course)
- in the same thread.<br /> <br />
-Activity has a slightly higher slope during the first 2 years. It may be
- linked to the building of the knowledge database. Once the main issues
-and common questions have been discussed, users find their answers more
-and more easily with a mere search, hence less topics needed.</p>
- <p><br />
-Neither the release of LibreOffice (Oct 2010), nor the move to the ASF
-servers (Oct 2011) have changed anything for the activity.<br /> <br />
-The decrease in the number of members (end of 2011) is linked to the
-cleaning of banned users. They had just been banned until now but to
-keep only the "real users", their account has been deleted (nearly
-1800). This was the first cleaning ever done from the launch of this
-forum 4 years ago. 1550 of them had been identified as spammers because
-of their post(s). 250 were passive spam (link in signature or interest
-field of the profile, without any post).<br /> <br />
-The ratio of the solved topics is rather good: 14,000 solved (green
-triangle) in 41,000 (red triangles), that makes more than 1 in 3 (all
-users don't bother to tag their topic as solved).<br /> <br />
-For the record, last quarter has been in line with the rest: 2100 new
-users from Oct 1st to end of this year, meaning 1800 new topics.<br />
-As for the spam, we have had 1800 users in 1500 days, it makes 1.21
-spammer a day, still rather low, thanks to the registration process
-(hard to cheat for bots).<br /> <br />
-Last figures: 2011 has shown an increase in the max number of online
-users along the months. Peak reached 232 beginning of October. The
-counter has been reset on Jan 1st 2012 and is already at 214, proving
-the audience is still there.</p>
- <p>Some words about the team. Let's not forget Terry Ellison who was the
-main maintainer of the forum until the move to Apache Software
-Foundation servers. His huge involvement has made it possible for both a
- clean running of the forum during 4 years, making it a great place for
-those needing/providing help, and contributing to the transfer of the
-forum to the ASF servers with a minimal impact for the users.<img class="ajT" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/images/cleardot.gif" /></p>

-title: 'The Sidebar: New And Improved'

-
-<p> Usually the phrase "new <i>and</i> improved" does not make much sense because something either is new <i>or</i> did already exist and was improved upon. For the sidebar the situation is a little different. The core implementation is new but the content, the panels, did already exist. The concept, but not the name, of a sidebar has existed for many years both in Apache OpenOffice (and OpenOffice.org before that) and in IBM Lotus Symphony. In OpenOffic [...]
- <p align="center"><a href="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/e18c8858-4a7d-4e26-bf21-093bf64b3e44"><img width="344" height="217" src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/e18c8858-4a7d-4e26-bf21-093bf64b3e44" alt="Screenshot of Impress with sidebar." /></a><br /> </p>
- <h3>So, what did you improve?</h3>
- <p>The sidebar panels come from three different sources and have been improved in the migration process:<br /> </p>
- <ul>
- <li>The property panels that let you for example change the size of text or the color of shapes have all been migrated from Symphony. In the process we have cleaned up the code, made some improvements and fixed many bugs. While the property panels work really well, their implementation could profit from more cleanup. Removing duplicated code could reduce their code size and their complexity considerably. The one new property panel for inserting shapes into dra [...]
- <li>The Impress panels come from OpenOffice. They allow you for example to control animations of slides and shapes. The new framework of the sidebar made big cleanups of their implementations possible. They are not view shells anymore; they are now regular controls. If you don't know what a view shell is, good for you.</li>
- <li>The third group consists of non-modal dialogs like the Navigator, the Gallery, or the <i>Styles and Formatting</i> dialog. Only small changes were necessary to plug them into the sidebar.<br /></li>
- </ul>
- <h3>And what is new?</h3>
- <p>The core implementation of the sidebar and the framework provided for panel developers is completely new. The sidebar looks similar to the Symphony property panel but shares no code with it. One important new feature is that the sidebar is easily configurable via the, well, configuration. Another one is that extensions can now add new decks and panels that can freely mix with existing decks and panels. More on that later.</p>
- <h2>What exactly is "the sidebar"?
