Li Gong's Blog - Mozilla Manifesto Chinese Translation

A couple of month back Rachel Zhang of Sun Microsystems in China volunteered an initial translation of Mitchell’s Mozilla Manifesto and posted it on my blog. After planning this for quite some time, this week Rachel and I finally sat down for a few hours and together we went again and again over the original text and revised the translation substantially. We still feel that the result could be further enhanced but decided to put this version 0.2 out for now. We invite comment and feedback and will work on it again at a later time. I have enclosed the (Simplified) Chinese version below; and for ease of reference and propogation, I also enclosed a PDF file here that includes both the original English text and our translation (Mozilla Manifestor Chinese Translation v0.2 (2007.10.17)) Finally, rumor has it that Bob Chao in Taipei is going to produce a Traditional Chinese version. I will link to it as soon as it is available.

Now the translated text.

引言

 

互联网作为人们生活的一部分，其重要性日益增加。

 

Mozilla是一个全球化的社区。社区成员们坚信开放，创新，和机遇是互联网持续健康发展的关键因素。作为一个社区，我们从1998年开始为确保互联网的发展造福所有用户而共同努力。我们因创作Mozilla Firefox网络浏览器而广为人知。

 

Mozilla基于社区创建世界一流的开放源代码软件，并且开拓各种新式的合作活动。我们志同道合，致力于改善广大互联网用户的上网体验。

 

通过共同努力，我们总结出一系列准则并相信它们是保证公共利益和商业活动能够受益于互联网的决定性因素。我们在以下的Mozilla宣言里列出这些准则。

 

这些准则并非自行可以实现的。互联网的开放和参与需要大家的个人努力，团队协作，和发挥领导作用。Mozilla基金会承诺推行Mozilla宣言里制定的准则。我们邀请更多的同仁加入我们，共同奋斗使互联网变得更好。

 

准则

 

1. 互联网是现代生活不可分割的一部分，是教育，交流，合作，商业，娱乐，以及整体社会的关键组成部分。

2. 互联网是全球公共资源，必须保证开放性和可用性。

3. 互联网应该丰富人类生活。

4. 用户的网络安全是基本要求，不可忽视。

5. 互联网用户必须能够按照个人意愿决定如何使用互联网。

6. 作为公共资源的互联网其有效性取决于在网络协议，数据格式，以及内容上的互联互通，创新，和世界各地用户的自主参与。

7. 自由和开放源代码软件有助于互联网作为公共资源的持续发展。

8. 透明的社区流程有利于提升社区的可参与性，责任制，和诚信度。

9. 互联网发展过程中的商业化参与有众多优点。维持商业目标和公共利益之间的平衡至关重要。

10. 扩展互联网的公共利益层面是一个非常重要的目标，值得我们赋予时间、精力，和承诺。

 

推行Mozilla宣言

 

推行Mozilla宣言里的准则有多种途径。我们欢迎广泛的活动并期待参与者发挥像在Mozilla其他项目中那样的创造性。对于尚未深入参与Mozilla项目的个人，支持宣言的最简单而

有效的办法就是使用Mozilla Firefox以及其他体现Mozilla宣言准则的产品。

 

Mozilla基金会的承诺

 

Mozilla基金会承诺支持Mozilla宣言。具体地，我们将会：

 

* 建立和支持符合宣言准则的开放源码技术和社区；

* 开发符合宣言准则的优秀消费类产品；

* 利用Mozilla在知识产权（诸如版权和商标），组织机构，资金，和声誉等方面的资产使互联网保持为开放的平台；

* 提倡为公共利益创造经济价值的模式；并且

* 在公共言论中和互联网业界推广Mozilla宣言。

 

Mozilla基金会的部分活动，目前包括消费类产品的研发和推广，主要通过基金会全资子公司Mozilla公司进行。

 

邀请

 

