OOo Postings

Links for the end of October

I am bit swamped these days, and you must have noticed it by now. These things happen: lots of work items, lots of backlog, and lots of exhaustion as well. Since I don’t want to leave this blog « unattended » for even 2 or three weeks, I am posting today some …

The Speech

Louis Suarez-Potts uploaded the speech he gave on the OOo 3 Launch Party both in English and in French. Mine was given in French for obvious reasons. I thought some of my francophone readers would be interested in it as well. Enjoy!   Bonsoir, et merci à tous d’être là. …

The Party, the Crash, and the 3.0

Now it’s been days, and more than a week I haven’t blogged. The reason is simple: I was swamped. But I ended up exhausted and happy. We’ve been releasing the 3.0. Yes, we did it, and we also threw a major party at the headquarters of the Region Île de …

Miscellanea before leaving on vacation

Microsoft’s road to Canossa

Who would have believed it a few months ago? Who could tell Microsoft would “clarify” the coverage of its OSP and extend it to cover the GPL and FOSS developers as well as users? Clearly, pigs might actually fly, and Groklaw does think the same way. As it was not …

Reading list for a rainy July day

Here’s a very interesting, down-to-earth page about the iPhone by the FSF. It’s worth remembering this kind of issues that come along with the iPhone, as much beautiful and enticing it is.
