Details of the Talk

One of the LibreOffice 3.6 flagship features is the import of document in CorelDraw file-format. This talk will give in a humorous way the methodology we used to become the first FOSS library supporting ALL CorelDraw file-format versions. The concept of incremental reverse engineering is based on our observation about how changes are normally done to closed proprietary file-formats by the developers of the software producing them.