Mozilla基金会邀请所有支持Mozilla宣言准则的同仁一起探索，将宣言里对互联网的构想变为现实。

OpenOffice.org 2.3正式版日前修正了一个新图表模块日文版中选择图表类型时界面上的一个小瑕疵：
OOG680_m6

这主要源于日文版本本地化时字符数过多，对中文版无任何影响，中文版截图参考如下（MS Windows中文版经过验证也不存在此问题）：

所以大家现在可以放心使用稳定版本的OpenOffice.org 2.3，无需专门再进行一次升级。

MPlayer 1.0rc2于日前发布：

2007-10-07, Sunday :: MPlayer 1.0rc2 released
posted by the release team

It's been a while, but we are still around and have decided that it's time to funnel our steady stream of daily changes into a release again.

One main source of improvements has, as always, been FFmpeg, which added support for several new video and audio codecs along with speedups and massive code cleanups.

MPlayer now supports Real RTSP authentication and the libnemesi streaming library as an alternative to live555. Also, many QuickTime over RTSP streams can now be played. There have been various improvements to TV streaming, Intel Mac support should be complete.

Support for VC-1 in MPEG-TS and MPEG-PS will make many HDTV streams work. Blu-ray or HD-DVD playback is not possible yet, but MPlayer can play the EVO files after they have been decrypted.

MPlayer now assumes square pixels as found on LCD panels. If the video on your monitor appears squished or stretched please use '-monitoraspect 4:3' to get back the previous behavior.

It is no longer necessary to patch the sources to get AMR audio support. Instead, download AMR libraries for Linux and install them as described on that page.

Note that this release will not compile on current (as of this writing) Cygwin versions due to a missing llrint implementation in Cygwin. You will have to wait for the next gcc upgrade in Cygwin or patch either Cygwin or MPlayer locally.

There is no need to download binary codec packages if you already have an older version.
MPlayer 1.0rc2: "AreWeThereYet?"

FileZilla 3.0.0 has been released
Posted By: botg
Date: 2007-09-10 09:57
Summary: FileZilla 3.0.0 has been released

FileZilla is a fast FTP and SFTP client for Windows with a lot of features. FileZilla Server is a reliable FTP server.
 
 
The long wait is over, I'm proud to announce the release of FileZilla 3.0.0. You can download the new version here:  
 
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client
 
The primary new feature of 3.0.0 is the ability to run under multiple platforms. FileZilla 3 does not only run under Windows, but also under Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X and many more. In addition, the internals of FileZilla have been streamlined and modernized.
 
To accomplish this, FileZilla 3 has been completely rewritten from scratch during the past three and a half years.
 
Unfortunately not all features currently implemented in the old 2.x versions could make it into 3.0.0. However most of them will be implemented in a future version. In addition, FileZilla 2 and 3 can coexist on the same system in case you depend on a feature currently in 2.x
 
As usual, please report all bugs with the new version in the bug tracker.

IBM加入OpenOffice.org社区
IBM JOINS OPENOFFICE.ORG COMMUNITY
IBM joins the OpenOffice.org community to develop and promote OpenOffice.org technology

*Questions and Answers

10 September 2007 -- The OpenOffice.org community today announced that IBM will be joining the community to collaborate on the development of OpenOffice.org software. IBM will be making initial code contributions that it has been developing as part of its Lotus Notes product, including accessibility enhancements, and will be making ongoing contributions to the feature richness and code quality of OpenOffice.org. Besides working with the community on the free productivity suite's software, IBM will also leverage OpenOffice.org technology in its products.

"In the seven years since Sun founded the project, OpenOffice.org has fueled and filled the need for document data and productivity tools that are open and free. Open source software and ODF are having a profound impact around the world, with numerous communities and organizations coming together to support these initiatives and governments, and corporations and schools standardizing on the software. We look forward to working with IBM and the other members of OpenOffice.org to ensure that this momentum continues. We invite others to join us in the community and participate in building the future as OpenOffice.org and ODF continue to gain popularity across the planet,” said Rich Green, Executive Vice President, Software at Sun Microsystems, Inc.

