Hi Malte,

I was planning to attend the 6th OOoCon at Beijing but had to cancel my trip (& paid $150 penalty for canceling my flight) at the last moment due to illness.

I am wondering whether you could ask participants from Sun why so little attention was paid to the Solaris version of OpenOffice.org, not much more than the obligatory service?

For example, did anyone know why we are having problems installing OOo 3.0 in OpenSolaris (though there is a workaround)?

But the most serious issue is the font display problem in the Solaris version of OpenOffice. Before this problem is solved, we should, for the sake of saving Sun's reputation, refrain from promoting OpenSolaris in China. An operating system whose version of wordprocessor cannot display the names of China's current and future leaders has no place in China. This is a truism which doesn't need to be elaborated.

If you are interested in knowing more about this Chinese font display issue, please talk to either Harry Fu or Yong Sun of Sun's Beijing team who are expected to attend the OOoCon. However, since everyone (especially those from Sun) seems to avoid this problem like a plague, I won't feel bad if you ignore this comment. :-)
