Community +RE (report from the Bleeding Edge)

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

Pavel Janík - +independent consultant
+

Developers' life is much +easier now than it was in 1.x times. Much +easier. We have EIS, child workspaces, we can do QA etc. The +development process is open in several aspects. There are dark places +though.
+In his presentation, Pavel will talk about his experiences with +developer milestones, his build system and about his findings about +processes of Hamburg RE. He will bring several interesting (and +potentially conflicting) questions. Could public tinderbox help Sun +engineers identify potential conflicts between Sun build environment +and community environment? Can community member change the community +build environment without changes in Sun build environment? How can the +member of community fix P1 build issues effectively? More milestones a +week: can we follow them at all? Master fixes and moving tags after the +milestone is ready: should it be announced?
+Sun only child workspaces and their effect on the development process +(bugs in Sun internal bug tracking system, description of child +workspace vs. every change in CVS).
+
+Target: developers from both Sun RE and the community +interesting in experiences from the hell^H^H^H^Hbleeding edge, problems +and proposed solutions
+

Biography: Pavel +Janík is long time user and developer of GNU/Linux and free +software applications, member of GNU project. He is a member of +OpenOffice.org Community Council, OpenOffice.org Engineering Steering +Committee, co-lead of l10n project and lead of Czech Native-Language +project. He provides regular builds of development milestones for more +than 20 languages and GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows and MacOS X +operating systems.
+In his other life, he is an independent consultant working for various +public and government companies, agencies and institutions in Czech +republic and EU.

Entering +the OOo Community

+ + + + + + + + + +

Andre +Schnabel
+

The aim of this session +is to give a general overview of the projects +and its organization, but also tips to enter into a project.
+This session will have 3 axes in a first time :
+

the overall project +structure (Accepted, Incubator, NLC, CC) and its communication flow
the organization +inside a project and how the NLC could be a bridge +between the development project and the NL project, keeping people in +touch and introducing people to those projects.
the +documents (like specs template and features described in IZ) +and tools used for collaboration (Licenses, JCA, CVS, EIS)

+NL projects are not independent entities, they are the first +step to +belong to a community and learn how to behave in it. For those who +wants to go further, the need of picturing the OOo community is a +requirement. Aside the structure, there are general principles that are +available in any FOSS community like: aiming dialog and consensus, +sharing knowledge and power, personal responsibility, confidence.
+This means for example that competencies are promoted and recognized +not as personal contributions but for what they bring to the project. +In the same way some are projects leads, but only contributors in other +projects.
+In conclusion, contributing to a project is based on an ethic of +discussion and respect for others.
+
+Target audience: All people from NLC (or not :-) willing to contribute +to a project in OOo community for the first time.

The +State of the Project Year 5

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

Louis Suarez-Potts - +Community Manager, OpenOffice.org/CollabNet

This talk recapitulates +the events of the last year and then looks +forward to what the next year and beyond might hold for +OpenOffice.org. Topics include:
+

What the past year has +produced and how the project has evolved;
What we can do to +enhance developer contributions:
Changing license is +but one measure
Improving the build +process
Re-architecting OOo to +make it more modular
License change

+And then there is 3.0 and beyond. How can OOo capture more +attention? +There is the well-known proposal for OpenOffice.org Lite, which would +require a re-architecting of the code. But it may be done if +mobile +phone companies and others get involved, for it is a very popular +notion, one that merits more investigation.
+
+Target audience: General
+

Biography: Louis +Suarez-Potts has been the community manager of OpenOffice.org +since close to its beginning. He is also the chair of the +Community +Council and the lead of several projects on OpenOffice.org. He lives in +Toronto.

Localizing +OpenOffice.org

+ + + + + + + + + + + +

Monica Badia +- Italian Language Lead, Sun Microsystems
+

In June 2004, Sun +Microsystems Inc. and OO.o started a Localization +Pilot Process with the aim of improving the collaboration effort both +in translation and localization testing (see: +http://l10n.openoffice.org/localization/L10n_pilotprocess.html). Now +that the short term goals have been reached, we would like to
+

share our experience +during this pilot in the specific areas Translation and Testing
consolidate and set up +the long term localization process.

+The Globalization team of SMI would like to present in a BOF session +the following topics:
+

the general +Localization Pilot Process
the Italian Success +Story which will provide the audience with detailled information on the +Translation process
the linguistic review +process
the translation tools
the Localization +Testing and TCM tool
OO.o 2.0 Dutch +localization:an example of how Sun / Sun appointed vendors / +and NL OO.o Communities can work together.
the translation +process automation – how Sun is setting up a process to +automate the file exchange with the OO.o and how the OO.o Community +will benefit from the future automation.

