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 training material is available (both certified and not). - What ATES can be used. - What are the times of the process of implementing exams for OpenOffice.org 2.0. |
A get together for those interested in promoting OpenOffice.org in schools and higher education
| Ian Lynch |
| Schools are the future and strategically of pivotal importance to the long term take up of Open Office.org. This meeting will be an opportunity to share ideas and experiences about what improvements we can make to current strategies for increasing the presence of OOo in schools and other educational establishements.
