ODF@WWW - Video of my Talk at the OOoConf 2008
Kay Ramme

As promised, just a quick heads up regarding the video of my talk at the OOoConf 2008. I uploaded it to Sun Learning eXchange, to make it more convenient to view ... and if I had known how, I would have placed it inline ;-)

Best regards

ODF@WWW - Heading for 0.1
Kay Ramme

In my last posting I promised to notify you, the moment the video of my ODF@WWW talk on the OOo Conf 2008 becomes available. Peter Junge from RedFlag CH2000 just forwarded it to me, so I assume that it will be available to the public soon.

Meanwhile I was not lazy, some basic pages of the ODF@WWW project are there, the mailings lists have been created (though there is not much traffic yet), I nearly have fixed / implemented / changed most things to get a 0.1 ready and we now even have a picture of some core team members (Lutz, me, Stefan):

As Frank Peters recommended at the OOo Conf, we should directly use a ODF-Wiki to work on and to develop the ODF@WWW stuff. For exactly that reason I am heading for 0.1. The current version has been deployed at http://odf-at-www.services.openoffice.org , documentation is not complete yet and I am 100% sure there are issues.

If you want to help with the projects documentation etc. just drop me a note, I create an account for you on this brand new ODF-Wiki (account management is still missing ... as many other things ;-)

Have fun

ODF@WWW - OOo Conf 2008
Kay Ramme

It took me a moment to catch my breath again coming back from this years OOo Conference. The Conference really was a great success and I would like to very much thank all the people (Flora, Peter, Mr. Hu, ...) and companies (IBM, Novell, Redflag CH2000, Sun, ...) who made it happen and who took care of all these little things people come up with during such an event.

Back to ODF@WWW. I luckily had the chance to present on ODF@WWW, which I enthusiastically did. You can download my presentation either as or as . For the ones which were not able to participate (and I think you really missed something :-),  you may want to take a look at the recorded talk, I am going to post it here the moment it becomes available.

One important milestone for the ODF@WWW thing now has actually been achieved. Since last week ODF@WWW is an Official Incubator Project :-) You find it's home page at http://odf-at-www.openoffice.org.


Best Regards

         Kay

ODF@WWW - Becoming an (Incubator) Project
Kay Ramme
Hi OOo Folks,

one or the other may already have heard of a pet project of mine, namely the "ODF@WWW". One important milestone for this effort is becoming an Incubator Project.

Hereby I officially like to announce, that I am heading for ODF@WWW becoming an Incubator Project.

That means that later on I am going to ask you to show your interest and to vote for ODF@WWW, this is required as of our policies.

If you think that this desire is no valid, or otherwise flawed, please reply (either publicly or privately, at your convenience).

To get your interest and hopefully your support, I would like to give the motivation:

"The ODF@WWW project aims to develop companion products for ODF and OpenOffice.org to extend their reach into the WWW. The first planned product is an ODF Wiki, allowing to edit server side ODF documents WYSIWYG with the OpenOffice.org application suite, providing HTML and ODF access via HTTP respectively WebDAV, actually making the WWW as easy editable as classical documents, such as text documents, spreadsheets, presentations or drawings."

I already created some pages in the OOo Wiki around ODF@WWW, where you can find all the details, including a screencast and installation instructions for the prototype.


Thanks for listening and support

Kay

ODF@WWW - Some State
Kay Ramme

Just as to give a brief overview on ODF@WWW.

This is the YouTube video I uploaded a while ago, it has been watched roughly a 3000 times :-) Recently I uploaded it to the Sun Learning eXchange as well, quality seems to be much better. The genuine version can be found on http://mediacast.sun.com as 720p here.

Here an article by Dmitri Popov published on linux.com and some references to it:

http://www.topix.com/business/accounting/2008/08/turn-openoffice-org-into-a-web-editing-tool-with-odf-www

These are the blog entries I posted on GullFOSS:

ODF@WWW - An ODF Wiki http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS/entry/odf_www_an_odf_wiki
ODF@WWW - How it Works http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS/entry/odf_www_how_it_works
ODF@WWW - Simly Install http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS/entry/odf_www_simply_install
ODF@WWW - Going Forward http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS/entry/odf_www_going_forward

They have been viewed some thousand times, unfortunately I don't have the numbers at hand.

There are some other blogs, which jumped on my postings (some are foreign, such as Rumanian or Japanese :-)

Some comments from various mailing lists and personal mails on ODF@WWW:

- "Wow this is really amazing, finally someone came up with some of my pipe dreams :)"
- "It's an excellent idea, and it is, as you pointed out the tip of the iceberg: what you demoed is the future of OOo."
- "This is great! For wikis to really get used by normal users for company intranets, they need this kind of easy-to-use interface, just as you've developed here!"
- "Outstanding functionality, congrats! I think this is the future ..."
- "This is quite clever indeed. However, to make it really cool it ..."
- "Awesome! (Hey, and the soundtrack was great too)."
- "OHMYGOD! M$ is gonna be so over it!"
- "We really appreciate what you're doing."
- "It’s a great start, and I am looking forward to what Ramme develops next with this project."
- "This is way cool."
- "Congratulations for implementing the ODF@WWW feature. It is really amazing."

Here are the installation instructions and here is the code.

Last but not least I got deployment requests from prominent web sites :-) , which I certainly would like to satisfy, unfortunately the ODF@WWW not is not yet production ready.

 Regards

Kay
