Hello everyone,
*As previously announced, the New York {Open}Solaris Community User
Group will be holding its August meeting on our regular last Thursday of
the month on 8/27/2009*
At this meeting, we will be joined by Elizabeth Matthis, a linguist and
a long-time contributor to the OpenOffice.org team. Elizabeth (Liz)
has been with the original product team that had been acquired by Sun
(i.e. the product that became StarOffice and had later been opensourced
under the OpenOffice project umbrella). She will give us an update on
what's happening in the OpenOffice community space, what she's been
working on in terms of improving the user experience and what Project
Renaissance is all about. She has been a member of the
StarOffice/OpenOffice.org engineering team in Germany for the past 10+
years and continues to be an active contributor to the OpenOffice.org
productivity suite. She is here on vacation and has flown in from
Germany where she resides; Liz has agreed to come talk to the NY
audience while she's here!
OpenOffice is a free open source productivity suite that is compatible
with Microsoft Office but runs on many more platforms, including MacOS,
various Linux distributions, Solaris, etc. More details about OpenOffice
can be seen at OpenOffice.org
We will also be giving out OpenSolaris 2009.06 media, swag and raffle
off 2 "Pro OpenSolaris" books that have been signed by their authors.
[Please RSVP by 8/26, so we have an approximate count and your name is
registered with the building's security in the lobby]
We'll get started with refreshments @ 6:00pm.
