on how to contribute to the project, we will look on different aspects:
code/patch contributions, legal aspects access to resources of the Projects
(Website, Issue Tracker, etc) CVS access and branches, Tinderboxes,
build-bots The OpenOffice.org development process differs in several
aspects from usual Open Source habits of other projects. The session will
explain the OpenOffice.org development style. In detail we will have a look

          <p><i>Abstract:</i>
This session is aimed at explaining and discovering the benefits of ODF for
the OpenOffice.org community. The community itself is pretty much unaware
of ODF, its importance to the worldwide communities, because ODF and Open
Standards were never explained to them in &quot;their own words&quot; and
in a way the reality of open standards can be expressed clearly to them.
This session will thus attempt to integrate arguments and facts about ODF
inside the framework of native-language projects, marketing project, etc.

          <p><i>Abstract:</i>
The user experience project (ux.openoffice.org) started in January 2007
with the intention to improve the usefulness and usability of
OpenOffice.org for our users. Therefore we need to learn and understand how
OpenOffice.org is actually used. We took the opportunity to meet with
employees of VBG (a large accident insurance company in Germany which
migrated to Linux and OpenOffice.org) and conducted several workshops to
gain unfiltered insights into real life working contexts. The requirements
engineering was done using a synergy effect with a parallel usability
project between VBG and UID, in which more than 200 on-site interviews were
done and served as initial input for our research.

attitude and the ability for pragmatic decisions let him contribute to the
success of the projects. As Manager Consulting &amp; Training at UID it is
his mission to bridge the gap between theory and reality. Maren

When you take the source of OpenOffice, you discover the pleasure of 200
modules dispatched for a total of 1 billions of bytes of plain text of
source code, sometimes commented in german. This session will teach you how
to get into OpenOffice pragmatically and efficiently, in order to fix a
precise issue. You will learn how to find quickly the source code directly
attached to a particular functionality and how to use efficiently the
majority of APIs. The session will be supported by full and concrete

Case Study: OpenOffice.org Guerrilla Advertising in the New York Metro
Newspaper

Benjamin Horst (Marketing Volunteer / Freelance)</p>
      </div>
      <div class="content">
          <p><i>Abstract:</i>
In the summer of 2006, I emulated the Firefox advertising campaign in a
major NYC publication. Raising donations online and working with the Metro
newspaper, we created a back page ad promoting OOo to New York City
readers. Small projects like this can be replicated around the world, with
little central coordination, to raise brand awareness and usage of
OpenOffice.org. We maintained a project website and archive at (an excerpt
follows): http://homepage.mac.com/bhorst/ Following the trail blazed by
Firefox, we posted an advertisement for OpenOffice.org in the free daily
newspaper &quot;Metro&quot; in New York City. We qualified for non-profit
prices and therefore got a lot of bang for the buck. Each weekday, 330,000
free copies of Metro are distributed to commuters in the five boroughs.
Roughly 450,000 people read it, and they represent a young, affluent and
savvy demographic. 1. Discussion is carried out in the OpenOffice Ads
Action Google Group. 2. Collection was completed successfully, and the ad
ran on Monday, July 31, 2006. You can download a PDF of the Metro issue,
and see the ad on the back page. (Click on July 31 in the calendar, then
press the &quot;Get Your Metro&quot; button, and it'll download for you.)
3. You can still donate directly to OpenOffice.org.

While the OpenOffice.org Writer application provides a simple yet powerful
writing environment, the underlying OpenDocument XML format (ODF) in which
the documents are stored provides opportunities for document portability,
reuse and integration with other systems and workflows. By supporting
integration with the ODF format, the eZ Publish content management system
(CMS) enables collaborative document production, simple website updates and
multi-channel publishing (including XHTML, RDF and PDF). This talk will
describe the eZ Publish ODF import / export extension, demonstrate how the

Illuminata is a small IT advisory firm with a long-standing publishing
business. Over the past several years, we have shifted from FrameMaker to
OpenOffice.org as the basis for our publishing process, substantially
increasing the degree of automation in the process. This case study talk
will describe how we did it, and explain many lessons learned along the
way.

The price is high! Is it too high?

      <div class="content">
          <p><i>Abstract:</i>
When we have decided to keep the UNO (the C++ and Java runtime) and the
office API compatible, we were probably not really aware of the long term
influence on our daily development work and especially the quality and the
usability of the API. The experiences of the last years have shown that is
impossible to design perfect API's in the first shot. Well we have
introduced some help mechanism like the “published” keyword to mark API's
as potential candidates for changes. But even with this mechanism the
compatibility statement is a huge burden. The price is high and the costs
are on the side of the project. The question is if the price is maybe to
high and if this compatibility statement prevent us to be flexible enough
in the future. This session should try to answer this question or at least
should inspire to think about it. Potential ways for the future should be
analyzed in consideration of costs for our customers and our developers on
one side and innovation and better, simpler and more intuitive
programmability features on the other side.
