Final round of FOSDEM speaker interviews

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.
