Hi Folks, It was a great time in Hamburg. Although I took the night-train to travel (it took about 10 hours), I was relaxed thursday morning. We were about 200-250 people from all over the world. It was very nice and interesting to see all the people I only had email contact before in the mailing-lists. I was also happy to see maho@freebsd.org, who does a great job in leading the effort of a localized japanese OpenOffice.org version and helped me quite a bit to commit the freebsd changes to the openoffice repo. Very interesting was the speak from Michael Meeks from Ximian. He modified and adapted OO.org to the look and feel of gnome. It really looks better that way. I'm working to integrate some of the gnome changes which are already present in the tree, into our build, so there will soon be a -WITH_GNOME flag in the Makefile. And of course also the speak of Dan Williams, about the MacOS-X port. They have a lot more problems than we have currently with the BSD port, because the Aqua-Gui is lot different. So for the moment the Mac folks only have a X11 version. Unfortunatly I haven't been able to fix a crash in the sub-project setup2 during the conference, altough I visited the hackers room quite often ;). Regcomp still crashes because a Exception is not catched. I'll look at this next week. And before I forget it, 1.1 looks really promising, there are a bunch of new cool features like "send document as email", or the "macromedia flash" export filter which is really cool for presentations, the "mysql database driver", and the macro recording feature. The 1.1 release of Openoffice.org is scheduled to August 2003, and I promise that we will have a updated port this time. It's also planed after some QA to provide native FreeBSD binarys on the OpenOffice.org download servers.
