The way to a new build Environment: goto SCONS

We will look at the Year 2021, check out what has worked out what did not work out. We will look at the most imortant things that we need for 2022. And we will talk about things around the Project

In this talk I will be talking about base. Base is the Database focused Application within Apache OpenOffice. We will start of with a short Description where Base comes from, and what the Idea behind base has been. I will sum up discussions that have taken place on development Mailinglist. And I would like to take some visions up from the previous discussions and talk a bit about what Base would needs if we would go into the direction of analytics and big data.

Time to look on the past year, and asses where is the Project. This talk will summerize the 2020 reports, give an overview on Discussions and Activities within the Project. If you want a quick look where the Project is and where we head, then Visit this Talk!

This talk will be about the OpenOffice Build system. We will talk about how it works today's, issues with it. And the talk will highlight current development in this field plus where it might moves in the future. (plans of development)

Sheduled length will be 20 min +question

Currently the build system is a mixture of dmake, gmake, ant and other tools. After a short going through I like to describe the vision we have for the future build system we are working towards.

Whenever I tried to look through Open Office Code I see the same Issues in Code I see in my consulting work. I would like to go with the Audience through some of the basic Antipatterns of coding. In a presentation I will define those basic Antipatterns. I will give some reasons I have seen in my professional work why they occur and they seem to be true in Open Office, too. In the last phase we will transit into a discussion about how avoid these issues, and how we can reflect on these Issues.

My Idea is to have 15 Minutes Presentation and 15 Minuts discussion. Language will be in english, as good as my english is. :)
