[22:00] <ericb2> Can we start ?
[22:00] <shaunmcdonald> ericb2: yes
[22:00] <ericb2> 1. Welcome new devs and devs from Sun joining Mac OS X port
[22:00] <ericb2> :)
[22:00] <shaunmcdonald> the agenda is at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/MacOSXPortMeetings
[22:01] <ericb2> shaunmcdonald: thanks
[22:01] * cloph_away is now known as cloph
[22:01] <ericb2> as usual , the first point is dedicated to welcome the new devs
[22:01] <ericb2> today is not usual, becasue we have to welcome Sun devs
[22:02] <paveljanik> we want to :-)
[22:02] <PhilippL> Oh, I'm here :-)
[22:02] paveljanik PhilippL plipli
[22:02] <PhilippL> Hello everybody.
[22:03] <paveljanik> Looks like _Nesshof_ finally trashed Windows as well? ;-)
[22:03] <ericb2> PhilippL: can you please shortly present you ?
[22:03] paveljanik PhilippL plipli
[22:03] * cloph wonders whether anybody commented to my nas question/rant since I have been disconnected...
[22:03] <_Nesshof_> paveljanik: not really, I'm using all the platforms where OOo runs
[22:04] * PhilippL works for Sun/StarOffics/StarDivision for nearly ten years. basically always on the platform GUI stuff, and here mostly for the Unix platforms.
[22:04] * _Nesshof_ admits that he runs now Vista
[22:05] * Cremlae (n=Cremlae@dialup-85-141.colorado.edu) has joined #OOo_macport
[22:05] <PhilippL> Apart from vcl I work on printing clipboard, PDF export, scanning and have left fingerprints at a dozen other places.
[22:05] <plipli> hi Cremlae
[22:05] <paveljanik> PhilippL: glad to have you on board!
[22:05] <Cremlae> plipli: Hi!
[22:06] <PhilippL> I have basically no mac experience, but I think I can help with integration into general vcl.
[22:06] <plipli> PhilippL: great to have a vcl expert with us
[22:06] <PhilippL> HDU on the other hand is THE font expert inside OOo I would say.
[22:06] <ericb2> PhilippL: sure you will : your vcl knowledge is IMHO impressive
[22:06] <plipli> we need vcl knowledge, we ll bring mac osx experience
[22:07] <PhilippL> The aqua ATSUI code is already contributed (at least partly ?) by him and he will certainly continue to work on that.
[22:07] <plipli> hdu has helped eric and me for atsui
