 2013-05-15T09:34:11Z Calligra News http://planetKDE.org/ Planet KDE - http://planetKDE.org/ Planet KDE 2013-05-21T03:05:51Z http://www.calligra.org/news/calligra-2-6-3-released/ http://www.calligra.org/?p=3856 Calligra 2.7 Beta Released

The Calligra team is proud and pleased to announce the beta release of version 2.7 of the Calligra Suite. This means that the calligra/2.7 branch has been created and from now on Calligra 2.7 will only see bugfixes but no new features. The final release of 2.7 is planned in approximately a month from now..

News in This Release

Calligra 2.7 contains a number of new features. Here is an excerpt of the most important ones, the full list will be available at the release of 2.7.0.

Words, the word processing application, has a new look for the toolbox. In the same toolbox there are also new controls to manipulate shapes with much enhanced usability.  Styles are now sorted with the used ones first in the style chooser which should make using styles much more convenient. There are also enhancements to the reference controls, especially regarding hyperlinks and bookmarks.

Author, the writer’s application, has new support for EPUB3: mathematical formulas and multimedia contents are now exported to ebooks using the EPUB format.  There is also new support for book covers using images.

There is a new export filter for common text and enhancements to the docx import filter, which can now support predefined table styles. Note that all of these enhancements to Words and Author are also available in the other application. We note here where they were originally developed.

Sheets, the spreadsheet application, has new support for pivot tables. This is a Google Summer of Code project that was integrated into the Calligra code base during the 2.7 development cycle.

Plan, the project management application, has improvement in the scheduling of tasks and new export filters to OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) and CSV.

In Kexi, the visual database creator, there is a new feature to import CSV data into an existing table.

There are some improvements in the general shapes available from most Calligra applications: The formula shape now has new ways to enter formula: a matlab/octave mode and a LaTEX mode. The tool for the text shape is improved to better handle text styles.

Another change common to Words, Author and Stage is that the visual style editor got improvements.

Krita, the 2D paint application, has new grayscale masks, a better freehand path tool with line smoothing, a way to paint shapes with Krita brushes, improved color to alpha filter, an improved crop tool and an improved transform tool that helps the user create textures. Support for new file formats include export to QML and a much improved import/export filter for photoshop PSD files.

Unfortunately there were two large features that didn’t make the deadline: Annotations in Words/Author and export to the Microsoft Docx format. These features will be present in the next version of Calligra.

Try It Out

The source code of the snapshot is available for download: calligra-2.6.90.tar.bz2. Alternatively, you can download binaries for many Linux distributions and windows.

OpenTBS is a PHP tool that helps you to make OpenOffice and MS Office documents using templates. You first design your template using OpenOffice or MS Office, and then OpenTBS merges it with data that you supply from PHP code and databases. It has facilities to manage pictures. The resulting documents are saved to file, served for download, or returned as a string. In fact, OpenTBS can merge any OpenDocument files, any OpenXML files, and any XML files compressed in a Zip archive. No extra exe file is required and it makes no temporary files, since all work is done in memory. OpenTBS is based on the TinyButStrong template engine.

Release Notes: This release added 12 new features, three enhancements, and four bugfixes. Spelling in PPTX templates is automatically cleaned up. A block alias helps you to easily define TBS blocks on pages and sections. New "tagpos", "delcol", and "mergecell" parameters were added. Merging of charts is now available for LibreOffice. New commands were added OPENTBS_SELECT_SLIDE, OPENTBS_DELETE_SLIDES, OPENTBS_DISPLAY_SLIDES, OPENTBS_COUNT_SLIDES, OPENTBS_MERGE_SPECIAL_ITEMS, and OPENTBS_CHANGE_PICTURE.

So, what do we have here?   This is a graph of Apache projects and how they are related, by one definition of “related” in any case.  Click on the image for a larger PNG version, or here if you would like an SVG.

Each labeled circle (node) in the graph represents one project at Apache.  Or to be specific it represents the membership of a single Project Management Committee (PMC),  the leadership committee that each Apache project has.  The size of the node is proportionate to the size of the PMC.    You can see that the largest PMCs are Apache Axis (56 members),  Httpd (55 members), Subversion (42 members), WS (41 members) and Geronimo (also 41 members).

The edges between the PMC nodes represent the ties between the PMCs as revealed by overlapping membership.  So PMCs that have a larger number of members in common have a thicker line connecting them.  I used the Sørensen–Dice coefficient to express the overlap.  This is a simple calculation that looks at the overlap in membership of two sets, scaled by the size of the individual sets.  It varies from 0 to 1,  with 0 meaning no overlap at all and 1 meaning total overlap.    An example:  Look at the bottom of the graph at the thick line connecting Apache Flume and Sqoop.  The Flume PMC has 20 members and the Sqoop PMC has 13.  They have 6 members in common, so the Dice coefficient is (2*6)/(20+13) = 0.36.   The highest weight edge in the graph is that between Apache Httpd and the Apache Portable Runtime (APR), with a coefficient of 0.52.

