The OOoAuthors uses the Content Management System Plone for writing, reviewing and publishing of Documentation about OpenOffice.org. The documents themselfs are created with the Office-Suite of the year 2010 - OpenOffice.org.
The Plone CMS for OOoAuthors was initialized with a buildout script. This makes an update to a newer version of Plone (i.e. a bugfix release) very fast. It takes less than 20 minutes.

In a few days the OpenOffice.org Conference 2009 take place in Orvieto. I'll give there two presentations. On 4. November I speak about OpenOffice.org Portable and a new built enviroment for this special version of OpenOffice.org. This environment will make it very easy to create a new portable version.

On the 5th of November 2009 I'm going to give a presentation about OOoPortable at the OOoCon 2009 in Orivieto / Italy. There are some new features in the development pipe and I'll present them at the conference.

OpenOffice.org is nominated for the Sourceforge Community Choice Awards in the categorie "Best Project for Government".

If you are a member of Sourceforge, please vote for OpenOffice.org. The voting closes at 20th of July. You can vote here: http://sourceforge.net/community/cca09/.

There are another great project, that you should vote for: PortableApps.com. This project provides us with many portable applications, which you can use from an USB-Stick, i.e. OpenOffice.org Portable.

Last week I held a presentation about OpenOffice.org Portable at the Linuxtag 2009 in Berlin (see picture below). There was a track about OpenOffice.org at this leading event of openSource software in Europe. As last year I had to open this track with my presentation. So I had to leave the social event "Linuxnacht" on Thursday not too late ;-)



We got one of the bigger lecture halls for our OOo-Track and there were many people to follow our presentations. Florian spoke about central configuration of OOo in a network. Christoph gave a very exciting talk about our project Renaissance.
