Mac porting project needs developers

Yes, we need help : we have a lot to do, and are not enough, mainly for code writing. Since we document everything, coders should be able to help more easely. See links below.

Give us a face :
First, you can see us, at least our photos*** :-)

Meet us :
using mailing list : mac@porting.openoffice.org
using IRC : irc.freenode.net channel : #ooo_macport (english) or fr.openoffice.org ( french)

Understand what we are doing :
To answer the questions new developers can ask, I'd suggest to read the documentation we provide :
What is Mac porting? Mac porting intro
Is mac porting dynamic ? Just have a look at important Mac port news in the past : Mac porting important news
Our Todo list : Work in progress / Todo
Want to build native version ? => see AquaBuild
All Porting/Mac OS X/Aqua topics on the wiki : Everything Mac porting
Last Mac porting Meetings : Mac Meetings

WHO is concerned ?
Skills needed : coders with C/C++ and good Carbon API knowledges. Design skills are very welcome too.

And if you found something wrong/not precise, please tell us !

Current native version (development version) using native scrollbars :

***for the one who yet didn't provide a photo, please send it to Shaun asap

Congrats to Pierre de Filippis, our new domain developer, who did his first commit :-)

(reposting a broken part)

OOoCon2006 was great, thanks to everyone for the perfect organisation and the kindness of the staff ! As usual, OOoCon was a great moment, the occasion to discuss face to face with people we see nick to nick all the year on IRC. :-)

Many thanks to Radek Dulik + Cedric Bosdonnnat for their conf about GStreamer : we now have a complete plan for the player implementation on Mac OS X, using Quick Time instead of GStreamer, of course. Stay tuned ;-)

Thorsten's conferences about XCanvas and C++ were very interesting too. The pattern Model-View-Controller cannot be bad :-)

Last but not least, for the one interested on Mac OS X native port (without X11) my conf is here : Mac Port presentation ( .pdf )

As .sxi format is available too : .sxi format

Back from OOoCon ... and now (from) Apple Expo

Thursday, just before Shaun and me started the travel for Paris, internet was not working at home :-/

Now Apple Expo is finished, and this news is .. a bit old.

Thanks to my provider. The original message was :

OpenDocument Day at aKademy 2006

Many thank's to Tink ( tink at kde dot org ) who invited me at OpenDocument Day

This conference is the KDE developer conference, AKA akademy 2006, being held Sep 23-30 in Dublin, Ireland.

Unfortunaly, it will not be possible for me to attend, so the best I can do is to inform and invite other OpenOffice.org people to attend. Mainly - but not only- the one involved in ODF.

You can have a look at the wiki too:
TheOpenDocument@Akademy 2006 Wiki

The best to KDE people for this event !
