will install a free alternative to Microsoft&amp;#8217;s Office 
suite&amp;#8230;, OpenOffice, on 41,000 computers due to be distributed to 
schools across the state by the end of 2008&amp;#8230; &amp;#8220;For the first

limit the application to the supposedly dull office bucket.  Graphical

on?</title>
+               <link 
href="http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS/entry/a_pim_for_openoffice_org"/>
+               <id>tag:google.com,2005:reader/item/749fa31837cb01fe</id>
+               <updated>2008-04-09T07:42:45+00:00</updated>
+               <content type="html">In 2006, a Personal Information Manager 
(PIM) has been added to the roadmap of &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/&quot;&gt;OpenOffice.org&lt;/a&gt;. Users 
constantly asked for this feature, and it's still seen as a key missing piece 
towards a full OpenSource Office solution. The PIM targets to complete 
OpenOffice.org's productivity offering by providing an integrated E-Mail, 
calendaring and addressbook client. The &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2007/programme/wednesday_186.pdf&quot;&gt;roadmap
 presented at OOoCon 2007&lt;/a&gt; lists it as one of the highlights of the 
upcoming OpenOffice.org 3.0 release.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what has 
happened and is going on in this project, what's the current status?&lt;br 
/&gt;Back in 2006, a team of Sun's &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.sun.com/staroffice/&quot;&gt;StarOffice&lt;/a&gt; 
engineers joined the &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/&quot;&gt;Mozilla Calendar 
Project&lt;/a&gt; in order to improve and contribute to its products: &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/&quot;&gt;Lightning&lt;/a&gt;,
 a calendaring add-on for &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozillamessaging.com/&quot;&gt;Thunderbird&lt;/a&gt; and 
&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/&quot;&gt;Sunbird&lt;/a&gt;,
 a standalone calendar client (sharing the same &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/calendar/&quot;&gt;code 
base&lt;/a&gt;). Especially Thunderbird/Lightning seems to perfectly fit the 
needs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Thunderbird is widely adopted and the de 
facto number #1 OS E-Mail client.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;All major platforms of 
OpenOffice.org are covered.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Almost all locales of 
OpenOffice.org are supported.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;There's a vibrant 
community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;By now, we have 
contributed to several releases of Lightning and Sunbird. Not only in terms of 
code – but also in terms of feature and roadmap planning, user interface 
design, testing and release engineering. We first focussed on improving the 
core product(s) rather than an integration story with OpenOffice.org, 
implementing features, but also fixing bloody bugs.&lt;br /&gt;The product(s) 
already offer a pretty decent feature set like nice event and task handling, a 
&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:Lightning:Screenshots#Mail_Mode_with_Today_Pane&quot;&gt;today
 pane&lt;/a&gt; for Thunderbird, popup alarms, good timezone support, E-Mail 
based invitations, support for various remote protocols, e.g. &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://rfc.net/rfc2518.html&quot;&gt;WebDAV&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://rfc.net/rfc2445.html&quot;&gt;ics&lt;/a&gt; files), &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4791&quot;&gt;CalDAV&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Calendar_Access_Protocol&quot;&gt;WCAP&lt;/a&gt;
 (&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.sun.com/software/products/calendar_srvr/index.xml&quot;&gt;Sun
 Java System Calendar Server&lt;/a&gt;) or &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://calendar.google.com/&quot;&gt;Google Calendar&lt;/a&gt;. With 
the latest &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/releases/lightning0.8.html&quot;&gt;Lightning
 0.8&lt;/a&gt;, a new &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:Lightning:Screenshots#Task_Mode&quot;&gt;task
 mode&lt;/a&gt; has been added, providing fine-grained control over 
tasks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What I like most on Thunderbird/Lightning 
is to have both E-Mail and an aggregrate of all my various calendars in one 
application: public holiday calendars, my Sun work calendars and all people I 
am subscribed to, my private calendar, my wife's Google calendar, the team's 
calendar...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check it out! It's certainly not final, but 
we &lt;a 
href=&quot;news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.support.calendar&quot;&gt;like to 
know&lt;/a&gt; what you think about it. Moreover if you have fresh ideas about 
an integration with OpenOffice.org or want to help another way, &lt;a 
href=&quot;news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.apps.calendar&quot;&gt;let us 
know&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

