However, few studies have been devoted to determine the reasons for not adopting open source desktop software. In order to address this issue, we present a case study on the Belgian Federal Public Service (FPS) Economy which considered the use of OpenOffice.org, but eventually decided not to adopt OpenOffice.org as their primary office suite. This decision was to a large degree influenced by the fact that a large number of users within the FPS Economy perform dataâintensive tasks such as statistical data analysis and reporting on a daily basis. Notwithstanding the fact that several reasons were actually in favor of the migration, we have identified several barriers that may discourage the use of OpenOffice.org in similar environments.&#8221;</p> -<p>The entire paper is available online at the link above for a detailed reading.</p></content> - <author> - <name>Benjamin Horst</name> - <uri>http://www.solidoffice.com</uri> - </author> - <source> - <title type="html">SolidOffice » OpenOffice.org</title> - <subtitle type="html">Home of The Tiny Guide to OpenOffice.org</subtitle> - <link rel="self" href="http://www.solidoffice.com/archives/category/openofficeorg/feed"/> - <id>http://www.solidoffice.com/archives/category/openofficeorg/feed</id> - <updated>2008-11-14T00:00:37+00:00</updated> + <updated>2008-11-17T18:00:18+00:00</updated> </source> </entry> File [changed]: index.html Url: http://marketing.openoffice.org/source/browse/marketing/www/planet/index.html?r1=1.1183&r2=1.1184 Delta lines: +40 -37 --------------------- --- index.html 2008-11-17 12:00:31+0000 1.1183 +++ index.html 2008-11-17 18:00:29+0000 1.1184 @@ -37,8 +37,45 @@ <a href="rss20.xml"><img src="rss2.gif" alt="Link to RSS 2 feed" /></a> </div> -<p><em>Bloggings on marketing topics by project members - see <a href="#disclaimer">disclaimer</a>.<br />Last updated: November 17, 2008 12:00 PM GMT</em></p> +<p><em>Bloggings on marketing topics by project members - see <a href="#disclaimer">disclaimer</a>.<br />Last updated: November 17, 2008 06:00 PM GMT</em></p> +<h2>November 17, 2008</h2> +<h3> +<a href="http://www.solidoffice.com"; title="SolidOffice » OpenOffice.org"> +Benjamin Horst</a> : +<a href="http://www.solidoffice.com/archives/910";> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wiki Becomes an Official Incubator Project</a> +</h3> +<p> +<p>[EMAIL PROTECTED], Kay Ramme’s wiki project built on OpenOffice and ODF, has been accepted as an official incubator project, <a href="http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS/entry/odf_www_ooo_conf_2008";>Ramme announces</a>.</p> +<p>He presented it at the recently-concluded OpenOffice.org Conference in Beijing and writes, “Since last week [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an Official Incubator Project <img src="http://www.solidoffice.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif"; alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" /> You find it’s home page at <a href="http://odf-at-www.openoffice.org";>http://odf-at-www.openoffice.org</a>.”</p> +<p>Integration with and adoption of Web 2.0 concepts has been an important development strategy for OOo, and this is a strong adaptation of wiki concepts into the familiar word processor paradigm.

However, few studies have been devoted to determine the reasons for not adopting open source desktop software. In order to address this issue, we present a case study on the Belgian Federal Public Service (FPS) Economy which considered the use of OpenOffice.org, but eventually decided not to adopt OpenOffice.org as their primary office suite. This decision was to a large degree influenced by the fact that a large number of users within the FPS Economy perform dataâintensive tasks such as statistical data analysis and reporting on a daily basis. Notwithstanding the fact that several reasons were actually in favor of the migration, we have identified several barriers that may discourage the use of OpenOffice.org in similar environments.&#8221;</p> -<p>The entire paper is available online at the link above for a detailed reading.</p></description> - <pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:43:23 +0000</pubDate> -</item> </channel> </rss> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
