I’m happy to announce OpenOffice.org 3.2 rc5 packages for openSUSE. They are available in the Build Service OpenOffice:org:UNSTABLE project and include many upstream and Go-oo fixes. See also overview of integrated features and enhancements. Please, look for more details about the openSUSE OOo build on the wiki page.

The packages are release candidates. Though, they have not passed the full QA test and might still include even serious bugs. Therefore they are not intended for data-critical usage. A good practice is to archive any important data before an use, …

As usual, we kindly ask any interested beta testers to try the package and report bugs. See also the list of known bugs.

Other information and plans:

There were more blocker bugs in the rc4, so we needed to release rc5 in the end. The good news is that no new blocker bug has been reported last few days. If nothing bad happen with the next few days, rc5 will be final and I will put it to the OpenOffice:org:STABLE project by the end of this week. Please, keep your fingers crossed ;-)

Currently, extensions programmers have no access to the deployment process of an extension. With CWS tkr35 the new interface XDeploymentHooks was introduced. An extension programmer may uses this interface to get a notification and execute custom code during the deployment and undeployment process.

To activate the deployment hooks simple add the <deploymentHook>-Tag to your description.xml. The tag contains the service name of the XDeploymentHooks implementation.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<description xmlns="http://openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
    <version value="0.0.1"/>
<deploymentHooks service="com.foo.DeploymentHooksTest"/>
    <identifier value="com.foo.DeploymentHooksTest"/>
    <display-name>
        <name lang="en">Deployment Hooks Test Extension</name>

In a previous blog I mentioned I was trying to provide some more advanced containment control concepts to Openoffice.org. As such I have created a cws for it. My main focus is providing these controls to enhance the VBA Userform import experience, hence support in the general Openoffice.org usage case is limited to programmatic access for the moment ( probably a good thing whilst trying to mature this feature )
I do think though that the implementation ( with some minor cleaning up ) is good enough to commit, that way ,the Userform import will immediately benefit from this work and additionally developers can play with the new ‘MultiPage, Page & Frame’ controls. If you can’t wait for the cws to be integrated then you can of course try this feature in the ooo-build master branch where it is already available. some nested container controls The screenshot shows a MSO userform with some multiple levels of nested container controls, then the same useform imported in ‘vanilla’ openoffice and finally how it looks now in the cws. You should notice some other nice improvements that also are included in this cws e.g. the ’spinbutton’ is now imported ( unfortunately this cws does not make use of the spinbutton generally available for normal Openoffice.org Dialogs ) However this cws does enable controls in Openoffice Dialogs to now access embedded images ( note the image control from the MSO Userforms has an associated image, the filter has been modified to create embedded images on import and the Dialog controls now can handle embedded images ) Also some good news regarding the toolbar enhancements mentioned in the last blog these are now integrated in the DEV300 codebase since m70 ( many thanks to Carsten for helping make that happen )

  • Up too early; to the conference. Enjoyed the Tor talk, although the ethics of standing nearby a lot of people doing a very diverse set of things (in order to help hide them) are unclear to me.
  • Amused by Tanenbaum's talk on reliable software, if not completely convinced. It is highly unclear to me that re-starting apparently AWOL individual components will lead to a more reliable system overall, on the other hand - isolation of low-quality third party drivers seems obviously good.
  • Travelled home via some horrendous interrupted rail journey / bus special. Longer to get from London to Newmarket than from Brussels to London.

  • Up somewhat late for breakfast - met some Cambridge guys working on accessible speech synthesis devices. Bus to the conference. Set too manning the booth - Moblin demos, worked on a few build bugs with FunkyPenguin.
  • Worked on my talk somewhat; despite a deluge of interesting things and people passing by. Gave it; slides to follow. Wandered the floor, demoing things to people.
  • Out for dinner with some SUSE guys in the evening; and off to the Porte Noir for the GNOME party.

