Final round of FOSDEM speaker interviews
[Posted February 2, 2011 by jake]
The last round of FOSDEM speaker
interviews are now available. They include: Manik Surtani (Infinispan),
David Chisnall (Objective-C), Nicolas Spiegelberg (Facebook Messages),
Chris Hofmann (Mozilla Firefox), Jos van den Oever (WebODF), Michael Meeks
(LibreOffice), Chris Lattner (LLVM), and Andrew Gerrand (Go). From Van den
Oever's interview: "The
talk will explain what the WebODF project is about and how it can be used
to add ODF support to your website or desktop application. There are
several good Free Software solutions for working with ODF on the desktop
and on mobile devices, notably LibreOffice and Calligra. These are written
in C++, are compiled natively, and need to be installed on each machine on
which they are used. Cloud solutions can be run in the browser, but there
was no Free Software ODF software for the browser." FOSDEM will be
held February 5-6 in Brussels, Belgium.