+Target audience: All members of the communities interested in the L10N +of OO.o and in a collaboration with SMI
+

Biographies:
+
+Dott. Monica Badia: Italian Language Lead at Sun Microsystems. She is +responsible for the quality control of Sun localized products in +Italian. She is also lead of the linguistic QA Matrix and linguistic +review process for the European languages. She counts a 6 +year +experience at Sun Microsystems in the field of localization. From +1999to 2003 she was assigned to the translation and L10N +testing of +StarOffice in Italian. +

The +Lingucomponent Project – linguistic tools in OpenOffice.org

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

Daniel Naber - Software +developer, IntraFind Software AG, Munich, Germany
+

The Lingucomponent +project is responsible for spell checking, thesauri, +and grammar checking inside OpenOffice.org. I will show where OOo's +spell checking and thesaurus features stand today, how they differ from +those in StarOffice and how the community can enhance them. One +important thing is of course extending these features to new languages. +This is a fair amount of work, but it doesn't require programming +skills and I'll demonstrate the approaches that make these tasks +feasible.
+
+New thesauri can be built using OpenThesaurus, a PHP-driven website +that allows the community to work on a new thesaurus or to maintain an +existing one. Writing dictionaries is a task that's not well +supported by tools, but +I'll show the basic ideas behind MySpell – OOo's integrated +spell +checker – and how to get started writing your own spelling +dictionary. For grammar checking, I will show what is still missing to +integrate a grammar checking into OOo.
+
+Also, the concept of a programming interface for spell checking and +thesauri will be explained which allows everybody to plug in his own +spell checkers and thesauri.
+
+Targeted audience: developers, but not necessarily programmers
+

Biography: Daniel Naber +studied computer science and linguistics at the +University of Bielefeld, Germany. He now works at a software company in +Munich that specializes in enhancing fulltext search with linguistic +methods. He's author of OpenThesaurus, a web application that's used to +maintain the German (www.openthesaurus.de), Polish, and Spanish +thesaurus for OpenOffice.org. He also wrote LanguageTool, an English +grammar checker that can be adapted for other languages.

The +Localization Process

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

Alessandro Cattelan
+

The Italian OpenOffice +project is reorganizing the +localization process +in order to improve the quality of the translation and to keep it as +up-to-date as possible.
+We would like to propose the organization of a BOF where translators +could discuss how to best carry out the translation process. We would +like to focus on the following issues:
+

the importance of +Translation Memories (TM) and glossaries;
CAT tools (which CAT +tool is best for the OOo localization);
how to work with a CAT +tool;
workflow (how to +organize the work of the translators +– structure of a +translation team, mailing lists, TM and glossaries repositories, +stylistic guides, etc.);
coordination of the +various national groups.

+Target audience: Translators and people interested in the +localization process.
+

Biography: Currently +specializing in translation at the +Advanced School +of Modern Languages for Interpreters and Translators (SSLMIT), Trieste, +Italy.
+Working as a freelance translator and language teacher.
+I am currently co-operating with the Italian OpenOffice +project +team for the localization into Italian of the suite.

Localization – the tools and the people

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

Adam Rambousek - Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk +University +

This session will present the localization framework used by +many +native language projects with brief overview of tools available for +translators and project leaders. In addition to technical aspects, also +people are important for successful localization. I will present the +experiences in attracting, choosing and retaining project contributors, +organizing them to cooperate on translation and evaluating their work. +And also, I will talk about collaboration with users on finding bugs in +localized texts.
+Target audience: +Anyone interested in localization process +

Biography: +I'm the member of Czech native language project for a few years and +from the beginning of this year I'm the translation co-lead. Also, I'm +a student at the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University in Brno and +I'm developing dictionary writing system in the Natural Language +Processing Laboratory at FI MU.

Bug +hunting Party

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

André Schnabel
+

To give the daily work +of our QA team a boost, the best way +is to come together and do the job.
+There have been some virtual bug hunting days within the recent years, +organized via IRC. We want to do the same but invite people to meet +each other, talk to each other, spread their knowledge and go for a bug +hunt.
+After a short introduction of the daily work of a qu member, we would +simply start doing it. That means searching issuezilla for unconfirmed +issues, try to confirm them, look for duplicates or even already +resolved issues.
+People should bring a notebook with them, if possible.
+For the session we will need wired / wireless internet access.
+
+Target audience: Community members, current and future members of the +QA team
+

Biography: I'm member of +the OpenOffice.org project since May 2002, mainly doing documentation, +user support and QA.