(Observant Apache participants will note that the chart is missing some PMCs.  I omitted Apache Labs, Incubator and Attic since they are umbrella projects representing parts of a project lifecycle.  They don’t have a specific technical orientation and the commonality in membership would not mean anything.  I left out Comdev as well, for the similar reasons.)

The color for each node was determined by a community-detection algorithm (modularity) which finds projects that have a high degree of interconnection.  This has brought out some of the larger trends within Apache, such as the grouping of cloud-related projects, big data related ones, content management,  enterprise middleware, etc.  What is interesting is that this graph was created without knowing anything at all about the technology within each project.  The graph is based on PMC membership data only.  So individual volunteers, by their choice of what projects they work, is the motive force behind these groupings.

Some other interesting facts:

  • The PMCs with connections to the most other PMCs are Commons (34), WS (32), DirectMemory (31), Aries (28) and Geronimo (28).
  • If you look at the most connections to other PMCs (subtly different from the above since it is possible to have more than one member in another PMCs) the top projects are: DirectMemory, Karaf, Servicemix, BVal and Geronimo.
  • Betweeness centrality looks at the importance of a node with respect to helping connect other nodes.  It looks at the shortest path between all pairs of nodes, and which specific nodes are most often the ones that are passed through on these shortest paths.  If we were looking at a graph of air traffic routes, the hub cities would be the ones with the highest centrality.  If we were looking at how to communicate an idea, influence opinion, or to spread an infectious  disease (all the same thing, really), these central nodes are ones to look at.  The PMCs at Apache with the highest betweeness are: Commons, DirectMemory, WS, Httpd and Portals.

So how did I do this?

The core data I got from scraping this page, which lists all Apache committers.  I did this in Python using BeautifulSoup, building up the PMC membership in a dictionary.  Then Python’s set operations made calculating the Dice coefficient a simple task:

    intersect = SetA.intersection(SetB)

    dice = (2.0*len(intersect)/(len(SetA)+len(SetB)))

The script then wrote out the graph data, include node size and edge weight into a Gexf-format XML file, which I then processed using Gephi.  Here’s the data file I used if you want to play with the data yourself.

In Part II of this series, I’ll take a look at finer-grained data, at the social network graph of Apache Software Foundation participants at the individual level.

OpenDocument files can also take the format of a [[ZIP (file format)|ZIP]] compressed archive containing a number of files and directories; these can contain binary content and benefit from ZIP's [[lossless compression]] to reduce file size. OpenDocument benefits from [[separation of concerns]] by separating the content, styles, metadata, and application settings into four separate XML files.

Every April, a couple of dedicated free software enthusiasts host a conference called "Linuxtage" at the FH Joanneum in Graz.

It's an awesome little event that has grown organically over the last couple of years to the point where it really isn't that "little" anymore.
Nevertheless, great management has ensured to maintain the approachable small-town feel of the conference meaning that walking through the location you'll see everything from local seniors looking for a new challenge to Canonical employees demoing their cutting edge mobile platform.

Our very own Kevin Krammer is actually part of the organizing team and made sure that KDE always had a booth. However, staffing a booth and being responsible for literally anything else at the same time is always problematic so this year, I offered to take over the booth.

Claudia Rauch, our hardworking business manager offered to send me some t-shirts, bags and buttons to sell which were great.
Moreover, Kevin also organized a couple of KDE branded USB sticks which were a huge success.
But I also wanted something that I could hand out so that people could try out KDE software at home so I contacted the OpenSUSE promo team, which, without hesitation, agreed to send 100 freshly pressed DVDs of their newest release coupled with some additional promotional material right to my door step.

The booth itself was perfectly placed in a hight-traffic corner (apparently, it does helps to know the organizers :) and I got to show off KDE to a very diverse audience.

Personally, I've always found it hard to quickly describe "KDE" to someone outside the FOSS world so after a couple of hours I instead ended up devising an alternate strategy: Vaguely describe KDE as a "community of like-minded people working on free software" and instead focus on a specific application: I asked people about their most exotic (non-standard) application and tried to find a KDE equivalent. Interestingly, that worked almost always and I got to show off, among others, Krita, the music editor flake in Calligra Words, Skrooge and RKWard.

All in all, it was a great event. We raised more than € 200.- for the KDE e.V., got people who had never even heard about KDE excited about it, and discussed the Join the Game program with those that already were.

I recently added initial support for real time collaboration in fontforge. This was followed by the wonderful fortune of presenting the work at the Libre Graphics Meeting last week.  Having collab in fontforge allows you to create and edit glyphs and have other fontforge instances in the collab session see your changes in (near) real time. There is also support for python scripting, so you can have one fontforge instance be a headless scripted one which continually creates new ttf files as you edit a font. Using collab with scripts like this allows for possibilities which didn't exist. For example, the ttf generation can take time, and doing it each time an edit is made in the fontforge process that is editing a glyph would be too slow. Even saving the font to SFD/UFO each edit so you can fork() and create the ttf would be too slow. The Collab support is needed to allow the user experience of editing glyphs not to bog down.

I'm now working out what I'll be hacking on next. If you are looking for a C/C++ programmer with a Bachelors, Masters, and PhD on computer science to do some hacking feel free to contact me. I own the gmail and sf.net email addresses associated with this blog.

