[ODFPlugtest] FOSDEM and ODF devroom

[Hanssens Bart]

Hi Juergen,


great, I was thinking about a "hacking session" on ODF 1.2 support in libraries,
but I'm not very familiar with these libraries, so I'd like to ask Charles (lpOD),
Inge (ODFKit or KO ?) and/or Svante (ODF DOM) if they find this useful and
if someone from their project could be present ?

For instance, implementing / testing 1.2 RDF Metadata ?

If not, I can give a brief session on what other tools and libraries are out there,
but without much detail

I'll keep the Dec 18 deadline in mind :-)


Best regards,

Bart

exactly i send out a CFP yesterday on various OOo mailing lists. At this
time i didn't know about the fact that we will share our DevRoom with
the ODF group. But it's natural that we have some overlaps and i don't
see problem.

I would suggest that you put your proposals until December 18th on the
wiki page as well.

Hi,

the OpenOffice.org project will have again a DevRoom at the FOSDEM 2010.
The conference will take place from 6-7 February 2010 in Brussels,
Belgium. Our DevRoom will be on Saturday February 6th from 1:00pm to 7:00pm.

It is up to us to organize an interesting and exciting DevRoom to
present our project and to show that OpenOffice.org offers a wide area
for developers. The DevRoom should attract potential new developers as
well as experienced ones. We should share our knowledge with others,
should organize coding or QA sessions, workshops or talks where we refer
about or highlight a special topic.

You can be part of it!

If you are interested in doing a talk, a workshop or coding/QA session
please let us know. Please submit your proposal on the wiki page
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/FOSDEM/2010/CFP until December
18th 2009.

It is not yet guaranteed that we can sponsor our speakers next year
again but it's likely that we can sponsor at least parts of the costs.
So don't hesitate and submit your proposal. We are looking forward to
receive it.

Thanks

Juergen
