Officeshots.org
Dear Apache OpenOffice developers,
as some of you will know we have the 10th ODF plugfest coming up next
week, hosted by the UK Cabinet Office [1] - for which you are all
invited, of course. For that purpose (and to support the UK government
migration to ODF) we are working hard on Officeshots.org. Officeshots is
an automated validation and testing infrastructure that contains
instances of many different office applications (and potentially
different versions), and can be used to see how documents will be opened
and rendered by other ODF consuming applications.
It would be really awesome if someone from the Apache OpenOffice
community would set up a copy of AOO for Officeshots.org (ideally on
multiple platforms and both a trunk version and a release, but lets
start with the basics). This is not a very difficult or time consuming
thing to do, and it can run on a desktop in the background or on a small
virtual machine somewhere. It would however be very useful for interop
testing, because all test documents created during the plugfest can be
automatically pushed to it. Also, the upcoming ODF Autotests
infrastructure can use the same infrastructure.
The manual for installing a factory can be found here:
http://code.officeshots.org/trac/officeshots/wiki/FactoryManual
If you find yourself with an hour of time and the kindness to volunteer,
please register at http://www.officeshots.org and subsequently contact
me to get the appropriate rights to set up a factory.
Best regards,
Michiel Leenaars

I'll try to provide one for the plugfest. I'll probably have it running
on my notebook in a dedicated virtual machine.

It would be more than really awesome. It would be important. I tried to get a free ticket (i.e., get someone else’s money to pay for my going from Toronto) and also debated asking AOO to help with subsidy, but I was also hoping that Svante or Ian Lynch could represent AOO there. (In fact, I thought Ian was planning on it; same too with Svante.)
The ODF event is actually useful, at least judging from prior experiences. Things get done. Also, and of incalculable worth, people meet each other face to face.
It’s not too late, as Michiel points out, and it is important, I think, to have someone versed in AOO and ODF to attend.
