After Geneva and Maubeuge (I'll announce soon), Frederic Diaz, Nicolas Jeudy, Francois Beuraud and myself will be glad to meet you at the Salon des Ressources Educatives de Besancon.

We'll represent OpenOffice.org and the Education Project of course.

Many thanks to Nadine Rayssac who invited us for the second time.

Like last year, we expect to meet a lot of teachers and professors, who do constitute our "local network". Of course, we'll show them the 7-12 version of OOo we're working on, and we'll notice carefully every remark and suggestion to improve this "Education" version of OOo.

I'm going to the FOSDEM 2009

I'm going to FOSDEM, the Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting

I'm going to FOSDEM '09, the Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting. This will be my third participation ( see the previous one there : FOSDEM 2007 and FOSDEM 2008)

My contribution will be a little travel in OpenOffice.org source code, under a Workshop form. It is scheduled for Sunday, February 7, at 09:00 in the OpenOffice.org Developer Room AW1.105, and will give an overview of the Apple Remote feature I implemented on Mac OS X, and some other changes, like removing some menu entries, or even how I did the Impress 3D transitions using OpenGL (if time allows). The workshop will mostly be Mac OS X oriented, but the content will interested all ports. The idea is to explain the logical behind the changes, and to show how things are organized.

Last but not least, I'd be glad to meet all of you !

IRC meeting "The Hybrid Model of Teaching OpenSource" : log available

EducOOo Logo

Lot of people yesterday on the Education Project channel, and the meeting was extremely informative. Aristotle University model is close to the Education Project one (see the log for differences), and Andreas Meiszner provided extremely interesting links, like the one about P. I. model. Several experiences similar to the Aristotle University and / or OpenOffice.org Education Project. We can consider we are a the begining of something extremely important to come, and we have to take care to work together, to create synergy.

As usual, the log is available on the wiki : click me

Thanks a lot, to Andreas Meiszner and to all the attendees, and see you soon on the #education.openoffice.org channel !!

Thank you for the donations (attend WWDC )

The current amount of donated money is approximatively 1000 euros ! ( mainly received from Cusoon Paypal)

If we add the money we received from the Community Council, we now have 3000 euros available.

This is quite important, and that's the reason why the Mac OS X port wants to say to all the donators a big ...

... Thank you very much !!
