Writer Team Activities at OOoCon 2008

In two weeks our annual conference OOoCon is about to take place in Beijing. Time to point out some Writer Team related events to you.

A must-attend certainly is Oliver-Rainer Wittmann's presentation Writer 3.0 - What's new, what's going on on Friday which sums up the changes and enhancements made for OOo 3.0. Furthermore, Oliver-Rainer will show you some projects which are currently work in progress.

Another presentation that I would like to recommend is Making the New Notes - Community, Cooperation, Concepts given by gold medal winning Maximilian Odendahl, Christoph Noack and Christian Jansen. They will share the experiences made during the implementation of the new Notes feature with you.

Also on Friday, Svante Schubert will talk about The new ODF 1.2 Metadata Framework and its Support in OpenOffice.org 3, which surely will be very interesting both for Writer users and developers.

From a developer's point of view I'm looking forward to Cheng Jian Hong's presentation Visualize Writer Document Structure for Productive Development which will introduce a tool to inspect the Writer core structures. This sounds really promising.

I'm a little bit off my usual tracks when co-hosting the ODFDOM Workshop. We prepared some exercises that will help the participants to gain an understanding of the purpose and feature set of this new API.

If you like to get in contact with us, just approach us when you spot us roaming the halls of the conference venue or drop me an email if you like to schedule an appointment. I'm looking forward to meeting you in Beijing!

Slightly offtopic, but I need some informations about the upcoming OOoCon 2009. Is there already a fixed date and a location? Google has no answers.

Hi Benjamin,

the 'call for location' for OOoCon 2008 ended in February 2008, so I guess you will have to wait until spring 2009 to get any further information.

Hope this helps,

Frank
