Re: Brochure templates -- Community templates -- new versions

Marc Paré — 2013-05-10T14:59:28

Just a quick update on the Marketing team brochure-types push.

There are now "workspace wiki pages" for each brochure-types that we 
will work on. You can find these on the brochure wiki page where the 
types as well as their links to the workspace may be found.[1]

The design of the "community brochure template" has been tweaked by 
Mattias (member of the design team). The white logo is better centered 
and the bottom green bar has now been put in the frame and locked into 
place. This will make it easier to use when inputting text.

You may download the new Community template version A4 and USLtr version 
on the wiki. The links to the new version may be found on the wiki 
brochure-types page[1]

Feel free to join us on the marketing list if you wish to contribute to 
the writing of any of the brochure-types on the list.

of the brochure-types by discussing it with your nl marketing teams and

TDF/LibreOffice Brochure Workspace wiki page

Marc Paré — 2013-05-06T17:27:43

I have created a "TDF/LibreOffice Brochure Workspace" wiki page[1]. We 
can use it to track the work done on the content and text of the 
different brochure types as we complete them.

Feel free to add any more types should you think we are missing any.

I have also added the NL (native language) navigation bar. Feel free to 
get you own teams working on any of the text and you can help us out by 
submitting your version of text on the Marketing list for 
translation/localization in EN OR discuss any of the brochure-types with 
your nl marketing teams and have someone from your nl marketing team 
relay back any suggestions in EN to this list.

Also note that Italo and Charles will have a LARGE say as to what will 
appear in some (if not all) of the brochures.

For those of you who are not familiar with our Marketing Team structure, 
Italo and Charles are our lead marketing team members -- they share 
responsibilities for all that is marketing of the project.

The discussions will take place on the Marketing

Brochure templates -- Official and Community (easy on ink) versions

Marc Paré — 2013-05-04T14:53:31

We have completed the template design of the official and community 
brochures. Thanks to all of the people who participated in creating 
these on the design list.

We can now start working on content for these brochures. There is a list 
of "brochure-types" on one of our discussions. If you feel like you are 
able to help out with content for any brochure-type, feel free to start 
a thread to develop the content. We should be able to compose content 
for most of the brochure-types and then offer these to our native 
language teams for them to work on.

We will need to prepare 4 brochures for each brochure-types (1-official 
A4 version; 1-official USLtr version; 1-community A4 version; 
1-community USLtr version).

Have fun participating on the content creation.

[ANN] LibreOffice 4.0.3 RC3 available

Thorsten Behrens — 2013-05-04T12:53:24

Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the third release
candidate of our upcoming LibreOffice 4.0.3. This will be the third in
a series of frequent updates to our feature-packed 4.0 branch. Please
be aware that LibreOffice 4.0.3 RC3 is not ready for production use,
you should continue to use LibreOffice 4.0.2 for that.

The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA
builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A good way to assess the release candidate quality is to run some
specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test

  - or checkout our manual test database for starting right away -

Seeking for list moderators

Florian Effenberger — 2013-05-04T11:30:58

Hello,

at the moment, we are looking for volunteers who could help moderate 
this mailing list.

If you are interested, the only requirement is that you are subscribed 
to the list yourself and read its mails in a somehow timely manner, but 
that's about it.

Moderation means dealing with e-mails that do not automatically make it 
to the list, which you then manually forward, or reject. This happens 
either when an e-mail comes from an unknown sender, e.g. when a project 
member uses a different address for posting. It also occurs when someone 
unexperienced writes to the list, thinking it's a private account, but 
in fact it's a public list.

You'll receive the message to be moderated via e-mail, which you then 
can either "moderate through", or reject.

Is someone interested in joining our efforts? It'd be much appreciated - 
just drop me an email (please also copy me directly, and not only the 
list), then I'm happy to add you to the list of moderators.

Thanks!
Florian

testing IPv6-enabled download site

Florian Effenberger — 2013-04-30T14:49:31

Hello,

as part of the move to a new infrastructure, I've also enabled an 
IPv6-capable download page for testing purposes. As the GeoIP module was 
a bit too old, I had to compile it manually, and that's why I seek your 
assistance. ;-)

Those of you having IPv6 connectivity, can you please go to

http://download-test.documentfoundation.org/TIMESTAMP.mirrorlist

and check if you get the country you're located in as result? It should 
look like

List of best mirrors for IP address 2a01:4f8:190:3144::2, located in 
Germany (DE)

with your IP and country respectively.

In case you get only IPv4 - that's normal, nothing to report, might be 
related to Happy Eyeballs. [1] In case you get IPv6 and the right 
country is shown - no need to report either. ;-)

But in case you have IPv6, and a wrong or unknown country is shown, 
please let me know, so I can investigate. From time to time, this can 
happen with tunnels, especially those from tunnelbroker.net based on my 
experience, but in general, it should be work

server downtime, once again

Florian Effenberger — 2013-04-30T11:54:11

Hello,

you are probably as annoyed as I am by these kind of e-mails, but bilbo 
needs another downtime due to a disk replacement. This time, it's not 
the SSD dying again, but the regular SATA disk. After a few years of 
service, this is rather normal, so

today, 1400 UTC, which is in approximately two hours

our download server and mailing list will have a downtime of hopefully 
only a few minutes for disk replacement.

Sorry for those inconveniences,
Florian

[ANN] global header move on Tuesday 2013-04-23 between 1200UTC and2000UTC

Bjoern Michaelsen — 2013-04-18T20:46:26

Hi,

as discussed on the ESC the global header move script is at:

 https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/3367/3

and worked fine on Linux, and the plan is to execute it on master if it is
building on all platforms and if there is a proper advance warning. This is
that warning. ;)

I rebased the change on master today only to find master not even building from
scratch on Linux because of test failures. Because of that I didnt even try to
set the gerrit buildbot on it, and instead used the last known good state of
master (the one I pushed it the script to gerrit with), executed the move and
scheduled a gerrit build agianst that:

 https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/3465/

That build succeeds on Linux and Windows, but fails again on OSX *sigh* due to
as it seems another unrelated master breakage, preventing me _again_ to check
if this works on all platforms. So this has to be played into the dark
unfortunately.

I plan to execute the global header move on Tuesday, 2013-04-23, hoping that
the weekend changes are m
