andreasma_at_LibreOffice

Some days ago I get feedback from the design team and changed the logo back to the original today. There was also a new question about the source code of the extension and an explanation, what's to do, if it's not inside: provide a link to the source code of the release.

I had a short look at the new Extension repository, that I created for LibreOffice, and I saw the number of projects is growing. There are currently fourteen projects on the site and I expect more of them in the next weeks, because we had not going into the wider public with this new sub-project.
The site is currently available under http://extensions-test.libreoffice.org. I created also a new repository for templates under http://templates-test.libreoffice.org. Both sites are running on Plone, a powerfull content and document/file management system.

If you have created an extension or a template for LibreOffice, that you want to publish under a free license, go to the site, create an account for free and publish your extension / template.

Today I finished my documentation about the PDF export of LibreOffice in a first version. I wrote this documentation in the German language, because this is my mother tongue. You can find the document currently on my website: http://amantke.de/libreoffice/dokumentation. I published the documentation under the Creative Commons license. I'll find a place for the documentation on the TDF resources in the next days, after I clarified the right place for it.

Last Saturday and Sunday we, Jacqueline Rahemipour, Simon Wilper, Thomas Hackert and I, represented LibreOffice at the local Open Source "OpenRheinRuhr" in Oberhausen, Germany. We had to struggle with some difficulties. First there were some discussions about the process of the application of the booth for LibreOffice at this event. But we ignored this discussion.
But second there was a major difficulty to get to the OpenRheinRuhr on Saturday morning, because it was pouring. The streets and motorways were full of water. But all of us arrived in Oberhausen and had two days of interesting discussion with visitors and members of other Open Source projects. Many of them wanted to know more about our decision to create a foundation and the way of LibreOffice in the near future. We had a FAQ-Paper (thanks to Jacqueline) at our both, that we handed over to the visitors in addition to the face-to-face information. We get only positive feedback from our visitors (including members from other projects) about the founding of a foundation and the way of (to) LibreOffice. So it was very important for LibreOffice and the DocumentFoundation, that we have been at the OpenRheinRuhr. Especially because we could provide attendees, which visited the booth of OOo, with additional information.
The OpenRheinRuhr was a well organized event in a refurbished industrial building, the "Rheinische Industrie Museum". We are going to attend this local event next year again.

I had a little fight wit git push in the last days. Today i won this fight with the help of the LibreOffice Community and get my first commits pushed to the repository. There are some more easy tasks remaining for the next days.