I missed last year's but was here two years ago, in Brussels, during winter, only without the broken hip. Fosdem is intense, exciting, great. The focus is on presentations, dsicussions that have an effect, that are not just speeches. In our case, this means the OOo developers present (and there are a lot) are going around meeting others and discussing OOo's technology and file format (the ODF) and how to contribute. (Today there is also a meeting of the ODF crew at 14:00, which I will be participating in. And that field--the ODF--is also immensely interesting.)

More later.....

Oh, cool data--so cool I wonder how much we can believe it.

In the Go-oo team, we wanted to refactor some toolbar popups to tend to some general look. The following screenshots give a good idea of the differences between those popups.Differences between the toolbars

Then I changed the popup windows by something looking more like the third of the above screenshots. For some popups I even removed the menu to use normal dialog controls: the effect was pretty awful with the OpenSuse 11.2 default GTK theme (with black menus). Here are some screenshots to better realize what has changed, though there are other refactored popups…Some changed toolbars

The patch has been committed to ooo-build master branch, but is not yet applied as there are still some crashes to fix when reopening the toolbar.

  • To work, poked more bootcharts, fixed a couple of bugs in bootchart2, and submitted it to Base:System. Implemented horizontal scale zoom in the viewer - to see yet more detail. Dug into a kernel boot time regression, and poked Greg about it.
  • Meeting heaven - preload all-hands, customer calls, chat with Guy, JP, etc. what fun.
  • Banged away at my desk in the evening, accepting some slightly damp, pre-planed timber in exchange for speed. Amused by the EvoStick water-proof glue, apparently it "dries clear" - where 'clear' seems to have the value 'white'; odd. Assembled the angle-grinder, and had a go at the steel for the front guard - remembered that you get a lot of fun sparks from such an occupation - and that the floor is covered with fine sawdust, hmm. You really get a good feeling for the speed of a 10k RPM hard-disk, with a angle-grinder of the same speed, somehow failed to set light to myself, loose a limb, or burn the house down.

Today, I’d like to talk about two minor enhancements I just checked in to ooo-build master. They are not really earth-shuttering per se, but still worth mentioning & may be interesting to some users.

Insert new sheet tab

insert-sheet-shot

Here is the first enhancement. In Calc, you’ll see a new tab at the right end of the sheet tabs, to allow quick insertion of new sheets. Each time you click this tab, a new sheet gets inserted to the right end. The sheet names are automatically assigned.

Previously, inserting a new sheet has to be done by opening the Insert sheet dialog, selecting the position of the new sheet and how many new sheets are to be inserted etc. But if you always append a single sheet at the right end and don’t care to name the new sheet (or name it after the sheet is inserted), this enhancement will save you a few clicks. Implementing this was actually not that hard since I was able to re-use the existing code for most of its functionality. I personally wanted to give it a little more visual appeal, but that will be a future project.

Anyway, I hope some of you will find this useful.

English function names in non-English locale

The second enhancement is related to cell functions. If you use a localized version of OOo, you probably know that the function names are localized. But there has been quite a few requests to support English function names even if the UI is localized. This is where this enhancement comes in.

First, there is now an additional check box in the Formula options page:
english-func-option
By default, the check box is off, which means the localized function names are used. Checking this check box will swap localized function names with the English ones across the board. You can of course uncheck it to go back to the localized function names.

For example, in French locale, the name of the function that calculates a summation of a cell range is called SOMME, but when the English function name option is enabled, this becomes SUM as you can see in the following screenshot:
english-func-displayed

This change takes effect in all of the following areas:

  • formula input and display,
  • function wizard, and
  • formula tips.

As always, please test this thoroughly, and report any bugs. Thanks!