"IBM is very pleased to be joining the OpenOffice.org community. We are very optimistic that IBM's contribution of technology and engineering resources will provide tangible benefits to the community membership and to users of OpenOffice.org technology around the world,” said Mike Rhodin, General Manager of IBM's Lotus division. "We're particularly pleased to be teaming with the community to accelerate the rate of innovation in the office productivity marketplace. We believe that this relationship will improve our ability to deliver innovative value to users of IBM products and services. We also believe that the collaboration will lead to an even broader range of ODF-supporting applications (ISO 26300) and solutions that draw from the OpenOffice.org technology."

“This is great news for the tens of millions of users of OpenOffice.org and the thousands of individual members of the project”, said John McCreesh, OpenOffice.org Marketing Project Lead. “We welcome IBM's contributions to further enhancing the OpenOffice.org product. But equally important is IBM's future commitment to package and distribute new works that leverage OpenOffice.org technology supporting the ISO ODF standard. ODF is a once in a generation opportunity for the IT industry to unify round a standard, and deliver lasting benefit to users of desktop technology.”

Others involved in the project or distributing the code were equally enthusiastic about IBM"s step.

Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu, the Linux distribution, said, "We are excited about IBM joining Sun and other contributors to the OpenOffice.org community in pushing development of OpenOffice.org and the OpenDocument Format. We are firmly committed to help set, drive and promote open standards like the ODF world-wide to free all users from any dependency on single vendors and proprietary software. The OpenOffice.org community is showing that it is possible for large, competing companies to collaborate and deliver extraordinary value to all of their users." OpenOffice.org is distributed with Ubuntu.

And Hu Caiyong, CEO of Beijing's Redflag Chinese 2000 Software Co., Ltd., whose company contributes significant resources to OpenOffice.org, stated, "We acclaim IBM as a welcome contributor to the OpenOffice.org community! It's great to have such a strong partner on our side, one which, with its extraordinary technical expertise and marketing power, will help drive this project so important to free software and open standards. We are looking forward to a truly productive partnership and harmonious collaboration with IBM, Sun and other contributors on OpenOffice.org."

Scott Crenshaw, Red Hat's Vice President of Enterprise Linux, agreed: "IBM continues to show their commitment to the proliferation of open-source software and we applaud them on joining the OpenOffice.org community. We look forward to continuing our strong relationship with IBM as we work toward a common goal of bringing value to our customers and fostering the adoption of open standards and ODF."

OpenOffice.org® is the leading open-source productivity suite. It includes word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing, database, and other modules; it uses the ODF as its native file format as well as fully supporting other common file formats (including Microsoft Office).

一个关于标准的消息，OOXML未通过ISO投票，消息参考：
Pavel Janik — OOXML has not achieved the required number of votes for approval
Vote closes on draft ISO/IEC DIS 29500 standard

A ballot on whether to publish the draft standard ISO/IEC DIS 29500, Information technology – Office Open XML file formats, as an International Standard by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) has not achieved the required number of votes for approval.

The five-month ballot process ended on 2 September and was open to the IEC and ISO national member bodies from 104 countries, including 41 that are participating members of the joint ISO/IEC technical committee, JTC 1, Information technology.

Approval requires at least 2/3 (i.e. 66.66 %) of the votes cast by national bodies participating in ISO/IEC JTC 1 to be positive; and no more than 1/4 (i.e. 25 %) of the total number of national body votes cast negative. Neither of these criteria were achieved, with 53 % of votes cast by national bodies participating in ISO/IEC JTC 1 being positive and 26 % of national votes cast being negative.

Comments that accompanied the votes will be discussed at a ballot resolution meeting (BRM) to be organized by the relevant subcommittee of ISO/IEC JTC 1 (SC 34, Document description and processing languages) in February 2008 in Geneva, Switzerland.

