OSDC.tw 2012即將於今天2/10(五)下午2點開始報名。今年OSDC.tw有OpenOffice的主題，題目為OpenOffice UNO Application on Android。大家不要錯過囉！ ^_*' http://osdc.tw/
雖然不直接相關，幾則IBM Symphony的Update。
日本福岡市農會改用LibreOffice! ^_*'
日本福岡市農業協同組合轉用LibreOffice
日本福岡市農業協同組合(JA福岡市)在2011年12月6日，宣布引入LibreOffice代替MS Office。JA福岡市約有400台電腦，當中7成電腦今後將不再購買MS Office，可望節省840萬日元開支。
日本在全國各地都有農業協同組合(JA)，這是JA首次在地區辦事處引入開源辦公室套件。LibreOffice是OpenOffice.org的 衍生版本，由OpenOffice.org開團隊離開Oracle後設立的非牟利團體Document Foundation所開發。JA福岡市沒有採用OpenOffice.org，反而採用了LibreOffice，原因是後者對MS Office的相容性較佳，加上負責開發的Document Foundation在體制上較為完善。
文件格式使用ODF(OpenDocument Format)亦是JA福岡市採用LibreOffice的原因之一。ODF是以XML為基礎的文件格式，已經被國際標準化機構ISO和日本工業規格 JIS承認為標準規格。JA福岡市負責人表示「使用MS Office時，也經常出現新舊版本無法相容的現象，採用國際標準規格的ODF，今後便可避免出 現這樣的狀況。」目前日本已經有數個地方政府辦事處採用了OpenOffice.org，包括會津若松市、四國中央市、大阪府交野市等等，同樣以ODF作為文件格式。
JA福岡市在3年起，已經參考會津若松市進行文件格式的轉移，經驗證相容性後，在2011年春天決定採用LibreOffice。文字文件偶爾會出 現邊框位置移位的現象，這些文件經修正後已經重新儲存為ODF格式。培訓方面，JA福岡市購買了70本由OpenOffice.org日本用戶協會編寫的 書籍，除此之外沒有其他培訓方面的開支。JA福岡市亦把引入LibreOffice的經驗和常見問答，編輯成免費的PDF文書「從LibreOffice 開始用開源」，並在2011年12月27日起在官方網站上公開。
好消息！IBM這兩天分別在Android Market和Apple AppStore釋出免費的IBM Lotus Symphony Viewer，以後在手機/平板電腦上也能看ODF開放文件格式檔案了！
Apache OpenOffice product and project name decision & next steps
The PPMC approved Apache OpenOffice as the product and project name on November 17, 2011.[1]
Next steps
- All PPMC members review ASF branding and trademark policies and guidelines.[2]
- Gain concensus from PPMC members to request the ASF register the name and trademark prior to graduation by sending request to trademarks@
- Create a brief one sentence description of the function of the product. Gain concensus of the PPMC and publish.
- Create logo and graphic for the new Apache OpenOffice brand. Gain concensus of the PPMC and publish.
- Ensure all project or product homepages feature prominent trademark attribution for the Apache OpenOffice mark. At the top of each project or product homepage, and on the top banner of each page where the project name appears, include a "TM" symbol next to the first main occurrence of the "Apache OpenOffice" project name.
- Create an ASF DOAP 'description of a project'. [3]
Apache基金會正式宣布OpenOffice.org加入Apache的大家庭！
歡迎Apache OpenOffice.org！以後就是AOOo了！ ^_*'
The Apache Software Foundation Statement on Apache OpenOffice.org
Friday Oct 14, 2011
On 1 June 2011, Oracle Corporation submitted the OpenOffice.org code base to The Apache Software Foundation. That submission was accepted, and the project is now being developed as a podling in the Apache Incubator under the ASF's meritocratic process informally dubbed "The Apache Way".
OpenOffice.org is now officially part of the Apache family.
The project is known as Apache OpenOffice.org (incubating).
Over its 12-year history, the ASF has welcomed contributions from individuals and organizations alike, but, as a policy, does not solicit code donations. The OpenOffice.org code base was not pursued by the ASF prior to its acceptance into the Apache Incubator.
The Apache OpenOffice.org Podling Project Management Committee (PPMC) and Committer list are nearly 10 times greater than those of other projects in the Apache Incubator, demonstrating the tremendous interest in this project.
As with many highly-visible products, there has been speculation and conjecture about the future of OpenOffice.org at Apache. More recently, destructive statements have been published by both members of the greater FOSS community and former contributors to the original OpenOffice.org product, suggesting that the project has failed during the 18 weeks since its acceptance into the Apache Incubator.
Whilst the ASF operates in the open –our code and project mailing lists are publicly accessible– ASF governance permits for projects to make information and code freely available when the project deems them ready to be released. Apache OpenOffice.org is not at risk.
As an end-user-facing product, OpenOffice.org is unique in comparison to the other nearly 170 products currently being developed, incubated, and shepherded at the ASF. Considered to be "ingredient brands", countless competing Web server, Cloud computing, data handling, and other solutions behind the products serving millions of users worldwide are, unbeknown to most, "Powered by Apache".