- </h2>
- <p>The sidebar is a window at the right side of the edit view of Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw. It provides access to frequently used tasks when editing documents. The content in the sidebar is organized into decks and panels. Decks are containers of panels, one or more of them. In very few cases there may not yet be a panel available for the current task. You can switch between decks by clicking on buttons in the tab bar at the right side of the sidebar. A menu allo [...]
- <p align="center"><a href="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/0f541205-06c7-4e1b-bf06-31f1a8f008b1"><img width="431" height="362" align="middle" src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/0f541205-06c7-4e1b-bf06-31f1a8f008b1" alt="The different parts of the sidebar" /></a></p>
- <h2>Why do you call it sidebar and not...?</h2>
- <p>The Symphony name "property
-panel" did not work for us because the sidebar contains more than just
-information about document properties.<br /></p>
- <p>The OpenOffice.org name
- "task pane" came from the never realized idea of making OpenOffice.org
-more task oriented. For example for the creation of form letters this
-could have been an adapted version of the mail merge wizard that would
-have displayed the general workflow and given access to templates,
-address books and so on. This idea proved to be too difficult to
-realize.<br /><br />The name "sidebar" is generic enough to host very
-different content such as document properties, clip art, navigator or
-third party extensions. At the same time it is descriptive enough to be
- remembered easily. Should you ever turn off the sidebar by accident
-then you will have no problem finding the menu entry for the "bar" at
-the "side" of the edit view and turn it back on.<br /></p>
- <h2>Why add the sidebar now, why at all?</h2>Up to now, we, the OpenOffice community (developers, UXers, testers), were busy getting the project going at our new home in the Apache community. After that came two releases and then graduation.<br />
- <p><br />Only after that did we finally have the time to tackle the major task of combining the sidebars of OpenOffice and Symphony.<br /><br />Many users have asked us in the past to add a Symphony-like sidebar to OpenOffice. The feedback in the Apache community regarding the sidebar in the coming release is very positive. Even downstream has started to integrate our implementation. Some of the benefits of the sidebar are:<br /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <ul>
- <li>As in toolbars you have the most important functions for the current task available on a single click. Unlike the toolbars it does that in a single place while some toolbars are docked above the edit view, some are docked below, and still others are displayed floating in front of it.</li>
- <li>The position on the right side takes advantage of the form factor of most modern screens that have much more space in the horizontal direction than in the vertical.</li>
- <li>The sidebar provides more space to its panels than the tool bar areas provide to tool bars. Therefore panels can display more information better.</li>
- <li>The sidebar has a constant size (unless you decide to change that size). Context changes lead to different panels being displayed but do not change the size of the sidebar or the edit view. Dock a context sensitive tool bar and you will know how annoying such size changes can be.<br /></li>
- </ul>
- <h2>What about extensions?</h2>
- <p> </p>
- <p>A little known feature of OpenOffice is that extensions can provide panels for the task panel (now called sidebar). These extensions are still supported. But now there is a better way to do this.<br /><br />You can add a panel that is implemented in any language supported by the UNO API and display this panel in a deck of your choice or even in the properties panel. The panel can react to context changes such as different selections. But it does not have to.& [...]
- <p>Here is an example: an extension adds a deck (see the clock icon in the tab bar) and a panel that shows the current time.<br /></p>
- <p align="center"><a href="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/6e289a7f-8ee2-46bd-9981-31f0c127e942"><img width="119" height="223" align="middle" alt="Clock added to sidebar by extension." src="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/6e289a7f-8ee2-46bd-9981-31f0c127e942" /></a><br /></p>
- <h2>We need your input</h2>The toolbars and dialogs such as gallery and navigator are not yet scheduled to be disabled by default or even to be removed. Not because we don't think that the sidebar works. It does.<br />
- <p>The reason for keeping these established user interface elements is to let you become familiar with the sidebar in your own time. We hope that you will use the toolbars and dialogs less and less.<br /></p>

- <p>We take a lot of pride in the success of Apache OpenOffice (formerly OpenOffice.org, now undergoing <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/">incubation</a> at Apache). With over 100 million downloads, and a million more downloads every week, our award-winning, free and open office suite has grown and continues to grow in popularity. But this is not just a popularity contest. An enormous amount of public good comes from our work. We serve users that for-profit vendors [...]
