We won MacGeneration Trophy 2007 !!

Great day for OpenOffice.org :-)

Two days ago, when I received the mail, I firstly was surprised to learn OpenOffice.org was nominated at MacGeneration Trophy 2007.

To be honest, until I read the list, I thought Christophe was kidding.

...

(some silence )

... and the result is:

OpenOffice.org has been choosen as the best open source software, by the users, and won the MacGeneration Trophy 2007 !

Some photos, with Manuel Naudin, our OpenOffice.org expert, who helps us during Apple Expo.

Many thanks to the users, who voted for us, and MacGeneration who organized the Trophy.


Glad to attend Apple Expo Paris tomorrow :)




Don't forget Mac OS X port continues to need developers with C++ and Cocoa skills.

Vote for OpenOffice.org !!

Was great to read MacGeneration yesterday :)

OpenOffice.org is nominated for the MacGeneration Trophy 2007

That's great from "macge" to recognize all the work we are doing, even if the port is not finished (we do the max).

Don't forget you can accelerate the port doing donations : Cusoon ( Paypal button, or contact us if you prefer another way)
-> please indicate this is for Mac OS X port

Note: if you are a company, we can provide you a receipt on demand

Back from OOoCon Barcelona

Just back at home one hour ago. The OOoCon2007 were short for me ( I'm working tomorrow), but great !

Very glad to have meet for true a lot of people I only knew the IRC nickname, or the name in a lot of emails :)

Glad too, to have made a wild debug party between two confs with Herbert Duerr: even if the real cause of the crash is not known, we finally have a hack fixing the crash :-)

The only regret I have was to miss Michael presentation, about debug using Emacs. :-/


Last but not least, I won't miss to thanks Jesus Corrius and the Catalan Team for everything: the place, the organisation, the rooms, the parties, the public .. everything was great !!

See you soon !!

BTW: Happy Birthday to Shaun :)

What is sheduled today in OpenOffice.org project life?

Sh.. I again forgot to attend RE meeting yesterday :-/
I think I'll still miss one or two RE IRC meetings before I'll remember the day/hour.

Would be great to have a "living" link , able to display "what is sheduled tomorrow in OpenOffice.org project**", and/or "what is sheduled next week", including , the main events or meetings planned in OpenOffice.org project ...?

Means everything appears when you hit it with the mouse cursor ( please no CTRL-Click ;-) )

Planet is probably the best place. No ?


**e.g. all wednesday (or close), Mac porters have Mac OS X IRC meetings, on irc.freenode.net server, #ooo_macport channel... yes, this is tomorrow

Mac port at OOoCon2007

The OOoCon2007 is a great event in the year, and Mac porters have a lot to say, included work together, like they do in Mac porters meetings ( Hamburg 2006 and 2007).

The idea is to organize a workshops session on wednesday evening (to avoid interferences with "official" confs). The current program is just a draft, and can be modified.

... a bit like in the French "Festival d'Avignon" , where we have the "Off" and the "In" festivals :)


For the curious: Mac porters workshops during OOoCon2007

To all Mac attendees and or interested developers, please complete and/or propose what you would like to add, and be welcome :)

Macport: updated timeline

The timeline is now up to date.

Some new features for Aqua version of OpenOffice.org ( without X11) will be announced during OOoCon 2007 (Barcelona)