I've hacked on Abiword, Calligra, some fringe EFL stuff, fontforge (as one already knows from the top of this post), and many other contributions here and there. My main for fun project is libferris, a metadata handling virtual filesystem with index and search capabilities.

KDE Project:

It's been 10 years since I joined Kexi and thus the KDE community. I think writing down some history and summary makes sense.


2003-03-28: first touch on Kexi sources for porting


It all started at a technology fair in Warsaw, 2003. I wasn't too keen to go but got free tickets and free time. I met a founder of OpenOffice Polska LLC (later renamed to OpenOffice Software) from Warsaw presenting its adaptation of deeply localized, nicely prebuilt office suite based on OpenOffice.org. The office suite has been open sourced StartOffice over two years before by SUN and then localizations or user handbooks basically did not exist. During the meeting among other topics we also discussed apparent missing bit in the OpenOffice.org suite: a rival of MS Access. I proposed to perform some research on how the app can be added. I got hired and engaged full-time from March 2003.



Join the big guys

The business model was largely similar to what is known from server Linux tools or support subscriptions: offer the tools for free, with the source code, and build products and services (such as support) on top. I was already confident that my adventures with open source would start soon, I just wasn't sure what project to join.

My initial attempt should have been obvious: say hello to OpenOffice.org to start a MS Access clone project within it. That was nice theory but has never worked since OpenOffice.org project wasn't even semi-openly governed. Talking to OO.org meant talking to SUN Microsystems. A small company is rarely a part in such relations.

So another solution was to start from scratch or join existing open source project that shares our goals.

By that time a great smart guy Lucijan Busch from Austria already started his work on Kexi which he launched as a summer project in 2002. (a hint for all of you who think you're too young to start doing some KDE Junior Job, you are wrong, Lucijan was only 16 years old when he started Kexi!)


Lucijan in 2004 or so



MS Windows, positive side effects

Based on the business model of OpenOffice Polska, Kexi had to run natively on Windows to integrate well with to OS. So a side effect of my project was the KDE on Windows initiative that resulted in another general-purpose target for KDE software which is now a subproject on its own. Initial selection of features (such as larger parts of KDElibs) was closely related to needs of Kexi Windows port. I owe a big credit to my employer that it allowed me to contribute in a sane way instead of just accepting code forks.

Naturally, for some time I was the only hacker using MSVC for actual KDE code. Having the Linux KDE Desktop around all the time but about first three years of my Kexi development was happening in a MSVC IDE. The primary reason for that at the time was poor availability of debugging tools for Linux and slow gcc compiler. And Kexi was already a really complex layered app for me, developed with limited head count and time pressure. On arrival of powerful hardware, Qt Creator and KDevelop tools that reasoning more or less disappeared. Even though I still see certain teams working this way, this is no longer happening in the Kexi project.

The investment resulted in Windows version of Kexi dynamically linked with commercial Qt as GPL version was not available for Windows back then. The software at the KDE side was fully LGPL, so that option was all legal. Just like it was the case with our OpenOffice offerings, our Kexi customers were coming from Windows. To make everybody’s live easier I prepared combined installer offering the OpenOffice apps and Kexi bundled side-by-side on a single CD.


Kexi on Windows

Another nice credit for my employer could be that there were no unpleasant "code drops" once a year of so. Full code of Kexi always immediately landed in the KDE repository what was a result of development happening directly within the KDE infrastructure. And for direct benefit of KDE users on Linux the Kexi code had Linux/Windows multiplatform nature inspired by Qt itself, with Mac versions available too. After leaving OpenOffice Software LLC, I am following this track for any development within Kexi even while its LGPL would permit different strategies.

As a result Kexi was relatively popular on Windows among people using the company's OpenOffice flavour and especially outside of Poland (both English and Polish localizations were supported). By "relatively" I mean Kexi is more specialized tool than a general purpose office apps such as a word processor. And as expected not many paying customers were interested in non-Windows versions.

Summing up, given the amount of freedom, the employment at OpenOffice Software felt a bit more like a sponsorship. It lasted until late 2008 and my full-time development of Kexi lasted until late 2007.



Community, contributions, maintainership

In summer 2004 Lucijan left the Kexi project and I took over the maintainership.

After six months or so I realized I have some thoughts to share with my new KDE friends. To give back to those from whom I am learning new things. Now I see a majority of my 132 blog entries were devoted to Kexi, KOffice/Calligra or KDE on Windows. (By the way. I'd like to encourage those of you that are "just coding" to start blogging too. It's not necessary to be a fan of philosophy, sociology or psychology like Aaron :) But at least I can see many of my contributions that were inspired by one or another blog or talk. Or just a comment. So maybe this process is recursive? When you work remotely why wouldn't you let others to better understand your dificulties, reasons for certain decisions or conversely? It will never hurt)

Coding is only a part of the story. During the time like many others I gave a few presentations on Kexi at conferences or meetings devoted to education or open source, including KDE Akademy. Kexi was topic at numerous KOffice/Calligra developer meetings. During the development thousands lines of IRC discussion have been exchanged, dozens of design documents (wikis) created and tutorial written as well as two handbooks. I exchanged hundreds of emails with contributors and users. Recently we started to advertise to use the dedicated forum. Managed to push many releases. It is always interesting to realize how diverse are needs of Kexi users. Supporting wide spectrum of use case can give extra satisfaction.

