Competent all-rounder required for support of web-based CRM system and multiple company websites for Coffs Harbour based company. As some work may be required on an in-house server a local is preferred but not absolutely necessary.

It's just been brought to my attention that the Coffs Coast Community College is offering courses this semester in OpenOffice.org and the GIMP, led by one David Bryant, a familiar face to ClubLinux regulars. Well done David! I would advise anybody interested to enrol ASAP.

Working as I do in a Microsoft Windows-centric IT department has its challenges. None of them technical. Many years of installing and reinstalling Microsoft operating systems and the multitude of other software, patches, updates, workarounds and fixes has become second nature. So much so that I often have waking nightmares involving Office 2007, docx, Eu-fu!*ing-dora, MS-SQL, MSDE, Visual Studio, Service Pack 3, Genuine Advantage and Outlookpst files. When I say not technical, I mean it, all this stuff is just knowledge. When to click, Next, OK or Cancel.

Help! Help! I have purchased a HPC5280 printer and cannot get the following. A Scan program for scan to computer, a Disc Labeler Program. I asked at the retail outlet and was assured that it would work with Linux, and it does as a printer but that is all.

You Got ME Matthew, I don't how long I spent trying to close that window!!!!!!

Gnome fanatics should read no further. (If they have a point, it escapes me.) The release of KOffice 2.0.0 is expected next year. The developers are aiming for cross-platform use and are challenging the dominance of the (free open source ?) office software with no legal name. KWord, evidently, has already run on Windows.

Yours truly has been (and is continuing to be) instrumental in setting up a site for KOffice users. Help of any kind is welcome.

Others may be unaware of this topical issue mentioned on a few forums and a mailing list I happened to visit. See NO to the Microsoft Office format as an ISO standard.

I signed the petition some weeks ago and in the last few days received an email. I believe I'm not breach of any understanding of confidentiality by quoting from it:

Thanks for signing the NoOOXML petition. 143 Aussies signed the petition so far, pretty good showing, though I think over a thousand people signed in Portugal.

A small group, including my troublesome self, is discussing the formation of "The OpenOffice.org Community' Website" along the lines of The Star Office Users' Portal. The site will serve as a portal but also include a forum and other services. The idea for the project emerged out of a very long thread discussing ways of dealing with some shortcomings of the present, main, English forum for OOo users.

The project will require as much support as it can raise.

After loosing our meeting place with the departure of David Chapman we have not had a meeting of members.

I have been negotiating with the Park Beach Bowng Club and we have been offered a good size, fully air conditioned room with tables, chairs, Phone outlets, TV monitor, White board etc.

The use of these rooms are not restricted to any set time period and may be considered permenant.

I beleive that Matthew is calling a meeting at the Bowling Club so that members can have a look and make a decision. We can have a couple of meets there before we commit.

Personally, I can not see where we would get better for free.
