It has proven to be very stable and reliable, but there are several improvements we have incorporated already - many of them purerly documentation related (better setup on our systems), but right now, we also face some issues with the packaging, that needs to be improved to run on recent platforms. Plus, we have some wishlist items, like live download statistics, which we want to implement. In a nutshell, I think it makes sense to get a bit deeper involved in MirrorBrain development. We are a large adopter of it, and if we improve it for our use, it makes sense to share that with the general public. Maybe we can join forces with other projects using it as well. I have started a discussion on the MirrorBrain list on that at http://mirrorbrain.org/archive/mirrorbrain/0187.html and would like to follow-up on our website list with details on how to coordinate that TDF-wise. If anyone wants to contribute, feel free to join, of course! Florian </pre> Florian Effenberger 2013-05-15T09:00:09 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.website/11163 <pre>Hello, given I had to compile MirrorBrain myself (and everyone knows about my severe lack of development skills :-) I would like to make a test run on the new server with the new base OS, before I finally make the switch. The plan is that all processes (rsyncing new builds, feeding mirrors etc.) are still done on the old server (bilbo1), from where I sync to the new one (bilbo2), and have the download.documentfoundation.org alias point to bilbo2. We then should see if the new setup performs as well as the old one, and with a TTL of 5 minutes, we can easily switch back to bilbo1 when needed. The only valueable data, however, is log files. I therefore did some quick test downloads and would like to ask Norbert and Kendy to see if their current parsers can still parse the log files in their new form. Here's an extract: http://pastebin.com/kCM9G70P Kendy, Norbert, can one of you confirm your parser still works, so we don't run into troubles (losing data) when I switch on the new machine? The above log is a mixture of IPv4 and IPv6, different clients, operating systems, and files/directories requested. Thanks a lot, Florian </pre> Florian Effenberger 2013-05-15T08:48:42 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.website/11161 <pre>https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64585 Priority: medium Bug ID: 64585 CC: website&lt; at &gt;global.libreoffice.org Assignee: libreoffice-bugs&lt; at &gt;lists.freedesktop.org Summary: Remove TUWIEN mirror Severity: critical Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: immanuel.hayden&lt; at &gt;gmail.com Hardware: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Version: unspecified Component: WWW Product: LibreOffice Please remove the gd.tuwien.ac.at mirror, it is slow as hell (I just experienced 13kbps from it and I set essentially next door).

I've seen at least one confused user on the Ask site wondering why they're getting an error message when they try to download 4.0.3 for Windows. (I can repro the problem on my machine) Is there an easy way for us to take a mirror out of the pool temporarily? Ideally there'd be some kind of a reporting tool ("This link is broken!") or system for testing and mirrors (e.g. download a 1K file every hour; remove the mirror if the file doesn't download properly) Cheers, --R </pre> Robinson Tryon 2013-05-13T20:03:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.website/11139 <pre>Hello, unfortunately, all of a sudden, the MirrorBrain packages for Ubuntu 11.04 have vanished from the OpenSUSE build service. Previously, they were located at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Apache:/MirrorBrain/xUbuntu_11.10/ but for a few days, only versions for Debian 6.0 and Ubunut 10.04 are available, both of which are too old for our system (Python 2.6 vs 2.7). Luckily, that happened before we switched the download infrastructure to the new server, and I've already filed a bug at http://mirrorbrain.org/issues/issue122 - but still, I'd be interested if anyone with more knowledge about the OpenSUSE build service can find out whether the package has been removed intentionally, or some error occured. Judging by https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Apache:MirrorBrain it seems it has indeed been removed, and I'd be interested to add it again. As we need the package anyways, I'd even be happy to maintain a Ubuntu 12.04 repo there, if someone can give me a helping hand on where to start. For the moment, any chance of getting a hand on the latest revision of the packages as they were hosted? That'd spare me some time... I wasn't able to find them on http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/DISCONTINUED:/ Thanks, Florian </pre> Florian Effenberger 2013-05-13T13:44:28 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.website/11126 <pre>Hello, this summer, we plan again for an admin meeting in Linuxhotel Essen. It is primarily intended as working weekend for those already part of our infrastructure team, but we'd like to take a chance to also invite those who are new and interested to join this area of the project. For a part of the meeting, we also plan to have a phone conference or Google Hangout, to get remote participants involved. The poll for date is available at http://moreganize.ch/bmxeKXZL7Ju Rough translation: Only the respective Saturdays are shown, but the meeting is planned Friday evening to Sunday lunchtime. The ideal weekend would be July 19th to 21st, as for the other dates, I have an event in Munich before and would have to catch the night train to Essen. Looking forward to lots of feedback!