  • Walked babes to school. Interested to see the IM 25nm NAND flash, double the capacity in the same footprint. At 167mm^2 (a square 13x13) - 8Gb == 64Gbit; to convert that to the world of hard-disk geometries (all in bits per inch^2 [nice]) is ~1/4 of an inch squared, giving an areal density equivalent of 240Gbit/inch squared (highly contrived without leads, packaging, and/or hard-disk spindles, read heads etc. but interesting). So that gives us - numbers courtesy of man-in-the-pub (wikipedia)
    MediaDensity Gbits/inch^2
    CD0.9
    DVD2.2
    Blue-ray7.5
    IM 25nm flash240
    holographic250
    best holographic250
    hard disk400
    Of course, ideally storage densities would be measured in mm^3 (the world is going metric - inch by inch) - and of course, for eg. a backup medium, ultimate density of leaking capacitors is not the key consideration; but interesting nonetheless. I'm looking forward to the next generation of flash-ssds - but, if we could get the (rather good idea) of hybrid disk + some flash in a single box to market fruition things could get better rather more quickly. Incidentally - one reason doubling capacity in the same footprint makes a difference is the fixed cost: ~$1 per chip for etching, sawing, packaging etc.
  • Tried to book an hotel at FOSDEM on Alasdair's recommendation, I suppose I should at this point insert some graphic suggesting I'm going to FOSDEM: it's going to rock. By some miracle of scheduling, I also seem to have a talk on boot performance Saturday @ 16:15. The abstract for which should read:
    A quick expose on boot time profiling tools, show-casing the slightly-less-lame: "bootchart2" - a new and improved boot time profiling tool, and other ways to speed things up. Which of the seven+ 'readahead' tools do you want, and why ? With a summary of recent fixes and wins in the area, and how to get involved with improving Linux boot performance
    If you have content I am likely to miss: a new uber-funky boot, ultra-fast boot subsystem (or something) I'd love to hear about it for then.
  • I don't think I ever realised that Andy Wingo's past before GStreamer was so interestingly Nucular - a fascinating set of insights. I must say that, I'm more optimistic that you can blag money out of the military, and use it to generate something socially useful - the internet might be a case in point.
  • Poked LXF, odd. Clarity; one-to-one with JP, sync with Aaron. Worked late on git based code auditing tool. Printed out some lovely pictures of the children for their God-parents.

  • Up early, dealt with babes while J. slept. Off to NCC, managed to avoid creche somehow - and so hear Tony's sermon on the woman at the well; good stuff.
  • Home for lunch, supervised three babes watching Ice-Age2, while J. cycled off with a practising H. to Effie's for cakes. Set too in the work-shop, having abandoned hope of a biscuit cutter - used nails instead - with much glue. Assisted by first E. and then N. helpfully passing nails, and avoiding ricochets from their removed ends. Worked away at it until late and got much of a workbench constructed.

  • Inordinately long lie-in until 11:15 - grief. The washing machine has packed in. Ignored the wife's advice that it wasn't turning at all, and set too cleaning out the shocking gunge that likes to build up in the pump / sump. After re-assembling, discovered that - in fact, the motor was not turning; removed the brushes - really pleased with the Hotpoint machine, they seem to care about the hapless service engineer - by smoothing, and folding the pressed steel so there are not sharp edges to practise self-laceration on everywhere. Easy to access, nicely enclosed brushes too - neat. Spares shop shut by the time all this was done: bother
  • Fooled around with H. above her bedroom, affixing hardboard against the roof angle, to hold the insulation in place, reduce air-flow, and (with luck) further warm her room. Much interest from small people in crawling around inside. Appalled by the generally feminine and dainty hammering actions of all and sundry. Adjourned after dinner for some hammering practise outside with the eldest three - eventually got the idea that you really want to hit the thing impressed upon them - with some good results.
  • Put everyone to bed, and out to the Newmarket Pregnancy Crisis Center fund-raising Quiz - had a great time, Laura & Creighton and Claire, too - fine puddings, good company, and interesting questions. Helped pack up, and back to bed late.

  • Up at six, for mens prayer breafast at Church; to work early. Mail prodding, dug at a strange gnome settings daemon issue around multi-monitor bits for Federico. Signed the iPad DRM petition - great to seem them raising the profile of that there.
  • Switched from ureadahead back to my hacked up sreadahead - it seems (despite being rather dumber) to be faster; why I have no idea, prolly some mis-interaction with my kernel.
  • Amused by Avatar (The making of the bootleg), some great advertising.
  • Prodded hal - still taking too long to start in my book; it seems to enjoy parsing the 600k, 18k line /usr/share/pci.ids file, for me it does it 23 times on startup - seems we need a 23 entry persistent cache for another 2x speed win.
  • Limbo'd in H's roof-space, trying to get bits of insulation, hardboard, and chip-board, and myself through an extremely small door, into a very small hole. It all brings back the reason why you pay builders in the first place to do [sic] the job for you.