据OpenOffice.org wiki的条目OOoRelease23：

#  release candidate for all languages: August 31st, 2007
# Product release: September 12-13th, 2007

虽然发布候选版本晚了一些，但本月中下旬OpenOffice.org应该会如期发布2007年的重大版本2.3，中国Office标准UOF过滤器也将会在后续版本中予以集成。

明确一下需求吧：
　　一是：需要一个支持数据库的主机，并且支持PHP执行，ASP是微软的东西，也可以，不过似乎不太合适。主机最好比较稳定，安全性和性能较好。
　　二是：需要制作一个提交表单的页面和一个显示联盟成员的页面。写的处理程序应该能够防止一些恶意的攻击。最好采用CSS构建页面的显示，这样便于大家更改显示的效果。
　　三是：为了便于管理，比如对已经提交的信息进行修改，可以采用用户注册的形式。不过，这就需要再增加一个管理页面和申请页面。
　　四是：制作一些联盟的LOGO，需要美工人员。
　　还有什么别的，大家也可以帮忙，都弄齐了，CrossBud就可以动手整合了。

Bugzilla发布了四个系列的升级版本
[ 2007 August 23 ] Release of Bugzilla 3.0.1, 3.1.1, 2.22.3, and 2.20.5

Today the Bugzilla project has four releases!
3.0.1

Bugzilla 3.0.1 is the first bug-fix release for the 3.0 series. 3.0 was very stable, but 3.0.1 adds a lot of little polish fixes that greatly improve the experience of using Bugzilla.

    * Download Bugzilla 3.0.1.
    * Read the Release Notes for 3.0.1.

3.1.1

Bugzilla 3.1.1 is our first development release toward Bugzilla 3.2. It has a huge number of new features, but is extremely unstable. It has not been tested, and should not be used in a production environment. It may fail in critical ways, or destroy your data. However, it is useful as a feature preview and for testing purposes.

    * Download Bugzilla 3.1.1
    * See our latest Status Update for a report of what's going on with the Bugzilla Project and a list of new features in 3.1.1.

2.22.3 and 2.20.5

Bugzilla 2.22.3 and Bugzilla 2.20.5 are security-fix and critical bug-fix releases for the 2.22 and 2.20 series. If you are using any 2.22 or 2.20 version, we strongly recommend you update to these versions.

    * Bugzilla 2.20.5: Download and read the Release Notes.
    * Bugzilla 2.22.3: Download and read the Release Notes.

openSUSE News : Aug 09, 18:50 : Announcing openSUSE 10.3 Beta 1
openSUSE 10.3 Beta 1发布了，按计划openSUSE 10.3 Beta 1将于本月23日发布。

Desktop Advances

1-Click Install: As we recently announced, the openSUSE Build Service front-end got a complete makeover and now also utilizes the new One-Click Install technology. This new feature allows you to install applications at the single click of a button. More announcements on the way this is used are to come.

KDE 4: In the early stages of development we noted that openSUSE was to be among the early adopters of KDE 4.0, and we can start to see this coming through in openSUSE 10.3. The latest stable KDE 3.5.7 is included as the default KDE session, but this release also includes some KDE 4 applications (such as KDE games) in by default. All other parts of KDE 4 are directly available in the official online repositories, and of course the KDE 4 repository in the openSUSE Build Service will continue to regularly release snapshots.
New Media Selection

This new release has a few changes in media, which also includes two new CDs: one KDE installation CD, and one GNOME installation CD, so you no longer have to download three CDs to get openSUSE running! See below for more details.

