The hangup has been what to do with mothballed projects, what to do with the data. We will create an effective category, with very limited permissions, called something like, "Inactive Projects" and the data will remain there, unto perpetuity or the closes thing to it. Expect new update by next CC meeting.<br> | + | |

| + | There was a longer discussion on how sustainable these internships are, quite controversially. Even if interns don't show up after their internship has been finished and we don#t see them all acting as multiplicators it seems useful to run the Internship again. |

| − | *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: [http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=65958 initial mail (2010-04-14)], [http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?listName=discuss&from=2361081&to=2361081&count=28&by=thread&first=1&windowSize=1000 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 [http://council.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=2564 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.

| − | **2010-07-22: Andreas provided some insight what currently happens within Oracle. The topic "icons" is currently addressed ...
| + | |
| − | ***A discussion took place with Michael Bemmer and other people at Oracle.
| + | |
| − | ***Outcome: Oracle marketing made a decision that is supposed to be communicated shortly. --> Icons will be redesigned, for the long run, with constraints.
| + | |
| − | ***Motivation: The current design fails with regard to usability aspects. --> Redesign is intended with focus on usability.
| + | |
| − | ***Constraints: The activity will be run open with all necessary involvements.
| + | |
| − | ***Question to Andreas/Martin to discuss whether the official statement may be discussed with the community before it is going to be published "officially".
| + | |
| − | ***Decision to keep this CC Action Item open until there is more visible activity.
| + | |
| − | **2010-08-12: Marketing contact is in vacation, and information also depends on others at Oracle. More information definitely to come at the OOoCon, presentation "[http://www.ooocon.org/index.php/ooocon/2010/paper/view/215 Brand Refresh and new Brand Initiative]".<br>
| + | |
| − | **2010-09-21: Request for update sent to Oracle, nothing new yet.
| + | |
| − | *Next steps: Waiting for the reaction by Oracle, either getting in touch with the community or an official announcement.<br>
| + | |
| − | *Cornouws: discussed during OOoCon; looks as if we were able to bring across the importance, however, other tasks ask attention first from Oracle people.<br>
| + | |
| − | * 2010-11-25: Andreas took over this item and reported that a new iTeam is created to work on the icons again but on basis of some existing constraints.

| − | == 2010-11-04 ==
| + | There's a lack of visibility of the OpenOffice.org project between releases. We are in the moment too weak on PR and other things. The OpenOffice.org 3.3 release had some good coverage in the press. |
| | | | |
| − | The meeting was canceled because of an unwanted visitor in the private chat. And because of missing operator rights nobody was able to kick him off the channel. No minutes and log available.
| + | Contributions from non Oracle developers have decreased. It was suggested to invest in areas of the OpenOffice.org product where it is easy for 3rd party vendors to provide their own work. We already have a good basis for this with the template and extension repositories. |
| | | | |
| − | == 2010-10-14 ==
| + | For the Templates site there is some room for improvement: |
| | + | * better and more templates |
| | + | * leveraging the voting system |
| | + | * better search capabilities, better categorization |
| | + | * better integration in the template dialog, integrated search etc. |
| | | | |
| − | === IRC Log ===
| + | In some areas similar applies for the extension site. |
| | | | |
| − | [[Community Council Log 20101014]]
| + | Also the integration of content feeds (blogs, news, other references) within the startup were discussed (like Netbeans, MS Developer Studio, etc. do). |
| | | | |
| − | === Minutes ===
| + | Preparation for the upcoming 3.4 release are ongoing, activities in the QA and l10n projects are recovering again from last years “event”. |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Discussion:<br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *The costs are estimated to be roughly 40 K USD. It has been agreed that this seems to be a realistic estimation and maintainability is a very important question. <br>
| |
| − | *These costs do not fit in any currently planned budget. Some proposals were made how this work might be split / separated to get more manageable pieces (in terms of budget). But it has also been raised that it might only make sense if it is worked on the full documentation.<br>
| |
| − | *It has been agreed that - before any further decision can be made - all people should have a closer look at Clayton's proposal.<br>
| |
| − |

