| |
| <p class="by">André Schnabel (project member / supervisory board |
| member / OOo Germanophone project / OpenOffice.org DEutshcland |
| e.V.)</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="content"> |
| <p><em>Abstract:</em> Funding the project is a topic which has been |
| (and will be) discussed for several years. As the project is growing |
| (in numbers and in activities) funds will get even more important. As |
| the project itself is no legal entity, we need structures to support |
| funds. The presentation is going to show the ways we currently have |
| for funding the project and how we can find new ways. The |
| presentation will be held from my perspective as a community member, |
| as well as founding member of the German association "OOo Deutschland |
| e. V." - presenting our work and problems and how we try to cooperate |
| with other associations to fund the OpenOffice.org project. Aim of |
| the presentation is to get to know the associations that exist |
| worldwide for supporting OOo and develop ideas how to make our work |
| more efficient.</p> |

| </div> |
| |
| <div class="content"> |
| <p><em>Abstract:</em> Recent articles about "ODF as the winning |
| format", critical voices to Microsoft's Format, schools of poor |
| countries being able to offer Office-education to new generations |
| because of OpenOffice.org.. We are making an important difference to |
| the way the future will look for some people. I believe many of us |
| doesn't realize how amazingly big this movement really is. This was |
| what made me come up with the idea. - Short interviews of people from |
| third-world countries. To hear what OpenOffice.org really means for |
| them. - Presentation of news-texts, to find indicators with which |
| help we might draw conclusions about OOo's future position, on a |
| global-view.</p> |

| |
| <div class="content"> |
| <p><em>Abstract:</em> Often registration rings a bell for people and |
| has some kind of bad touch. The Service Tag based registration |
| support we use in OpenOffice.org is anything else than evil. The |
| whole OpenOffice.org Project can massively benefit from the outcomes |
| we gather by registrations. Some key aspects and important items and |

| |
| <div class="content"> |
| <p><em>Abstract:</em> How can we get OpenOffice taught in schools? I |
| mean not only the teaching of courses for users but also and perhaps |
| more fundamentally important, the teaching of coding OpenOffice.org. |
| Engaging students (and also instructors and professors) in coding |
| OpenOffice.org in the formal environment of a secondary and |
| post-school sounds promising?after all, we all recognize the value |
| that students currently bring to OpenOffice.org and Foss in general, |
| and we also all probably believe that by engaging students we can |
| help build the future we want. (It goes without saying that just |
| about every enterprise believes the same and many have significantly |
| funded education efforts throughout the world.) If the why seems |
| clear enough, the how remains a lot more murky. This presentation |
| examines what OpenOffice.org and other Foss projects have been doing |
| and evaluates the efforts. My interest is pragmatic: which efforts |
| have resulted in contributors (of all levels) coming to |
| OpenOffice.org and other projects?</p> |

| </div> |
| |
| <div class="content"> |
| <p><em>Abstract:</em> Free/Libre/Open Source Software developer |
| communities are growing around the world. Most code is still written |
| in Western Europe and North America, but a large and increasing |
| amount of developers are contributing from Asia - especially China, |
| India and Japan; Latin America and even Africa. The FLOSSWorld |
| conducted the first large, multi-lingual survey of developers, |
| businesses, universities and governments covering 8 countries in |
| Asia, Latin America and Africa, along with a detailed comparison of |
| regional and national collaborative development platforms, mailing |
| lists, projects and communities. It turns out that FLOSS developers |
| are very similar wherever in the world they live.</p> |

| initially sponsored in the Google Summer of Code and the User |
| Experience (UX) was mainly represented by a volunteer; both being |
| supported by Sun employees. *** This case study wants to shed some |
| light on the development of the Notes and how to overcome the main |
| challenge - pure remote collaboration. With tools like wiki or mail |
| we structured ideas, collected requirements, developed design |
| proposals and discussed issues. *** So, how far did we get? What have |
| we learned during our cooperation? What worked well what not? We want |
| to share with the community the experience we gathered. And we want |
| to show what interesting ideas are still there to further improve the |
| Notes after OpenOffice.org 3.0 being released.</p> |

| <p><em>Abstract:</em> This topic will give a description about |
| Symphony Properties Sidebar, from what it is like and how it is |
| implemented. In normal ways, when a user wants to do some properties |
| changes to an object, he/she need select the object, find the menu |
| and open the related dialogue, go through the attributes, change and |
| apply. Why not collect users' most common used operations and make |
| them docked at the first sight so that he/she can operate the at the |
| most convenience? That's what Symphony Properties Sidebar aims at. It |
| covers text properties, paragraph properties, shape properties, cell |
| properties, graphic properties and page properties... For those items |
| not so common used, sidebar provides "All Properties" button at the |
| end of the panel. Click the button will bring up the whole set model |
| dialogue Through the Properties Sidebar, users can change the |
| object's properties by minimized clicks. It gets very positive |
| feedback and will have much more rich content in the future. In the |
| topic, there will be also some implementation details. It combines |
| docking window and infobox's technology. Also it enhanced existing |
| docking window, from visual, layout, to window management styles. The |

