collaboration
Representatives from multiple ODF implementations meet informally to discuss interoperability and test their applications in Barcelona in 2007 and in Beijing in 2008. Experience with these informal “interoperability workshops” lead to a more formal initiative, the ODF Plugfest, which first met in The Hague, June 15-16, 2009. The 2nd ODF Plugfest was held in Orvieto, Italy on November 2-3.

April 15-16-17: Granada, Spain. The lpOD team will be present.
Since its beginning the lpOD project has provided regular snapshots of important milestones. Today we are happy to open the access to our Git repository! It is now possible for anyone to check out our developments live.
The repository is available here.
The new documentation for the lpOD project is available online. This online documentation is available starting with our 0.8 release and covers pretty much all that is needed to understand and hack lpOD. This documentation covers only the Python implementation, however.
You can access the documentation here.
lpOD has been officially introduced at the OpenOffice.org world conference to the members of the ODF ecosystem and to the Free Software office suite community.
Lots of interesting talks have taken place and the progressive integration of the project inside the ODF Toolkit Union has also been discussed.
Itaapy has joined the ODF Toolkit Union. This announcement was made at the OOoCON 2009 at Orvieto and is part of the general movement of progressive integration of the lpOD project inside the ODF Toolkit Union. Bringing the lpOD platform inside the ODF Tookit will help its better integration inside the ODF ecosystem and maximize the reuse of its components by the ODF Toolkit.
We do not yet accept external code contributions. However we are open to any interesting idea! You can get the code here.
The first public release of lpOD will be available during the week of the 26th of October. lpOD is released under the GPL v3 and the Apache v2.0 licenses. Code repository and mailing lists will be progressively rolled out during the year.
Feel free to contact our team if you have any question.
Le projet Lpod présenté lors des Rencontres COLLIBRI / Cap Digital / Silicon Sentier du 20 octobre 2009 à La Cantine
The lpOD project has recently visited the Sun OpenOffice.org team. This team is also one of the main original authors of the ODF standard. This was a fruitful day allowing for real information sharing and future collaboration.
Ars Aperta has joined the ODF Toolkit Union. This project acts as one of the main code repository in the ODF ecosystem. The lpOD project will progressively extend its cooperation to the ODF Toolkit Union.
The lpOD project has been elected by the ANR for 2008 under "Contents and Interactions" and has officially started on the 1st of December.
Le pôle de compétitivité Cap Digital a officiellement accordé sa labélisation au projet lpOD le 24 avril 2008 dans la catégorie "intelligence et technologies collaboratives".
Where ?
The lpOD project is a member of the competitivity cluster Cap Digital and is thus based at the heart of the Region Île de France, the French capital region. The companies and research labs that have created the lpOD project are for the most part located in this region.
The project shall interact and work together with organisations developing the existing major implementations of ODF on the market, such as the engineering team behind OpenOffice.org and ODF. based in Hamburg, Germany.
Strongly rooted in the Paris Capital Region, the lpOD project will work on a more global level with companies, research laboraties and bodies such as the OASIS consortium in Massachusetts, U.S.A.
The project also surveys other initiatives developing tools able to generate and manipulate ODF documents.
ANR -- A project-based funding Agency to advance french research"
The project lpOD "Langages & plateformes Open Documents" was elected by the ANR for 2008 under "Contents and Interactions". The financing of projects labelled "Contents and Interactions" focuses on supporting and promoting digital content string techniques: creation, capture, production, publication, access, exchange, storing, and also financial, usage, security and legal aspects.
OASIS
Open Document Format is developed and supported by the Oasis consortium, and implemented by lpOD .
