Hi Alexandro,
Can you tell us what happened with the initiative, what went OK and what
not so much?
Thanks,
Cor

GHOP would be launched soon and I am looking for a funding source so that
OOo contribute to the prices from Google by adding extra
recognition by the
OpenOffice.org for participating in these contests. The goal is to
have a
well covered initiative from our end and also to give the participats
the extra motivation to participate with us.
The goal is to have a special handcraft trophy from the
OpenOffice.org and a
Diploma signed by the OOo Leads and Mentors and have it shipped to
their homes.
Thanks for the proposal.
And having read the further explanation in rely to Florian, I think it
would be really good to participate.
What else would be needed, apart from extra visual recognition, to
make it
to a success? If that is within our means, then organizing the
extra also has my support.
I am contacitng the development teams, documentation teams and webdev
as well as arts. To see if they will be having tasks for pre-univ
level that we can start collecting. Since OOo is pretty big, I guess
the rest would be try to coordinate these tasks into a central spot
(wiki maybe). So we can be ready for the deadline. Yes I will need
help in those regards and ideas.
we should first of all clarify if OOo will be an accepted project or
not.
The participation at GSOC was not only because the lack of
organization as
far as i know.

This is a chicken and egg situation we either prepare early to the
project or we sit around and wait until things figure out. Right now I
hold a personal relationship with Leslie Hawthorn (lead for the GHOP
project, and Chris DiBona) and am Involved in the mailing list of GHOP
so is not a invisible project but to the opposite a very well
notorious project either on identi.ca or twitter about getting in the
project right away.
So if the fear of not being able to participate is what really set
people back, I suggest those people to participate directly in the
GHOP project or deffer this issue as an stumbleblock.
it's just the experience in the past nothing more. I would be happy to
see OOo in this project and also in GSOC 2010.
