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>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>Open source software is software that is made available to the public at no charge, free to use and copy. Those who know how to program can even freely modify the software if they want. <a href="http://www.apache.org/">The Apache Software Foundation</a> is a non-profit organization whose charitable mission is to publish open source software for the public to use. That's what we do. One program that we publish that is especially useful to students is <a [...]
- <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>

+ <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>Open source software is software that is made available to the public at no charge, free to use and copy. Those who know how to program can even freely modify the software if they want. <a href="http://www.apache.org/">The Apache Software Foundation</a> is a non-profit organization whose charitable mission is to publish open source software for the public to use. That's what we do. One program that we publish that is especially useful to students is <a [...]
+ <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>

-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>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.

- <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>

- <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.

- <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>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>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.

+ <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>

- <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>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>.

- <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 [...]

- <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.

- <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>

+ <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>
