thanks for posting this. I did not attend your presentation, but was 
(when you explained) catched by your enthusiasm and focus on helping up 
coming developers. I look forward to learn from the new results.
As said, I (and probably not me alone) will look how the marketing 
project can for example pay attention to the work of the education project.


Also I've read some "Q&A's" ;-) here and there about what should or 
should not be included by the education project. I'm not so good at 
that, but try to focus on the practical side.

Showing results, and attracting more people and so on for next steps.

Regards,
Cor

Sure, if you want to provide one, please send it to me in private, and 
I'll upload it along the other, in the same dir

Me ? :p
Sorry, but that's true :  I don't use flash at all ..



I didn't either until two years ago - also a Linux-user (since 1998).


He he : same for me : was Red Hat 5.0 in command line (my graphic card 
was not listed)  :-)



The Flash-version zooms so it fits the size of the browser window or frame. And you just click at the slide to go to the next. Very smart if 
you want a presentation on your website.


Ok, feel free to add you in the document, as contributor.

Because I'm a Linux user on platforms since a long time (more than 10

PowerPC), so I don't have the habits to export in such formats :-)

that is of course not true 


That's just the facts.

And I'm sorry, but I just report what I learned in the discussion : the 
students have never heard of Education Project.
that might be true but it doesn't meant that it's Sun fault. At least 
for me it was the first contact with this guy at FOSDEM and it was just 
the beginning of some collaboration. He contacted Sun for some reason 
and i promised support where i can independent of any specific project.





It  doesn't help if you spread such wrong messages.


This is not wrong messages, and I perfectly assume what I wrote : Sun 
behaviour is not clear at all concerning OpenOffice.org Education Project.
Sun is supporting the eduction project in the same way as all other 
projects. Sun is not OpenOffice.org, Sun is part of OpenOffice.org. If 
people prefer to contact Sun that's fine and we help where we can.


Maybe you should think for example about the Seneca collage and should 
remember who made the contacts over years, it was Louis as the community 
manager and as a Sun employee and a string supporter of the education 
project. Again it's not only you who is thinking about the education 
project or doing something to attract new developers.




Now, I'm sorry, but I have better to do, my time is precious, and I'll 
stop this unconstructive discussion with you there.
well that is better and i strongly recommend that you consider your 
communication style. The only thing you do is to isolate yourself.


Don't think in the small sub project world, it doesn't help us. Think 
more global, the one global OpenOffice.org project. It doesn't really 
matter in which sub project things move forward. At least not for me, 
for me counts only the global project with all the tiny important parts.

Hi Cor, all,

I would like to say a big thank you to all the one who contributed, for 
everything, including Team OpenOffice.org e.V. for funding me.


This FOSDEM was my third one, as participant, and it was yet better than 
the previous one, really. And I start to be easy in Bruxelles, what is a 
good thing  ;-)


About my workshop : less people than last year, but all where 
developers, and had c++ ( and some objective C ) knowledge. Glad to see 
ancient students from UTBM proposing talks and better for some, and to 
see the one who came to say me hello too.


I have put online my slides, and the patches I commented there :

Asap, I'll complete this with a course explaining how I traced and fixed 
a bug using gdb, because people told me afterwards it was the most 
interesting of the workout.

Tip : for the one interested, the slides of my previous participations 
are easy to find : just replace 2009 with 2008 and 2007 ... means 
everything is  : http://eric.bachard.free.fr/FOSDEM2008 
http://eric.bachard.free.fr/FOSDEM2007  ;-)




One idea for improvement: our booth finished at 5 this afternoon. Most 
people had left … but still there were visitors, developers around. So 
maybe we can plan next year that some people stay longer (and maybe 
also arrive later). We will have even better coverage then.


Yes, if ever I'm there again, I'll take my car, and stay longer + I'll 
prepare other wild debug workouts :)


Last but not least, the most important I will retain is when we meet 
other devs face to face, we do an incredible good work, more difficult 
to achieve my IRC or email.


For example, we traced a crash with Stephan (we found a beginning of 
fix), and I worked more than one hour with Thorsten, on something 
complicated (Cairo , color space and OpenGL). Be face to face was the 
key of the good work.


I'll never insist enough about the importance of be together and work 
together. I just regret the network was not working when Eike wanted to 
show me his work about formulas and some other important stuff he's 
working on.


Was a great FOSDEM !

Great introduction to get into the source code.


The bad thing, is what I said 2 hours long, does not appear at all, and 
that's very damage. That's why I'll create a wiki page with more 
information, e.g, how I traced, what were the ideas .. and so on.
