Ant: Community digest, Vol 1 #172 - 3 msgs

Hi 
I sent the stuff below in response to Yael (about Open
Source firms) but later I thought it may also be of
interest for the rest of the group.

Cheers,
Reha

PS:

Hi,

Stuttgart Region in south Germany is home to more than
Open Source companies.
Here you may find a list of firms with their
respective activites (unfortunely only in German):
http://opensource.region-stuttgart.de/index.php?main=1

Plus, the regional economic development company has a
broad campaign to support Open Source based
businesses.The campaign website is:
http://opensource.region-stuttgart.de/index.php

They opened up a Open SOurce Solutions center in the
region:
http://www.open-source-loesungspark.de/

And finally they have a Linux Desktop online demo
centre (now in English):

do you know whether all these companies have signed to support the
Economic Majority ?

http://www.economic-majority.com/index.fr.php

(I copy the list in case other members of the list can help.
 It is a petition for European Companies against software patenting 
  Apology to non concerned members)

I found;
Drools (Business Objects)
http://java-source.net/open-source/rule-engines/drools
An Introduction to The Drools Projects
http://www.theserverside.com/articles/article.tss?l=Drools

DataVision (Crystal Report)
http://java-source.net/open-source/charting-and-reporting/datavision

I suppose they were written in Java.  If I'm wrong
pleae correct me.

You're probably better off taking this up with the developers of
projects in question -- or by looking at their websites -- rather than
this list which, in all likelihood, has no specific knowledge of these
projects.

OpenOffice.org Conference 2005

All,

The third international OpenOffice.org Conference, OOoCon 2005, will be
held in Koper-Capodistria, Slovenia, this year, from 28-30 September,
and you are invited! Promoted this year as a joint effort by the
Slovenian and Italian OpenOffice.org language projects, the conference
provides the opportunity for the community to meet the developers,
contributors, marketers, and others who are making OpenOffice.org one of
the most important open-source projects and products today.

If you have been thinking about coding for OpenOffice.org and want tips,
now is your chance; curious about OpenOffice.org's XML potential? Want
to write extensions? Plug ins? Then come to the conference!

Indeed if you are not technically minded but want to join a great
community come along and find out why so many people are switching to
OpenOffice.org.

We have posted the call for papers (CFP) and are soliciting
presentations from the general OpenOffice.org community (and then some)
for papers concerning the development of OpenOffice.org to its
marketing; from the global politics of free software to the
technicalities of localizing OpenOffice.org.

To see all the tracks open and to obtain the template for submissions,
as well as to request travel assistance, visit:

* <http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2005/cfp.html>

250-word abstracts in English must be submitted to
