- Internship 2010
- Internship 2011
- activities of the project
Budget 2011
It was agreed on the 2011 budget (with a slightly higher amount as 2010 ) and with similar numbers as in 2010.
Internship 2010
Jürgen will write up a summary regarding the internship 2010 (AI Jürgen), this should be published soon. Jürgen stated that the internship was quite successful and many of the results are expected to get integrated into the code.
There was a longer discussion on how sustainable these internships are, quite controversially. Even if interns don't show up after their internship has been finished and we don#t see them all acting as multiplicators it seems useful to run the Internship again.
Activities of the project
There's a lack of visibility of the OpenOffice.org project between releases. We are in the moment too weak on PR and other things. The OpenOffice.org 3.3 release had some good coverage in the press.
Contributions from non Oracle developers have decreased. It was suggested to invest in areas of the OpenOffice.org product where it is easy for 3rd party vendors to provide their own work. We already have a good basis for this with the template and extension repositories.
For the Templates site there is some room for improvement:
- better and more templates
- leveraging the voting system
- better search capabilities, better categorization
- better integration in the template dialog, integrated search etc.
In some areas similar applies for the extension site.
Also the integration of content feeds (blogs, news, other references) within the startup were discussed (like Netbeans, MS Developer Studio, etc. do).
Preparation for the upcoming 3.4 release are ongoing, activities in the QA and l10n projects are recovering again from last years “event”.
Internship 2011
Plan is to prepare internship for 2011 with focus with above topics (template and extension site integration), Stefan will ask for providing mentorship again. Especially the re-design of the template dialog might require some more efforts, more money will be put on this if required.
Action Items
- 2011-04-01-01 : Jürgen to provide summary about internship 2010
- 2011-04-01-02 : all: collect possible requirements for templates and extensions integration
- 2011-04-01-03 : Stefan: ask for mentor-ship support