I’m happy to announce OpenOffice.org 3.2 rc4 packages for openSUSE. They are available in the Build Service OpenOffice:org:UNSTABLE project and include many upstream and Go-oo fixes. See also overview of integrated features and enhancements. Please, look for more details about the openSUSE OOo build on the wiki page.

The packages are release candidates. Though, they have not passed the full QA test and might still include even serious bugs. Therefore they are not intended for data-critical usage. A good practice is to archive any important data before an use, …

As usual, we kindly ask any interested beta testers to try the package and report bugs. See also the list of known bugs.

Other information and plans:

I am sorry for the huge delay. We spent a lot of time with debugging some java related problems. Upstream released rc4 in the meantime, so I decided to skip the rc3 packages for  openSUSE.

This is evidently one of the more problematic releases.  I wish I said that rc4 was the final release but we still do not know. Upstream thinks about to release rc5 because of the following bugs:

  • Crash of presentation mode at the start of animation (i#108748)
  • Problem to finish en-US-only build (i#107957)
  • Create style via API is broken (i#108426)

Though, the first bug happens only with Cairo canvas disabled and it is enabled in our build by default. The other issues are already fixed in the openSUSE rc4 build. So, these are not real blockers for us but…

  • To work, read mail, and analysis. I didn't pick up the fact that Sun's public-cloud plans (which always seemed a little crazy) are over with Oracle in charge. I guess that is why OO.o is orphaned out of Dave Douglas' "Cloud Computing and Developer Platforms" group - fair enough; OO.o has never been a developer platform (not one that either external (or apparently internal) developers wanted to build on), and it's 'Cloud' credentials always seemed flaky to me. Far better to focus on the value to customers there it seems to me.
  • It seems with Zonker's departure; that there is an exciting opening opening up as a community manager for OpenSUSE.
  • Watched some of the strategy videos at Oracle wrt. Java and OO.o. Apparently no auto-cue for Michael Bemmer; odd. Lots of emphasis on JavaFX in the Java spiel - which last I checked is still deeply mired in non-openness. OO.o - nothing new, beyond a very fuzzy screenshot of a 'web office' suite in the browser (sigh). It is amazing to me - that the most important predictor of success and adoption for these technologies is not presented: are we going to see genuine open-ness ? will Sun be fixed where it has screwed up ? I suppose only time will tell.

One more time, thanks to Ben Bois who created a new great background for the future version (0.8) of OOo4Kids :


OOo4Kids 0.8pre screenshot

The shapes of the buttons are no longer apparent, and when you roll over one of them, a help balloon explains you which application will open. Of course, things are not perfect, and we still have some bugs to fix, but this is very promising !! (and my children love it ;-)

More information about the recent changes

IMPORTANT : the version proposed for download (0.6) below does NOT have the feature yet. The new splashscreen should be integrated in the version : 0.8, not before.

=> Download.ooo4Kids.org website


If you want to help us, to find resource and contribute back to improve OpenOffice.org, via the OpenOffice.org Education Project, donations are welcome

OOo4Kids is made for Educational purpose, has been thought to work with students, making them discover OpenOffice.org source code, without constraints, but just code, and having Fun.
The promise is, when the code is good enough, it will be proposed for integration into OpenOffice.org.

OOo4Kids is a 7-12 years children Office suite, based on OpenOffice.org ( http://www.openoffice.org ) source code. This means OpenOffice.org has some features OOo4Kids has not (like Base and Java). And if you need those features, please use OpenOffice.org, that you can download at : Download OpenOffice.org. Please do not forget that the software is provided as it, and that you will use it at your own risks. Do not forget to do a backup either.
