| <p class="title">State of the Project, Year 8</p> |

| <p class="by">Suarez-Potts, Louis (Community Manager / Sun |
| Microsystems, Inc.)</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="content"> |
| <p><em>Abstract:</em> This presentation examines the state of the |
| project after eight years of continued extraordinary growth and |
| activity. The focus is on work that has been done in the last year, |
| in particular, OpenOffice.org 3.0, and our ambitions for the coming |
| year. Briefly: OpenOffice.org 3.0 represents both a cumulative |
| accomplishment by the community, a peak reached after years not just |
| of coding but of organization, and a point of departure. At this |
| point, OpenOffice.org has reached, I believe, a status in the world |
| that places it not just on equal footing with any other productivity |
| suite but above. OpenOffice.org 3.0, equipped with the ODF, goes well |
| beyond any single productivity suite or application; rather, it |
| functions a primary star in a constellation of applications that are |
| giving all users the tools and reach to do what they want, what they |
| dream of. With this exuberant moment reached, what then for the |
| coming year? Should we expect new features, new code? Perhaps a new |
| look? This presentation will look at some suggestions, but as with |
| all such presentations, the focus will be on honouring those who have |
| taken us to where we are now and whose vision will take us even |
| farther.</p> |

| <p><em>Abstract:</em> The Mozilla Calendar project is an Open-Source |
| project that drives the development of the standalone application |
| ?Sunbird? and its counterpart ?Lightning? that can be added as an |
| extension to the popular email client ?Thunderbird?. In this |
| presentation I'd like to talk about the capabilities of Sunbird and |
| Lightning - also in comparison to competitive applications-, about |
| the current status of the project and its future perspective. Being a |
| perfect appendix to OpenOffice.org I want to present ideas how the |
| two projects could be linked together more tightly in the future as |
| calendaring is not offered by the office suite. But this presentation |
| should also address developers or other people who are interested in |
| getting involved in a comparatively manageable and somehow ?familial? |
| Open-Source project that yet has found a worldwide broad |
| distribution. Therefore I'd like to introduce the underlying |

| <p><em>Abstract:</em> OOo3 now has a server! People increasingly need |
| to work connected. They need to get their document reviewed, |
| annotated, shared, approved by people, peers and superiors with whom |
| they are working with. Yet there's no server mechanism exist today |
| which would enable people to do that quickly, easily and |
| conveniently. As a result, people are still working semi off-line. |
| They compose their document online using OpenOffice, then they |
| process it across manually, or ? at best ? circulate it via email. |
| Such approach doesn't provide the complete feature nor integrated |
| ?working assembly? mechanism that would make tracking, managing, |
| sharing, filing, measuring and digital tracing work that has been |
| done quickly, easily nor conveniently. Through its ?digital workdesk? |

| OpenOpen into DMS/CMS systems. As the growing number of DMS vendors |

| underlying content repository the integration of them gets more |
| complicated. The presentation is going to show how all these Systems |

| Scripting Language</p> |
| |
| <p class="by">Flatscher Rony G. (Professor / Wirtschaftsuniversität |
| Wien)</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="content"> |
| <p><em>Abstract:</em> This presentation introduces the OpenOffice.org |
| Java based scripting framework and how it allows to add a scripting |
| language of your choice to OpenOffice.org. Using the open source |
| scripting framework "Bean Scripting Framework (BSF)", version 2.4, |
| from the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), it becomes possible to |
| bridge any of the many BSF supported scripting languages with the |
| OpenOffice.org scripting framework. In effect, the combination of |
| both Java-based frameworks allows to employ additional scripting |
| languages as macro languages for OpenOffice.org, like Groovy, Jython |
| (Python in Java), Jacl (TcL in Java), JLog (Prolog in Java) and the |
| like. This presentation will use the open source scripting language |
| "Open Object Rexx (ooRexx)" as a proof of concept. Using ooRexx is |
| interesting for different reasons, one being, that it is implemented |
| in C++ yet allows to be used via Java. Hence, the audience will learn |
| that practically any scripting language could be used for |
| OpenOffice.org. There will be a few, easy to understand scripting |
| examples given, which demonstrate how one becomes able to remote |
| control all of OpenOffice.org from any scripting language that takes |
| advantage of the OpenOffice.org scripting framework. The presentation |
| concludes with a possible outlook to incorporate BSF 3.0 (currently |
| in beta) to OpenOffice.org. BSF 3.0 is an open source implementation |
| of the JSR-223 Java standard for the Java scripting framework as |
| introduced with Java 6 (1.6) by Sun. Goal: the audience should be |
| able to conceptually understand the OOo Java based scripting |
| framework, the BSF 2.4 scripting framework and become able to assess |
| and implement new scripting languages for OpenOffice.org, including |
| of how easy it is to employ those scripting languages thereafter by |
| exploiting the respective OOo APIs.</p> |

