[ooo-announce] OOoCon 2006 Call For Papers
The OpenOffice.org Conference (OOoCon 2006) Call for Papers All, We are soliciting papers from the broad OpenOffice.org community on topics ranging from developing OpenOffice.org to marketing it; from the global politics of the free and open-source software (FOSS) movement to the technical challenges of localization. This conference is meant to be a forum for technical as well as general examinations of OpenOffice.org's place in the expanding world of FOSS. *Your proposal should be sent before 1 June 2006 in order to guarantee that it will be considered for inclusion in the Conference.* The conference will cover the following OpenOffice.org topics, organized into five tracks: 1. *General* OpenOffice.org 3.0 Commercializing, integrating, and supporting OpenOffice.org Migration methodology Marketing Funding the project, defining the product, and extending it Attracting people (programmers, documentation writers, linguists, support, marketing...) The OpenOffice.org Community: Past, Present and Future 2. *Education* OpenOffice.org in schools and universities Case studies of student's/pupil's help in developing OpenOffice.org Skill recognition 3. *Public Administration* Case studies of OpenOffice.org in government Government support of OpenOffice.org (and FOSS in general) Collaboration of PA in developing, deploying and using OpenOffice.org Government support 4. *Enterprises* Case studies of OpenOffice.org in private sector (SME - Small to Medium-sized Enterprise) Collaboration of SME in developing, deploying and using OpenOffice.org How the use of OpenOffice.org can expand beyond that of a mere office suite (ODF opens up new horizons) 5. *Development* The source and how to work with it The Roadmap Tools for development Integration and localization UNO and what it can do QA, user interface, and development processes Macros and installers Extensions Filters and other topics 6. *XML OASIS OpenDocument Format* OASIS OpenDocument XML format Introduction to XML Examples of XML technology XML: bridge between OpenOffice.org and other tools *Please submit a proposal by filling out the template and sending it to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]* *template for proposals http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2006/ paper_template.odt *As the OpenOffice.org community consists of members from countries all over the world the talk must be in English.* Please limit your presentation to 50 minutes including questions. Your proposal (abstract) must be sent before 1 June 2006 in order to be considered for inclusion in the Conference. A *presentation* is a general discussion of some topic, including (but not limited to) the software, the community, relationships with other software or communities, and political or philosophical issues. A *case study* is a specific type of presentation that tells what you did to achieve some result; this is usually a success story, but could include a discussion of what mistakes you made and how you overcame them. A *workshop* is a how-to session, in which the presenter gives step- by-step instructions for doing some task such as writing macros, setting up a database, or developing a complex spreadsheet. Workshops usually include some audience activities. A *BoF* (Birds of a Feather meeting) is an informal gathering of people in a particular group, or interested in a specific topic. Examples include the members of a native-language group, the marketing project, documentation writers, or Macintosh coders. A *panel discussion* involves a group of people (usually 3 or 4) led by a moderator. The participants make opening and closing statements on the topic, may discuss the topic among themselves, and may answer questions from the audience (usually submitted in advance). A *lightning talk* is a brief presentation on any topic relevant to the conference. It could be an interesting format to give many people the chance to make their point in a series of exactly 5 minute slots. The template for paper submission includes a section for requesting a travel subsidy. At this point we are not in a position to offer funding for all speakers, and those speakers who do get a subsidy are unlikely to have their full expenses covered. Each request will be considered on the basis of both merit and need, so if you are requesting a subsidy, please give as much information as possible to help us evaluate your request. Please note that someone presenting only a lightning talk is unlikely to receive assistance. An OpenOffice.org Impress template recommended for use for the conference presentations will be published around 1 June 2006. ... and keep a watch on http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2006/ for more information ...

[ooo-announce] LinuxWorld Expo Boston 4-6 April
All, OpenOffice.org will be having a booth (#139) at this April's LinuxWorld Expo Boston and you are invited! You are also invited to help out. We need booth beings, artwork, clever presentations showcasing OpenOffice.org, and any other kind of moral, monetary, or vocal support you can offer. This event is of some importance, for it is taking place in what is widely perceived as the epicentre--Boston-- of the U.S. public sector move to using the open standard file format OpenOffice.org uses, the OASIS OpenDocument Format, or ODF. The old- but-powerful stick-in-the-mud elements have been resisting mightily, but the forces for freedom, open standards, and superior technology are advancing, and Massachusetts is still scheduled to adopt the ODF January 1, 2007. But nothing is absolutely certain. So, you can see why this event is of some importance and why we need to show just how good OpenOffice.org is. The event goes from 3-6 April, with the exhibition hall open from 4-6 April. You can learn more about it by going to http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/live/12/ events/12BOS06A . If you can help out, in any way, let me know. I'm putting together the team for the exhibition at LWE Boston and time is speeding by. Send an email to louis at openoffice.org if you want to help out.

