Unfortunately, I was able to catch only the last 1.5 days of the conference, but from what I saw the sessions were informative, the hallway conversations illuminating, and the hospitality superb.  I participated in a roundtable panel on &#8220;OpenDocument, Open Revolution&#8221; and gave a presentation later that day with the exciting title, &#8220;A Technical Comparison &#8212;  ISO\/IEC 26300 vs. Microsoft Office Open XML (Ecma International TC45 OOXML WD 1.3)&#8221;.  The streaming media for these and other sessions are <a href=\"http:\/\/ooocon-arnes.kiberpipa.org\/articles\/media.html\">provided<\/a> online by Kiberpipa.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to especially draw attention to John McCreesh&#8217;s &#8220;why.openoffice.org&#8221; talk.  Usually my eyes glaze over at &#8220;marketing&#8221; talks.  But even with jet lag and loss of a night&#8217;s sleep I found this to be an engaging and compelling statement of the OpenOffice.org value proposition.<\/p>\n<p>A noteworthy item announced at the conference was the opening of an OpenDocument-focused web site at XML.org (<a href=\"http:\/\/opendocument.xml.org\/\">http:\/\/opendocument.xml.org\/<\/a>).  This is the &#8220;official community gathering place and information resource &#8221; for the OASIS ODF TC and ODF Adoption TC, and is a great place to go with questions about ODF and browse the content there.   I encourage you to make it a regulary visit in your browsing habit, or sign up for one of the feeds.<\/p>\n<p>Next stop:  <a href=\"http:\/\/conference2006.kde.org\/codingmarathon\/opendocumentday.php\">OpenDocument Day<\/a> at the KDE Akademy in Dublin next Tuesday.  I&#8217;m going to give a lighting talk on &#8220;A Standard ODF Object Model&#8221;.  I also plan to buttonhole everyone I see and try to convince them of the need for a unified effort to make an OpenDocument Developer Kit (ODDK).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m back from the OpenOffice.org conference in Lyon.
