Ecole Centrale Nantes and OpenOffice.org Education project

The OpenOffice.org Education Project continues the Effort. Ecole Centrale Nantes is a regular contributor, and below, the story.
How was it this year ? Well, change from svn to hg was a bit tricky (headhache caused by the rebase), but at the end, we did it. Jonathan Winandy, mercurial expert created its own repository, and we used it until the end. At the end, I pushed, with Thorsten Behrens and Rene Engelhard precious advices, all the changes into eraser01 cws.
Another part of the work is at issue 97972, but not only. The wiki too does contain a lot of information.
The students who contributed this year, are :
* Nelle Varoquaux
* Jonathan Winandy
* Leo Collet
* Remy Dumas
* Christian Jacques
And the professor who followed that is Morgan Magnin.
Many thanks to all of them !!
For the one interested, the final report is available online : ECN Tablet, final report (2009)
The feature is really great (specifications have been proposed last year) and we are preparing the cws, for the QA. It will be proposed for integration. There will not be a big change, because the option will not be active by defaut. The plan is to add other features in the next semesters.
I'll retain, like the previous time, it was a pleasure to work online with students, and to help them, to discover the OpenOffice.org source code, and more. Other important thing, is that you can work on the core, when you are enough close to the students, to mentor them, and hear carefully their problems. IRC ( channel : #education.openoffice.org , server : irc.freenode.net ) is really great for that.
Last but not least, I got a movie presenting the feature, made by Nelle Varoquaux, but I can't propose a link from there at the moment. Please click again later ;)
