Be able to see any Image in Writer, as a slideshow ... (idea of 21st april)
Just a wild idea (don't know whether this is realistic or not), but after I watched Google Chrome video, I was thinking to myself : what about be able to see any image as a slideshow ?
(Sort of) scenario :
Imagine you are reading a Writer /Draw or whatever document, and in this document, a nice image.
-> click one dedicated shortcut : et hop ! the image appears in fullscreen, including possible annotations
-> move the mouse : a front like menu appears, and you can stop, or display the next image found in the document, maybe do more ..
Ok, was just an idea ... back to the real work :-)

Feedback needed with Impress 3D OpenGL transitions on Mac OS X
With the recent changes
Thorsten Behrens did (he fixed the bad color space with the cairo canvas helper),
the 3D OpenGL transitions are now working correctly with OpenOffice.org on Mac OS X. Of course, there is probably some additional work before to consider the implementation as "ok", but at least people can test them.
For the adventurous, there is an archive available(Mac Intel only, you use it at your own risks) there (search for INTEL -> DEV300_m42_ogltrans4mac -> en-US)
Please read
this mail for further information, and don't forget to provide feedback and/or file issues assigned to me if ever you find problems.
UPDATE : anybody interested to help me can have a look on the wiki page I created for the occasion.

Mac OS X Porting & OpenGL transitions with ImpressLast but not least, a big thank you to
Mox Soini(cairo implementation),
Radek Dulik (most of the OpenGL thing'ry on OpenOffice.org for Linux) and
Thorsten Behrens(Impress Expert) for his help.
To be continued ... (I hope students working on new 3D transitions will be happy :) )

.. my 3 last days
Very positive contact, with computing department director from UTBM. He appreciated a lot our effort with students. This department does concern students in 3rd to 5th year in our school. Stay tuned.
Was sick from saturday noon to ... today :/
4 students from UTBM will work with me all the week. the objective is to discover the OpenOffice.org Project, through the Education Project. I'll present them soon. We started the usual "build". I started a build on Ubuntu, and I wrote a complete log for Fardad. We should do the same on Mandriva, and on Windows too.
The second idea is to learn how work the OpenGL transitions, and imagine new one. Means we'll have to learn basegfx first.
Thanks to
Florian Heckl,
Stephan Bergmann, and
Robert Vojta for their contributions on the cws we did together. Hope it will be in 3.1 too.
We finally progressed with the poster. Soon more information :)
This evening, I was glad to see
Frederic Gelot, alias fredus create his first cws (Impress and Tablet PC)