| |
| − | ==== Status Updates from CC Sponsored Activities ====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Trademark Policy'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ST reported that the draft trademark policy was being reviewed by Sun Legal, but no major changes were expected.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Developing developers'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ''The CC welcomed Clayton Cornell for this item'' <br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The CC discussed three areas where documentation could be improved:<br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *how-to get into core development (technical)<br>
| |
| − | *how-to engage in the community development process (people)<br>
| |
| − | *how-to get into extension development (technical)<br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There was a discussion on the merits of traditional paper-based documentation versus webinars etc for each of these.<br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The CC agreed to focus on extensions, possibly based on Per’s current work with Kai on a gallery extension. Clayton was actioned to come back with a budgetary estimate for the work.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The CC agreed to talk to Google to see whether the Oracle takeover meant that OOo would be accepted this year for the Summer of Code exercise. If not, the CC should press on with its own internship exercise.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Pootle Infrastructure'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ''The CC welcomed Rafaella Braconi for this item''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *A new Pootle sys admin was now in place and was actively managing the system
| |
| − | *Some background scripts had been removed. Feedback from the engineers was that performance of Pootle was not hardware constrained.
| |
| − | *the latest version of Pootle would be installed as soon as OOo 3.2 was released
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Overall the position had stabilised. Engagement with the Pootle developers was good. We should look to get feedback from the community again in Q2 after the software upgrade. The CC would be willing to help the Pootle team carry out developments to meet OOo requirements if required.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Download Infrastructure Migration (MirrorBrain)'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | JPMcC reported that the Marketing Project download reporting system was now being fed from both Bouncer and MirrorBrain, and 3.2 would be released via MirrorBrain. He thanked the MirrorBrain team for their help in meeting OOo’s requirements.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Site Infrastructure Migration (Kenai)'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ST reported on the project to migrate OOo from Collabnet to Kenai. Kenai is based on open source technologies such as Zoomla, Bugzilla, and Rails, but will be managed as a service by a team within Oracle. The OOo Project Leads and Web Project are now actively engaged on the migration which is planned to have three phases:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *fit-gap analysis of Kenai features vs OOo requirements (underway)
| |
| − | *any resulting OOo ‘must have’ features implemented in Kenai
| |
| − | *data migration scripts developed and proven (underway - Collabnet data dump received)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Migration must be complete by end of June. ST believed this was ambitious but achievable, as a pilot project (netbeans.org) had already migrated successfully. There would still be a requirement for a ‘*.services.oo.o’ for OOo-specific requirements.

