Dear OOo Developers, In the past 3 years we have been working on the GravityZoo Framework, a networked computing platform. Applications written or adapted for this platform run "in the network", rather than just on a server or client. The framework can be used among others to transform existing applications into "net enabled" applications which can be hosted in the framework and become accessible from practically any device via an IP network. At this moment we are preparing a GravityZoo OpenOffice.org porting project. Our goal is to bring OpenOffice.org to the GravityZoo Framework. In essence we want to bring OOo to the Internet for the delivery as a service to the community. Especially in developing countries, where often only inadequate hardware and connectivity is available, this represents an enormous opportunity for the common good.
When OpenOffice.org is "GravityZood", it will become a suite of productivity applications that are always available, online, via a broad range of devices. It will be possible to share and collaborate in real-time, to switch from one device (e.g. a PC) to another (Mobile) device. There will also be no need to save data, because everything you produce is saved automatically on the network. There is no need to download, install or update, the latest version is just available and accessible from any GravityZoo enabled client. Porting of existing applications is straight forward in most cases, because the essential business logic can be maintained and the main adaptations take place in the graphical user interfaces. >From our experience we know that understanding the GravityZoo Framework requires more than just a few words. So if you are interested to learn more please visit our website at http://www.gravityzoo.com/ (documentation is available under support). Please don't hesitate to share your questions or any further thoughts with us. At this moment we are working feverously on the next public GravityZoo Beta release which is planned for the next month. Hereafter we will announce more about the project and will activate the necessary infrastructure (Porting page, mailing list etc). We aim at presenting the GravityZoo OOo porting project on the OOoCon 2007 in Barcelona. We are looking forward to see your involvement in the early process of this unique and exciting project. We firmly believe that this is a collaborative project that should be build by and for the community. Sorry for the cross post.
