All,
Last Tuesday (seems like months ago), we had an excellent meeting in
Beijing. Italo Vignoli took minutes, and will be posting them, along
with suggestions of what to do ("action items") later on this week.
Briefly, the points discussed had a lot to do with enhancing cross-
NLC communication and making it easier for the NLC projects to do QA
of the builds for which they are responsible. Sophie and André will
be posting on the QA processes, but QA is of very great importance.
So is cross-NLC communication. As OOo gets larger and is used by
more and more millions, it runs the risk of fragmenting. No one
wants that. We all want healthy isodirectional communications, and
most of the larger projects have done a good job of that, thanks to
Charles' insistence.
But we can do better :-). And we can use RSS technology,
conceivably, to help out.
There were other points raised, and one of the most important was
focusing on our key message, that can be used to promote OOo by all.
The final wording is by no means complete, and merits some
discussion with the marketing group. But the basic idea is that OOo
is a set of free productivity tools that can be used by anyone, in
business, government, creative arts, and that it uses a format that
works with any number of other applications. We are not just an
office suite and we are not incompatible; and we are a mature
project and product that is free and sustained by a community of
thousands.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to join you in Beijing. Obviously, I can't
wait for the minutes :-) ...
Best,
Charles.