+A PIM for OpenOffice.org – What's going on?</a>
+</h3>
+<p>
+In 2006, a Personal Information Manager (PIM) has been added to the roadmap of 
<a href="http://www.openoffice.org/";>OpenOffice.org</a>. Users constantly asked 
for this feature, and it's still seen as a key missing piece towards a full 
OpenSource Office solution. The PIM targets to complete OpenOffice.org's 
productivity offering by providing an integrated E-Mail, calendaring and 
addressbook client. The <a 
href="http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2007/programme/wednesday_186.pdf";>roadmap
 presented at OOoCon 2007</a> lists it as one of the highlights of the upcoming 
OpenOffice.org 3.0 release.<br /><br />So, what has happened and is going on in 
this project, what's the current status?<br />Back in 2006, a team of Sun's <a 
href="http://www.sun.com/staroffice/";>StarOffice</a> engineers joined the <a 
href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/";>Mozilla Calendar Project</a> 
in order to improve and contribute to its products: <a 
href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/";>Lightning</a>, a 
calendaring add-on for <a 
href="http://www.mozillamessaging.com/";>Thunderbird</a> and <a 
href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/";>Sunbird</a>, a 
standalone calendar client (sharing the same <a 
href="http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/calendar/";>code base</a>). 
Especially Thunderbird/Lightning seems to perfectly fit the needs:<br 
/><ul><li>Thunderbird is widely adopted and the de facto number #1 OS E-Mail 
client.</li><li>All major platforms of OpenOffice.org are 
covered.</li><li>Almost all locales of OpenOffice.org are 
supported.</li><li>There's a vibrant community.<br /></li></ul><p>By now, we 
have contributed to several releases of Lightning and Sunbird. Not only in 
terms of code – but also in terms of feature and roadmap planning, user 
interface design, testing and release engineering. We first focussed on 
improving the core product(s) rather than an integration story with 
OpenOffice.org, implementing features, but also fixing bloody bugs.<br />The 
product(s) already offer a pretty decent feature set like nice event and task 
handling, a <a 
href="http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:Lightning:Screenshots#Mail_Mode_with_Today_Pane";>today
 pane</a> for Thunderbird, popup alarms, good timezone support, E-Mail based 
invitations, support for various remote protocols, e.g. <a 
href="http://rfc.net/rfc2518.html";>WebDAV</a> (<a 
href="http://rfc.net/rfc2445.html";>ics</a> files), <a 
href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4791";>CalDAV</a>, <a 
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Calendar_Access_Protocol";>WCAP</a> (<a 
href="http://www.sun.com/software/products/calendar_srvr/index.xml";>Sun Java 
System Calendar Server</a>) or <a href="http://calendar.google.com/";>Google 
Calendar</a>. With the latest <a 
href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/releases/lightning0.8.html";>Lightning
 0.8</a>, a new <a 
href="http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:Lightning:Screenshots#Task_Mode";>task 
mode</a> has been added, providing fine-grained control over tasks.<br 
/></p><p>What I like most on Thunderbird/Lightning is to have both E-Mail and 
an aggregrate of all my various calendars in one application: public holiday 
calendars, my Sun work calendars and all people I am subscribed to, my private 
calendar, my wife's Google calendar, the team's calendar...<br /><br />Check it 
out! It's certainly not final, but we <a 
href="news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.support.calendar";>like to know</a> what 
you think about it. Moreover if you have fresh ideas about an integration with 
OpenOffice.org or want to help another way, <a 
href="news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.apps.calendar";>let us know</a>.<br