OpenOffice.org wakes up

While I've been working on Kexi for two years or more already, I noticed SUN finally started its OpenOffice.org Base project, truly the only OO.org app that wasn't migrated from the StarOffice suite. I quickly noticed that the SUN's Java and servers mindset left its stamp on Base. Being based on a Java database back-end it was more resource-hungry for available desktop computers that were available at the time. Secondly, Base was also internally more based on Writer than an independent app. It apparently followed the habit of OpenOffice to mimick the MS Office's look and feel. It was clearly a huge and risky effort for a new app. Thirdly, Base's the local storage was based on compressed XML (to me another sign of SUN's Java and servers mindset), which is useful for documents, systems integration and standards such as ODF but which is also a nonsense for anyone accustomed with physics of relational databases (including MS Access' Jet back-end). After realizing this I was rather happy I had no opportunity to join the project. My employer shared this opinion.



Competition

The Kexi project operates in specialized area within a hard market filled with proprietary "enterprise" solutions. In the meantime while Kexi was evolving a number of respected and already powerful open source competitors passed away. Rekall was open-sourced in 2003 but faded when the company behind it disappeared already in KDE 3 times. The same applies to Knoda. As of now Glom database tool for GNOME is actively maintained. And while OpenOffice/LibreOffice Base is of course maintained, these do not seem to be as actively developed as other apps from the respective office suites.

That said, primary competitors such as Filemaker or Microsoft Access are big and enjoying diversified funding. They are apparently trying to secure their market share by using closed document formats, something especially important for this data-oriented software. Despite of all its "interoperability buzz" around the proprietary DOC, XLS and PPT formats MS never agreed to open up its MDB format. This way programs and databases based on MDB remain the most closed ones; realistically you cannot switch a compiler or database engine.



Where we are and where are we going?

Through its history a number of talented developers joined the Kexi project and contributed with their valuable time. Two of them shared especially long time, Sebastian Sauer and Adam Pigg. Adam is still the contributor to Kexi and Sebastian is active in Calligra too. Of course one big contributor is also the Calligra and wider KDE community as a whole because Kexi shares the common development infrastructure and various initiatives.

   
Sebastian and Adam

In 2012 new developers joined and are already contributing. There is also pretty much high interest in Google Summer of Code tasks related to Kexi even while at most one slot is available every year.

The question of developer workforce needed to generate a snowball effect appears constantly. Rational users know that most complicated improvements would need sponsored developers and coordinated effort. Perhaps dedicated Kexi Foundation accepting donations worldwide would be the answer? That would be similar to what the sister Calligra's project Krita just did last year.

10 years. So yes, I am that old. A software architect who still remembers how to program and actually still programs. All that wouldn't be possible without supportive people that one can meet on the way. And never to forget, special thanks should go to my lovely wife and the whole family.



Post Scriptum

For curious here is a visual time line presenting large part of computing history. History of Kexi and KOffice, Calligra and KDE has been combined into a single graph completed with a bit of historical context, even with competing OO.org and MS Office projects. From the "Lines of code" column (counted using the SLOCCount tool) you can note that size of the code base of Kexi did not increase too much after 2009. This means the activity leans towards removing defects from the app and improving its usability and existing features rather than developing new ones. This makes difference for the users given the available resources are limited. Even while users are hungry of new cool features only a few simpler features have been added during this period.

KDE Project:

Introduction

Coffice (Calligra Office or coffee-in-office) is a new project that tries to make Calligra available on mobile platforms like Android, Blackberry 10, Jolla SailfishOS and Ubuntu Phone.

With the MeeGo-saga, where Calligra was the office suite that Nokia shipped with the N9, a huge chunk of focus went on trimming Calligra for mobile platforms, improving performance and compatibility with ISO OpenDocument (ODF) and Microsoft Office formats (binary and XML). When MeeGo got finished focus shifted to other platforms. Our always present Linux Desktop got extended with a great port to Windows and Krita Sketch, both done by KO GmbH. More then a year ago we also saw a first port of Calligra on Android that unfortunately never got polished enough to be published on Android's app-store(s).

Meanwhile I had the luck to build up Qt on Android expertise thanks to my employer KDAB.

Enter Coffice.

The Goals

Unlikely previous attempts that always tried to bring a 1:1 port of Calligra to mobile platforms including all dependencies I defined different goals. Those are:

* Focus on a Calligra Words (word processor) ODT viewer. Since bringing a whole Office suite to another platforms is a huge task and I am a small team I had to focus. Later on I plan to add doc/docx support, editing, saving and Calligra Sheets (spreadsheets) and Calligra Stage (presentations).

