OOoFf! commentary from marketing perspective

  • Blog; By Matthew Revell (Posted by VISITOR on Nov 27, 2004 5:30 AM CST)
  • Story Type: Editorial
Matthew Revell critiques Linspire's new OOoFf! package, from a marketing perspective. "OOoFf! seems like the kind of poorly thought out product that gives people, like Fizz, the wrong idea about branding. I think OOoFf! stems from the good intention of bringing the idea of open source software to more people. It just appears not to have been done with the involvement of the projects behind the software in OOoFf! and the communications and branding don't seem to have been handled very well."

OOo Off the Wall: My Objects All Sublime

  • Linux Journal (Posted by dave on Nov 26, 2004 2:46 AM CST)
  • Story Type: News Story
All of the contents in an OpenOffice.org Writer document is one of three things: text characters, fields or objects. Objects is a large category that includes formulas, drawing objects and so-called OLE Objects, but it is represented most often by graphics. All objects are added to Writer using a frame, and most of the time, it is the frame that you are editing. The object itself sits sublimely above your changes, its appearance in the document altering but not the object itself.

My workstation OS: Debian

What do you want from a desktop operating system? Of course programs for everyday use (a Web browser, office tools, games, etc.), but those programs are not the main criteria, especially with GNU/Linux, since you can use almost any Linux application easily on your distribution of choice. The real criteria are stability, package management, hardware compatibility, and the people behind the software, the community. For its superiority in those areas, I made Debian my workstation OS.
