Presented a talk on “Open Source Productivity Suites” at the APIIT Open Source Group seminar today – it was mainly an OOo talk, with touches of KOffice and more GNOME Office. Featured some useful debugging screenshot(s), to which I didn’t get answers that I would’ve liked to hear!<\/p>\n
OK, I’m Fedora biased in general, but Novell and SuSe are in the news, like crazy nowadays! With Novell buying SuSe (with a good KDE backing) and also Ximian (with a good GNOME backing), it seems that the natural thing to do is to combine the best of both worlds<\/a> (from my understanding, this is like the BlueCurve theme of sorts?). Stand-alone Netware<\/a> is being dropped in favour of the Open Enterprise Server offerings. IBM and Novell finalise a deal<\/a> so that IBM servers will run SuSe out of the box; IBM used to be a thorough Red Hat shop.<\/p>\n Monash Malaysia<\/a> is also apparently getting labs installed with SuSe – these were ex-Red Hat based machines. With all this, I can only but watch Planet SuSe<\/a> more regularly, and of course look into opportunities in this field of knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Presented a talk on “Open Source Productivity Suites” at the APIIT Open Source Group seminar today – it was mainly an OOo talk, with touches of KOffice and more GNOME Office.
