I'm going to the FOSDEM 2009

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 !

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
