LiMux at Kieler Linux und Open Source Days

This is a short summary of my first visit to the Kieler Linux und Open Source Days in Kiel, the capital of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany's north.

Kieler Linux und Open Source Days is a regional exhibition and conference aiming at new users of Free Software and GNU/Linux in particular. The conference takes place in the "KITZ" (Kiel Center of Innovation and Technology) which is currently home to more than sixty companies (closed- and open source).

While Floschi attended the OpenWorldForum , i happily accepted to give the keynote in Kiel, talk about LiMux, Linux in general and last but not least: Do some networking.

The keynote went pretty well, not to mention the fact that OO Impress ate some of the pics in my presentation. Some extra laughs for the audience ;-)

Many pepole were interested in the details of our project, what the main problems are and how we solved them. I got some nice input and hours of chat and discussion flew by so fast it was a blur! The Wollmux was interesting to some attendees, also. One might think the Wollmux userbase will grow soon.

Reminder to all:
If you have any questions regarding the Wollmux, we have an official Mailinglist for all WollMux-related issues, including end-user and developer questions: http://www.wollmux.org/index.php/Mailing_Lists

Thank you for the warm (not as in weather, but nevertheless) welcome!

Finally, i hope the event will be taking place next year again and get some more attention of the local university (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel).

As usual, my slides will be available from planetlimux.org.

First Debian Bugreport regarding Wollmux

Debian just got it's first bug report regarding our beloved WollMux!

As you might already know, the Wollmux is an OpenOffice.org plugin developed by the Municipality of the City of Munich, Bavaria.

Buenos Aires panorama

Since this bug has been fixed in lenny, i finally managed to get hugin and autopano to work together properly.

The result is a pretty nice panorama of Buenos Aires. Pictures have been taken on my hotels rooms balcony.

I have uploaded a full resolution version (7526x2242 px).

wollmux under os x with neooffice - first try

i just tried gettting our wollmux running under os x with neooffice. Everything went extremely well.

Some foreseen path issues initially prevented the unopkg installation and WollmuxBar is no yet running, but it should not take too much time to get a smooth working installation.

Perhaps next weekend, if my motivation is big enough ;-)

Here are some screenshots of my test environment at home:
