The Naming of Standards
,----[ Quote ]
| Some wanted it to be called
| âOfficeDocumentâ, emphasizing its primary
| scope of use. Others wanted to call it
| âOpenDocumentâ, making its openness (a new
| thing in the office-document world at that
| time) more central, and acknowledging that
| its applicability was for more than just
| office editors.

Getting to know Ars Apertaâs business
,----[ Quote ]
| I usually donât write about this topic
| often, but I thought it would be interesting
| -and perhaps enlightening- to explain a bit
| more what my company, Ars Aperta provides as
| a business. I think itâs the right time
| today, as we have almost finished our
| upgrade to Ikaaroâs new release. Ikaaro is
| developed by a french company called Itaapy,
| and you should watch these guys: Ikaaro is
| now able to produce content from and to ODF
| while using ODF document templates at the
| same time. You can try their demo online and
| see for yourself. But I digress, back to Ars
| Aperta.
|
| We took the opportunity of this upgrade to
| clarify and revise the content on our
| website, and I think that what we offer as a
| team of consultants is now much clearer.
| Basically, we have three lines of business.
| The first, and the most generic one, is our
| consulting services. Ars Aperta provides
| client assistance and strategic consulting
| services (sometimes dubbed as âmanagement
| consultingâ) in the fields of information
| technologies, with a focus on Free & Open
| Source Software and Open Standards. Our
| existing customers have also worked with us
| on non specific Free and Open Source
| Software consulting project, so I guess one
| could say we tend to have a broader scope
| than our original focus.

8 Advanced OpenOffice.org Add-ons
,----[ Quote ]
| OpenOffice.org (OOo for short) is a great
| office suite for Linux and pretty much any
| other operating system, but can always use
| improvement. This is especially true for
| templates and clip art. Fortunately, the open
| source community provides many add-ons or
| extensions. Here's a look at eight different
| ones:
|
| English Templates by OxygenOffice
|
| One of the biggest features you might miss
| from Microsoft Office is their templates. This
| might especially be the case now that they
| have integrated the online user-submitted
| templates, giving you even more choices. In
| OOo, all you get is two presentation
| templates, an assortment of presentation
| templates, and a few wizards to help make
| letters, faxes, and agendas--the bare minimum.
| Then on a different menu (File > New), you'll
| find shortcuts to work with labels and
| business cards.
