Elite Kubuntu Developers Successful OpenOffice KDE 4 Integration

At UDS in Barcelona we again bemoaned that nobody had done the work to integrate OpenOffice with KDE 4. So elite Kubuntu developers Roman Shtylman and Yuriy Kozlov put their heads in their laptops. They have only just resurfaced, successful and triumphant with Roman having done most of the widget and dialogue integration work and Yuiry porting the Oxygen icon theme to OpenOffice's obscure icon format.

Meanwhile elite Kubuntu developer Roderick has been hard at work porting USB Creator to KDE in preparation for a potential Kubuntu Netbook edition.

Want to be an elite Kubuntu developer? Take a look at the Kubuntu Karmic Todo list and see if there's anything you could help with. We have a meeting tonight at 23:00UTC in #kubuntu-devel where we'll be discussing Karmic work and the makeup of the Kubuntu Council, do come along and say hi.

This is great work & it looks really nice. I take it that this icon scheme will also be made available for upstream KDE-folk, too?

Yes Jim, they will be made available for everyone as they have been accepted in upstream OOo and are still in the process of being accepted. Good job ninjas!

I thought OOo KDE is dead. The last entry on the project page is from 2006. [1]
So it's a very very nice surprise to see those developments. Can't wait to get the KDE4 file dialogs integrated into my OOo.
You rock!

Is it possible to download those features anywhere?

Is this the result of what's described in this post: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3982 (so that's finished)? I was curious about that.
