Regards,
Its basically about saying: Arrgghh dont do that or Yes thats more or less the right way to push things (basically what you're doing at the moment) As with any project the management team are not as technically adept as the members of the team, therefore someone needs to be able to provide info/translations to us when we're discussing options. so for example we would come to you and say person A reckons we should plug the sprocket into the widget (and why) person B reckons the sprocket should go into the gadget (and why) You advise on best route. We tell em to do it ;-) At least thats my take (Amon_Re correct me if I'm wrong) I would also point out that as this is a volunteer project the project team are going to have to take into account the time constraints involved (ie lack of time on most peoples part) as such one of the first things (probably) that needs to happen is for us to determine who is available to do any coding (from the 12 ish coders on the list) and what time they have available.

well, since I don't have OS4 or anything to run it, it's sorta hard to do upfront coding per se. (except for the modules mentionned so far that could be coded with OS 3.1 (like aspell for example was mentionned). AS far as my schedule goes, it can vary some as the rest of my days can vary just as much :-). Per week however I can probably easily put a good 20 to 30 hours of programming (maybe more too but just at different times on different days and different weeks). morning on some days, evening and late evening on others. In the spirit of the KISS method, I would have to advise to keep things as independant as possible. As in if there's a "reasonable way" to do something without relying on 3rd party projects, I'd vote for that (provided it doesn't mean we double the length of the project :-). but for 5% to 10% faster time because we're using that 3rd party library or binding, to me that would be almost negligeable in my vote to not use the given library or binding. This way we're well independant and have 100% control over what the 3rd party lib or binding would have done. This ultimately always ends up in faster debugging time at the end, at least it's been my observations in my other programming projects.

Bear in mind there are some dependencies that are simply not a realistic option to re-write. We evidently need a [tc]sh, we're going to need a pthreads implementation, and other things. Wherever these come from that already exist, and hopefully work(!), will save significant amount of time over writing everything from scratch, unless I'm misunderstanding your point here? OO as a large project has a good number of dependencies, none of which I think should arbitrarilt be 'replaced' because they're external. Virtually ever open source project has some 'external' dependencies. We should, however, if given the option, designate a specific version or version range for internal build work and porting efforts however, so as not to overly complicate (or break!) things.. Scott

I think the point was that _some_ things can be easier to re-write than to port their dependancies. Example: If getopt is used in only 1 place and only to parse the commanline parameters to the main OOo binary, it may well be easier to rewrite the argument parser than to port getopt(). (Besides which, I have written an argument parser which I find to be superior to getopt in almost all cases :o)
OO as a large project has a good number of dependencies, none of which I think should arbitrarilt be 'replaced' because they're external.
Agreed. Dependencies should not be replaced without due investigation and discussion.
Virtually ever open source project has some 'external' dependencies. We should, however, if given the option, designate a specific version or version range for internal build work and porting efforts however, so as not to overly complicate (or break!) things..
This is usually a good idea. Many projects (including OOo) designate specific versions for their dependencies - even if they are native dependencies. -Peter aka. Archprogrammer Reality is for people who cannot face ScienceFiction. Only lefthanded people are in their right minds.

Well the first programming one must of done, because they've already marked it and I got 100% :-D Yesterday's went pretty well too, my revision was pretty much spot on, there were a couple of really nasty questions at the end, but I think I have passed with a decent grade.

I'm able to put actually 2-3 hours per day inside the week at maximum, depending on how long I have actually coded already at work. Weekend is no problem, when I'm at home I also have time to code. I have experience in C and lots of script languages like PHP, Perl, Python etc. Also as being an Oracle DBA I have very good knowledge about RDBMS systems, mainly Oracle (surprise ;) but any other DB is no problem at all. Except for GUI coding I would say I could take almost any part or module to work on, however I lack C++ knowledge, and this seems to be a problem as OO is coded in C++, so I really have no idea if it makes sense to contribute here without C++ knowledge.

It's more a kind of technical advisor position ;) Say we need to port xyz, but there are different approuches possible, you could provide technical argumentation why approuch A is better then B but worse then C.
Is there really the need to make this any official? I mean, if in doubt someone would ask Thomas or me anyway about our opinion?
It's more of a transparency thing, if there's an official everyone knows his/her word will, together with the rest of management, be final. It's open to discussion tho ---- Amon_Re Ochal Christophe Webmaster for: http://www.kefren.be http://www.metalfest.be http://amigadev.amigaworld.net

Sorry, my time is extremely limited, and I'd rather spend it on productive work than management... What exactly would the position "coding support" include ?

Hi all, Here's my proposal for a Mission Statement: "Amiga OpenOffice.org is a project to make OpenOffice.org available for AmigaOS. The project's team consists of members from the Amiga Community, who will realize the project in their spare time. Our main focus is AmigaOS4, but we welcome everyone that can contribute to the project, whether she uses AmigaOS4, AmigaOS 3.x, AROS or MorphOS." It's a tweaked version of the one that Amon_Re wrote down. I'd like to make some remarks on several bits of information it contains. - The first sentence defines our purpose. - The first sentence in itself also contains a name for the project: 'Amiga OpenOffice.org'. Although it is also used in Amon_Re's proposal, it's not official yet AFAIK so consider that a proposal on its own. - The second sentence describes who we are. It also contains a key-value concerning the nature of the project: it being a part-time effort. - I left out the 'Help us make it real, join now!'. More help is of course welcome, but it's not our mission to get more help IMO. Shortly after the IRC sessions I want to inform the outside world about the formation of the management team, the mission statement and what else will be worth mentioning at that time. I consider such a news item a good vessel to invite people to join. Kind regards, Rincewynd Peter Molenaar

Thanks. That one actually had me confused not being a native English speaker, especially after some discussion about that started yesterday. Forgot to mention that in my mail (blame it on either lack of caffeine or on ZeroHero :-)). Kind regards, RinceWynd Peter Molenaar

Let's put it this way. Since noone else is offering to help (including EntilZha, but I can understand why he is reluctant :-( ), it's either you or noone. If you, we have a chance. If noone, we don't. :-P Ole-Egil -- We'll burn that bridge when we get there.

What we should do is now start to look into is what are the runtime dependencies for OOo, what are the dependencies for cross-compilation & what are the dependencies for native compilation.

I will check out the sources of OOo 1.9.m69 as soon as I have GNU/Linux up and running (sould be within a day or two). Then I will have a look at the sources. I have now subscribed to dev@porting.openoffice.org (so I don't have to look at the archives all the time).

I have SOMETHING, allright. But at that moment, I didn't know 1.9.m69 would be the best candidate, so I don't think I have that ;-) I have HEAD from last friday. I'm just using it as a reference, and for the libs, though. So it's no biggie for me. I can download it all again if I have to.
