Thanks! Can't say enough about how helpful your tutorials are. You explain things and show us, and go slow enough for me to keep up but fast enough that I don't drift off.

I searched the web for a long time, and couldn't find out why importing .odt files into Scribus seemed to cause strange behavior. You totally answered my question here! Thank you.

Hi Dai,

I have really enjoyed the Scribus series, I have watched all of them, I was just wondering if you were planning to do one on linked text boxes, if someone wants to import a large text file into to Scribus it would need to be in several text boxes, which must have implications for editing and formating etc.

Thanks

Andrew.

Educating the Open-source Community With Showmedo

Although as important as the software it supports, education and documentation are relatively neglected in the Open-source world. Coders love to code, and explaining how best to use or improve the software tends to be deferred or even sidelined.

At Showmedo we believe the community can play a vital role here and also say thanks for the tools and software that make our lives easier. If you have a piece of software you love or a programming langugage you are enthusiastic about, why not make a screencast showing others how to use it? All the stuff you wish you'd been told, the tips, tricks, insights that would have saved you time and frustration.

Screencasting is easier than you think, and we're happy to help you. You can emailus for advice or just use some of the how-to screencasts on the site. This screencasting learning-pathis a good place to start.

Kudos and Thanks for Dai
Import from Google Docs To OpenOffice

Hi Dai,

Yes, your new mic is great. It is much clearer and less noisy. I don't know where you record your videos, but the acoustic is slightly reverberant. You can fix this with a bit of sound deadening, probably fitted to the wall behind you, but it depends on the room. This stops reflected sound being received by the mic and would make the sound even better, but hey, a great improvement anyway. BTW, thanks for the videos, they are really useful!

Creating Relationships

This one was good also. However, the list of fields that he shows within his "Appointments" in this tutorial has more then what he showed and did in his prior exercise. I remember seeing the entire list of fields in the overview video so I used that to guide me to add the missing fields in order to follow his instructions on this exercise. Could get confusing for some people.... Thanks again! -Ron

Hi Dai,

We're working with openoffice and google docs in english language (our native language is Basque). We aim to use the videos so students can listen to native english speakers and put into practice what they see. Thank you for your great job !!
