OpenOffice.org Training at Google New York

,----[ Quote ]
| On June 5, 2008, a new model of technology training was tried out. It was 
| inspired by the "unconference" and "camp" models of technology conferences, 
| and we called it an "untraining." It was designed to be created by the 
| participants, where they would work together to learn what they needed to 
| know.

Open source Java projects: SwingLabs PDF Renderer

,----[ Quote ]
| A few years back, Sun Labs researchers developed the all-Java PDF Renderer 
| project because they needed a PDF viewer for content created by OpenOffice. 
| When this project was no longer needed, Sun Labs offered PDF Renderer to Josh 
| Marinacci and Richard Bair (of SwingLabs) who set out to get the project open 
| sourced. Tom Oke signed on to head up future work on the project, and Josh 
| announced the release of the open source PDF Renderer project in December 
| 2007.

Why Google should embrace OpenOffice

,----[ Quote ]
| As I've written in my review of OpenOffice, it does pretty much everything
| that Microsoft Office does — but at zero cost. True, there are a few high-end
| bells and whistles that it lacks, but most people don't use them.