- <p>The visible OpenOffice application, and its user-centered ecosystem, gets most of the public notice. This is natural for a product that is used by consumers, in a market of over one billion potential users. But behind the product that consumers see is a product that in many ways is even more important. This is the source code, the computer instructions that put "source" into "open source".</p>
- <p>The Apache OpenOffice source code consists of around 7 million lines of code. It is daunting at first, even for experienced programmers. But within this source code lies everything that OpenOffice does today, as well as the seeds of its enormous future potential. </p>
- <p>The community and extended ecosystem around this source code consists of:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Programmers who work directly in the Apache OpenOffice project, doing their primary coding for the project.</li>
- <li>Developers who take the source code from our releases, or our version control system (where we store the code) and make their own products. Sometimes these are ports to <a href="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/porting_apache_openoffice_to_solaris">other operating platforms</a>. In other cases they are repackaged versions,<a href="http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.1341"> optimized for specific install scenarios</a> or <a href="https://www.rollapp.com/ap [...]
- <li>Developers of extensions. Like Apache HTTP Server and their <a href="https://modules.apache.org/">modules</a>,
-OpenOffice has a powerful extensibility mechanism. Many
-developers can accomplish their tasks without making modifications to
-the core product. Our <a href="http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/">Extensions</a> website features many 3rd party extensions.<br /> </li>
- <li>OpenOffice also supports end-user programming via templates and macro. Our <a href="http://templates.services.openoffice.org/">Templates</a> and <a href="http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/">Extensions</a> websites feature this user-contributed content. <br /></li>
- </ul>
- <p>So yes, OpenOffice is free. You can download it and use it without charge. You can make copies and give them to your friends. As many copies as you want. But what makes OpenOffice truly open source is that it comes with the source code, which anyone can also download, modify freely and redistribute.
-</p>
- <p>Programmers interested in working with the source code to Apache OpenOffice will find <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/source.html">useful information</a> on our website.<br /></p>

- <h3> What am I looking at?<br /></h3>
- <p>The above image illustrates the social network of posts and responses to the Apache OpenOffice project's main development mailing list, from when it started in May 2011 until the end of March 2013 when this data was collected. (Click on the image to view a larger version) <br /></p>
- <p>Each circle represents a person posting to the mailing list. The arcs represent responses to posts, i.e., they are drawn from the person posting to the person to whose post they are replying. The weight of each line is proportionate to the number of times person X responded to person Y. So darker lines portray more frequent communication pathways. The size of each circle is proportionate to the poster's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betweenness#Eigenv [...]
- <p>Overall the graph has 1077 nodes (persons) and 8181 arcs (response emails). On average each person responded to 7.6 other persons, and made 27.1 total responses. </p>
- <p>Now some interpretation. This is not the the "hub and spokes" or tree pattern of a
-command/control or hierarchical organization, but a complex organism,
-with project participants contributing at various levels of engagement. The larger circles in the center, connected with many and darker lines, are the core project participants (at least on the development list). The very small circles at the periphery of the graph are those who posted a single question, received a response were never heard of again. They typically received one or two response posts, but did not really engage further. And in the middle we see additiona [...]
- <p>It is difficult to ascribe too much meaning to these email response patterns. Some mailing lists have been the topic of research before. In Q&A forums, where nearly 100% of the initial posts are questions, and responses are all answers, it is interesting to look at the response patterns as an indication of expertise. See <a href="http://wwwconference.org/www2008/papers/pdf/p665-adamic.pdf">Adamic, et al.</a>, for a good example. We might apply a similar a [...]
