OK, so the devrel team just gained a couple of new recruiters. Kloeri is one of them. About time, I think, since he’s been doing BugDay since forever, and has a handle on the more talented users.
Speaking of being added to teams. A couple of months ago, as I was cleaning out bug-wranglers, I noticed that Jakub.Moc was helping me out on bugzilla with wrangling bugs, finding dupes, etc. You’ll recall (no you won’t, but I will) that that’s how I found vapier/Spanky and also mholzer/svrmarty. Vapier has since become the stuff of legend. Either that, or he transformed into a cyborg that never sleeps, somehow. So, anyway, as of yesterday, Jakub Moc is now an official bug-wrangler for Gentoo. Will he become a package maintainer, etc someday? Let’s wait and see while this unfolds.
Suka, the shots of openoffice look so incredibly enticing. I can hardly wait to try them out for myself (the gnome integration especially, as that is what I have rolled out at work). I hope ooo2 works on amd64 this time, though, without the -bin packages. Also, what’s ximian doing with ooo2?
there is a ximian patchset against openoffice 2.0 pre releases: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/ooo-build/NEWS?view=markup
the OO2 beta release I tried didn’t have that level of integration (or at lease I can’t enable it), maybe suka’s screenshot are from ximian version
If I recall that’s how you found me as well. zilla + irc?
Lisa, actually, I found you on irc, but not on freenode 😛
I have exactly the same hopes about compiling OOo for AMD64 from source. I’ve heard that there was quite a lot of AMD64 porting work done and I hope it will be enough to finaly compile it.