* Slim! Ever since ~10 years ago when I joined KOffice/Calligra the size of the suite was overwhelming. A huge chunk is Calligra itself, that consists of a dozen of very specialized applications. That I addressed with my focus on Words, on a selected number of plugins. The other reason for that size are the dependencies. Among them kdelibs and all it drags in. During MeeGo-times we handled that with a slim hand-modified kdelibs but decided very fast that this was the wrong way. Instead we got or will get what is commonly known yet as kdeframeworks. A much more modular kdelibs that solves the huge chunk of dependencies that are dragged on to other platforms where we (as app developers) are not particular interested in Linux Desktop integration but more into the platform that app runs on.

Work Done

* Coffice uses qmake rather then cmake. I decided for qmake cause qmake works out of the box on all mobile platforms that are supported by Qt. If cmake does that too, and its moving that direction with cmake being a first-class citizen in Qt5, it may make sense to switch to cmake again (or not) - don't have a strong opinion on that cause at the end its a tool to reach the goal.

* Coffice is 100% Qt-only. For that I introduced the coffice/fake library which maps kdelibs-API direct to Qt without all the functionality, without dbus, without daemons, etc. In most cases not even with implementation at all. Its a thin-layer to get Calligra or parts of it compiled and linking without adding any kind of patches to Calligra itself. My goal here was to *not* break the desktop (sounds familar? :) ) or uglify the code or make it more difficult to maintain that code at our first-class tear, the Linux Desktop.

* Most of calligra-libs compile+link, some selected plugins (the important ones) compile+link and Calligra Words itself compiles+links.

* I added a simple QML1 app to display.

* In total the size of the Package and installed application is 2.5MB (excluding Qt but everything else included).

Work to do

* Polish, get things fast, fix bugs, add Microsoft binary and xml filters, bring Calligra Sheets and Calligra Stage over too, etc.

* Compile versions for Blackberry 10 and Jolla SailfishOS (needs devices for testing, hint, hint :) ).

The Result

It works and the first version is available at Google Play and can be installed on your Android >=2.1 device.

Screenshot:

The Code

In the Calligra repository you will find a branch named coffice. That's (a yet 2 weeks old) untouched Calligra master with an additional top-level directory named "coffice". All work happens within that directory. Long-term plan may to get that into master or not. It depends since a stable branch with controlled merges from head has also advantages. We will see.

In that directory is a file named "Calligra.patchfile" that contains a patchset against things outside of that "coffice" directory. That file is not supposed to be there and plan is to rework the patches in there (~50 lines or so only left atm) and merge them into master. Currently its needed to "cd calligra && git apply coffice/Calligra./patchfile". Then "qtcreator coffice/coffice.pro" will load the project, allow to setup the target-environment(s) and produce packages.

Like it?

The Calligra mailinglist welcomes developers and users.

All that software including Calligra and Coffice are free, have no ads, are opensource. If you like that please donate to KDE to keep things running.

Like to get Qt-software on to Android/BB10/Windows/OSX/Linux/...? My employer: KDAB - we do platform independent software solutions.

Need expertise in ODF, OpenDocument, file-formats, Qt/HTML5: KO GmbH

Commercial license and support are available from Digia. Enjoy the benefits :)

Update

Great feedback in the web related to the READ_PHONE_STATE. Will set/raise the minSdkVersion and added a comment at related bug 309678. Thanks!

Update 2

Yes, its coming to F-Droid too.

large_document_freedom_day.jpeg

What is Document Freedom Day?

Document Freedom Day, this year on March 27th, is a global celebration of open standards, especially ones that are used in your documents.  At Apache OpenOffice, we're strong supporters of open standards and we're pleased to join in this year's celebration.  But we're much more than passive supporters of open standards.  We're also active implementers of open standards, and several of our project volunteers serve on standards committees as well.

What is an Open Standard? 

There are many definitions of "open standard", some of which are summarized on this Wikipedia page.  But the central idea is that an open standard is a standard that 1) is developed in an open, consensus based standardization process, and 2) does not require royalty payments in order to implement. 

Why are Open Standards important?

  • The use of open standards makes your software less expensive, since the authors of the code do not need to pay royalties. Free software, including open source software, would be nearly impossible to create without open standards.
  • Open standards promote widespread adoption and interoperability.
  • Open standards encourage a market where vendors compete based on features and quality, rather than rely on vendor lock-in.
  • Open standards put you in control of your documents and your data.

Open standards are what the World Wide Web was built upon, and this openness was essential to its success.  Tim Berners-Lee explained why was so in a 2007 interview:

It was the standardization around HTML that allowed the web to take off. It was not only the fact that it is standard, but the fact that it’s open and the fact that it is royalty-free.

So what we saw on top of the web was a huge diversity and different business which are built on top of the web given that it is an open platform.

If HTML had not been free, if it had been proprietary technology, then there would have been the business of actually selling HTML and the competing JTML, LTML, MTML products. Because we wouldn’t have had the open platform, we would have had competition for these various different browser platforms, but we wouldn’t have had the web. We wouldn’t have had everything growing on top of it.

So I think it very important that as we move on to new spaces … we must keep the same openness we that had before. We must keep an open internet platform, keep the standards for the presentation languages common and royalty free. So that means, yes, we need standards, because the money, the excitement is not competing over the technology at that level. The excitement is in the businesses and the applications that you built on top of the web platform.