| |
| − | ==== Agenda Items ====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The additional agenda can be found [[Community Council/Agenda/Face2Face|here]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Oracle / Sun'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The CC noted the contents of the recent webcasts by Oracle, and that the formal Legal Entity Consolidation of Oracle and Sun Microsystems was due this month. The CC had always valued the relationship with Sun, and looked forward to a similarly fruitful relationship with Oracle. The CC extended their best wishes to the formerly Sun-sponsored community contributors in their new home as a global business unit within Oracle Corporation. The CC had no comment to make on Oracle’s announcement of a commercial ‘Cloud Office’ product other than to state new entrants are always welcome to the ODF ecosystem.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Education Project'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Following on from the ''Developing developers'' initiative and the work with Seneca, the CC debated where these activities should be best placed with OOo. The Education Project would seem an obvious home, but the project had recently undertaken a number of initiatives which were already taking it in several different directions. The CC agreed to talk to the project leads about the structure and remit of the project, to give greater focus and avoid conflicts with other projects.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Branding'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ''The CC welcomed Rosana Ardila Biela for this item''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | RAB gave a presentation on the work to refresh and relaunch the visual identity of OOo, as part of a branding initiative within the Marketing Project. She presented a revamped OOo logo which was still work in progress within the working party. The CC warmly welcomed the activity, and encouraged the team to reach consensus on a new logo. If the team was unable to do so, then they should present options to the CC for another decision / route - however, it was far better for the experts in the team to decide, rather than the amateurs on the CC!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Native Language Community development'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The CC discussed ways of encouraging NLC development.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *Requests for financial support for Regional Conferences would be considered on a case by case basis. Funding would be start-up only, as conferences are expected to be self-financing. The CC recommends that OOo teams should be encouraged to join forces with other open-source projects to share the costs and efforts involved in running conferences.
| |
| − | *NLCs should be encouraged to volunteer for a ‘Native Language Community of the Month’ spotlight in the OOo Newsletter - C-HS to organise.
| |
| − | *The CC discussed direct funding of new localisations e.g. at the request of a government. Past experience suggested these did not lead to sustainable versions. The success of the NLC within OOo was based round a team of activists providing a complete package of localisation, QA, training, support, etc.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''‘Greening’ OpenOffice.org'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The CC discussed ways of minimising OOo’s carbon footprint. OOo’s infrastructure is mostly donated by third parties, which means the CC cannot make direct decisions about e.g. using only renewable electricity in datacentres. The CC agreed that OOoCon should be made more accessible for remote attendees as a priority, e.g. improved web streaming, dial-in access to sessions, mandatory advance submission of papers, etc. Support of remote attendees should be made a key deciding factor in awarding the 2011 OOoCon. The Marketing Project was also asked to consider options - e.g. should the MP be responsible for a web capability centrally every year rather than rely on local teams?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Extensions Repository'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has notified the CC that the OOo Extensions Repository does not conform to FSF principles, as it hosts ‘non-free’ software. As a result, any software distributions wishing to conform to FSF standards should not make use of the OOo Repository. The CC agreed that licence information could be improved on the Repository, as this is an important factor people should consider when choosing extensions. The FSF would be welcomed to help in providing this sorting / filtering mechanism. However, the CC would not support a forking or partitioning of the Repository to exclude ‘non-free’ extensions. OOo respects the right of its users to make their own informed choice of software, and believes this is best achieved by a single Repository offering a full selection of extensions.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Community Council Effectiveness'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | CC members used the opportunity of this face to face meeting to brainstorm high and low points of 2009, and consider community goals for 2010/2011. An offline presentation by CN highlighted the lack of a consistent trail from the overall OOo mission statement down to project or release goals.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The CC discussed issues with its current processes:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *CC members over-committing to Action Items, which they then fail to deliver
| |
| − | *the quality of the minutes, which makes it hard for community members to understand what the CC is doing
| |
| − | *the amount of time taken up on IRC presenting status reports, which could be more efficiently done in advance
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The CC also needs to improve its communication with the Community. The CC agreed to experiment with starting meetings with a public session. The Minutes should be prepared in a form that anyone can understand without having to work through IRC logs. It should also be possible to copy and paste from the Minutes into the monthly OOo Newsletter to give a ‘This Month in the Community Council’ article.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | CN (the current facilitator) agreed to work on a new meeting template including these improvements. JPMcC agreed to write up the minutes for this meeting.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''2010 Budget'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | MHe reported that the current level of monthly donations was sufficient to support the proposed budget. The majority of these donations came from small contributions via PayPal. The CC agreed to adopt the draft budget for 2010 but review it quarterly to see if the allocation between different headings should be amended. MHe agreed to publish a summary of ‘actual vs budget’ quarterly on the wiki. JPMcC agreed to refresh the budget wiki pages for 2010. All projects should be encouraged to put forward proposals for using all the available funding.

Some discussion about the Councils offer of their availability as community contacts to Oracle.
Jürgen will write up a summary regarding the internship 2010 (AI Jürgen), this should be published soon. Jürgen stated that the internship was quite successful and many of the results are expected to get integrated into the code.
There was a longer discussion on how sustainable these internships are, quite controversially. Even if interns don't show up after their internship has been finished and we don#t see them all acting as multiplicators it seems useful to run the Internship again.
There's a lack of visibility of the OpenOffice.org project between releases. We are in the moment too weak on PR and other things. The OpenOffice.org 3.3 release had some good coverage in the press.
Contributions from non Oracle developers have decreased. It was suggested to invest in areas of the OpenOffice.org product where it is easy for 3rd party vendors to provide their own work. We already have a good basis for this with the template and extension repositories.
Also the integration of content feeds (blogs, news, other references) within the startup were discussed (like Netbeans, MS Developer Studio, etc. do).
Preparation for the upcoming 3.4 release are ongoing, activities in the QA and l10n projects are recovering again from last years “event”.
Plan is to prepare internship for 2011 with focus with above topics (template and extension site integration), Stefan will ask for providing mentorship again. Especially the re-design of the template dialog might require some more efforts, more money will be put on this if required.
