What is WWDC 2008?
See Apple WWDC 2008
Our needs with Aqua version
- Compile on Intel for PPC (if time UB) [ ]
- Proxy icon in the title bar [ ]
- Use of the apple remote, especially for presentations [7]
- Printing to PDF to keep links in the same way as iWork does it. [8]
- Translating the native dialogs to the Community supported languages (that Apple doesn't support).
- Compiling on Leopard to run on Tiger. Note: QuickLook plugin ( from quicklookplugin01 cws) builds on tiger [9]
- Import/Export of iWork documents [10]
- Signing OpenOffice.org .app bundle.
- Localize the voice for accessibility features ? (only english available for Voice Over at the moment)
- Implement the native Color Picker
- Knowing the API that integrates iLife (most important iPhoto, iTunes)

Our Objectives at the WWDC 2008
Goals
1) Connection OOo Mac team / Apple engineers
-Goal 1.1: "Get infos, contacts, human to human conversation :-)"
-> Present our current work, methods and team to Apple people :
-> Meet them during WWDC: give us/them a face, keep contacts
-> Get their impression about what we have already done and what is still ToDo
2) Improve from Apple's engineers expertise
-Goal 2.1: "Give MacOS X users the OOo suite they deserve"
=> As mac platform and apple's product fans, we are proud to bring the quality and power of OOo to mac users community
=> Make OOo uses all the power of Mac OSX, including upcoming Leopard !
-Goal 2.2: "OO.org Mac port has to be as Apple HIG compliant as possible"
=> Define what is expected for User Interface of OpenOffice.org suite with people from Apple UI project
- FYI: Last year, Apple UI project proposed ericb to help us, once our native menus will be working. This is now done.
3) Get code guidelines, tips, samples
-Goal 3.1: "Ask for code review and find code snippets"
-Goal 3.2: "Attend key Labs and Sessions to get full overview of Tiger/Leopard/Core's and useful code"
- Image capture - Key signing (digital signature, to avoid Mozilla bazaar - Apple Remote
4) Social Contacts / Team emulation
Try to contact Pierre de Filippis, Sébastien Plisson and some other frenchies :)
-> Discuss and meet new developers and / or american people working for Mac OS X port (like Michael Sicotte, other..) -> Share ideas, tips, conviviality !
5) Visibility
OpenOffice.org Native Mac port has to be recognized as the professionnal office suite for Mac users it is !
