Work with Clayton on estimates for Developing developers documentation
Accepted
Jürgen
2010-05-20
  • New proposal has been sent to the list by Jürgen (here). The basic idea is to provide bounties instead of contracting one writer.
  • For any proposal, the development budget may require an upgrade. Matthias, Stefan and Martin will provide a proposal (Cor will join, see 2010-03-04#5).
  • Juergen talked with Clayton and they will come up with some drafts for the first bounties and in relation to the drafts with a set of basic rules/guideline that are necessary to run such a bounty program (see mail on council-discuss).
  • Next steps:
    • Juergen will summarize some information on a wiki page.
    • Budget discussion will be continued in next CC meeting. It is assumed that there will be more information on how much will be provided for each work package.
  • No real update, simply because the lack of time
    • Clayton and i are working on a wiki page to present/describe the idea of bounties and to present the first 4-5 bounty ideas. I expect that we can publish it soon, currently we make slow progress because of vacation or general unavailability.
  • We have prepared the initial wiki page (still a draft) and have described the first two bounties. More bounties will coming soon ... We already have some more ideas but we want to talk with some people about it before we put it as a bounty in the wiki. Important at this point was to define the basic rules and conditions for the bounty program. If there are no complaints we plan to announce the bounty program next week.

Budget may be possible issue, since required for here and for documentation (AI 2010-03-04#4). Cor joined the discussion to work on a proposal.
  • The OpenOffice.org Internship Programme has been officially announced on several channels, e.g. a mail on the announce-list.

Missing OOo desktop presence

Accepted
Christoph, Stefan 2010-05-20
  • Request by a community member to discuss / decide the following question: "Why should OpenOffice.org give away it's presence on the user's desktop - the main place to be recognized by the people - only to support the "application independency" of ODF? A Sun employee stated "The idea of supporting ODF as a application independent open standard is the priority." This leads / will lead to changes with regard to the document and application icon design. The current ODF "only" icons seem to be undesired by the community. Original request to the CC on ooo-discuss: initial mail (2010-04-14), full mail thread
  • Discussion:
    • 2010-04-29: Some members stated that the request should be "more actionable" and "better framed" to be decided by the community. Proposal has been made to forward the request to council-discuss to propose how to proceed.
    • 2010-05-02: Christoph forwarded the request to the CC mailing list. A first discussion took place.
    • 2010-05-20: Intensive discussion about the request and how to address it. Stefan and Christoph agreed to work out a request to the ODF Icons team to iterate on the design and/or processes. Maybe a "refreshed" team which may provide an agreed-upon proposal. Stefan stated that there shouldn't be any dependency to the next/other releases.
  • Next steps: Christoph will formulate a proposal to be discussed with Stefan. This will be presented to the CC on the CC discuss mailing list.
2010-05-07#1 Do not promote proprietary software through the OpenOffice.org extensions library Rejected   (none) 2010-05-20
  • Source: User "Juca" added this item 2010-05-07.
  • OpenOffice.org is free software, but some of the extensions it offers to the users are proprietary. OpenOffice.org extensions library should not promote proprietary extensions.
  • Result: The Council already discussed this issue due to a request by the FSF. The reply can be found here.
2010-05-20#1 Next Council Coordinator Accepted Christoph 2010-05-20
  • There is a need to elect a new Council Coordinator. Time seems to be up for Christoph according to the Council Wiki Page.
  • 2010-05-20: Due to time constraints, the item has been skipped in the CC meeting.
  • Next steps: Christoph will send a request to the CC discuss mailing list.
