And what is the concrete problem?

You can download Apache OpenOffice here, by first selecting operating system, 
language and version and then clicking on "Download full installation":
http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html

> I do not
> know what burning a CD means. 

In what context?

If you (above mentioned download) execute the above mentioned download, you 
will receive (for MS Windows) a *.exe (e.g. 
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.7_Win_x86_install_en.exe), which you can unpack and burn 
on CD. Then you can start setup.exe from the CD.
But you don't need all this, you can use drekt 
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.7_Win_x86_install_en.exe to install.

In Germany you can get CDs with Apache OpenOffice in electronics stores, for 
example here(*):
https://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_openoffice-4-1-6-standard-vollversion-1-lizenz-2518028.html

or, on request, at the ProOO-Box (honorary, by community members):
http://prooo-box.org/

or at CD/DVD mail order companies, e.g (*):
https://www.robbicom.de/?cat=c3_Office-Office.html

All these offers are in German, I don't know anything about 
international/English speaking sources for AOO CDs.


greetings,
Jörg

I have no reason to doubt the quality of the CD sources mentioned by Jörg
but I would avoid CDs available from English speaking sources unless you
have independent evidence that they are not packed with malware.
Downloading from
 http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html is the best source.

Re: [NEW CHAIR] Carl Marcum is the new chair for Apache OpenOffice

2020-03-24 Thread Carl Marcum

Hi Peter,

No problem.  You can use my name. If you need a link let me know, I've 
got a business page.


Best regards,
Carl

I would like to post something on Facebook about beeing a chairman.

Well not so much about the change, more informal what a chair does. 
And using the change as a hook.


Something like:

Apache OpenOffice has changed the chair. What does a chair do in the 
OpenOffice Project?


The chair does have the responsibility to deliver a quarterly report 
to the apache board about the situation of the Project.


The Chair also works with the board that projects suffice to Apache 
standards. This Voluntary position is unpaid.


Something like this, and not to long.I would like to slowly teach 
people how we are structured. What do you think?


I am currently do not have so much time. Still would be cool if I can 
post this this week.



Can I name you Carl on Facebook? (Some people do not want to see 
themselfs there. ;) )



Thanks for any help.

All the Best

Peter

Carl Marcum volunteered, and so the PMC recommended him to the

I can't estimate this exactly, but the risk also exists with German OpenOffice 
CD. 
For example, we regularly warn about https://www.openoffice.de/ because this is 
a purely commercial CD with add-ware, about which users complain again and 
again, because they feel deceived, because they mistakenly believe that 
openoffice.de is a website of the official OpenOffice project.

> Downloading from

> regards,

yes, that's right


for clarification the following:
For www.prooo-box.org I can guarantee 100%, because I personally help there on 
a voluntary basis. (i am ASF-Committer, id: joesch) 
The ProOO-Box is also listed in the third party distributions: 
https://www.openoffice.org/porting/

and a small wish as well:
As project members and experts for OpenOffice we should also have the courage 
to make recommendations.
That's what my 2 other links (mediamarkt.de and robbicom.de) were meant in this 
sense, also because I think it's right to mention those who help us by 
spreading OpenOffice in a serious way.

Jörg

Re: Reporting broken download link

2020-03-24 Thread Marcus
I've downloaded a second ago and haven't seen a problem. So, in general 
it's working.


When you have problems with specific mirror servers then just change 
them. On the SourceForge webpage there is a grey "Problems Downloading?" 
button. Just click on it and choose a different mirror from the popup 
dialog.
