lpOD is a document automation platform : a high level API in different langages, to produce, consume or manipulate ODF documents, be it text, spreadsheets or presentations. This presentation by Jérôme Dumonteil took place at FOSDEM 2010.

3. Members

4. Technical principles

5. Why the LPOD project ?

9. Perl

10. ruby

12. Implementing and validating a high level business intelligence oriented API

14. ODF abstraction

15. Business oriented high level API

19. Itaapy (Python and architecture expertise)

20. Pierlis (Ruby and smartphones expertise)

22. ParisTech (Security analysis)

23. Univ. du Littoral (massive research datas)

24. UPMC (accessibility analysis)

26. Development and validation of an ODF implementation for higher level use cases.

28. Free Software development methods.

30. Business needs oriented approach and validation for the higher level features

31. Topdown architecture (not based on a low level XML mapping)

32. RESTful architecture and style of development.

34. handles both semantics and presentation separately

37. automated processes,

38. REST web technologies,

39. Thus becoming a common toolbox for BI, data storage for web 2.0, smartphones...

43. “business oriented” Apache v2

48. A: Level 2 mde to be adapted to specific business needs

49. A: It's free software :-)

51. A: Collaboration started with ODF Tk.

52. A: Sharing a common high level API for other project would be a success for everyone

54. A: LpOD implements a library, not a end user software

55. A: LpOD is not “document” oriented, but “data” oriented. LpOD is not bounded to the desktop paradigm. LpOD provides an abstraction layer for ODF use.

56. Unit testing suite

57. “Show me the code”
