Hi, Many of you guys may not be aware that the LibreOffice project has an Alfresco ECM platform at http://alfresco.libreoffice.org (the Alfresco Explorer interface) and http://documentation.libreoffice.org (the Alfresco Share interface).
In addition, there is a currently-dormant project on the Alfresco Forge [1]: an OOo plugin for Alfresco, to allow one to interact with an Alfresco repository from within the office suite (download, upload, edit documents; etc.). I feel it would be generally extremely useful functionality for LibreOffice to get this plugin working properly. We would have a perfect test bed and pilot user base: the LibreOffice Afresco platform, which is currently being used as a docs repository and workflow facility by the LibreOffice English docs team. I've been in contact with Jeff Potts (Alfresco's Chief Community Officer) and Paul Holmes-Higgin (Alfresco's VP of Engineering), and Jeff is setting-up a confcall for the week of June 27 with Roeland Hofkens, one of the admins of the said Alfresco Forge project, which I'll be attending. Are there any devs here who would be willing to get involved as well? @Michael Meeks, Thorsten Behrens: Jeff Potts also wrote me that, "We'd also like to make a strong suggestion to make LibreOffice a CMIS consumer so that LibreOffice users would be able to easily open and save documents as well as set metadata on documents that live in a CMIS-compliant repository like Alfresco. More info on CMIS can be found here [2] and here [3]. Maybe there's an opportunity for us to help each other out?" Could I ask what your thoughts and suggestions would be about this?
