[Discussion] ODF 1.3 filter implementation strategy

Hi all,

ODF 1.3 becomes more relevant soon. MS Office 2021 will support only ODF 1.3

So I try to look into this, however our implementation on ODF currently 
uses not the filter API but office Document model directly.

Should we stay with this architecture or should we use this opportunity 
to migrate on a API driven filter?

What is your opinion on this?

Personally, I think we need a payed developer for such a task.

We would need to collect money outside the ASF, maybe the way Groovy 
does it [1] could be a solution.

Opinions?

We should ask Groovy, how they do it...

I am not even sure if we should use ASF mailing lists to discuss this topic.

However, I would be interested in more opinions, esp. from members of 
our PMC.

For this channel of revenue to be more effective, it should be promoted 
on the AOO website, like other FOSS do: for instance, both GIMP and 
Inkscape have Donate links in their navigation bar.

Hi again

There is also an Europe based host

https://opencollective.com/europe/apply

which is based in Brussels and charges only 6% (as opposed to the 10% charged by the US based host linked in the previous message)

Good morning all

I can push the plan a little further.

I think we should ask Open Collective to remove the OpenOffice project but meanwhile we can push on with "Friends of OpenOffice".

I already created my account but to create an Open Source Collective
https://opencollective.com/opensource
I believe it has to be one of the managers of the github project
https://github.com/apache/openoffice-project

I am a Contributor for the project, but I'm not sure that is enough?

Pedro

+1

If we wanted to follow this way, we should probably establish a
"Friends of OpenOffice" collective as Groovy did.

Hi Pedro,

Good find!

"OpenOffice" (exactly written like that) is a registered trademark of 
the ASF.

I think we need to add that to our list of trademark violations?

I think it is a good idea. As I mentioned before, I'm available to contribute and implementing ODF 1.3 is a good goal.

However, there is already an Open Collective for OpenOffice, although I'm not sure if it refers to this Office suite...

Has there been any work on this since? It seems that not supporting 1.3 causes troubles for AOO 
users who receive 1.3 documents.

Hello all --

If you'd like an opinion from someone who hasn't contributed to the 
project in about 3 years...

I think using the filter API is the way to go. I remember getting very 
curious about the filter API quite some time ago for something I wanted 
to work on -- maybe generic XML docs, and realized this API seemed very 
useful but I wasn't sure how it had been used. So, one opinion for you 
in any case.
