Hi John,

You may have noticed the 'why.openoffice.org' theme once or twice this
year :-) I'm looking for people who have an interest in marketing OOo to
specific target markets to come along to workshops / brainstorms at
OOoConf. For example, I'd like people involved in schools, universities,
etc to come along to a session 'why openoffice.org ... in the education
sector'.
Have you a special interest in one of these areas? would you be happy to
facilitate one of these sessions? I'd like to see all the target
markets covered - for a reminder of what these are, please see
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Strategic_Marketing_Plan#Target_Markets
However, this is not an exclusive list. If you'd like to run any 'why'
session - e.g. "why OpenOffice.org for developers" - or give a
presentation on a "why" theme - please reply to the list (ideally) or
drop me an email if you'd like to discuss off-list first.
as the project lead of the api project, i am interested in the "why
OpenOffice.org for developers" and i would like to help on this topic.
I have submitted a proposal (development tack) related to the extensions
infrastructure discussing the requirements (deployment, licensing,
versioning, updates) which are necessary to provide a reliable
framework. The focus should be on commercial extensions to show that it
is possible to run a business based on extensions and an open source
project.
It is often necessary to integrate OO.org into existing workflows,
environments or applications and often you need some kind of connectors,
interfaces or special functionality to achieve this goal. Extensions
with all their facets are the best starting point to adapt or extend
OO.org to your personal or business needs. The usage of our stable API
makes it possible to develop extensions for several versions of
OpenOffice.org and not only the current version.
Please let me know if and where i can help.
Juergen