+Internationalization for Localization (l10n for i18n) +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

+Eike Rathke - Software Engineer, Sun Microsystems +
+

+The presentation will talk about the internationalization of the OpenOffice.org +application suite, internationalization that enables the software to run with +different localizations, hence the title "i18n for l10n". The presentation will +not cover the steps of localization and translation. Planned coverage is an +overview of the history of the i18n framework and its API, why it is there, +what it does, how it developed, how it interfaces with other components, for +example the ICU (International Components for Unicode), its relation with the +CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository), and how it is used by the applications. +I'll focus on how to add data and features for new locales, extensibility and +difficulties. Current obstacles and problems, ideas how to solve them and other +plans will give an outlook on what can be done in the near and not so near +future. Depending on the audience there will be a more or less extensive Q&A +session at the end. Since it is not possible to cover all aspects in a 30-40 +minutes presentation, I'll gather topics and opinions on the dev@l10n mailing +list during preparation to hopefully be able to satisfy the needs. +

Biography: +Eike Rathke was born 1959 in Hamburg, Germany. +Several years of travelling through Europe doing this and that. +He started working with computers in 1986 when in an education as +a technician for electronics, and beginning with traineeship he developed +hardware (a bit) and software for computer-aided production data acquisition +and quality assurance and sticked with that for some years, focusing on +software development. He joined StarDivision in 1993, and the StarCalc +application's team in 1994. Since 2000 he is also deeply involved with the +i18n framework, partly arisen from the various needs of the +number formatter used in Calc and other applications, +and the try to coordinate the related work. +

Florian Reuter - +Software Engineer, StarOffice Writer, Sun Microsystems
+

In +our talk we will show how the OpenDocument interfaces of OpenOffice.org +Writer are used. We address the XSL(T) as well as the UNO-SAX interface.
+Additionally we will highlight the possibilities which arise using +these interfaces in XML processing and outline the capibilities of the +open, standardized OpenDocument in these scenarios.
+

Biography: Florian Reuter +is the responsible engineer for the StarOffice Writer DOC, RTF, WordML +and ODT filters. He also is a member of the OASIS OpenDocument TC.

OpenOffice.org +and XUL – Embedding Gecko in OOo

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

Stephan Schäfer +- Software Engineer, Sun Microsystems
+

The +user interface of OpenOffice.org is based on its own graphical toolkit +that comes with a proprietary resource system. Dialogs are defined by +simple text files that contain descriptions of the controls, their +labels, and their size and position. During the build process those +text files are compiled into binary files used at runtime. The dialog +logic that instantiates the controls and that defines their behavior +has to be written in C++.
+This approach has several disadvantages. There is the need to recompile +parts of OpenOffice.org in order to make changes to the appearance or +behavior of a dialog. A layout functionality is completely missing that +would automatically reposition or resize controls in response to +changes in dialog size or language settings. Additionally, there is no +API that would enable developers to write external components using a +rich user interface like the native components shipped with +OpenOffice.org.
+A different approach is successfully used by applications based on the +Mozilla Platform. Their resource system is an XML application called +XUL (XML User-interface Language) that combines a scripting language +(JavaScript) with GUI widgets. Mozilla's Gecko engine that is normally +used to display web content is able to render XUL files and comes with +layout management and support for style sheets and skins.
+This talk will present the results of a feasibility study that is about +embedding the Gecko engine in OpenOffice.org. Its impact on dialog +design, prototyping and implementation will be discussed and a possible +long-term migration path will be proposed. A live demo will show a +prototype displaying sample dialogs written in XUL and JavaScript and +demonstrating additional applications of this approach.
+

Biography: Stephan is +working as a software engineer with Sun where he is doing full-time +development for StarOffice/OpenOffice.org. As lead of the GSL +project at OpenOffice.org he is responsible for the visual class +library (VCL) which serves as the GUI foundation and platform +abstraction for the different supported window systems. Before joining +Sun he spent his time doing research in the field of 3D computer +graphics and managed to receive a PhD in computer science..

Deploying +OpenOffice.org extensions through UNO packages

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

Paolo Mantovani
+

Uno +packages are the predefined system for deploying OpenOffice.org +extensions.
+Although this system is very effective and powerful, until now it +wasn't very popular among users and developers, especially because of +its interface, based on the command line.
+OpenOffice.org 2.0 offers a simple graphical user interface for the +installation and the maintenance of UNO packages and this will increase +their use and popularity.
+This session aims to give some background informations in order to work +effectively with UNO packages.
+Outline:
+

Introduction
How to start with UNO +packages
Common problems in +deploying software
persistent informations
text and binary +resources
localization of user +interface
Background: the +OpenOffice.org configuration registry
Building your own +registry extensions
Demonstration: a +simple UNO package, written in OOBasic

Biography: Paolo +Mantovani 38, married with Cristina and father of two wonderful +children, Umberto and Marta.
+Member of PLIO (the OpenOffice.org Italian language project)
+He works in the field of electrical plants and industrial automation. +His passion for the BASIC language goes back to many years ago. He has +developed with various BASIC dialects, mainly with VB/VBA and since the +second +half of 2001 he discovered OpenOffice.org and its macros.
+He has released several Uno packages, freely available on http://www.ooomacros.org
+He's also the author of the code-snippet creator, a tool of +the code-snippet +base project.