+       <content:encoded>In 2006, a Personal Information Manager (PIM) has been 
added to the roadmap of &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/&quot;&gt;OpenOffice.org&lt;/a&gt;. Users 
constantly asked for this feature, and it's still seen as a key missing piece 
towards a full OpenSource Office solution. The PIM targets to complete 
OpenOffice.org's productivity offering by providing an integrated E-Mail, 
calendaring and addressbook client. The &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2007/programme/wednesday_186.pdf&quot;&gt;roadmap
 presented at OOoCon 2007&lt;/a&gt; lists it as one of the highlights of the 
upcoming OpenOffice.org 3.0 release.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what has 
happened and is going on in this project, what's the current status?&lt;br 
/&gt;Back in 2006, a team of Sun's &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.sun.com/staroffice/&quot;&gt;StarOffice&lt;/a&gt; 
engineers joined the &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/&quot;&gt;Mozilla Calendar 
Project&lt;/a&gt; in order to improve and contribute to its products: &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/&quot;&gt;Lightning&lt;/a&gt;,
 a calendaring add-on for &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozillamessaging.com/&quot;&gt;Thunderbird&lt;/a&gt; and 
&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/&quot;&gt;Sunbird&lt;/a&gt;,
 a standalone calendar client (sharing the same &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/calendar/&quot;&gt;code 
base&lt;/a&gt;). Especially Thunderbird/Lightning seems to perfectly fit the 
needs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Thunderbird is widely adopted and the de 
facto number #1 OS E-Mail client.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;All major platforms of 
OpenOffice.org are covered.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Almost all locales of 
OpenOffice.org are supported.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;There's a vibrant 
community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;By now, we have 
contributed to several releases of Lightning and Sunbird. Not only in terms of 
code – but also in terms of feature and roadmap planning, user interface 
design, testing and release engineering. We first focussed on improving the 
core product(s) rather than an integration story with OpenOffice.org, 
implementing features, but also fixing bloody bugs.&lt;br /&gt;The product(s) 
already offer a pretty decent feature set like nice event and task handling, a 
&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:Lightning:Screenshots#Mail_Mode_with_Today_Pane&quot;&gt;today
 pane&lt;/a&gt; for Thunderbird, popup alarms, good timezone support, E-Mail 
based invitations, support for various remote protocols, e.g. &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://rfc.net/rfc2518.html&quot;&gt;WebDAV&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://rfc.net/rfc2445.html&quot;&gt;ics&lt;/a&gt; files), &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4791&quot;&gt;CalDAV&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Calendar_Access_Protocol&quot;&gt;WCAP&lt;/a&gt;
 (&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.sun.com/software/products/calendar_srvr/index.xml&quot;&gt;Sun
 Java System Calendar Server&lt;/a&gt;) or &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://calendar.google.com/&quot;&gt;Google Calendar&lt;/a&gt;. With 
the latest &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/releases/lightning0.8.html&quot;&gt;Lightning
 0.8&lt;/a&gt;, a new &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:Lightning:Screenshots#Task_Mode&quot;&gt;task
 mode&lt;/a&gt; has been added, providing fine-grained control over 
tasks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What I like most on Thunderbird/Lightning 
is to have both E-Mail and an aggregrate of all my various calendars in one 
application: public holiday calendars, my Sun work calendars and all people I 
am subscribed to, my private calendar, my wife's Google calendar, the team's 
calendar...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check it out! It's certainly not final, but 
we &lt;a

+       <description>&lt;p&gt;Erwin Tenhumberg points out that &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://blogs.sun.com/dancer/entry/openoffice_org_on_41_000&quot;&gt;OpenOffice.org
 will be installed on 41,000 computers in schools in New South Wales, 
Australia&lt;/a&gt; this year.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;He discovered it via Computerworld New Zealand&amp;#8217;s article, 
&amp;#8220;&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/news/FE73A77E2BB96F21CC257425007DCB21&quot;&gt;NSW
 Education Downgrades Microsoft Deal&lt;/a&gt;:&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Technology chief Stephen Wilson announced the department 
will install a free alternative to Microsoft&amp;#8217;s Office 
suite&amp;#8230;, OpenOffice, on 41,000 computers due to be distributed to 
schools across the state by the end of 2008&amp;#8230; &amp;#8220;For the first 
time we&amp;#8217;re going to install OpenOffice on every computer under our 
Technology 4 Learning programme,&amp;#8221; he says.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;In addition, they have been replacing Vista with Windows XP on new 
machines they purchase, most likely in order to get more out of cheaper 
hardware and to avoid software incompatibilities with programs they are 
running.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 Graphics Meeting&lt;/a&gt; is to be held this year in Wroclaw, Poland, from 
8-11 May. I cannot make it, but I did attend last year's and it was a great 
event.  OOo doesn't really focus on graphics, but it can: there is no reason to 
limit the application to the supposedly dull office bucket.  Graphical 
applications, moreover, can include works such as &lt;a

href=&quot;http://www.blender.org/&quot;&gt;Blender&lt;/a&gt;, and with our own 
Draw gaining prominence and importance, it makes sense to form tighter liaisons 
with these and other free graphical projects. After all, we all want to give 
all users, everywhere, the power and freedom (and aren't they linked?) to 
create.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Help support LGM 2008. Make a
