gbuild: State of the LibreOffice Build System |
Konferenzraum 2 | 14:30 - 15:30 | The LibreOffice project is currently working on migrating its build system from the ancient and obscure build.pl/dmake based system that was inherited from OpenOffice.org, to a new custom build system based on the de facto standard GNU make utility. We aim to give an update on the status of the migration, present some of the new capabilities of the new build system, some lessons learned during the migration and discuss some open problems and limitations. |
Anarchy in the API |
Konferenzraum 2 | 15:30 - 16:30 | With LibreOffice 4 bound to finally sport an incompatible UNO API, there is naturally a desire to keep the past on board nevertheless, so that, e.g., old LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org extensions could continue to work unmodified. |

Reshaping Calc for better performance |
Konferenzraum 2 | 18:00 - 19:00 | In this talk, I will talk about our plan to re-shape the Calc core to boost performance, improve quality and maintenability in many areas of the application. I will talk in detail about the overall plan, what we have done so far, and what we will still need to do. |