- <h3>How I made the graph<br /></h3>
- <p><br /></p>
- <p> </p>
- <ol>
- <li>I started with the <a href="http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-dev/">list archives</a>, downloaded the mbox files extracted the response graph to a text file, with a custom python script, using the python "mailbox" package.</li>
- <li>Then I manually cleaned up the data, coalescing multiple mail accounts used by some members.</li>
- <li>I used the open source graph visualization package "<a href="https://gephi.org/">Gephi</a>" to process the data and draw the graph (layout via the <a href="http://wiki.gephi.org/index.php/Fruchterman-Reingold">Fruchterman-Reingold</a> algorithm) and export it to a PNG file.<br /></li>

- <h1><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"></font></h1><hr />
- <p>The Apache OpenOffice.org project is currently in the incubation phase. We're a 'podling'. It's where all new Apache projects begin, regardless of
-how mature your source code base is. In this post I'll attempt to explain a bit about incubation, and a bit about the 'Apache Way', and our current effort to meet the requirements for 3rd party code review and clearance. In future posts, I'll attempt to tackle other aspects of the project. If we all have a better understanding of how the work is becoming organized, those of you interested to volunteer will have a better idea of where to start, and those who are interested to follow our p [...]
- <p>First off, a podling is not from
-'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' – a human being wrapped up to look
-like a large vegetable, or furry cute puppets from the Dark Crystal
-Cave of Jim Henson's imagination. It's the term we use here at
-Apache to describe the first phase of a prospective project; a podling is a
-project that is 'incubating'. Egg,
-podling, new thing with promise needing special care and attention. I
-think you get the idea.</p>
- <p>It's that special care and attention
-part that is consuming the efforts of the PPMC or "Podling Project
-Management Committee" at the moment. If we are going to hatch, 'graduate' to a TLP or "Top Level Project" in Apache-speak, we are required to meet certain criteria evolved out of deep experience accumulated through Apache's 12 year history and its involvement with many other successful projects.</p>
- <p>Apache defines a podling as “A
-codebase and its community while in the process of being incubated.”
-You can find the details on the complete <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html" title="Apache Incubation Policy">Apache Incubation Policy</a> here.</p>
- <p>OK, so we have the code base, thanks to
-Oracle's decision, and we have a community signed in to the project
-already, 75 committers and growing. So where are we with the process?</p>
- <p>When do podlings hatch, and become
-Apache TLP or Top Level Projects?</p>
- <p>The abbreviated answer requires the
-podling to:</p>
- <p> </p>
- <ul>
- <li>Deliver an official Apache release</li>
- <li>Demonstrate you have successfully
- created an open and diverse community</li>
- <li>Follow the 'Apache Way' through
- the process, documenting status, conducting ballots, maintaining a
- fully open and transparent process, etc.</li>
- </ul>
- <p> </p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>OpenOffice is a very large chunk of
-code, many millions of lines of code. The PPMC has now successfully
-migrated all the source files into the Apache infrastructure nestled
-into its new nest within the Apache Subversion repository
-environment. We've run a build test on Linux and we know we've got
-the code we need to begin to build a release.
-</p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>But wait, before we can meet the requirement of producing an official release, Apache requires that we conduct a thorough <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/index.html" title="IP or Intellectual Property review and clearance process.">IP or Intellectual Property review and clearance process</a>. This means that the resulting Apache
-release may be licensed under the Apache License 2. It requires
-that all...</p>
- <blockquote style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 40px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; " class="webkit-indent-blockquote">
- <p>“incoming code
-is fully signed off before any release. This simply reinforces the
-Apache requirements: all code must have appropriate licenses....The
-process of preparing an <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#rules" title="Apache release">Apache release</a> should include an audit of the code to
-ensure that all files have appropriate headers and that all
-dependencies complies with Apache policy.</p>
- </blockquote>
- <p>This means that the resulting Apache
-OpenOffice release(s) will provide the maximum opportunity for the
-development of a broader spectrum of OpenOffice derivatives than we
-see today. The OpenOffice of the past, will look very different in
-the future as more developers become familiar with the code, and see
-new opportunities not previously available. <span style="font-family: arial, verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; "> </span></p>
- <p>Right now, our
-immediate task is to resolve the licensing incompatibilities for 3<sup>rd</sup>
-party code modules used by OpenOffice. Since Oracle did not possess
-the copyright for these modules, they were not included in the original Oracle Software Grant Agreement, and therefore we are working to either
-deprecate, or find a replacement that may be used either as a binary
-file or an alternative source file that fills the function needed.
