I mentioned free software back when there wasn't much of it
out there. My office mate, who is an ultimate pessimist,
sarcastically suggested that you get what you pay for. My
experience since is that this is false. The ratio of
functionality to cost, where cost includes learning and
maintenance, is much higher with free software than with
commercial software. I moved to OO.o with 1.1 and have not
looked back.

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

All of Oracle's R&D will be going into Oracle Cloud Office, and Oracle
OpenOffice. Some of the results of that R&D will be migrated into OOo.

In time, OOo will be like SQL-Ledger --- ostensibly open source, but
source code will not be available for the current version, if at all.

Will OpenOffice.org be developed to future final version or will the future
final versions replace the future versions of OpenOffice.org?

In an ideal world, wouldn't Oracle become a member of The Document Foundation and assign the name
OpenOffice.org over to them, then contribute its developers' work to them as it became available?

[discuss] more than 127 columns?

Simone, is the problem that you are having an issue with the number of fields that can be defined
for a specific table in Base? I've never needed as many as you're indicating, but I'd recommend that
you organize your data into multiple tables of related data, perhaps using the same primary key for
all of them if they don't naturally have their own. In many cases, there is a great deal of
duplication of data when tables (or spreadsheets, for that matter) get very wide, making it much
harder to update everything in sync.

[discuss] Oracle dropping OO.org and joining the community...

Hi Ariel,

I think following the lists more careful, would not have given you much
more signs about what was going on.
But OK, I hope you do fine with the Internship - I even trust it :-)
It was quite some work to get it started etc, so happy to see you there!
 

Ah :-) Pls learn German and read their dev-list. Quite some individuals
with strong opinions and feelings that produce tons of CO2 with sending
around loooong mail-discussions. I glad it is relatively quit here.
 

Regards,
Cor

[discuss] REPLACING WINDOWS

First, please turn off caps lock. Someone here has already
suggested this is taken as the email equivalent of shouting.

Second: You should evaluate several distributions then
answer the question for yourself. Someone already suggested
"DistroWatch" as a place to start.

Third, you don't give enough information for us to begin to
guess what might be a reasonable answer to your question.

For starters:

1. What computer system(s) are you using? (At the least
tell us what processor, speed, memory size you have.
If more than one, is are they networked?)
2. What do you use your computer(s) for? (I use mine
primarily for email and web browsing, with some music
playing, CD burning for the car, and a music notation
program from time to time to further my music
performing habit. I get away with some pretty old
hardware.)
3. What level of expertise do your users have? (I was an
expert when I retired in 2004, but as I age, I get
further and further behind the technology curve. I can
make no claim to any expertise now.)

Here is a subjective answer that may well not fit your needs
at all:
Ubuntu or Kubuntu, or other Ubuntu based distribution seems
to work fairly well here on hardware that is not
particularly new.

Thia machine runs XP SP3. I have an old machine (AMD Athlon
1 GHz, 700 MB RAM) with Ubuntu on it. It's slow but usable.

With Warmest Regards

[discuss] Impress - start macro on 'new slide'

Posted: 11 Sep 2010 08:20 AM PDT

I know. But this is a presentation - and the wireless remote doesn't
allow such. Not that this would be a good idea anyway, given the 'target
presenter'. KISS applies as ever: 'forward' is pretty bombproof for the
unskilled presenter; 'forward and then remember to click on the green
thingy to show the video' isn't.
 

Not that it works. Does anyone know exactly what run macro 'on graphics
load successful' might mean? It's clearly not what I thought/hoped, ie
'when image appears'.