How is Apache OpenOffice involved in Open Standards?

We're involved in two ways.   First, we're an implementer of several key open standards, including:

  • Open Document Format (ODF), the ISO-approved standard for office documents.  ODF is the default document format in OpenOffice.
  • Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), the W3C standard for vector graphics.
  • Portable Document Format (PDF), the ISO-approved standard for fixed-layout document representations.
  • Mathematical Markup Language (MathML), the W3C standard for representing mathematical equations.

Secondly, many of our volunteers are actively involved in the creation and maintenance of open standards, especially at OASIS, where the technical committee for ODF is:


  • Oliver Rainer-Wittman is a long-time member of the OASIS ODF Technical Committee (TC), and also participant in ODF Plugfests.
  • Dennis Hamilton is a member of the ODF TC and Secretary of the ODF Interoperability and Conformance (OIC) TC, and is active as well in ISO/IEC JTC1 SC34/WG6 where the ISO version of ODF is maintained.
  • Rob Weir is Chair of the OASIS ODF TC and a frequent participant in ODF Plugfests.
  • Other OpenOffice Committers are members of the OASIS ODF TC, including Regina Henschel, Louis Suárez-Potts, Don Harbison and Michael Stahl.
  • Others at Apache are involved in ODF standardization, included Svante Schubert, Committer in the Apache ODF Toolkit Project, who is Chair of the Advanced Document Collaboration Subcommittee, developing enhanced change tracking support for the next version of ODF.

What can You do to help promote open standards?

  1. Use open standards wherever your application supports them.
  2. If your favorite application doesn't support open standards like ODF, write to your vendor and request that they add support.
  3. When you publish or share a document, do so in open formats like ODF or PDF.

Krita has been developing quite fast, so you may be surprised to know that Krita's core team is actually quite small, not to mention severely overworked. We need your help! Whether you are a developer or non-developer, there are many things that need to be done to improve the Krita experience! In particular, Krita urgently needs:

  • A maintainer for Krita's merchandise shop: Krita has a mostly unused merchandise shop on zazzle.com . A volunteer is needed to properly set up and maintain it. Create cool new merchandise, keep a choice selection of t-shirt designs available -- All proceeds will be used to fund the Krita Foundation.
  • Developers: You'll be able to work on one of the coolest and fastest-growing open source painting programs out there. Krita also benefits from a modular architecture and the use of the Calligra and Qt libraries, which makes it easier to focus on new features instead of reinventing the wheel. And it makes coding fun!
  • Maintainers for Windows and OSX versions: Do you have experience porting and maintaining programs from Linux to Windows or OSX? As we all know, the current Windows version of Krita needs a lot of work. Please help us bring Krita to a wider audience!
  • Writers: The website, user documentation wiki and developer wiki are all in need of new content!
  • Marketing: Krita needs to regularly announce new releases or fundraising efforts on a variety of websites/blogs/social networks. This requires a lot of coordination work and perhaps a smart strategist.
  • Many more: Krita's community is very friendly and supportive. We welcome all types of contributors!

If you've always hoped to contribute back to the project, please don't hesitate to join us at our new Join page, or help us spread the word! You can also support Krita's development through donations. The Krita team thanks you for all the support you have shown us until now!

Field of painting that Krita explicitly supports is also creating textures for rendering. This field gets attention mostly these days. Transform tool was improved just recently.

One bug, that caught my attention, was about transforming layers with offset. It is essential image pixel transformation if you want to produce seamless textures.

I started to work on it before our Calligra Essen Sprint 2013, then there I made some progress together with dmitryK. Dmitry next to me made the integration much more faster as Dmitry knows processing framework used in Krita very well. Now I clean up rough edges and I’m trying to support corner use-cases like multi-layer document with transparency masks and other crazy possibilities that are available in Krita. As you will see in the video, texture artist is usually using one layer in most cases.

Anyway, the offset transformation can be found in Image menu and Layer menu. If you have multi-layer image and you want to offset all the layers, you use Image->Offset. If you want to offset only active layer, you go to Layer->Offset menu. The default coordinates in UI point to the center of canvas or if you have active selection, to the center of the selection.

mifth, Krita user and graphics artist, that reported the bug, was so kind, that he prepared video demonstrating the feature

To support the texture workflow even better in Krita, it would be nice to implement texture analysis and synthesis filter. For GIMP there is plug-in called ResynthesizerGiven a sample of a texture, it can create more of that texture. Auto-magically!

Last weekend I have been taking part in this years Calligra sprint, which once again was at the Linuxhotel in Essen. This year we had something special as the sprint was actually happening in two places at the same time. While one part of the team was in Essen, the other part of the team meet in Bangalore. This was simply due to the problem that we could only fly a limited number of people around the globe. Both meetings were connected via Google Hangout which worked reasonably well, except for some microphone problems. Another nice additions was that we also had a kitchen, where Thorsten and Arjen cooked lots of pasta and sauces.

Calligra track

Most of the time in the general Calligra track was spent on discussing upcoming changes and technologies. With many new upcoming Qt 5 mobile plattforms the mobile Calligra version are getting more and more important. For Calligra as a whole we have to change the way how we integrate the UI with the rest of the applications and which libraries we want to use or not use.