[ooo-announce] OpenDocument Format = ISO 26300
All, 1 May 2006: The International Standards Organisation has today approved the standard file format to be used worldwide for the storage of files produced by office software (word processor documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, etc.). For the first time in the history of computing, software users will be guaranteed that they will be able to use their data in any compliant software package, both now and in the future. The point of an open standard is that any compliant application can use it. As Simon Phipps, the Chief Open Source Officer at Sun Microsystems, observed, This is a landmark moment for the Free/Open Source Software movement. An innovation that started here [at OpenOffice.org] has been reviewed, adopted and now endorsed at the highest level as an international standard. We now have a standard for productivity documents that is recognised by governments, which often require ISO approval. The OpenOffice.org productivity suite fully supports the new ISO/IEC 26300 standard (and since version 2.0 has has fully supported the OpenDocument format on which it is based). The Project has led the world in charting a new path. Louis Suarez-Potts, the OpenOffice.org Community Manager writes, The approval by the ISO helps level the playing field and helps clarify what is at stake: your intellectual property, your right to use innovative software. The open standard means not only that your property is not held hostage to the company making the application but also that new applications, new extensions, new ways of doing things can be created. The user wins. The time is now, the tools are here, the freedom is yours. -OpenOffice.org About OpenOffice.org The OpenOffice.org Community is an international team of volunteer and sponsored contributors who develop, support, and promote the leading open-source office productivity suite, OpenOffice.org®.

[ooo-announce] [pr] FINAL: OpenOffice.org 2.0.4 Is Here.... And It's Our Birthday!
All, This is Friday 13 October and the day marks two important events: the immediate availability of OpenOffice.org 2.0.4 and our sixth anniversary. First things first. OpenOffice.org 2.0.4 is ready for download now. It is a significant release and recommended for all. As with all OpenOffice.org releases, it runs natively on Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X (X11) and many other platforms; and it probably runs in your language. Check with your favourite Native Language Project to see if the application is available today. New features, bugfixes, and improvements include: * Enhanced PDF management * Direct export to LaTex * Nested queries in Base * New functionality in Calc and Impress * Mac OS X (X11) uses system fonts * And a lot more... But the most important is our improved use of extensions. We've been very busy here, and have succeeded in making it easier for developers of any level to create extensions (aka packages) for OpenOffice.org. With 2.0.4, a new door to the future is opened: Developers everywhere are invited to start writing extensions! To learn more, visit our Extensions Project, http:// extensions.openoffice.org/. Download the application now, start using it immediately, and write extensions tomorrow. * Download: http://downloads.openoffice.org/2.0.4/ * Release Notes: http://development.openoffice.org/releases/2.0.4.html And now our anniversary. Six years ago today, OpenOffice.org was launched as an open-source project. Wikipedia [0] has an excellent timeline, and in the last OOoCon we presented on the State of the Project [1], but the basic fact is that in the last six years we have helped shape a new world. Tens of millions of people use OpenOffice.org daily; governments have or are considering mandating it or its open-standard file format, the OpenDocument format, or ODF; and all have saved hundreds of millions of dollars and taken significant steps to ensuring that data is not lost to proprietary technologies. No small accomplishment. If you want to participate in this huge and peaceful movement for a better world, join us, spread the word, help us and yourself out.

[ooo-announce] The ODF Toolkit Project
Press Release: The ODF Toolkit Project, OpenOffice.org The future of OpenOffice.org extends beyond the office suite. With the creation of our new ODF Toolkit Project (http://odftoolkit.openoffice.org/), which we are announcing today, we are inviting developers everywhere to take the source of the world's leading Free and Open office productivity suite in bold new directions. These may include technologies that engage tools for collaboration, communication and content creation of every kind; tools that will complement and even transcend the already powerful productivity suite. The anchor of this new project is the OpenDocument Format (ODF), the ISO and OASIS standard format for office applications and the most flexible and adaptable format for the future. Any application can be engineered to express its files in the ODF and any application can open and edit ODF files created by another compliant application. Vendor lock-in, in which the user must continue to use expensive and proprietary software only because the files created using it are unreadable by other applications, has been the bane of governments, businesses, and individuals for at least the last twenty-five years. With the ODF users reclaim their works and vendor lock-in is eliminated. It is for this reason that governments and businesses are looking to the ODF and OpenOffice.org. The stakes are too high. The ODF Toolkit Project takes that freedom even further. Developers are not bound by the legacy constraints of the office suite; they will be able to more easily include ODF in their applications or create new applications that use ODF. It does not matter whether it extracts, manages, creates, or integrates information. The ODF Toolkit Project lowers the barriers to working with and implementing the ODF for all. Users will obviously benefit, and almost immediately. To give just an example: The future of collaboration and communication, not to mention much of commerce, depends on applications that can exchange files without the hassle of incompatibility; the future depends on truly open and flexible standards and formats. But much of what is created today and almost all that is exchanged uses proprietary formats, effectively limiting collaboration. With the ODF Toolkit Project, any suitable application, large or small, will find it easier to implement the ODF, allowing users to create and exchange, collaborate on or simply save their files as they please, without the fear of vendor lock-in or file obsolescence. Developers and others interested in contributing are invited to join us now and make something new!