| |
| <p class="by">Flatscher Rony G. (Professor / Wirtschaftsuniversität |
| Wien )</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="content"> |
| <p><em>Abstract:</em> Adding a new dynamic scripting language to |
| OpenOffice.org is possible by exploiting the Java based |
| OpenOffice.org scripting framework. However, programming and |
| remote-controlling OpenOffice.org with the "Unified Network Objects |
| (UNO)" framework can be quite challenging. As a result, it is quite |
| difficult to teach/train end-user programmers to automate |
| (remote-control) the different OpenOffice.org document types. |
| Therefore, OpenOffice.org dynamic scripting languages like OOo Basic |
| or Python provide support for easing programming of OOo, e.g. by |
| implicitly carrying out queryInterface()-calls and as such |
| alleviating the (end-user) programmer from this sometimes pesky task. |
| Introducing new dynamic scripting languages to OOo will most likely |
| challenge the implementer for creating an appropriate scripting |
| language support specifically for OpenOffice.org. This presentation |
| will use the "Open Object Rexx (ooRexx)" dynamic scripting language |
| as an example and discusses the many fold possibilities of creating |
| support for OOo. As the author of such an OOo supporting |
| infrastructure who also has been gaining experiences with end-user |
| type of programmers (students at the Vienna University of Economics |
| and Business Administration) for more than two years by now, the most |
| important pros and cons of such a specific support will be talked and |
| discussed about. Goal: the audience will learn the most important |
| areas of OpenOffice.org programming for which specific support could |
| and should be created for new scripting languages. However, it also |
| should become aware of thinking about trade-offs between creating too |
| much and too few such support.</p> |

| </div> |
| |
| <div class="content"> |
| <p><em>Abstract:</em> OpenOffice is normally localized using PO |
| format files. The amount of process or meta information that is |
| possible to code into this files is quite restricted. XLIFF files are |
| designed to include most of the information needed to facilitate and |
| improve computer assisted localization. In particular, the two major |
| advantages of XLIFF files are 1) that it is possible to store in them |
| specific glossary and translation memory (TM) information that will |
| be useful for the translator to translate the messages in that file, |
| 2) that it is possible to follow the localization workflow, so that |
| reviewers and those who need to approve the translations know exactly |
| the status of each message (if it was reviewed after its translation |
| or not, etc.) largely reducing the amount of work that they have to |
| do. Localization editors that use all the information stored in XLIFF |
| files can help provide homogeneous translations produced by less |
| experienced translators (glossary control), and workflow management, |
| without having to install and maintain glossaries and TM for each |
| translator, but just sending to them self-contained XLIFF files that |
| can be processed by an XLIFF localization editor. These editors - |
| with differentiated interfaces for translating, reviewing and |
| approving messages - can help manage and simplify the localization |
| workflow, and reduce the amount of work necessary for the |
| localization process.</p> |

| <p><em>Abstract:</em> BrOffice.org Zine is an old dream of the |

| fanzine was used as an anchor to bring together different communities |
| like Galician and Spanish communities, which resulted in the creation |
| of BrOffice.org Zine - Galicia and from starting point, became the |
| idea of expanding the fanzine to other languages like French and |
| German. After the project was restructured, new perspectives |
| appeared. One of them was the partnership with institutions that are |
| already using BrOffice.org to publish advertisements and articles, |
| always related to BrOffice.org and ODF, generating financial |

| <div class="content"> |
| <p><em>Abstract:</em> I propose the formal creation of regional |
| groups able to undertake and conduct marketing, user-group events, |
| and developer and other contributor meetings. These groups would |
| operate like Linux User Groups and tie into the existing MarCon |
| network as well as the Native Language Confederation. The difference |
| would be that these groups would not be based on language but region. |
| Thus, as has already been discussed on the dev@native-lang list as |
| well as the project_leads list, an Indian Regional group would |
| coordinate development as well as events regardless of language. In |
| the case of India, this is an especially important point, as there |
| are 22 official languages. But India is not the only locale for such |
| groups, and I propose setting up African, Scandinavian, Latin |
| American, and Native North and Central American groups as a start. |
| Similar groups in Europe, where such already exist in Spain, Germany, |
| France, is welcomed. The focus, again, would encompass both marketing |
| and developmental efforts. The obvious drawback of any such group |
| would be coordinating their activity with the Web project. At |
| present, we already see such difficulties arising from the Brazilian |
| group BrOffice, and there are no doubt other instances. But by |
| formalizing the idea, I anticipate we would be able to better address |
| precisely this and other, related, problems. Right now, little is |
| actually done beyond personal emails, and each of those takes time. |
| How would these groups be established and who would lead them? These |

| <p><em>Abstract:</em> OpenOffice.org 3.0 will be a remarkable |
| milestone after long-term development of OpenOffice.org. However, |
| which direction will be good for OpenOffice.org to go after that? One |
| option for such consideration would possibly be: Lightweight, |
| Specialized, Diversified and Individualized. Lightweight accounts for |
| the isolation among modules, more logical classifications of |
| fundamental and extended functions,and separation between system's |
| running core and interface; Specialization encourages the research of |
| deeper exploitation of each module for its corresponding application |
| field and intensifOpenOffice.org's value in the data processing |
| capacity for structured semi-structured data. Diversification stands |
| for the grand support for multiple hardware platforms, various |
| document format standards and additionally, some specific data |
| processing standards, XBML, for instance. Individualization favors |
| users to be dominant to choose any function sets, usage pattern and |
| even differentof OpenOffice.org at their will.</p> |