| <div class="content"> |
| <p><em>Abstract:</em> Office Application, with document, spreadsheet, |
| and presentation support, always provides thousands of features. This |
| brings great challenge to office product development focus and office |
| suite UX design. Therefore Office application manufacturers haves |
| program, like MS CEIP to investigate on office feature., while |
| However those programs need great quite much cost and not all the |
| users are willing to participate. This presentation will give another |
| approach on office feature survey from information stored office |
| documents themselves. Comparing to other office feature survey, it's |
| a cheaper and but also effective way. This approach intends to takes |
| large quantity of office documents from internet as sample file sets, |
| detaches document element usage information from them, and analyses |
| those information to get document element statistic for office |
| feature usage frequency, and the correlation between feature and |
| documents sets. we have got some valuable conclusion to show in the |
| presentation. In this presentation, a plug-in live demo based on IBM |

| IAccessible2 is a new accessibility API which complements Microsoft's |
| earlier work on MSAA and fills critical accessibility API gaps in the |
| MSAA offering. IAccessible2 was created out of necessity to produce a |
| usable and accessible ODF based office suite. It is an engineered |
| accessibility interface and helps provide an Assistive Technology |
| (AT) access to many significantly advanced functions in rich document |
| applications. The additional functionality includes support for rich |
| text, tables, spreadsheets, Web 2.0 applications, and other large |
| mainstream applications. IAccessible2 is firstly implemented in IBM |

| <p><em>Abstract:</em> Accessibility is a very important thing, and |
| the demand becomes higher and higher. We started our Accessibility |
| efforts with OOo 1.1 by supporting the Java Accessibility API. Many |
| things had changed since then. We now have native support for GNOME |
| Accessibility, and also make good progress on Mac Accessibility with |
| our native Mac port. The next step is to improve Windows |
| Accessibility by replacing the old Java based accessibility with the |
| new IAccessible2 API. Accessibility is also important for document |
| formats, so we made many improvements in ODF 1.1, and are just |
| evaluating the ODF 1.2 specification for Accessibility issues. The |

| <p class="by">Toussi, Massoud (Student / Lim&Bio, Université |
| Paris 13)</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="content"> |
| <p><em>Abstract:</em> Writing a scientific paper is not a trivial |
| task. Word processors help facilitating this task in many ways, |
| especially in formatting the text layout and spell checking. However, |
| most of word processor lack specific tools for helping authors |
| organize their ideas, i.e. handle semantically their articles. |
| Although in some specific domains, for exampling screen play writing, |
| applications other than word processor have been developed to do |
| this, unfortunately in academic writing there is still work be be |
| done. Some minor tools, such as those helping authors with the |
| management of bibliographic references were lacking in word |
| processors even until recently, and authors had purchase separately. |
| One of the most interesting aspects of OpenOffice suite for academics |
| is of course its powerful bibliography management database. But |
| still, it is difficult to say we can handle with ease our ideas in |
| this suite. Another capability of OpenOffice is its extended use of |
| XML files in Open Document Format (ODF). This is an interesting |
| aspect which allows the management of the content of a document |
| independently from its layout and style. The author has developed an |
| ontology of a scientific article OWL language. Based on this |
| ontology, named Paper Element Nodes (PEN), a scientific paper has a |
| type, a style, a content, a version and a cover letter. A scientific |
| paper type can be any of editorial, research paper, review article, |
| case report, analysis article, methodology article, and so on. Its |
| style can include layout styles, references styles, language styles, |
| and illustration styles. Its the content, which conveys the core |
| meaning of the article, can also be divided into several parts which |
| are called nodes in our model. The main nodes of the content of a |
| scientific paper include: title page, abstract, introduction, |
| methods, results, discussion, tables, illustrations, legends for |
| illustrations, etc. Each of these nodes are further divided into sub |
| nodes. For example the title page includes the title of the article, |
| author names and affiliations, author roles, acknowledgements, |
| disclaimers, number of tables and illustrations, word count and the |
| address of corresponding and reprints authors. All these nodes and |
| their subdivisions are coded in OWL DL language in the original PEN |
| ontology. During this session, the author demonstrates how these |
| concepts can be directly implemented in an OpenOffice template. The |
| final result will be a template document which is ready to be used |
| for writing a scientific paper. This makes possible to write a |
| scientific article with much less effort. As a medical informatics |
| graduate, the author will demonstrate how this newly created template |
| can be used to facilitate the writing of a scientific paper about a |
| clinical trial study. So far, the author shows that the ODF has the |
| capability of presenting a semantic structure of a scientific |
| article. This is beneficial for academic writers by helping them |
| prepare well-structured manuscripts. Another more important benefit |
| of using this kind of ontology based template is the fact that search |
| engines of tomorrow can be able to parse scientific articles in a |
| semantic way. For example they will be able to search all articles |
| using OpenOffice and ODF in their methods. A progress which will make |
| us closer to Web 3.0 concept.</p> |

| <p><em>Abstract:</em> ODFDOM is the name of the new free OpenDocument |
| Java 5 framework sponsored by Sun Microsystems Inc. This workshop |
| will provide interesting exercises applicable to all ODFDOM layers. |
| The upcoming workshop will give the opportunity to get in touch with |
| this exiting new API and to discuss any idea/problem directly with |
| the architects. Aside of the exercises, discussion about further |
| future goals of ODFDOM and its language independence are topic of |
| this workshop. Please visit the ODFDOM wiki for further details about |