-We're confident that the process will be concluded in the next weeks,
-but it is detail-oriented work, and must be done thoroughly and
-correctly in order to clear the path for an official podling release
-of Apache OpenOffice.</p>
- <p>Before we can produce an Apache release, we must complete the code clearance step, ensuring that the license headers include License and Notification files for all
-artifacts in the build be done to the satisfaction of the PPMC
-and the Incubator PMC which governs the Apache OpenOffice podling. This will clear the way forward to develop a realistic target date for issuing our first 'Apache OpenOffice.org' release </p>
- <p>In future posts, I'll sketch out
-how the project is being organized, mapping out the areas that offer
-interesting and exciting opportunities needing new volunteers to step
-up and take on. </p>

- <p>I'm always impressed by the enthusiasm of OpenOffice users to try out the next great release. A frequent question is, "When will it be released?" I see this question on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ApacheOO">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/apacheoo">Twitter</a>, the <a href="http://forum.openoffice.org/">Forums</a> and <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#using-mailing-lists">mailing lists</a>. "When will [...]
- <p>It is tempting to give the response, "It will be released when it is ready". But that sounds a bit snarky, although it is accurate. But the truth is software engineering schedule estimation is notoriously difficult and predicting a specific date is a sure way of looking foolish later on.<br /></p>
- <p>There is a well-known diagram in the software industry of a triangle, with the sides labeled: "good", "cheap", "fast" and with the title, "Pick any Two". This expresses the ever-present trade-off between quality, cost and schedule. </p>
- <p>In commercial software development arbitrary dates can (sometimes) be met, by dropping quality (or features) or by adding resources to tasks (increasing costs). To some extent open source projects can also try to hit arbitrary dates by dropping quality. But unlike commercial endeavors open source projects don't have the same ability to add resources to recover a schedule slip. On the Apache OpenOffice project we are mainly volunteers, dedicating free time to the pr [...]
- <p>OpenOffice is a mature product and users expect it to just work. They are not looking for surprises. Users want to spend time doing their task, their

-having a stable, familiar tool that gets the job done is golden. There
-is little pleasure in getting a new hammer and screwdriver every month, with
-new bugs, except for the small minority of technologists who relish the challenge and risk of frequent updates. The rest of us have real work to do and don't want to worry about whether the feature that worked last week still works today.<br /></p>
- <p>So generally, we've been aiming for two high-quality release of Apache OpenOffice per year, with a cycle that looks approximately like this: <br /></p>
- <ul>
- <li>Brainstorm and discuss possible features. Even before version N is released we're discussing what will be included in version N+1. This includes specific new features, enhancements, new languages, bug fixes, etc. Much of this is tracked in our Bugzilla issue tracker (for bugs and enhancements) and on our mailing lists and wikis (for major features). The contents of the release are determined by the volunteers who do the work, based on their interests and m [...]
- <li>Development of the new features occurs, the coding often occurring in "branches" which are segregated areas in our Subversion version control system which help the developers to not step on each other's toes when stabilizing their code.</li>
- <li>As features are completed they are "merged into the trunk". We regularly build install sets from the trunk, so project participants can try the new features as soon as they are ready and give feedback.</li>
- <li>Once all the feature work is done for a release, we translate and test. <br /></li>
- <li>We iterate on testing and fixing bugs until we've eliminated all "release blocking" bugs and have something of sufficient quality to call a Release Candidate. We then vote on the Release Candidate, and if approved it becomes the new release.</li>
- </ul>So rather than asking about dates, the smart question is to ask, "Where in the release cycle are you now?". In the case of Apache OpenOffice 4.0, we're on that last step, finishing the translation and test work. How long that step will last will depend on how many bugs are found, how many of them are release blockers, and how long it takes to fix them. These are things that are not easy to predict. Again, it comes down to the old saying: good, che [...]
