How to add new cursors in OOo4Kids (Windows, Linux,Mac OS X)
Added a new entry in
the OOo4Kids wiki:
How to add a new cursor in OOo4Kids (basically the same as adding one in
OpenOffice.org of course ;-)
Everything comes from notes I took during the implementation, and the translation in other locales will follow soon.
Any help and contribution is welcome : feel free to add information, and help us to improve ! """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Education Project meeting: log available
Was IRC meeting today, for the
Education Project. We mostly welcomed new students, and made a point about the work in progress. I have seen some new nicknames on the channel :-)
Next week, we'll try to propose a list of ClassRooms.As usual the log is available on the wiki : the logNext meeting is scheduled the 22nd October, same hour. See you !!"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

appleremote02 (part7)
Now, the remote works in Windowed mode. The solution was simply in front of my eyes since a while. I think the code simplification improved the design (Philipp has to confirm this is correct).
The new idea is, since we no longer use keycodes, we simply no longer need to check whether we are or not in fullscreen or in presentation mode. This job is a salframe (and salframeview) one, and works out of the box.
Bad news: was not able to build Andre's solution. I'll keep the one Philipp suggested: simple and efficient.
Triggered
issue 97925. Investigating. If ever I can fix it, I'll be done with appleremote02, and time to find a QA resp. and check the Ready for QA thing
Updated the
Apple Remote documentationon the wiki
Booked flight + hotel for
FOSDEM 2009. Sent the proposal to Jurgen.
If it is accepted, this will be my third (already !) participation to the FOSDEM. This year, I proposed a workshop about my contributions to the Mac port of OpenOffice.org.

apple remote (4)
Recent changes :
- commited all the code
- the bounce with previous slide is fixed
- some new keyCodes are under test ( NSEvent.h is really helpfull ! )
- Did some cleanup, and code factorization.
- F5 can open the navigator in Calc/Draw and writer. Other keys are not active
I'll upload a new (unofficial and hacked) Intel build today on
Laurent site today
The idea in the code factorization was to add a (private) method for sending the events, and simplify. No idea whether other parameters can or not be usefull, but I'll do some investigations.
e.g. use the isARepeat parameter could be interesting, because more "Front Row like"
Todo : open contextual menus, and make the up / down buttons work, and select items in the contextual menu (if ever it is possible).
Last : I found information about the concerned API for the Media Browser :-)

Sort of game
Looking at binfilter log gives more than 3MB of warnings. That's the reason why, when I have time, I try to fix one or another.
The idea was to try to fix them with volunteers from Education Project. Fix warnings is a nice and sane practice. You must:
- build OpenOffice.org until binfilter (not so simple for beginners)
- build binfilter and create the log
- analize the warnings, and fix them on all archs (not that trivial sometimes)
- create a patch
- ask someone else to agree your changes
... and so on
Very pedagogical :) ... and not really dangerous because binfilter is close to be obsolete, and we could create a childworkspace for the fixes. Or not ... nobody cares in fact
If you want to play with us, I started with
this patch (please tell me if some fixes are wrong, can be ), and you can join us on IRC, telling us what you want to fix. TODO : Maybe write a wiki page about that
Update: found a wiki page about that :
Writing warning free codeRakesh Pandit (from India), an Education Project supporter, enjoyed and already answered "present" ..

Accepted or not accepted ?
Some times ago, I have asked the -supposed to be the right people- to know whether
Carlo Scarfoglio, and
Michel Renon sca were accepted.
Carlo proposed patches for the scanner implementation, and Michel was interested to work on the AppleScriptability on Mac OS X.
It was approximatively one month ago. Because mail or IRC is unefficient, I ask there.
My question:
If someone knows the answer, please send me a mail.Libellés : devel

Google SoC : Mac OS X Address Book
As reminder, the Mac OS X port had two applications during the Google Summer of Code. And one of them, the Mac OS X Address Book integration in OpenOffice.org, is work in very good progress :
Omer Bar-or, mentored by
Sebastien Plisson and
Florian Heckl did a very good work !
I tested it recently, and so far, I was able to retrieve all the content of my Address Book on Mac OS X.
Sure, they are a lot of tests I didn't, and maybe I missed something (I'm a complete newbie with Databases), but what I have seen works already.
Google Summer of Code helps a lot OpenOffice.org project, and is a nice idea.Note : I'll do some proposal soon to improve the candidates selection.
Thanks to
Patrick Luby, from
NeoOffice project, who contributed to the
Mac OS X Address Book implementation on OpenOffice.org, fixing build breakers, and improving the code.

Aqua port present at FOSDEM 2007
Mac OS X port will be present at
FOSDEM 2007.
FOSDEM is one of the most important events of the year for Open sources projects, and I'm proud to attend :-)
A lightning talk about Mac OS X port of OpenOffice.org has been accepted, and is sheduled on Sunday 15:00 / 15:15 ( room Ferrer) as described
hereOf course, for the curious, I'll come with an up-to-date version of OpenOffice.org Aqua on my machine
I hope we will have progressed with our Top 10 of issues before to provide a public alpha version ( without X11 )
See you !!
