This page can be found on the <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Introducing_Charles">OpenOffice.org wiki</a>.</p> +<p><strong>A few words on Charles-H. Schulz</strong> My name is Charles-H. Schulz and I have been a contributor to the OpenOffice.org project since its 1.0 release. I live in Paris and have been working in several IT-related jobs. Today I run a small consultancy in the fields of Free Software and Open Standards. I&#8217;m not really what you will call a technical person, but at least I know how to use a terminal and, among other things, start OpenOffice.org from there. In fact, I even know how to start it as a server in &#8220;headless&#8221; mode, more accurately. By the way, I&#8217;m running a Fedora 11 on a quad core HP computer as my main machine, a two years-old Mac Book Pro you might see me with if you go to Orvieto, and as of very recently a Samsung with Android on it.</p> +<p>My other areas of interest include litterature, History, philosophy and organic food, among other things.</p> +<p>So why am I writing all this? Because we are in the process of electing some of the future members of the OpenOffice.org, and I&#8217;m running as a candidate in the Native-Language category. The rules of renewal of Council members are a bit complex, but there are different types of possible candidates that may run, and I&#8217;m running in one of them this year. It is the first time I&#8217;m running for the Council.</p> +<p><strong>What does Charles do inside OpenOffice.org?</strong>I&#8217;m doing several things inside OpenOffice.org . I have somewhat of a strange title &#8220;Lead of the Native-Language Confederation&#8221;. It sounds like it belongs to Battlestar Galactica, but it actually is a very OpenOfficeish thing. What this means is I&#8217;m in charge of organizing and helping new and existing communities of OpenOffice.org developers, users, marketers, documentation writers who speak in their own native-language. These communities are called native-language projects. They work with the entire project and are one of the key factors of our success. When I took on that role, they were about 5 of them. Now, they&#8217;re around 100. Serving as a volunteer in that position makes one both a player and a witness of how the OpenOffice.org community works. On the one hand I have a social and administrative task, on the other, one should not stop there: you have to look for more volunteers who may start new projects. That&#8217;s a fascinating job.</p> +<p>I have also done other things inside our community. I was among the founders of the Business Development project (aka bizdev) and I am also very proud to be a co-lead of the o...@www project. It is an incubator project that fiddles with ODF documents online, and allows them to be edited real time on a wiki and inside OpenOffice.org. In fact, this project is very important for the future of OpenOffice.org, and for our final goal, which is world domination.</p> +<p><strong>What would Charles do in the Community Council?</strong>That&#8217;s a good question, isn&#8217;t it? My first duty, as a &#8220;Lang&#8221; representative, would be to represent the worldwide communities of OpenOffice.org. I&#8217;m not going to make promises like a politician, because this is not a campaign: it&#8217;s an information page. So I&#8217;m just going to explain what I think I could do there and how I could help. So my first duty would be to express the point of views of these worldwide communities to the Council, which means explaining their issues, their needs and wants. I will also have to work with the other Lang representative (because there&#8217;s two of us at the Council) and help the Council run our project. I should also try to get a bigger perspective on things, because OpenOffice.org is not just the addition of all the interests of categories, people and organizations that make up the project. It&#8217;s something bigger, more beautiful and more powerful. We are on a mission, and our mission is twofold: make OpenOffice.org one of the best Free Software for the future, and have fun. Because if you don&#8217;t have fun, well, you won&#8217;t even finish reading what I&#8217;m writing. More seriously: The future might be tough. But it&#8217;s going to be exciting, and in the end, I think we&#8217;re going to have a pretty awesome project, a project with a strong basis and foundation, that will genuinely be a great place for its people and its supporters. At least that&#8217;s what I will also try to help with at the Community Council, and I will consider myself satisfied if I remain true to these objectives and to the value of software freedom and true openness.</p> +<p class="akst_link"><a href="http://standardsandfreedom.net/?p=143&akst_action=share-this" title="E-mail this, post to del.icio.us, etc." id="akst_link_143" class="akst_share_link" rel="nofollow">Share This</a> +</p></content> + <author> + <name>Charles Schulz</name> + <uri>http://standardsandfreedom.net</uri> + </author> + <source> + <title type="html">Moved by Freedom - Powered by Standards » OOo Postings</title> + <subtitle type="html">A weblog by Charles-H.

