OOo Workshop in Morioka, capital of Iwate

日本語, Japanese Blog

I am a member of "Morionette," Social Network System of Morioka area.

Morioka is the capital city of Iwate prefecture, which has Iwate University.

OOo workshop was held at Iwate University Super-Computing and Information Sciences Center (ISIC).

The workshop was hosted by ISIC and SPERng Society which supports "Morionette."



I lectured about "OpenOffice.org is hot!" such as the download thermometer and the latest Bouncer statistics, OOoCon 2008 Beijing and Extensions such as PDF Import, Odt2dtbook and Presentation Minimizer.

What I talked to participants mainly was "We need your feedbacks. Please access the community forum and post your OOo experience like "I've downloaded OOo3 and installed it on my Windows Vista PC."

After the workshop we had a party! Iwate university professor and student, local system integrator, professor at Institute of National College of Technology, Cable TV manager, Morioka city worker, OOo evangelist from Tokyo joined the party and talked about OOo utilization and deployment, Beijing, Business and many things.

We had a big citrus fruit (from Noburin san, Yatsushiro, Kumamoto) at the party. This fruit is called "First Queen."

Part II has collected Thirty Six

You will have a chace to "Talk" with people on Part I and Part II at l10n/QA meeting on IRC "Quality assurance of l10n builds," Tuesday, December 16th at 5:00 pm UTC, Channel: IRC network FreeNode, #ooonlc.
