Release-party, Hackfest and T-DOSE

The coming month I'll go to a few Open Source events again. The events are a Release-party for Ubuntu, a Hackfest for LibreOffice and T-DOSE Workshop Weekend.

Dutch Hackfest on 9th of June

I'm happy to hear that a new Dutch Hackfest for LibreOffice has been planned. This event will take place at the 9th of June in Utrecht. The NLLGG has agreed we can use a room at their meeting. More information will be announced but everyone is welcome to help with LibreOffice. For more information see the wiki (Dutch) or mail discuss@nl.libreoffice.org for more information

Hamburg Hackfest 2012

Last weekend I was at the Hamburg Hackfest. My main goal was to get more knowledge about the source-code of LibreOffice and to exchange some ideas about how to improve the QA as that is a weak point at the moment.

Compileren van LibreOffice

In het afgelopen jaar is het compileren van -, en programmeren aan LibreOffice enorm veranderd. Ik ben zelf een lijst gaan bijhouden met de meest belangrijke zaken voor mij om te onthouden. Deze keer ga ik dit online zetten in de vorm van een Nederlandse HOWTO voor het compileren van –, en programmeren aan LibreOffice in Linux.

Libreoffice Hackfest(en)

Volgend weekend heeft de Nederlandstalige LibreOffice-community weer een Hack/Documentatie-dag georganiseerd voor iedereen de geïnteresseerd is om mee te helpen. Ik ga er zeker weer naartoe.
Deze keer is het, net als vorige keer weer in Woerden. Zie de ervaringen van de vorige keer in het artikel Testing LibreOffice 3.5 Part 2.

Mint/Gnome 3 Uitgeprobeerd

Venster-scherm in GNOME3

Laatst op FOSDEM heb ik GNOME 3 in actie gezien bij de stand van GNOME. Ik was na de demo wel enthousiast. Dus ik heb Mint geïnstalleerd met de GNOME 3-desktop manager. Ik werk er nu meer dan een maand mee en ik moet zeggen dat ik erg tevreden ben. Maar er zijn nog wel tekortkomingen.

LibreOffice 3.5.0 Released

LibreOffice 3.5.0 has been released today by the document foundation. I'm happy that LibreOffice is going fast in the good direction. There are a lot of new features and improvements.

Supporting Software

At FOSDEM last year I saw a presentation about the Mozilla support structure. I was really happy to see that some people where seriously thinking how to deliver support for a big Open Source product with only a few people in payed service and the rest as volunteers. This year I talked to the presenter about the problem and I'm still interested in the way they set up their support.

Android meet F-Droid

A few days ago I heard of a colleague of mine about F-Droid. F-Droid is an App-market for FOSS (Free and Open Source Software). I really like it because in the App-market from Google you can't say that you want, or prefer, Open Source Software, I mean you can hardly search on anything in the Google market.

Testing LibreOffice 3.5 Part 2

This Saturday was the 2nd bug hunting-session of LibreOffice 3.5. The dutch LibreOffice-community organized a session in Woerden at the office of The Security Academy. The event wasn't busy but we where able to do quite some work. Here I tell about it!
