Thousands of donors contribute €50,000 in just eight days to The Document Foundation
LibreOffice Community accomplishes next major milestone
Ongoing donations to support marketing, infrastructure and development
The Community around LibreOffice, the free personal productivity suite, has accomplished the next major milestone in establishing The Document Foundation as a legal entity. In just eight days, some 2,000 donors from all over the world contributed €50,000 for the capital stock necessary to set-up the legal entity in Germany.
"We still can't believe it," says Florian Effenberger, Steering Committee member. "It happened in such a short period of time and was beyond our wildest expectations. You all really rock! On behalf of the Community, the Steering Committee would like to thank all the donors for their generous support."
The €50,000 collected will form the Foundation's paid-up capital, ensuring a permanent future for the organization after the legal paperwork is complete, based in Germany. The capital will be frozen assets for the Foundation: the funds cannot be spent, and we will be able to avail just the annual interest. All money donated from now on will actually bankroll our ongoing running costs for things such as marketing, hardware, infrastructure, attending trade shows, initial financing of merchandising material and, of course, developing new and exciting ideas.
"So we still need your support: Every donation helps to pay for our future operational running," Effenberger adds.
Details on how to donate to The Document Foundation and how the money will be spent are available at http://challenge.documentfoundation.org
Information about LibreOffice can be found at http://www.libreoffice.org
The home of The Document Foundation is at http://www.documentfoundation.org
About The Document Foundation
The Document Foundation has the mission of facilitating the evolution of the LibreOffice community into a new, open, independent, and meritocratic organization over the next few months. An independent Foundation is a better reflection of the values of our contributors, users and supporters, and will enable a more effective, efficient and transparent community. TDF will protect past investments by building on the achievements of the first decade, will encourage wide participation within the community, and will co-ordinate activity across the community.

I think that at least the search function of pootle leaks (kind of) memory.
By "memory leak", I mean
* The real one
* Some kind of memory management like smart pointer.
So, we have to reboot the *web server* (or even the server) to free up memory.
I am sorry that I don't have time to dig into the problem deeper than what
the intuitive art told me :)

Project vi locked?
Hello the openoffice.org webmasters,
I think I have received this email by mistake.
Do you mean that the following project has been locked?
Could you please explain why?
http://vi.openoffice.org/source/browse/vi/www/
I have to ask because I have no idea what is going on here.
Other members of the vi team (and I don't) do have the write permission
to the repository so I am sure that they are still
reading the list - which is CC'ed.
Being a fan of meritocracy, I am just a person who sits between
the Vietnamese community and the OpenOffice.org l10n team.
Therefore, it is wrong sending me the following email privately.
Best regards,
Nguyen Vu Hung

Jumping to a specific slide in Impress (libreoffce/OpenOffice)
But since Impress usually supports jumping to other (hidden) slides in
the presentation in any case, this might be required ... even if you
exclude (e.g.) slide 5, you can change to slide 5 by "5 ENTER" (another
feature important for some other users). To solve this, it requires a
bit more work ...

Thank you for reminding me that; being an open source enthusiast for
more than a decade,
I know the importance of being open - in communication, that's how
open source development
diagram works.

[l10n-dev] Resignation from French NL project Co-Lead
Hi all,
I'm resigning from the co-lead role of the French Native Lang project.
This resignation is immediate.
It was a great pleasure to work together all these last years and even meet you in real life during OOoCons.
As we share the same interest to spread OpenDocument usage, I'm sure we'll have chance to meet again.
Best regards.
Gilles Bignebat.

Profiling libreoffice
I always use callgrind instead; and I use it like this:
export OOO_DISABLE_RECOVERY=1
valgrind --tool=callgrind --simulate-cache=yes --dump-instr=yes ./soffice.bin -writer -splash-pipe=0
Then I use 'kcachegrind' on the output.
Now - possibly you want to use callgrind_control -z just before you
start doing something fun in calc - so that you can not get swamped by
the startup cost; and of course - this method is fairly slow, and really
you need to build with debug symbols to get a good view of what is up.
OTOH - it is a wonderful tool ;-)
HTH,
Michael.
