 shareholders approve Sun&amp;#8217;s merger with Oracle&lt;/a&gt;: I hear 
Jonathan Schwartz did not show up to the meeting; I don&amp;#8217;t know why, 
but it sure is a sad moment. Not because of Oracle (it makes things quite 
interesting) but because Sun is very likely to go away, and with it a whole 
part of I.T. history. I am glad to have known a lot of people at Sun, and look 
forward working with them again in their new company.&lt;/li&gt;

preparation of &lt;a

 next OOoCon&lt;/a&gt; that will take place in November, but also with&lt;a

 some serious work on the OpenOffice.org&amp;#8217;s interface&lt;/a&gt;.

it&amp;#8217;s not an attempt to design a ribbon; take a look at it very 
carefully, you will find some very nice concepts.&lt;/li&gt;

 interesting whitepaper&lt;/a&gt; about ICT standardization. &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/?p=4490&quot;&gt;This seems to 
have left Jonathan Zuck confused&lt;/a&gt;.  Lots of good things, but at the 
same time, I feel the software patents clique has never been breathing so close 
to the Commission&amp;#8217;s neck: when will they accept that Royalty-Free 
(RF) is the only acceptable term for ICT standards? These people need the 
equivalent of a &amp;#8220;patent subprime crisis&amp;#8221; to show the 
revenues they make on &amp;#8220;Intellectual Property Rights&amp;#8221; rest 
on nothing but wind and wild speculation while harming pretty much everyone 
else in the industry, citizens and the advancement of science and technology in 
general.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Did Microsoft speak too fast when it announced its contributions to 
the Linux kernel? &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.osnews.com/story/21882/Microsoft_s_Linux_Kernel_Code_Drop_Result_of_GPL_Violation&quot;&gt;Check

second micro-release of the 3.7 branch out in the wild&lt;/a&gt;. Enjoy without 
moderation.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Last but not least, the ODF Toolkit&amp;#8217;s DOM component has 
been released in its version 0.7. &lt;a

professionals and business managers against shifting away from Microsoft Office 
is this:We cannot change away from MS because we are using MS Office in

experience doing it?How can we exchange</description>

 shareholders approve Sun&amp;#8217;s merger with Oracle&lt;/a&gt;: I hear 
Jonathan Schwartz did not show up to the meeting; I don&amp;#8217;t know why, 
but it sure is a sad moment. Not because of Oracle (it makes things quite 
interesting) but because Sun is very likely to go away, and with it a whole 
part of I.T. history. I am glad to have known a lot of people at Sun, and look 
forward working with them again in their new company.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Oracle or not Oracle, OpenOffice.org is busy. Not just with the 
preparation of &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://conference.services.openoffice.org/index.php/ooocon/2009&quot;&gt;the
 next OOoCon&lt;/a&gt; that will take place in November, but also with&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Renaissance:Prototyping&quot;&gt;
 some serious work on the OpenOffice.org&amp;#8217;s interface&lt;/a&gt;. 
Before you say anything, here&amp;#8217;s something you should know: 
it&amp;#8217;s not an attempt to design a ribbon; take a look at it very 
carefully, you will find some very nice concepts.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;The European Commission has published &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/newsroom/cf/itemlongdetail.cfm?item_id=3263&amp;lang=en&quot;&gt;an
 interesting whitepaper&lt;/a&gt; about ICT standardization. &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/?p=4490&quot;&gt;This seems to 
have left Jonathan Zuck confused&lt;/a&gt;.  Lots of good things, but at the 
same time, I feel the software patents clique has never been breathing so close 
to the Commission&amp;#8217;s neck: when will they accept that Royalty-Free 
(RF) is the only acceptable term for ICT standards? These people need the 
equivalent of a &amp;#8220;patent subprime crisis&amp;#8221; to show the 
revenues they make on &amp;#8220;Intellectual Property Rights&amp;#8221; rest 
on nothing but wind and wild speculation while harming pretty much everyone 
else in the industry, citizens and the advancement of science and technology in 
general.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Did Microsoft speak too fast when it announced its contributions to 
the Linux kernel? &lt;a

 this out&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/li&gt;
