Open source bugs fixed quicker than commercial software

| Open-source code is more prone to severe 
| flaws than commercial software, but bugs 
| get fixed more quickly, according to 
| revealing new research from application 
| security firm Veracode.

If it looks, acts and smells brown then it must be.

| Now I have read that this company is 
| trying to change its Open Source image 
| (sigh) again. They are doing it by copying 
| the image from another large company. This 
| fruity company directly gained its 
| current, dare I say it, popular software 
| offering from Open Source software. I 
| intend to take so much salt with this 
| latest venture that I can feel my arteries 
| harden just thinking about it.

Project Renaissance Impress Improvements - Found the required slide layout yet? 

,----[ Quote ]
| As indicated in the previous posts, we 
| have started to redesign a few really 
| basic interactions in OpenOffice.org 
| Impress in order to reduce the overall 
| complexity of the UI. Currently, we focus 
| on navigation through slides in various 
| contexts, the visual appearance of 
| different slide selection states and the 
| handling of slide layouts. Today, I want 
| to share some thoughts about a different 
| way how to assign slide layouts.

Extenders: now 400% more pretty.

,----[ Quote ]
| While not much features have been added since, I have applied quite some
| polish. Not only in the form of bugfixes, but also in the form of a fresh new
| look, designed by Pinheiro. Implementing the c++ part of this look wasnât at
| all trivial, but since about a week it is available in trunk/. A little
| screenshot for those of you who donât run trunk as their primary desktop.
