Well, that's the question I was asking for. Louis will interview Eric
very soon, if not done already.
I sent in some questions to Eric.. am waiting :-) Meanwhile....
Erwin, Hirano, Florian or myself will
include something in the newsletter. In the mean time, what Eric is
talking about is not that he has managed to release OOo on MacTel but
that so far the porting is doing much better than expected since he
managed to compile a temporary build of the specific mac version
(Aqua)
on the MacTel platform. So what can be done is to "pollute the waves"
and get cocky and noisy in front of Microsoft; nothing more than that
though, as the public is not interested to know that a developper, as
skilled as he can be, has managed to do this with a temporary
build. The
public wants a release (even a beta), not a wild set of binaries, as
this may be its perception.
Best,
Charles.
I took the liberty of drafting this quick account for the homepage
(of OOo). It's not a press release, which I can also draft (on
[EMAIL PROTECTED]), but will at least alert people. I need to add the
right *robust* urls, for the Mac page and for the downloads.
Flash! OpenOffice.org is proud to announce the first beta of
OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 for Mac OS X (X11) that can run natively on the
newly released Macintosh Intel desktops. No other fully equipped
office suite can claim as much, and ours gives users not just
standards compliance but real interoperability. Led by Éric Bachard,
the team, which includes Eric Hoch, NAKATA Maho, Tino Rachui, Sophie
Gautier, Pavel Janík, David Nedrow, James Mckenzie, Molcan FIlip,
"Mox," and many, many others, the group, which created this version
in very little time indeed, is now eager to move even faster--with
your help. Download the build, test it, participate. We are way ahead
of the Redmond folks, let's keep it that way!
I'll start work on a mini press release that we can add to the
newsletter. I think just a couple of paragraphs.
Main thing: to get this out to the press, now.
Cheers
Louis
