The lpOD project visits the Sun OpenOffice.org team

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.

Proposed Solution

The lpOD project contributes to the expansion of the OpenDocument Format ecosystem through its implementation of the ISO standard ISO/IEC 26300.

  • Defining a Free Software API for the ISO standard ISO/IEC 26300 (ODF)
  • Developing and validating an implementation for higher level use cases

The main characteristics of the lpOD project's are:

  • Cooperation with the OASIS Consortium's ODF Technical Committees and the ODF Toolkit's Union.
  • Multilingual approach (Python, Perl, Ruby) with
    • upstream design of the common base
    • Free Software development: GPL v3, Apache V2.0
  • Validation of advanced users' needs by research laboratories and corporate users
  • Software development project management based on short iterations, Xtreme programming and Free Software practices.

The general approach to this project relies on four main principles:

  • Strict implementation of the ISO/IEC 26300 standard
  • Business needs validation for high level features
  • Development of Free Software libraries
  • Libraries are designed for REST services
