[REVIEW] draft blog.

[janI]

Hi

A while ago we discussed to get more bloggers.

Since I have 1 years birthday in a couple of days, I have made a blog.

I am not a native speaker, so I assume there are some mistakes in there,
feel free to correct them.

But more importantly, is this a post we as community would like to make
public ?

https://blogs.apache.org/preview/OOo/?previewEntry=developer_in_aoo_1year_celebration

Please be gentle this is my first blog.

Sometimes, when I'm proofing material from an EFL speaker, I find myself
inclined to not try to fix certain things because they look naturally
authentic and sincere.  Excessive proofing runs the risk of editing out
some of the raw passion and enthusiasm being expressed.  Especially in
cases like this, where passion and enthusiasm are sort of the point of the
blog post.

But I can give it a shot, if you like...?

+1.  A personal-perspective post should not read like a marketing brochure.

I thought the post was great.  I'd recommend only simple corrections,
e.g., standardize capitalization.

I think personal posts are enhanced with a photograph, if Jan has a
suitable one.  But it is fine either way.

Hey, I get embarrassed, I am not used to soo many positive words :-) thx a
lot.

@Donald, thx for your offer, This particular blog gains from being a bit
"rough", at least its a lot more me, but I will remember your offer to my
next posting.

@Rob, can you and/or donald please make the small adjustments that makes it
more understandable (and more correct English), please edit it directly
that is the easiest way, and let me know when its done.

Once edited, then I hit "publish" ?

To aid understanding, on first use of acronyms, put full name or explanation in 
brackets. ASF, AOO and PMC (particularly PMC) need explanation.

This is my only remark too: at least, let's expand ASF and link it to 
apache.org. For the rest, nice post!

Btw, is that a personal observatory/telescope in the background of the photo?

You can control it by switching to markup mode and adjusting the width
and height parameters.  The original image was 1024px high, so
probably too large.  But you can adjust as you wish.

Also, it looked like the image and first paragraph are in a table?  I
don't know if that was intentional or something the editor did.

Cool.   I tried that a few years ago, with a Registax and video from a
Phillips web cam.  Nothing serious, just some pictures of the the moon
and mars.  But it well very impressive to see that techniques used by
professional astronomers when I was as student, like image
deconvolution and wavelet transforms, were now available for anyone to
use with inexpensive hardware.  Today I think anyone in their backyard
can make better images than the largest telescope in the world could
make in 1940.
