[Clipart] Clip Art & OpenOffice

[Bryce Harrington]

I've been showing folks here at OSDL some of the great stuff getting
accumulated into the clip art library:

* Our new Director of Engineering is putting together a presentation in
  OpenOffice and wants to include several slides with computers (I think
  to show what sorts of hardware we want to provide to the community),
  but ran into some issues:

  - What's the best way to import SVG clip art into OpenOffice, given
    that it doesn't support SVG?

  - He would like to see more clip art for high end computer systems -
    disk arrays, router boxes, wall racks, etc.  

  - Since he's making diagrams he's looking for 2D front views of
    equipment as opposed to the 3D iso images in our collection.

  + He thought it was pretty cool that we were doing this via
    the Freedesktop folks.  :-)

* The tech marketing guy loved the vectorialized Tux, as he's been
  hassling with having to resize the bitmapped Tux for all sorts of
  things.

* Again it's noticed that previews would be very well received, although
  I've found that Konqueror is able to view SVG files natively without
  crashing too often.  :-)