以下消息来自：
回应陈永正：谁开放，谁知道！（上海中标软件有限公司常务副总裁秦勇）

背景介绍：

    上海中标软件有限公司(“中标软件”)参与过多项国内标准的制定工作，早在UOF（中文简称“标文通”）小组成立之前直到现在一直不间断从事办公文件文档格式标准制定和开发等相关工作，并且2004年就开发出了支持UOF标准的办公软件－－中标普华Office(Neoshine Office)，尤其在办公文件开发应用及其文档格式标准化等工作中积累了对办公文档格式标准相关工作的深厚理解。

上海中标软件针对陈永正先生三点看法的一些理解

一、标准应该开放，并非是指要拥护多个标准的共存，尤其是涉及到信息交换的文档格式标准尤其如此。既然中国已经有了UOF国家标准，国际上ISO已经通过了ODF标准，并且两者之间存在一定的相融性，我们看不出需要支持更多标准的理由，这不能简单地被视作国内一些组织的做法，在国际上同样有很强的反对呼声；此外，既然强调标准要开放，在制定OOXML的时候，微软又采取了哪些开放的态度与做法呢？在 OOXML中采用了国际上广泛接受的开放标准吗？在制定OOXML时考虑了在非Windows平台之上如何能全面而完全地实现OOXML的支持吗？需要明确指出的是，大家反对OOXML成为标准，是因为认识到了支持OOXML成为国际标准，才真的是对文档格式的开放性“说不过去”。

二、关于历史文档问题，恰恰是微软封闭文件格式造成的后果。 “微软秉着对用户负责的态度，理当推广OOXML”，其表明的意思就是OOXML无其它可替代方案，要想打开历史文档，必须推广OOXML。但值得注意的是，OpenOffice在世界范围内的通行，以及国产办公软件对有关国际标准和UOF的支持也同样产生大量文档，也不是OOXML本身可以解决的；此外，随着以Linux为代表的开源软件的普及，在Linux上办公的用户越来越多，OOXML在此方面是否做了充分考虑呢？事实是OOXML中依然如同以往文档格式中一样充斥着大量对普通用户和开发者的不透明信息，并且6000多页的文本，除了微软，相信世界上在办公软件领域很难有第二个对OOXML的良好实现。因此，OOXML应该在进一步做出更加开放透明的工作后再来推动其成为国际标准，可能才是对用户、对产业负责的态度，而不应采取到处拉票、游说、甚至给予某种许诺的特殊方式来强推并不完全开放的OOXML。

三、说起转换器，理论上讲是可以实现支持良好的转换的，但现实是只有通过多方的共同配合与努力，才有可能实现良好转换，而且实现 100％的兼容难度极大。需要认真思考的是，如果OOXML与ODF、UOF都能实现良好的转换，那OOXML的存在理由又是什么？目前微软所说的转换器，不过是一个形式而已，离实用还有太大的差距。然而，多一个文档格式标准所带来的巨大的工作量（包括实现该标准、实现不同标准间的转换以及测试验证等），对政府、广大用户、开发者等都会增加了太多的额外消耗，这不是我们所希望看到的。

总之，所有的一切相关工作都应该从结合国际、国内具体情况来定位事物的发展方向。支持OOXML决不能解决国内办公文档问题，也绝对不可能“对中国标准成为国际标准起正面作用”，相反，如果OOXML成为国际标准，只能陡增额外工作，并且带来更多“不开放”的因素。谁真正开放，谁心里知道！

今天OpenOffice.org 2.3的分支OOG680已经生成，这一分支在发布若干个候选版本后将于九月初发布正式的OpenOffice.org 2.3。为更好更及时地给广大泛中华地区Linux用户展示OpenOffice.org最新功能，也为OpenOffice.org的更好更快发展，经申请fiag同意，将于近期开始，与OpenOffice.org社区同步发布简体中文英文多语言版本OpenOffice.org安装程序，敬请大家留意。
Gullfoss — Update: DirectX-based slideshow
Windows的DirectX加速版本OpenOffice.org将不包含在OOo 2.3中，因为OOo 2.3的代码已经冻结了，此功能将集成在下一个发布版本OOo 2.4中。另外，开发者中有提议，这一功能也可能以的形式出现，详情请参见以上博客文章。
