FOSDEM 2019: UNO Project as an Idea for Main track or fast talk?
(was: FOSDEM 2019: no Open Document Editors devroom?)
Hello all
How about the Idea we make a main track to introduce the Idea from
Damjan, to create an own UNO Project.
We would need to explain
# What it does
# Examples of how can it be used.
# what Features and benefits it has.
We could get a first feedback of interest from the audience.
I think this is a good talk for a main track in general.
All the best
Peter

Not directly. An UNO wrapper could be written to access the ODF toolkit
from other UNO languages (C++, Python, (old) Javascript, StarBasic, OLE
automation). Those languages would have to run in an UNO environment
though. Other approaches to interoperability do exist; UNO's advantage is
good performance when running in-process, and the possibility of network
transparency.
Our UNO implementation does need some maintenance, for example we have no
Win64 UNO bridge (main/bridges), and it's not easy to develop: AMD64
assembly language, and binary internals of Windows's calling convention,
C++ exception handling and RTTI...
Also UNO is pretty heavy, my estimate is around 30 binaries and 30 MB in
size, possibly more.

Damjan -
A thought - does this UNO project have any synergies with ODF Toolkit? Is it worth reaching out to Svante Schubert and the ODF Toolkit?
