Thats a great idea. Unfortunately, I'm not a very "old-timer" so I
cannot help with appropriate hardware or software. But maybe with
writting texts or translating from German.

Those who know the history know that Apache OpenOffice is the
continuation of the OpenOffice.org project, which itself came from a
proprietary suite developed in Germany called StarOffice, which itself
started as StarWriter, an application written in 1985 by Marco Börries
.
So next year, in 2015, will be our 30th anniversary.
Any ideas what we might do?
For example, does anyone still have a Zilog Z80 (or an emulator) that
can run the original StarWriter?
It looks like some emulators here:

It might be interesting to show the history of Writer, from release to
release, via a set of screen shots (or a movie) showing the evolution
of the UI.
