I checked out OOo300m45 from the subversion repository yesterday. Today I build OOo out of this source without binfilter, with-system-mozilla and without-ldap on an netbook with an Atom 270 processor and openSuSE 11.1 The buildtime in this environment was about 13 hours and 15 minutes. I got now a installation set of rpm files on my box. Tomorrow I'll install and test them.

In the last days I managed to upgrade the site of our assoziation OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V. (OOoDeV) from Joomla 1.0.15 to 1.5.9. There are many new features inside this new version. Everything that we need to run our site is part of Joomla-Core now. The most difficult work was to set the old search engine friendly URLs to the same pages inside the new site. Today we get the solution for this. Now every thing is finished and the new site will go online in the next days.
If you come across to our site (http://www.ooodev.org) you won't see anything different. The impressive changes are inside Joomla. Every thing works now more smoothly.

Last weekend I set up a local installation of the current Joomla CMS, that we use to manage the website of our association OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V. I used this local installation to check, if an upgrade to the current version 1.5.9 of Joomla works.
I had to use a special migration component, because there are some significant changes of the database structure. I installed this component inside the old Joomla instance and ran the migration script. At the end I exported the converted mysql database.
Next I created a new empty database inside my mysql instance, installed Joomla 1.5.9 and connected it to the new database. Then I installed inside the new Joomla instance a migration assistant and imported the converted database.
Next I installed some additional components and plugins and activated some components. Now every thing works on my laptop as expected.
Now we can setup a new instance in the wild and try to migrate the site of OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V.
I think we will manage this within a week.

On Sunday, the 8th of March I will give a presentation about OpenOffice.org Portable 3.0.1 at the Cebit 2009. My presentation take place in the OpenSouce Forum / Hall 6 at 1:00 pm.

Today my new Logitech Presenter 2.4 GHz arrived. I tested it on my notebook with openSUSE 10.3 and OpenOffice.org 3.0.1. It works perfect. The presentation starts after I pressed the key with "F5" on it. The arrow keys works also fine. Now I'm looking forward to my presentation about OpenOffice.org Portable that I will give at the Cebit on the 8th of March.