And we're OK with that.
More than 70 project Committers are actively collaborating to ensure that the future of the OpenOffice.org code base and community are in alignment with The Apache Way. The project's extensive plans include assessing the elements necessary to update a product that hasn't had an official release in nearly a year; parts of the product's functionality encumbered by non-Apache-Licensed components; and a code base that has been forked and maintained by a community pursuing market dominance. As such, it is critical that we remain pragmatic about the project's next steps during this transition phase.
We understand that stakeholders of a project with a 10+ year history --be they former product managers or casual users-- may be unfamiliar with The Apache Way and question its methods. Those following the project's migration to process and culture unique to the Apache community may challenge the future sustainability of the project.
Such concerns are not atypical with the incubation of Open Source projects with well-established communities -- the successful graduation of Apache Subversion and Apache SpamAssassin, among others, are proof that The Apache Way works.
As an all-volunteer organization, we do not compensate any contributors to develop Apache code. We do, however, support those individuals with relevant expertise to pursue consulting/remuneration opportunities with interested parties, but must reiterate that they are barred from doing so on behalf of the ASF or any Apache initiatives -- be they Top-level Projects (TLPs) or emerging products in the Apache Incubator and Labs. Otherwise, they would be in violation of the Apache trademark policy, which the ASF strongly defends in order to protect its communities.
At the ASF, the answer is openness, not further fragmentation. There is ample room for multiple solutions in the marketplace that are Powered by Apache. We welcome differences of opinion: a requirement at Apache is that a healthy project be supported by an open, diverse community comprising multiple organizations and individual contributors.
We congratulate the LibreOffice community on their success over their inaugural year and wish them luck in their future endeavors. We look forward to opening up the dialogue between Open Document Format-oriented communities to deepen understanding and cease the unwarranted spread of misinformation.
We welcome input and participation in the form of constructive contributions to Apache OpenOffice.org. There are myriad ways to help, from code development and documentation to community relations and "help desk" forums support to licensing and localization, and more.
The way to move this forward is via the ASF, which owns the OpenOffice.org trademark and official code base. This is our chance to be able to pull together our talents towards a cohesive goal and protect the project's ecosystem.
At a minimum, we owe that to the hundreds of millions of users of OpenOffice.org.

LibreOffice Conference Announcements
October 14, 2011
During the LibreOffice Conference, The Document Foundation has announced:
* LibreOffice Online Prototype: you can watch a demo video at the following address:
http://people.gnome.org/~michael/data/2011-10-10-lool-demo.webm. LibreOffice Online is based on GTK+ framework and HTML5′s canvas, and has been developed by SUSE’s Michael Meeks, built on GTK+ broadway from RedHat’s Alex Laarson.
* LibreOffice port project to Android and iOS, based on the voluntary work of Tor Lillqvist, a SUSE finnish developer know for having ported GIMP to Windows. The LibreOffice Android and iOS port has the objective of bringing the office suite to iPads and Android tablets, and eventually smaller devices. The user interface work has yet to start in earnest but the bulk of the code is compiling.
Please note that these are not products available to end users, but advanced development projects which will become products sometimes in late 2012 or early 2013.
* 500.000 desktops, mostly Windows, at several French Government entities switching from OpenOffice to LibreOffice (this increases the Windows installed base of LibreOffice by 5% in a single move)
* 800.000 USB keys with LibreOffice and other free software distributed to students of the Paris Region (Île-de-France)
* Region Île-de-France becoming a member of TDF Advisory Board
LibreOffice 3.4.3 Released!
The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 3.4.3
The Internet, August 31, 2011 – The Document Foundation (TDF) maintains the speedy pace of LibreOffice development with the announcement of version 3.4.3, intended for enterprise deployments. The new release arrives two weeks after version 3.3.4 (intended for more-conservative users) and one month after the previous release of the 3.4 family, which provides a larger feature set based on cleaner and leaner code. TDF maintains two editions of LibreOffice to satisfy the needs of a large and diverse user base, although we strongly recommend everyone to update to the 3.4 series in the near future. LibreOffice 3.4.2 has already been deployed by users at Itaipu Binacional in Brazil, the largest electrical power plant in the world, and has been key for the launch of a large migration project involving 25,000 desktops by Copenhagen hospitals in Denmark. From September 2nd to September 4th, the LibreOffice community will host this year’s Hackfest together with the Linux Migration Project of the city of Munich in Germany (http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest2011). The meeting has the objective of improving the collaboration between TDF and corporate users of LibreOffice, in order to better match the time based release schedule with the needs of organizations with very large deployments of the office suite. LibreOffice 3.4.3 is immediately available for download in over 100 language versions from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/. Change logs are available at http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/bugfixes-libreoffice-3-4-release-3.4.3.1.log and http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/commit-log-libreoffice-3-4-release-3.4.3.1.log. In October, the community around TDF and LibreOffice will gather in Paris for the first LibreOffice Conference (http://conference.libreoffice.org/). The keynotes and the agenda of the event will be announced soon, together with a program of workshops and trainings for TDF members. Participation in the event is free of charge, and only requires you to register at http://conference.libreoffice.org/conference-registration/.
