[marketing] ALA - OOo4Kids ( was : what does it matter )
Well - this is a fine mess that I seem to have gotten us into. First off - I am going on record as blaming everything on Joyce. Who is Joyce? - doesn't matter. Here is what I thought the disk should look like - at least as of today: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/US/Home/ALA-2010/disk#Disk_Contents Notice please that OOo4Kids is only a small piece. For me I have only one question - and this comes from the exchange that just took place. IS OOo4Kids intended for General Release, looking for actual deployments with real users? If so then it belongs. If not then it doesn't. All the rest of that discussion is BS with regards to the show, IMO.

Re: [marketing] Templates for ALA conference
It would help to touch base in advance with other projects, or even companies, where OOo is used or of benefit. LTSP, K12LTSP, Edubuntu, Skolelinux, Evergreen (ILS), Koha (ILS), Userful Inc, etc. Hola Lars Excellent - can I count on you to help with this? Do you have contacts in any of those projects? Evergreen will be at the show and has a rather large booth assigned, (in the guise of their commercial owner) making a point of stopping by and saying hello is already on my short list. Koha - ah, I have not touched base with those folks, but am planning on doing so, but I've been busy understanding there system. Over this last weekend I set up an instance of their latest system on a server here. The koha community has a 'sort of current' logical schema available, so with that and a reverse of the physical schema was able to setup the MySQL native connector and Report Builder as a very nice custom report writer and access to the patron data for mail merge, etc - I'll put the whole process into a tutorial style presentation. Anyway - sometime this week I figure I'll drop that project an email and let them know what I'm doing and that I'll have the whole thing available at the show - with preview to them earlier so they can have a chance to comment on it. Let me know if you can help here - thanks, Drew - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org
Re: [marketing] Community survey on main properties of OpenOffice.org - call for proposals
I'm quite sure that some of the properties most community members think to be important contain "open ", "professional" or "active". Well, I really thought you would get so much response internally it would be good to balance it with some outside data - but I see I was wrong in the first part of that assessment. OK - for my part: Capable - imparting the fitness of the application for tasks required in a modern office environment. Reliable - imparting not just that the software is stable, but that the software is backed by an organization that you can rely on to be there in the future. Good luck with this, Drew - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org

I think that was the spirit of URE but I am not sure exactly how much functionality can it be developed from it. no, the URE was intended to use UNO the component technology standalone. ISV's can of course use the office API via UNO to connect to a running office instance (keyword simple bootstrap mechanism) and can do whatever they want to remote control the office, create documents, etc. This can be done very easy with Java, Python or .NET languages. C++ requires always a little bit more work but that is natural for C++ with the binary incompatibilities on the different platforms. Standalone document creation can be also achieved by using the ODFToolkit Java API's without any office. The generated documents can be used later on in the office for further use etc. There are different ways possible to integrate into or connect to other software systems. I would say it depends on the planned integration. Extensions for example can be also a good way to connect to other systems directly from the office. For example the Google docs extensions or our Sharepoint and Alfresco Connector and many more. Juergen Do we have any example of use cases from similar companies or providers? 3OSpaces might be a product that "could" have used some type of OOo code, but I am not sure, and I can't pin point any specifics.
