Welcome to new students joining the OpenOffice.org Education Project
Morgan Magnin just advertised me today : two students from
Ecole Centrale Nantes(aka ECN) will continue the effort this semester (january to june 2010) :-)
Welcome to
Cyril le Mat and
Arthur Bonnet!
It is planned to continue to improve the HP Tablet PC use with Impress.
The great news, is that
this new project will start the third year of cooperation between
OpenOffice.org Education Project and
ECN.
Links: see
the blog entry about the previous project just finished and
screenshots about "Tablet PC and OpenOffice.org (french, sorry).
Are you
student in computing, and want to learn code (mostly C++), fight with
well defined and
mentored projects ? or simply contribute to OpenOffice.org, instead of doing dumb internal projects ?
Just find a teacher, as correspondant, and join the OpenOffice.org Education Project :-)

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 JacquesAnd 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 ;)

Mathieu Lalanne, Pierre Pasteau for their great work, and their presence. Thanks to
Remi Boulle for the super tshirts we have. We were surprised to sale most of them (next time, we'll take more). Thanks to all the people who made this event what it was.
Nice to have seen
OOo4Kids running correctly on a Celeron 500 + 128MB or RAM. Really impressive :)
