- People at Changi Airport (singapore) definitely think I’m weird. Two laptops setup, getting a fedora/ppc install going. Had to scrounge around for a network cable, but I’m sorted now, yay. Then anaconda exits with TypeError: postAction() takes exactly 3 arguments (4 given), and now I’m fedora/ppc-less. Alt/Option key booting during the OF stage to get back into OS X seemed like a viable option. Update: anaconda has been rebuilt.
- Arrived in Boston, after a grueling 30 hour journey. Caught Shall We Dance, which was rather enjoyable. Looking for food, and ended up with the famous Krispy Kreme 6-pack for dinner.
- Consequently missed the SpreadOpenOffice conference call. Heads up is that this is happening, and while we might not host it on our very own servers (thanks Justin!), it might be at the OSL, where SpreadFirefox currently is (or is moving to). Of course at ooo-marketing, there are issues as to if this campaign should go ahead or not; what do the rest of you think?
- Planet ASIASOURCE is now running (or has been for a while). Read on about how NGOs get around to using technology, and possibly interesting migration blog bits.
- Wrote an abstract for the OpenOffice.org mini-conf at linux.conf.au 2005, about OpenOffice.org on the PowerPC Platform. Covering X11, NeoOffice/J, as well as Linux options (upstream or ooo-build). EPM on OS X, why it took so long to get OS X/OOo to a build-able stage and so on.
- Like Pavel, I too am switching to using the milestone OOo releases. I started around the m74 days, but now I’m going to attempt to make a complete switch. Some words of caution:
- Switching to the new file format? I might still be keeping backups handy.
- rpm -Uvh will still keep the old OpenOffice.org “core” package around. So /opt will have the old core files lying around. Remove that, and reinstall redhat-menus seems to be a nice workaround.
- Running on FC-3, till m78 that is, don’t forget to go to /opt/openoffice.org1.9.77/program and rm libxml2.so*. Fixed in m78, but I think m77 is what’s available for download now.
