We're arranging another developer meeting in the #openlp.org IRC channel to discuss openlp.org version 2.x. We've tentatively arranged it for Monday 19th May at 20:00 GMT. Since I know that time zones have changed recently in some countries, if an alternate time would suit you, please let us know on the openlp-devel mailing list or in a private message to me on the site.

It's Derek's birthday today folks, so why don't you drop him an e-mail and congratulate him?

His e-mail address is derekscotney[at]openlp.org

Hi folks,

When we released openlp.org 1.0, we hinted at a bugfix release soon after, to clear up any bugs that were still in that release, and true to our word, we've been working on openlp.org 1.0.1. We got our testing team to mercilessly attempt to break openlp.org in a bid to find as many bugs as possible. And we got them...

After a few rounds of test -> fix -> test -> fix, I think we're almost done, and I'm hoping to release openlp.org 1.0.1 in about 2 weeks time.

Hi All. 

Due to the fact that neither Raoul or myself have Windows ME installed, we are looking to all you eager volunteers who do have Windows ME to give us a hand.  We have a reported bug where openlp.org V1.0 doesn't install the packaged themes properly on Windows ME, and then on exiting throws some nasty errors.

This morning I was not on sound/data projector duty at church, so my wife and I decided to take it easy and arrive just before the service (instead of an hour or half an hour beforehand, as usual). However, unbeknownst to me, but beknownst to my pastor, the people on duty didn't rock up. So on our way to church, my wife gets a phone call from said pastor.

"There's no sound coming out of the speakers... how do we fix  that?"

Hi folks,

We've decided to hold a developers meeting on Monday at 20:00 GMT in the openlp.org IRC channel. If you are interested in helping out with the development of openlp.org version 2.x, then please feel free to come and see what we're chatting about.

If you're not a programmer, then please don't worry about this. We're just going to be chatting about our plans for how to develop openlp.org 2.0.

Our IRC channel can be found on the Freenode network, and the channel itself is #openlp.org 

So, we've been developing openlp.org for a few years now, but to be honest, I've never looked at the commercial offerings. I know about them, and I know that most people seem to hear of them first, but I've never actually installed them and tried them out.

So last night I installed 4 applications:

• EasyWorship
• SongShow Plus
• SongPro
• Sunday Plus

I basically just installed everything, and then opened each program and tried to figure out how to use it without looking in a manual.

Tomorrow, the 17th of February is a very special day. It's openlp.org's 4th birthday!

We've come a long way in four years, and even managed to get a major release. We're excited for the future of openlp.org, as you can see by our roadmap.

Join us in celebrating openlp.org's birthday by making sure people at Church know what openlp.org is. 

YES! The moment has FINALLY arrived!

We are very proud to present openlp.org version 1.0. We've waited a long time for this, and I'm not going to lie to you, we're very excited about this release. Over the last few years openlp.org has transformed from a small and seemingly insignificant open source application, to the most featureful open source lyrics projection solution (or so I've been told).

For those of you who are eager to get hold of it, you can download it from our download page.

Well, it's 2 days before the release of openlp.org 1.0, and I am proud to say that we have almost all the issues resolved. It was a bit touch-and-go earlier, with a few of the bugs being potential show-stoppers, and with solutions seeming to be unavailable, but fortunately we have managed to either fix them or work around them.