One of the big technologies that that KOffice 1.x was build around is KParts. It was used to embed documents into other documents, to embed the application in Konqueror and much more. Over time many of these usecases have been solved differently or are becoming far less common than they used to be while at the same time it has been making more and more trouble. So our long is to replace KParts in the future. As a one possibility to a new framework Friedrich presented his Kasten framwork. Altogether this will need a lot of time to complete, but will result in a much better architecture.

Beside these big topic there are were many smaller discussion around topics like QML user interface, more focus on testing and an a development process where we created stable snapshots of the master branch. There are also some interesting developments on things annotation and docx export.

A bit sad was the discussion around unmaintained applications. After some maintainers got busy with life recently some application are unmaintained and see no further development at the moment. This is not a very surprising development as we have been working with a bus factor of 1 for years on these applications. Affected by this are Karbon, Plan and Braindump. We decided that for now the applications will get a splashscreen that informs about the unmaintained state, but still stay as part of the official release. Unless new maintainers step up, these application look towards an uncertain future.

Krita BOF

Beside the Calligra discussion we also had a BOF with the Krita developers, which actually took place over all three days. Krita development is running really well and we are more and more popular in areas outside the usual open source community. Boud reported about presenting Krita Sketch at Mobile World Congress and some news from the VFX world. I did already know that Krita was used in visual effects, but so far didn’t know on which movies Krita was used. So it was exciting to hear that Krita was used in production on the upcoming G.I. Joe movie.

On Friday we discussed the main areas which we want to improve in the coming time. The included a better support for Windows and Mac OS, a new OpenGL ES canvas to replace the current OpenGL canvas and lots of smaller improvements. We want to port to Qt 5 as soon as possible as it offers solutions for many these issues. Unfortunately KDE Frameworks is still in the works, so it will take some time.

Beside that I designed the new operation system with Dmitry and Lukáš. The main purposed of that is to separate the UI and operation code in Krita. Instead of connecting everything the old way, we let the application figure out which UI to show and which operation to execute. Instead of signals/slots we use use settings objects to communicate between UI and application. This approach has several advantages: The code becomes more modular, different UIs can be added easily by plugins e.g. for QML interfaces and it can be recorded for macros.

On Sunday I and Boud went through the Krita crashes in Bugzilla and did some cleanup there. Having two different systems and people check at the same time was really productive, as sometimes I could produce other problems on Kubuntu than Boud on OpenSuse and the other way around. For example we found a crash with the Ubuntu jpeg library which didn’t happen on OpenSuse. Altogether we were able to resolve 14 crash reports.

Finally I want to thank KDE e.V and Friedrich for making this sprint possible. Many thanks also go to the cooking team.

This is part of the "Case for KDE" series of blog entries in which I explore various non-technical aspects of KDE. What follows are my personal thoughts and observations rather than an officially sanctioned position statement by the KDE community.

I figured I would start with the topic of branding as it is a fairly simple topic .. a nice way to ease into this little adventure. It's also a topic that has been getting increasing amounts of attention in the Free software communities in the last few years as products become more successful, projects progress and more companies appear on the scene.

So where does KDE stand on branding?

Brand as Reflection

Branding is used to communicate a message to the outside world. "What message?" is the million dollar question. Some use branding as a way to project an image of what they wish to be, sometimes without concern about whether that is reality or not. Some use branding simply as an abstract identifier that says "This is us" without embodying a given message. Others use branding to reflect the core values and ideas that exist independently of the branding. I like to think of these respectively as image, identification and reflection branding.

(I'm sure professionals in the marketing space who specializing in branding are ready to choke me right about now .. ;)

KDE has elected for the sort of branding that reveals inner realities. This means that there is extremely limited pressure from the branding efforts to alter the core products, values or community. Instead the evolution of KDE itself puts pressure on the branding, causing it to adjust with time to accurately reflect what KDE is right now and the direction the efforts are heading in.

This is why a few years back we chose to no longer use the term "KDE" to refer to the software itself, but rather the community. KDE is the people. The things they make, all that lovely software, art, documentation .. those things have proper names. This is not where KDE started 15 years ago, but what it became.

Brand as Permission

Sometimes KDE uses branding in a rather unorthodox way: as permission. When we took the name "KDE" away from our desktop offering (now referred to as Plasma Desktop) it gave us permission to reconsider the relationship between the libraries, the desktop and the applications. Up until that point there were two recurring sets of tensions.

A growing number of application developers were actively trying to distance themselves from the name "KDE" so that people wouldn't mistakenly think that the attributes of the "KDE desktop" reflected on their work, or that you could only use their app in "KDE" (the desktop environment).

We also undervalued our library assets. They existed simply to let us write applications. We released them in one big lump along with our applications, in fact. This kept many people from using the libraries and tied us to some very uncomfortable release scheduling attributes in which we had to release the core platform with the desktop (and the applications).

When we reworked what the "KDE" brand meant we were able to find the path to resolving these issues and now we are looking at the next major release of libraries happening independent from the desktop or applications, allowing greater access to them, and our application developer community is stronger and more tightly connected than ever.