+ + Dhananjay Keskar - Software Architect, Intel Corporation +
+ Michael Leibowitz - Software Engineer, Intel Corporation + +
+

We are interested in +OpenOffice on Linux starting up and opening documents faster, for +example, under 2 seconds for normal documents on a modern PC with +reasonable memory and fast processor. Recent work by the community has +resulted in significant improvements. To further contribute towards +that end, we have recently started profiling and refactoring OpenOffice +code.
+
+In this session, we will present our profiling results and analysis of +CPU utilization, memory usage and disk access traces. In addition, we +hope to demonstrate automated performance regression tools that we are +developing, which can be incorporated in the QA & release +process.
+
+We will also discuss approaches and patches which promise improved +start-up times. Ideally, we would then reconvene in a BOF session to +brainstorm further on ideas, approaches and future directions and +coordinate our work with community members.

Biography: Dhananjay +Keskar is a Software Architect in the Channel Software Operation at +Intel Corporation, in Oregon, USA. He is currently working on improving +OpenOffice performance along with team members in Oregon and Beijing. +In his prior life at Intel Labs, he prototyped new applications and +usage mechanisms and played with information management, +personalization and ubiquitous computing technologies. +
+ Michael Leibowitz is a software engineer at Intel's Channel Software + Operation, where he works on openoffice.org. Before coming to Intel, he + worked in the embedded system space in various capacities, including as + a co-founder of StateMachines, LLC an embedded Linux startup. +

Organizational +and psychological determinants of +OpenOffice.org suite adoption

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

Salvatore +Zappalà - +Professor, Università di Bologna - Facoltà di +Psicologia
+Maurizio Berti - Yacme Srl - Bologna
+

The adoption of new +technologies is a process related to +economical and +technical reasons as well as organizational and psycho-social factors.
+At the end of 2004, Ospedali Galliera of Genova (a large hospital, over +600 pc's and 1200 employees) decided to turn to Open Formats by +replacing Microsoft Office with OpenOffice.org. The migration is still +in progress and is expected to get to completion within July +2005. The +process needed proper migration planning, targeted +communication +(which was given remarkable importance so that everybody could share +the reasons of that change), employees' training and post-migration +support.
+In this scenario, organizational and individual variables, developed in +the organizational psychology field, were measured through +questionnaires, as it was expected that more positive attitudes towards +OpenOffice.org could influence its acceptance and adoption.
+
+The dependent variables of the research were:
+

attitudes, usefulness +and easiness of new software
acceptance and sharing +of organizational change

+Main predictors of the attitudes, measured through the questionnaire, +were:
+

“Organizational +climate for innovation”
organizational and +group support,
the individual sense +of being able to manage one’s +own problems +(“general self-efficacy”) and problems with +computers +(“computers +self-efficacy”).

+On-line and paper questionnaires were submitted to the employees who +attended the training sessions. Data collection is still in progress.
+
+During the presentation:
+

the complete design of +the migration plan and the research
the preliminary +results, that show organizational and +individual +variables supporting or slowing down the acceptance and adoption of +OpenOffice.org.

+Target audience: Public Administration and and Enterprise
+

Biographies: Salvatore +Zappalà, professor in the Faculty of Psychology of +Bologna +University, focuses on “Psychology of work and +organizations”. He currently teaches “Psychology +of +economical behaviour” in the“Psychology of +organizations +and services” graduation program.
+ Maurizio +Berti has been a +partner of Yacme company of Bologna since September 2000.
+ He's +the supervisor of Yacme's +OpenOffice.org division and is mainly involved in migration process +management and training.

