FOSDEM

[jan i <ja...@apache.org>]

Hi

Seen with the eyes of Corinthia. FOSDEM was not that interesting.

I gave a 20 minutes presentation, which was well received. I got quite a
number of questions afterwards, but we clearly need to have a release where
the editor works.

I had a good discussion with a representative from val-soc (a setup similar
to google summer of code, but the students earn academic merit instead of
being paid).

We defined 3 projects, which targeted the academic students:
- make a compliance document for officedocument implementations
The idea is that implementors should fill out this document and state which
otionsl parts they have implemented etc.
- make and/or collect ODF/OOXML documents that test the above.
Important it is a test of single features not the combinations
- program a test harness that using the above creates a list of potential
conflicts between 2 implementations.

We should get registered this week, and then I have to put some flesh on
it. Students need to pick projects before mid march, and they run until
June.

have fun
jan i

Jan, et al.,
One of the markets I’ve always seen as possible lies with academia. Students (and profs; but also admins) as developers, contributors, but also users of the promised Corinthia functionality.

I used to know people involved in Brussels’ education system; they loved ODF. But that was a while ago. I still have connections with them, however, as I do with those in France. As Corinthia is not Apache OpenOffice, it ought not to matter that most of those whom I used to know professionally are now associating with LO.