I discovered Flattr recently and wanted to donate to LibreOffice. And I've found some things that need to be fixed and more people will notice your page. 1) Now you have only one page named after TDF. It's good but you can add LibreOffice page as a Thing -- and people will be able to find you via flattr search. 2) The Firefox Flattr plugin highlights the flattrable sites, it's very useful. But it doesn't highlight libreoffice.org, and to fix this, you have to add the URL as a new thing, as I mentioned before. 3) It would be good to name the LO thing page "Official", so people will not be confused. 4) And you can add the logo as an avatar, so the page would be found easily. This simple steps can help many people to find you and make them sure they're about to flattr the right pages.

It seems that there aren't (m)any people who work on these pages. Should we commenting out/deleting all download links on these wiki main pages? I don't know if there are existing new versions for their language. [1] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Main_Page/be [2] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Main_Page/cs [3] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Main_Page/el [4] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Main_Page/th And a special page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Main_Page/lo-la There is no real content in it. I vote to delete the whole page. Better to have no page for this language than to have an empty page for about 3 years. </pre> klaus-jürgen weghorn ol 2013-05-09T21:06:17 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.website/11106 <pre>Hi all, There is 2 categories for templates on the wiki: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Category:Template https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Category:Templates not sure this is intended, but if the second one is dedicated to QA and the BSA, that may be should be indicated somewhere so we don't mix the two and create unnecessary or duplicate templates.

I got an easy way to import the "old" accounts with their password etc. I've set up a test-conference-site for this (and other experiments later). This new site is available at: http://vm5.documentfoundation.org:9094/2013/en If you own an account on the LibreOffice-Conference-2012-Site you could try to login with your credentials on the test-site. I'm happy to get feedback, if it works for you (and not only for me). Regards, Andreas </pre> Andreas Mantke 2013-05-09T11:56:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.website/11099 <pre>Hello, the Plone sites LibreOffice-Extensions-Templates-Site and both conference-sites (2012 and 2013) are running on Plone 4.2.5 now. I run an update via buildout. Everything went smoothly and the sites were back in a few minutes each. I also packed the database of the sites. The database of the LibreOffice-Extensions-Templates-Site got down from about 440 MB to about 140 MB. Regards, Andreas </pre> Andreas Mantke 2013-05-05T19:45:15 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.website/11088 <pre>Hello, because we had a very open policy for our extensions- and templates-websites many people created an account on the two sites. There were a big number of accounts that has never been used so far. We had about more than 6000 accounts on the templates site and worked in a team of three admins to cut them down dramatically. We are working on the extensions site now. We started with about nearly 7000 accounts and are currently at an amount of 5500 accounts. We had to delete the accounts in the interface currently manually because there is no special tool available for this work. We (Uwe, Erich and myself) decided to close the self registration for the sites and provide a form to ask for an account if a contributor wants to host his extension or template on one of the sites. If you want to help improve the form and its text you could find the current version at http://vm5.documentfoundation.org:9095/templateuploadcenter/en (at the bottom of the site there is the link to Hosting your Template).

As part of our mission to foster the project internal communication, I'd like to tell you about our so called projects mailing list, which Sophie initiated quite a while ago, and which should be used for communication amongst the various projects - e.g. design and marketing, development and marketing, UX and development, and the like. The list's intention is not to be a gossip list where everything should be thrown at, but to make all affected projects aware of important changes. Philosophy: Low traffic, but important topics. Some examples are: Change of version numbers, a new slogan, design changes, new products. In other words: Everything that has an impact on other areas of working than the one where the change originally comes from. If one team decides LibreOffice will now be called different, and has a shiny new colour, surely marketing should know in time. Well, a bit of a made up example, but you get the point... ;-) We have seen some unpleasant events in the past, that based on my experience, are mostly due to the lack of communication, or due to miscommunication. To avoid that in the future, I'd like to call out to everyone of you, if you are active in one of the subprojects, to also join this mailing list by sending an empty e-mail to projects+subscribe&lt; at &gt;global.libreoffice.org and following the instructions mailed back. At least one or two representatives from *each* project should join this list, to act as a gateway. I will soon follow up further with some details and topics that have reached me the past weeks, and how we could solve them. Again, sorry for spamming, and have a great weekend! Florian </pre> Florian Effenberger 2013-05-04T13:25:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.website/11080 <pre>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!
