Unfortunately, it's a fair hike form Brisbane to Sydney (unless CeBIT is being held in Brisbane - highly unlikely). Much as I'd love to be there, the chances are very slim. OTOH, it is possible that Jonathon Coombes might be interested/able to attend, since he's only about 1 or 2 hours away... > At the > OD Fellowship we're discussing conferences to attend, and we've talked > about CeBIT Australia.

It sounds like a good idea - and there are several from the East Cost apart from myself who might find it easier to get there.

Re: [Marketing] "Democracy" player could distribute OpenOffice
Cool. It's definitely something to keep in mind when we do public talks or presentations about OOo.

[Marketing] "Democracy" player could distribute OpenOffice
Friends, I just had an email exchange with some members of the Participatory Culture Foundation's team building the Democracy Media Player. (www.getdemocracy.com) I had the idea that, as well as distributing videos, they could distribute and manage FOSS software applications from within the player. Two of their people wrote me back to say they liked the idea a lot! Tiffiniy wrote: "I really love this idea... would you be working on this? It would be easy to set up a Broadcast Machine installation on a webiste dedicated to OS distribution with appropriate text and pitch. Then, there will be a feed/channel that people can subscribe to and use to download the latest OS app Let me know if you're interested in setting something like this up. We can also put a call up for someone to do something like this." Nick also replied, "It would be easy to make a feed of install files and modify the Democracy front end to allow execution of those files. However, typical packaging systems do much more than this. They deal with versioning and library dependencies and cryptographically verify packages. This is how they avoid the "DLL hell" you typically get on a Windows system. To do this right, you'd want to port an existing packaging system, probably apt, to Windows, then add a Democracy "feed" parser that used an apt repository instead of RSS. To get any sort of corporate acceptance, you'd also probably want to somehow make the system work with the Microsoft Installer, so it could be used to distribute software from a Windows Server out to clients. (I don't know much about this last part.) On the other hand, given the sad state of Windows software and the lack a packaging system, you might be able to make something useful to most Windows users with a few creative hacks." To me, I think the simplest thing that would work should be the first goal. This later, more sophisticated idea could come after the first proof of concept is successful. Is anyone interested in helping to recruit programmers? Thanks, Ben - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In fact, Sun Australia don't seem interested in *any* such functions here. Their local marketing efforts seem to be a deafening silence.
