UTBM as partner of OpenOffice.org Education Project
After the Epitech Paris working with OpenOffice.org Education Project, I'm proud to announce, my school, University of Technology of Belfort Montbeliard (aka UTBM) accepted to sponsor a pedagogical project based on 2 (maybe 4) students contributions.
Current status is : Proposal accepted, waiting for candidates (I'll present what I expect to the one who will apply asap).
Basically I'll teach those students how to build OpenOffice,org on several ports, and what I kwow about OpenOffice.org source code. Together, we'll work on OpenOffice.org profiling, on slow machines, like XO (under Sugar), or gdium machines.
It is scheduled to reverse the contents to the community (at least we'll propose ;-) ). Most of the work will be done to contribute to the Performance Project, who IMHO is very high priority at the moment.
From my side, I'll be paid for the time, and the time will be included in my service, or something similar. From the student perspective, they will have 3 tasks to achieve in several month.
The students will work on OOo4Kids source code, mostly for performance improvements, but not only : one of the task will be to propose at least one UI Improvement for OOo4Kids. If the code does worth it, we'll ask for OpenOffice.org integration afterwards. If accepted, but that's another story ...
