The Free Software Conference and Exhibition 2013 — organized by FSF.hu — was held yesterday @ Budapest. I gave a talk about hacking on Writer file format problems (slides), this time in Hungarian.
After the talk I also held a one-hour workshop, showing how to start hacking on LO in practice:
-
first we did a build (using package manager to install dependencies, git clone, autogen, make, make dev-install)
-
then we did the vcl Menu::SetItemText() hack — actually using
comphelper::string::reverseString() -
finally I spent some time explaining a few bugfixes from the recent past: I explained a VML import problem, an RTF import problem, a WW8 export mismerge, finally a WW8 import issue
We (with Andras Timar and Tamas Zolnai) also ran the LibreOffice booth. This year speakers got a free t-shirt and lunch, thanks for the organizers! :)
