* Devroom name: Apache OpenOffice * Description Apache OpenOffice, formerly known as OpenOffice.org, is one of the most popular Free and Open Source software projects. A Top Level Project at the Apache Software Foundation since October 2012, OpenOffice had a new major release, version 4.0, in July 2013, and more than 50 million downloads in the last 12 months. OpenOffice is developed by a large and diverse community, including full-time and part-time core developers, translators, testers, user experience experts, documentation contributors, developers of third-party extensions and templates. * Project URLs - http://www.openoffice.org - http://openoffice.apache.org * Preferred day: Saturday or Sunday - Saturday * Why should FOSDEM accept this proposal? The OpenOffice project is now back to a regular release schedule, is attracting new volunteers and is now able to successfully engage them, also by participating in programs like Google's Summer of Code. An Apache OpenOffice devroom would allow existing volunteers to meet and discuss future developments, and users and potential new volunteers to learn how they can help the project, thanks to presentations and hacking sessions spanning a broad range of topics. Topics that may be interesting for FOSDEM 2014 include: the new user interface, the Sidebar, and the possibilities it offers to developers; the new localization process; the automated testing framework; progress towards a more modern build system. The Apache OpenOffice project is willing to consider a possible suggestion by the organizers for a joint "ODF editors" devroom, dedicated to Apache OpenOffice and to the other Free and Open Source editors using OpenDocument as their native format.