This page can be found on the <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Introducing_Charles">OpenOffice.org wiki</a>.</p> +<p><strong>A few words on Charles-H. Schulz</strong> My name is Charles-H. Schulz and I have been a contributor to the OpenOffice.org project since its 1.0 release. I live in Paris and have been working in several IT-related jobs. Today I run a small consultancy in the fields of Free Software and Open Standards. I&#8217;m not really what you will call a technical person, but at least I know how to use a terminal and, among other things, start OpenOffice.org from there. In fact, I even know how to start it as a server in &#8220;headless&#8221; mode, more accurately. By the way, I&#8217;m running a Fedora 11 on a quad core HP computer as my main machine, a two years-old Mac Book Pro you might see me with if you go to Orvieto, and as of very recently a Samsung with Android on it.</p> +<p>My other areas of interest include litterature, History, philosophy and organic food, among other things.</p> +<p>So why am I writing all this? Because we are in the process of electing some of the future members of the OpenOffice.org, and I&#8217;m running as a candidate in the Native-Language category. The rules of renewal of Council members are a bit complex, but there are different types of possible candidates that may run, and I&#8217;m running in one of them this year. It is the first time I&#8217;m running for the Council.</p> +<p><strong>What does Charles do inside OpenOffice.org?</strong>I&#8217;m doing several things inside OpenOffice.org . I have somewhat of a strange title &#8220;Lead of the Native-Language Confederation&#8221;. It sounds like it belongs to Battlestar Galactica, but it actually is a very OpenOfficeish thing. What this means is I&#8217;m in charge of organizing and helping new and existing communities of OpenOffice.org developers, users, marketers, documentation writers who speak in their own native-language. These communities are called native-language projects. They work with the entire project and are one of the key factors of our success. When I took on that role, they were about 5 of them. Now, they&#8217;re around 100. Serving as a volunteer in that position makes one both a player and a witness of how the OpenOffice.org community works. On the one hand I have a social and administrative task, on the other, one should not stop there: you have to look for more volunteers who may start new projects. That&#8217;s a fascinating job.</p> +<p>I have also done other things inside our community. I was among the founders of the Business Development project (aka bizdev) and I am also very proud to be a co-lead of the o...@www project. It is an incubator project that fiddles with ODF documents online, and allows them to be edited real time on a wiki and inside OpenOffice.org. In fact, this project is very important for the future of OpenOffice.org, and for our final goal, which is world domination.</p> +<p><strong>What would Charles do in the Community Council?</strong>That&#8217;s a good question, isn&#8217;t it? My first duty, as a &#8220;Lang&#8221; representative, would be to represent the worldwide communities of OpenOffice.org. I&#8217;m not going to make promises like a politician, because this is not a campaign: it&#8217;s an information page. So I&#8217;m just going to explain what I think I could do there and how I could help. So my first duty would be to express the point of views of these worldwide communities to the Council, which means explaining their issues, their needs and wants. I will also have to work with the other Lang representative (because there&#8217;s two of us at the Council) and help the Council run our project. I should also try to get a bigger perspective on things, because OpenOffice.org is not just the addition of all the interests of categories, people and organizations that make up the project. It&#8217;s something bigger, more beautiful and more powerful. We are on a mission, and our mission is twofold: make OpenOffice.org one of the best Free Software for the future, and have fun. Because if you don&#8217;t have fun, well, you won&#8217;t even finish reading what I&#8217;m writing. More seriously: The future might be tough. But it&#8217;s going to be exciting, and in the end, I think we&#8217;re going to have a pretty awesome project, a project with a strong basis and foundation, that will genuinely be a great place for its people and its supporters. At least that&#8217;s what I will also try to help with at the Community Council, and I will consider myself satisfied if I remain true to these objectives and to the value of software freedom and true openness.</p> +<p class="akst_link"><a href="http://standardsandfreedom.net/?p=143&akst_action=share-this" title="E-mail this, post to del.icio.us, etc." id="akst_link_143" class="akst_share_link" rel="nofollow">Share This</a> +</p></content:encoded> + <dc:date>2009-10-27T17:29:17+00:00</dc:date> +</item> <item rdf:about="tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198340507565233169.post-5582235102102586981"> <title>Leif Lodahl: November 2009 Newsletter</title> <link>http://lodahl.blogspot.com/2009/10/november-2009-newsletter.html</link> @@ -447,15 +461,5 @@ <dc:date>2009-10-04T22:22:05+00:00</dc:date> <dc:creator>Leif Lodahl</dc:creator> </item> -<item rdf:about="http://www.mealldubh.org/?p=760";> - <title>John McCreesh: Nearly there</title> - <link>http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2009/10/01/nearly-there/</link> - <content:encoded><p>I <a href="http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2009/07/01/ooo-gets-ocs/">blogged at the start of July</a> that we&#8217;d be using <a href="http://pkp.sfu.ca/ocs/">OCS software</a> to organise this year&#8217;s OpenOffice.org Annual Conference (<a href="http://www.ooocon.org/">OOoCon 2009</a>).
