deutcheland, cebit, germany, openoffice.org
...
Three years in a row now, the
German OpenOffice.org chapter again made it to represent the project at the CeBIT trade fair in Hannover, Germany. This year, they are sharing the booth with OpenOffice.org supporters and services providers: we from Sun present StarOffice and our slick x86 Solaris on a dual-core Opteron (and, of course, the Sun weblog extension for OOo), standing in line with the heroic OOo volunteers to answer helpdesk questions from the hundreds of visitors.
Apart from that, lots of fruitful discussions, ideas, bug hunting, and, of course, partying is going on here.
Thanks to Jacqueline, Thomas, Joost, Florian, Georg, Andreas, Karsten, Markus, Andre et al. - here's a mugshot of the merry OOo crowd, in our "conference lounge":

latin america, openoffice.org, consultants, community
...
Yesterday night I recieved an email from an Ecuatorian consultant on migration techniques to adopt
OpenOffice.org on several government organizations. The Plan seems tempting but I wonder why it took so long to contact me. He used to be on the skype contact list however for some reason I never saw him.
The talk was interested and it might be the key to getting people on board to build the proposal wiki page. However the main issue is the disposition to contribute back to the community. I am looking for good support but I am not holding my breath.
I direct him to
Luis Vasquez which is one of our premier OOo consultant in latinoamerica. I hope this result on some business to Luis since I know he is a great consultant and know what he is doing. This will also motivate him to contribute more constantly to the community. If it's good for business is good for all of us.

presentation, community, OOoES, OOo
...
2 Weeks ago I have a talk about OpenOffice.org and the way the community is constructed, the talk was kind of rushed but I think I did a good job. You can see the presentation
http://www.alexandrocolorado.com/galeria/ooo/GLO_Presentacion.html. So here are some of the pictures I got from the talk:
You can see the rest in the album.
The talk was mainly written about the community, with the different projects and area that OpenOffice.org is divided. I basically divided the activities of the community into 4, from promotion, development, support and localization.
I also explain into how OOo is constructed, it's
UNO API and also ways they can go to contribute and where the resources are out there.
