It's great (use of Open Office, since Start Division charged me $139 three weeks before the product became free!). It has come soooo far. > Where would you like to see it go. 1.) Nesting 'master' document or master document includes. That would be AWESOME. Would make managing techy manuals and references even easier. 2.) My *local* Evolution address books appear in the EvolutionLocal data source. How come I can't access my non-local Evolution address books? Doesn't it just talk to EDS? 2.1.) How come if I use an evolution address book as a data-source the form designer works but the form doesn't work? There is no competitor in Open Source for the forms feature provided by Outlook - it would be pretty darn awesome if that would work. I see the form has X number of records, but none of the controls appear to populate with values. 3.) Some docs or tutorials on how [if?] the forms/db application can be used with a JSON data source. Or how to access data via HTTP in any way possible. Sorry, you asked. :) Overall I'm pretty happy with the direction/progress of OOo. > Both you and Corfy may consider yourselves forewarned. > See you there, > On Tue, 2010-08-24 at 22:31 -0400, Andrew Douglas Pitonyak wrote: > > OK, so who is attending Linux Fest in Columbus Ohio this year? > > http://ohiolinux.org/ > > September 10 - 12 > > I, Andrew Pitonyak will be there. > > Drew Jensen (the Base GURU) will be there > > Jason "Corfy" (OOo Forum Moderator) will be there > > Seems like an opportunity for us OOo folks to get together Friday night, > > Saturday night, or something similar. > > Historically, Jason and I have gone to lunch on Saturday at BD Mongolian > > Grill (you pick your food and spices then they cook it for you). > > http://www.gomongo.com/ > > http://www.gomongo.com/locations/locationDetails.php?loc=25 > > bd's mongolian barbeque > > 295 Marconi Blvd. > > Columbus OH 43215 > > (614) 586-0077 > > If there is sufficient interest, I will attempt to setup something else > > as well (Like Friday and/or Saturday dinner).
