thanks for the submission, I actually looked at an extract from friday.
A hachathon or at least a meetup would be a nice thing. It is sure I will
be there, but I do not
know who else.
If you (or others) want to reserve space for a hackathon, please put it on
https://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/FrontPage
or mail me the information, then I can add it.
"official" hackathon will be added to the scheduler.

hmm, just submitted a proposal yesterday evening, which sounds simliar to last
year's, but is quite
different: it will introduce (once more) a bird-eyes view of the AOO Java based
scripting framework.
Unlike last year it will concentrate on JSR-223 scripting languages (which
implement the respective
javax.script classes, introduced with Java 6) and introduce and demonstrate a
reusable
implementation for a Java bridge between a JSR-223 language (this time NetRexx)
with the AOO Java
bridge. The implementation will be in a way that practically everything can be
re-used for any other
JSR-223 language, by merely adapting a few locations of the introduced
implementation. (The proposal
is attached FYI.)
If accepted, maybe it would be interesting to also offer a hackathon session
for interested Java
programmers who wish to integrate their favored JSR-223 scirpting engine with
AOO (and thereby
making it available as an AOO macro language)?

Biography
Rony G. Flatscher has been working as an Information System
("Wirtschaftsinformatik") professor
at the WU Vienna (with 25,000 business students one of the largest of its
kind) where he has
been trying to empower the students with IT and IS skills to help them be
more productive in a
business world that functions more and more on IT and IS. He has been an
active promoter and
creator of many different open source software, including the (end-user
suited) programming
language http://www.ooRexx.org. His work on ASF's Bean Scripting Framework
(BSF) helped him to
serve as an expert on the Java Specification Request 223 (JSR-223) group
which defined the Java
scripting framework, which got introduced with Java 6 (package
"javax.script").
Abstract
Apache OpenOffice (AOO) implements a scripting framework in Java. Building
a bridge to a Java
'javax.script' (aka "JSR-223") scripting language allows making it directly
available as a macro
language to AOO. This presentation gives a bird eyes view of the AOO
scripting framework, what a
bridge for a 'javax.script' scripting language needs to support, introduces
and demonstrates one
such implementation making the NetRexx programming language available to
AOO. As a result it
becomes very easy for any Java programmer to add her favorite Java
scripting language to AOO (a
list of such programming languages can be found at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_JVM_languages) by adapting the
introduced bridge. The
necessary adaptations will be highlighted such that every Java programmer
attending should
become able to create a functional bridge to another Java scripting
language within an hour.
Audience
The audience is interested in the Apache OpenOffice (AOO) scripting
framework and/or adding
programming languages to Apache OpenOffice as macro languages.
Experience Level
Any
Benefits to the Ecosystem
AOO may be enhanced by many new programming languages that can be used and
dispatched as macro
languages.

Release Manager for 4.1.2
It seems that on one hand we all agree that we should release 4.1.2 reasonably soon, but on the other hand nobody volunteered to be a Release Manager so far. After several months of traveling, I expect to have more free time that I can allocate to OpenOffice in the next weeks. So if people who would better than me at the task (just to name some: Juergen and team, Ariel...) are still unavailable, I can volunteer as Release Manager for 4.1.2. Of course, if anybody else is available to do it, please speak up!
