OOoCon went by really fast. The Kiberpipa team is happy to announce that we recorded all the lectures, made interviews with OpenOffice.org contributors and the organizers of the conference. Now we are pakcing our equipment and leaving University of Barcelona behind. We'll stay in Barcelona until Sunday and then hit the road back home to Ljubljana, Slovenia.
We still have a lot of work to do, so for us, the conference is not yet finished. We really enjoyed the conference, although we really had a lot of work to do. Today there was some more time to chat and we also took this nice group photo. We are already looking forward to the next OOoCon.
We will be back soon with more video material so stay tuned!
Our team was just discussing our workflow and its technical aspects and we realized that some people do not know what kind of tools we use and what ideas we support.
Kiberpipa is an NGO multimedia cyber center supporting and promoting opensource and free flow of information and knowledge. Adhering to this idea, we work and strive to work with opensource tools only. For OOoCon 2007, we use Ubuntu Linux distribution on our machines, for video editing we use a free opensource video-editing software called Cinelerra (and we also work on packages for Ubuntu). As you can see, we also support, use and promote Creative Commons licensing.
We would kindly like to thank the opensource software developers, especially OpenOffice.org developers for great work and all their contributions to the project! Big thanks for help and support also goes to organizers of the OOoCon 2007, who have been working hard to prepare and organize everything for our work. Of course we would also like to thank the conference participants and Media Coverage website visitors, who have been offering us feedback on our work and giving us support.
You can now find some more videos in the media archive: OOoCon 2007 Welcome Speech, given by C. H. Schulz, L. Suarez, J. Bosch, I. Labastida and J. Corrius; and Sophie Gautier's "What's new in OpenOffice.org 2.3".
We would like to thank you all for your patience and support. More videos will be available as soon as possible. The complete amount of conference lectures and interviews will be be online approximately one week after the conference ends.
In our Media archive you can now find videos of two lectures from Wednesday - Dr. Barbara Held's "Towards openness and accessibility: European public administrations define their approach on document formats" and Eric Bachard's "Walking on water - hot news from the Mac OS X Aqua port". You are kindly invited to watch!
As you can see, we have not been able to establish a live stream from the lectures - unfortunately, we have not been able to access the local internet connection because of technical problems and we are afraid that live streaming will have to be cancelled for now. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Nevertheless, the lectures are being filmed and will be online as soon as possible.
You will be able to follow live coverage of the OpenOffice.org conference 2007 on this link.
For the third year running, Kiberpipa media team is working on media coverage of the OpenOffice.org Conference, which is taking place in Barcelona this year. In the following days, you will find videos of keynotes, lectures, interviews and as much of the conference happenings that we will be able to cover.
The University of Barcelona, where the conference is located, is kindly hosting us in Aula Ramon y Cajal. All the conference participants and visitors are welcome to visit us at our "base" on the first floor, where you can freely use wireless internet, post a blog, meet our team or just chat about the conference.
If you are not able to attend the conference, you can follow the lectures on live video stream, and videos from the lectures will be uploaded as soon as possible for your viewing and reviewing pleasure.
We are also open for feedback about the conference and the media
coverage and would like to collect it all at one place - you are invited to include your
blog in this year's Planet - blog aggregator on Media Coverage website. Just
send us email with link to your blog to
And remember: we're free, we're open, share us!
