As far as the phrase "is good business" goes, for oracle that means
"generates cash --- lots of it."
 

Oracle has demonstrated that they want to surpass SCO in corporate
stupidity, and deliberate and wilful self-destruction.
 

Because Oracle's inability to grok FLOSS is such, that it will commit
corporate suicide in the name of deliberate and wilful corporate ignorance.
 

Based on Oracle's public statements, and their commitment to their FLOSS
strategy that they have spectacularly demonstrated in the past nine
months, Oracle really thinks that it can own FLOSS, and that it can stop
FLOSS by shutting off community support.

[discuss] Fwd: BIG PROBLEM IN USING OPENOFFICE

Posted: 28 Oct 2010 04:55 AM PDT

Hi,

you're looking for dictionaries ?

Just take a look at the extensions page:

[discuss] UK spelling

Yes.

First, you can download the UK version of OpenOffice,.org
http://download.openoffice.org/other.html

Second, you can set the default language "Tools - Options + Language
Settings - Languages".

Third, you can download and install additional dictionaries. Just open them,
as if they were documents, to install.
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/dictionaries
Warning - there is a recommended maximum of less than 10 to allow OO.o to work
at a good pace.

Fourth, you can set a language during a spell check on a document. This allows
for common French or Spanish words in English usage, or allows for a
multi-lingual country (Canada, USA, New Zealand).
"Tools - Spelling Check"

Lastly you can set language, on a per word/character basis.
* Highlight
* Format - Character", Font Tab

[discuss] OpenOffice is it a community

Posted: 20 Oct 2010 09:54 AM PDT

Their leading position in TDF/LO and OOo might bring them into conflicts
of interest (see below), so it is a valid request to ask them to choose
in which project they want to take a lead. Contributing to LO/TDF is no
problem even for a council member (at the end every contributor to OOo
also contributes to LO as they will use our code as a stone pit ;-)),
but being a *lead* in both project most probably won't fit.

IMHO all people that currently have a lead in both projects should
answer these questions:

(1) If a member of the OOo community asks you, which of the projects
(s)he should support (if time does not permits to support both), what is
your answer?

(2) If users, organizations etc. will ask you, which product they shall
use, what is your answer?

(3) Developers ask you if they shall contribute to LO only or to both
projects, what is your answer? Or moreover, if a developer that
contributed to LO doesn't ask, do you suggest that he should contribute
to OOo also?

If the answer won't be "OOo, OOo, both/yes", I think that it is time to
step back from leading positions in the OOo community, as this would be
the answer that can be expected from a project lead or council member of
OOo. Everything else will create confusion or even frustration in our
community that will hurt it.

Besides that: I'm sure that we will see new elections for the community
council seats. So everything that happens there is only a temporary
constellation.

Regards,
Mathias

Please don't reply to "de".
I use it for the OOo lists and only rarely read other mails sent to it.

Welcome Chris.

I would describe the traffic on both the above lists as moderate, seldom
exceeding 100 emails a day. I only need to add to Barbaras' post that more
info is available here and here:

Hi Simon,

When you are that optimistic, it looks as if you have very little idea
of what really happened last years. (And this writes me, who is not
giving up easily ..)
But then again: the foundation is started from the very ground that a
level playing field will yield best result with mutual interest. Well,
you know why it is important.
As written: not all will be in perfect place right from the start, so I
am with you that we need to be patient.

Kind Regards,
Cor

[discuss] Oracle [NOT!] dropping OO.org

Hi Christian,

I wonder why you (without a need) exclude the more interesting
new/unconfirmed/started/reopened patch issues - some of them with
nice 4-digit issue numbers:

http://is.gd/g7jW5

And then of course there's the code submitted elsewhere, e.g. via
cws - so limiting this question to a (subset of) patch issues looks
incorrect to me.

Then again, I *also* think (completely unscientifically), that most
of the code submitted to Sun under SCA/JCA has by now been
integrated in some way or another. So let's move on, to more
contentious topics (hint: there are a few alluded to, above). ;)

Cheers,
