| <H2 CLASS="western"><A NAME="wett"></A>Why We are Having the |
| Competition</H2> |
| <P>OpenOffice.org is becoming more and more widely used. |
| OpenOffice.org's Open Document Format has received International |
| Standard Organization (ISO) approval and some countries, such as |
| Belgium, Malaysia and others, will be completely migrating to ODF |
| soon. As the community gains strength and growth, we recognize that |
| we do not have a wealth of templates and clipart under our own |
| banner. Even the external sites that provide these are not expanding |
| their collections; so <br>this is an excellent time to build a comprehensive |
| repository of ODF templates!!! <br>Lets all share and keep building an |
| even stronger community of users. <br>So here's the challenge, create and |
| submit templates and clipart as part of the competition and be |
| eligible for a share of the cash and other awards of over US$5000 |
| provided by <B><FONT SIZE=4 STYLE="font-size: 16pt">our sponsor, |
| </FONT></B><A HREF="http://www.worldlabel.com/"><FONT SIZE=4 STYLE="font-size: 16pt">worldlabel.com</FONT></A></P> |
| <P><BR><BR> |
| </P> |
| <P>The <B><FONT SIZE=4>OpenOffice.org documentation project</FONT></B> |
| is running this competition in conjunction with <A HREF="http://www.worldlabel.com/"><B>Worldlabel</B></A>, |
| which, we hope, is the start of a series of competitions. |
| OpenOffice.org lives as open SOURCE Community because of the interest |
| and commitment of its users and project members. Each user of |
| OpenOffice.org is called to provide templates or clipart items and |
| send these in. These will ultimately become publicly available from |
| <A HREF="http://documentation.openoffice.org/Samples_Templates/index.html"><FONT SIZE=3 STYLE="font-size: 13pt">http://documentation.openoffice.org/Samples_Templates/</FONT></A></P> |
| <P><BR><BR> |
| </P> |
| <P><FONT SIZE=4>The competition will run from September 13, 2006 to |
| October 13, 2006 at 23h59EDT (GMT-4). Submissions received later than 23h59EDT (GMT-4) on |
| October 13, 2006 will not be eligible. Awards and prizes will be |
| announced on November 1, 2006.</FONT></P> |
| <H1 CLASS="western"><A NAME="teil"></A>Conditions of participation</H1> |
| <P>Everyone can participate and may submit as many submissions (one |
| per message) as they can without penalty. |
| </P> |
| <P>All templates submitted must be presented in open OpenOffice.org |
| template format (e.g. * ott * for Writer templates). Clipart may be |
| in any of the graphic formats OpenOffice.org is able to import plus |
| SVG as the SVG import filter |
| (<A HREF="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/SVG_Import_Filter">http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/SVG_Import_Filter</A>), |
| allows these to be opened. Graphics submitters should take care to |
| ensure that their submission is not modified by the export/import |
| process, as the file will be opened in OpenOffice.org and it is this |
| version that will be the one considered as your contribution.</P> |
| <P>Templates should have an appropriate, generally accepted |
| utilization value and not be "banal". The submitted |
| templates should useful to other users. For example, an empty Writer |
| file with inserted, current date is surely no "meaningful" |
| template. However, a Calc spreadsheet template that can be used for |
| cataloguing a stamp collection or other collection will surely |
| qualify. |
| </P> |