Cambodia: +Re-computerization of the Country based +on localized OpenOffice.org 2.0

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

Javier Solá - +Coordinator – Khmer Software +Initiative, Open Forum of Cambodia NGO

The Cambodian +Government’s Master Plan for the +Deployment of FOSS, +whose center-piece is Khmer language OpenOffice 2.0, plans full +migration of Government offices within the next year. All government +teacher training centers will only teach OpenOffice, following the +training materials and the certification program developed by the Open +Forum of Cambodia NGO.
+Fully translated and operational versions of OOo 2.0 (including help) +are already being used for training of trainers in the training center +of NiDA (National Information Communications Technology Development +Authority), producing 30 new prepared teachers every week. For this +program, Open Forum has already developed 45 hours worth of OOo 2.0 +training materials (including teacher instructions), student handouts, +exercises, evaluation materials and 20 hours of training-for-trainers +materials. All this is supported by a certification program that will +help standardization of computer education in the country
+The strength of the program is based on the fact that there are no +proprietary computer tools translated to Khmer language, turning users +into demanders of local-language software, and showing that language is +strongest added value to FOSS adoption.
+The strategy is to distribute first OpenOffice (and other localized +FOSS applications) on Windows, in order to enlist the support of +computer vendors and the training industry (not trying to make them +change to Linux immediately), and then change to KDE on Windows and +then on Linux, a small change for users that will already be spending +95% of their computer work time working on FOSS Khmer language +applications.
+Thanks to OpenOffice 2.0 Cambodia is on the way of becoming the first +country in the world in which s FOSS productivity suite will be more +used than proprietary software.
+
+Target audience: Marketing - localisers

Biography: Javier +Solá is the coordinator of the Khmer OS Initiative, a +NGO-based +project aimed at producing free software in Khmer language. He is also +directing a project to develop an "Open Source Localization Toolkit" +addressed to small economies that wish to start localization projects. +He participates in some specific Open Source projects that attempt to +facilitate localization processes. His interest on Open Source derives +from the believe that it can be used to reduce the digital divide +through localization. He is interested on finding working strategies +for wide distribution of Open Source software in poor countries. He is +the author of the localization documentation for OpenOffice 2.0

Imagining +An OpenOffice.org Foundation
+

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

Louis Suarez-Potts - +Community Manager, +OpenOffice.org/CollabNet

This talk examines the +pros and cons of an OpenOffice.org +Foundation. +That is, one that would hold not just funds for marketing and +development but the source's IP. There has long been +discussion +on the +issue, but for various usually good reasons little action, unless +strategic inaction counts. I briefly discuss the history of +that +inaction, the various calls for a foundation and their usually tacit +rebutalls. I then examine the current situation and how an +OpenOffice.org might look and work, what model it should follow and how +it should be set up.
+

Biography: Louis +Suarez-Potts has been the community manager of +OpenOffice.org since close to its beginning. He is also the +chari +of +the Community Council and the lead of several projects on +OpenOffice.org. He lives in Toronto.

Although the roots of +open-source and free software reach back to +the very start of the development of computer products, it is only +recently that, together with the related business models, it has +become increasingly prominent and competitive with proprietary +software. Open-source software is not just transitional in nature. +The state administration of the Republic of Slovenia has been aware of +its existence and importance for at least a number of years. The +administration has been diligently using it, particularly in the area +of servers and network support systems, since at least the mid-90s, a +period in which the need for such solutions, the rising number of +users and the ongoing rationalisation of operations. To +support open-source software the state administration of the +Republic of Slovenia has invested in a lot of OSS projects.

Open discussion about OpenOffice.org programmability features

+ + + + + + + + + +

Juergen Schmitd and Stefan Bergmann
+

+We invite you to an open discussion about the programmability features +of OpenOffice.org. The intention of this discussion is to get direct +feedback about the current situation and the existing features and to +get ideas what we can do to make it more attractive and easier to +develop for OpenOffice.org. We would like to address several topics in +this discusson:
+- what can we do to increase the developer community (related to +extension, e.g. add-ons, macro libraries, ...) +- how can we increase and improve our code snippet base on +api.openoffice.org (more snippets, ensuring quality, extend to complete +examples, ...)
+- who can help to prepare developer documentation for different +abstaction levels and skills. The current Developer's Guide is more for +experts and we need further documentaiton for beginners. We need +specific documentation for Basic users as well as for Java, C++, CLI or +Python. Different kind of documentation reaching from best practise, +over short 5-pagers describing a single aspect to complete guides for +larger API areas (e.g. writer API).
+We, that are Juergen Schmidt (project lead of the API project) and +Stephan Bergmann (project lead of the UDK project), are looking forward +to an open discussion with interested community members to share ideas, +start new collaborations with others and to drive this important +programmability aspect for OpenOffice.org forward. +

+- What initiatives are carried out to enforce the combined usage of both +OpenOffice.org and ECDL certification.
+- What materials are in development to help people use OpenOffice.org to +take the ECDL certification in Italy.
+- What versions of OpenOffice.org are already supported. What training +material is available (both certified and not). +- What ATES can be used.
