--pAgB8sljkXgY+wU7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear office@ mailing list, my name is Arrigo Marchiori. I am a contributor to the Apache OpenOffice project and I am writing here in the hope to reach the maintainers of the FreeBSD port. In the upcoming FOSDEM [1], that will take place online, Apache OpenOffice will have its own "Developer room" and will host some presentations. You will be more than welcome to attend, but specifically I would like to invite you to take part to my presentation, that will be on Saturday 5 February between 3 PM and 3.45 PM Central European Time [2]. The topic of my presentation is how to build Apache OpenOffice today, possibly leveraging virtual machines and containers, and what are the pros and cons of such technologies when applied to this task. I can anticipate that in the presentation I will indicate the FreeBSD port as the easiest way to build Apache OpenOffice from source today, and will try to point out the huge work you have been doing in order to keep it building on an evolving system such as FreeBSD, with evolving dependencies (i.e. the other ports). In other words, you know better than me how to build OpenOffice today ;-) and I really appreciate your work. For this reason, I would really appreciate your presence and participation at my presentation, not as much for hearing what I have to say, but rather at the following Q&A time, in order to _hear from you_ what are _your ideas_ today on this topic, and what technologies, tools etc. you think may be useful for the Apache OpenOffice developers and possibly for you, as maintainers, as well. Please note that I am speaking in my own name, same as I will at FOSDEM. Thank you very much for reading up to here! I hope to see you on-line on Saturday!
