Although I took the night-train to travel (it took about 10 hours), I was relaxed thursday morning. We were about 200-250 people from all over the world. It was very nice and interesting to see all the people I only had email contact before in the mailing-lists. I was also happy to see maho@freebsd.org, who does a great job in leading the effort of a localized japanese OpenOffice.org version and helped me quite a bit to commit the freebsd changes to the openoffice repo. Very interesting was the speak from Michael Meeks from Ximian. He modified and adapted OO.org to the look and feel of gnome. It really looks better that way. I'm working to integrate some of the gnome changes which are already present in the tree, into our build, so there will soon be a -WITH_GNOME flag in the Makefile. And of course also the speak of Dan Williams, about the MacOS-X port. They have a lot more problems than we have currently with the BSD port, because the Aqua-Gui is lot different. So for the moment the Mac folks only have a X11 version. Unfortunatly I haven't been able to fix a crash in the sub-project setup2 during the conference, altough I visited the hackers room quite often ;). Regcomp still crashes because a Exception is not catched. I'll look at this next week. And before I forget it, 1.1 looks really promising, there are a bunch of new cool features like "send document as email", or the "macromedia flash" export filter which is really cool for presentations, the "mysql database driver", and the macro recording feature. The 1.1 release of Openoffice.org is scheduled to August 2003, and I promise that we will have a updated port this time. It's also planed after some QA to provide native FreeBSD binarys on the OpenOffice.org download servers.

According to imdb's Movie and TV News: --- Anger Over Dillon Film Hollywood hunk Matt Dillon's directorial debut City Of Ghosts has caused anger amongst Asians - because of its portrayal of Cambodian women. Arizona State University Professor Melinda De Jess says, "We thought it was very racist and problematic. Cambodia is a backdrop here for a story of white masculinity. There are almost no other representations of Cambodian women except as prostitutes in this film." Drugstore Cowboy star Dillon wrote and directed the movie, and also plays a con-man who travels to Cambodia to collect a share of an insurance scam. The professor confronted Dillon at a question-and-answer session following the film, and says, "He completely freaked out. He called me a 'paratrooper of political correctness.' He kept yelling, 'This is the truth about Cambodians!'" Dillon counters, "They saw the film and said they didn't like the way the women were portrayed - the characters who were prostitutes. They offered me some books to read. Women's studies or something. I think they were being a little too politically correct." --- Tsk tsk tsk... :) From owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Mar 28 09:38:43 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1A95637B401 for ; Fri, 28 Mar 2003 09:38:43 -0800 (PST) Received: from apollo.backplane.com (apollo.backplane.com [216.240.41.2]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A5EB643FD7 for ; Fri, 28 Mar 2003 09:38:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dillon@apollo.backplane.com) Received: from apollo.backplane.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by apollo.backplane.com (8.12.8/8.12.6) with ESMTP id h2SHcg31053840; Fri, 28 Mar 2003 09:38:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dillon@apollo.backplane.com) Received: (from dillon@localhost) by apollo.backplane.com (8.12.8/8.12.6/Submit) id h2SHcf8m053839; Fri, 28 Mar 2003 09:38:41 -0800 (PST) Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 09:38:41 -0800 (PST) From: Matthew Dillon Message-Id: <200303281738.h2SHcf8m053839@apollo.backplane.com> To: Mike Silbersack References: <20030328015530.U1419@odysseus.silby.com> X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-7.0 required=5.0 tests=AWL,REFERENCES autolearn=ham version=2.50 X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.50 (1.173-2003-02-20-exp) cc: chat@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Dillon controversial again X-BeenThere: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Non technical items related to the community List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 17:38:46 -0000 Phaw. Who cares about content, only the title of the movie matters and you have to admit, "City Of Ghosts" is a *great* title! Do you see the cats and dogs that were eaten in the restaurant scene complaining? No. The monkeys in the zoo scene? They were behind bars! No. We gave them LOTS of extra bananas and they were happy campers. But you just can't please some humans. It's those ridiculously large brains they have, especially the woman. They always think something is going on when the actual conspiracy is something else entirely. Sheesh! -Matt Matthew Dillon :Matt, it looks like you're the hot topic again.

When is release likely to occur? Some of my clients have been waiting to upgrade. --Brett
