Back from OOoCon 2008

This year's OpenOffice.org conference in Beijing, China was a success. The OOoCon 2008 was held within the Peking University (PKU). Community members and interested people came from all over the world. Meeting project members from countries like from Japan, Malaysia, Korea, China, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Brazil, Germany, UK, Sweden and from several other countries made this conference so interesting. The OpenOffice.org conference is the most important event to meet with other project members. I attended a lot of conference tracks and talked to a lot of interesting people. Besides the conference program we often were invited to dinners and we had some time to walk through this bombastic city and after the conference I was able to visit the Chinese Great Wall. This architectural world wonder is really impressive.

I'd like to thank everyone from the organizational team from Redflag 2000. They did a tremendous job to coordinate this conference behind the scenes. Anyone interested into my presentation about the distribution and about the release process of OpenOffice.org can download it from here.

I'm looking forward to next year's conference wherever it will be.

Looks like the number of downloads from the Solaris world (both x86 and SPARC) is close to zero.

Download numbers for Solaris are more or less than five times higher compared to Linux 64 bit. Besides the fact that StarOffice is already bundled with Solaris I find the count of ~100000 downloads quite impressive. Compared to the high number of Windows downloads it is from my POV in fact just marginal.
