Subject: [ug-nycosug] August NYC OpenSolaris User Group meeting - OpenOffice.org talk<br>To: "<a href="mailto:ug-nycosug@opensolaris.org" target="_blank">ug-nycosug@opensolaris.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:ug-nycosug@opensolaris.org" target="_blank">ug-nycosug@opensolaris.org</a>><br>

Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
{Please feel free to forward this invite to other interested
OS/platform groups - as this event will cover a topic/project that has
a much wider scope then the OS itself}<br>
<br>
<b>As previously announced, the New York {Open}Solaris Community User
Group will be holding its August meeting on our regular last Thursday
of the month on 8/27/2009</b>
<p>At this meeting, we will be joined by Elizabeth Matthis, a linguist
and
a long-time contributor to the OpenOffice.org team. Elizabeth (Liz)
has been with the original product team that had been acquired by
Sun (i.e. the product that became StarOffice and had later been
opensourced under the OpenOffice project umbrella). She will give us an
update on
what's happening in the OpenOffice community space, what she's been
working on in terms of improving the user experience and what Project
Renaissance is all about. She has been a member of the
StarOffice/OpenOffice.org engineering team in Germany for the past 10+
years
and continues to be an active contributor to the OpenOffice.org
productivity suite. She is here on vacation and has flown in from
Germany where she
resides; Liz has agreed to come talk to the NY audience while she's
here!<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>OpenOffice is a free open source productivity suite that is
compatible with Microsoft Office but runs on many more platforms,
including MacOS, various Linux distributions, Solaris, etc.
More details about OpenOffice can be seen at OpenOffice.org<br>
</p>
<p>We will also be giving out OpenSolaris 2009.06 media, swag and
raffle
off 2 "Pro OpenSolaris" books that have been signed by their authors.
</p>
<p>[Please RSVP by 8/26, so we have an approximate count and your name
is registered with the building's security in the lobby]
</p>
<p>We'll get started with refreshments @ 6:00pm.
</p>