I think this is a fascinating, and very non-traditional, use of branding and shows that KDE understands that the words we use can shape how we think.

Brand Consistency

While there have been changes in the last years to the brand positioning, the KDE brand has also retained a core consistency: that unmistakable blue, the gear, the K .. the "KDE-ness" of the websites, release announcements, the public support campaign. We've even kept our mascots, Konqi and Katie, though they have evolved too.

As with KDE's products, the brand evolves in a relatively consistent line forward. This is critical for our partners and our users who really don't need to deal with constantly changing directions. This is simply another way that the branding reflects the thing it represents.

Brand as Collaboration

KDE isn't only about the KDE brand, however. We've seen some fantastic brands crop up from within KDE  over the years. Amarok was perhaps one of the earlier such brands, and these days it is joined by such names as Kontact, Calligra, Krita, Marble, Plasma and more. The relationship between the KDE brand and these brands is refreshing: KDE does not aim to control these brands nor inflict changes on them to "better reflect" KDE (whatever that would mean) or to fall into line with the desktop offering, for instance.

Rather, the various teams within KDE collaborate through social interaction to find harmonies as well as independence. This results in separately identifiable identities for each team, though they magically end up echoing unifying principles both visually and in content.

Modifications to the shared branding has also been done through a (admittedly slow) process of collaboration. This has preserve harmony over the long haul even during times of change, something people tend to dislike on an instinctual level.

As a result, we have a rather healthy valuation and respect for the brands internally. Companies are actively discouraged from trying to exclusively appropriate brands that were developed in the community. As a result companies around KDE that do use KDE branding tend to do so collaboratively with both the community and other companies, which simply opens more opportunities and lowers the risk of conflict.

It isn't all insular, inward looking work either. We have worked with downstream packagers in the past to do special editions of our wallpapers to fit their identities while echoing our upstream art direction. Which brings me to:

Brand Plasticity

When KDE has had to choose between communicating our brand and respecting the freedom of others to modify our work, we've tended to lean in the direction of freedom. That freedom has an interesting impact on efforts such as artwork: we try to create the most beautiful thing we can so that our partners have no reason to modify it much. Our art team has gone out of its way to create a stunning visual identity encompassing icons, widget theme, color schemes and even a font. They've even brought this identity to toolkits other than the one we use (Qt) so that when you run application written with these other toolkits the user still gets a consistent look and feel. Our visual identity is therefore preserved by striving for quality and by being inclusive.

This is an interesting, and positive, result of respecting a certain amount of plasticity in the branding.

Branding as Not Everything

There is a theme in all of the above: branding is not everything. It always bends to, and reflects, the things we consider as more important, to be of more value: community, technology, openness, freedom. This has undoubtedly come at a certain cost to KDE's brand effectiveness, but it also contributes to the sustainability of KDE's efforts in the long term.

.. because maybe .. just maybe .. branding isn't everything, and shouldn't be allowed to push and shove around the more important things. That is something I believe you can count on in KDE for a long time to come.

The Calligra team has released version 2.6.2, the second bugfix release of the Calligra Suite,  and Calligra Active. This release contains a number of important bug fixes to 2.6.1 and we recommend everybody to update.

Bugfixes in This Release

Here is an overview of the most important fixes that are in 2.6.2. There are several others that are not mentioned here.

General:

  • Mime types were synced between the Words, Sheets and Stage applications and the Calligra Active application.

Filters:

  • A bugfix in the import filter for the old KSpread file format that led to styles being treated wrong.

Sheets:

  • Fix for a bug that sometimes made the error #CIRCLE appear on a cell even when there was no circular dependency (bug 316244)

Krita:

  • Fix for a bug with the OpenGL drivers that led to the user sometimes have to remove their kritarc file manually (bug 308713).
  • Krita now correctly remembers the layer box status.
  • A crash fix for empty layers
  • A fix in the autosave code
  • Fix for a bug when a layer was rotated counter clockwise.

Kexi:

  • Don’t require write access in file connection for read-only mode

Try It Out

  • The source code is available for download: calligra-2.6.2.tar.bz2. As far as we are aware, the following distributions package Calligra 2.6. This information will be updated when we get more details. In addition, many distributions will package and ship Calligra 2.6 as part of their standard set of applications.
  • In Chakra Linux, Calligra is the default office suite so you don’t have to do anything at all to try out Calligra.  Chakra aims to be a showcase Linux for the “Elegance of the Plasma Desktop” and other KDE software.
  • Users of Ubuntu and Kubuntu are urged to try the daily snapshots prepared by Project Neon. Paste the following in a terminal window and you’ll find Calligra installed in /opt: 
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neon/ppa \
&& sudo apt-get update\
&& sudo apt-get install project-neon-base \
   project-neon-calligra \
   project-neon-calligra-dbg

    You can run these packages by adding /opt/project-neon/bin to your PATH.

  • Arch Linux provides Calligra packages in the [kde-unstable] repository.
  • Fedora packages are available in the rawhide development repository (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Rawhide), and unofficial builds are available for prior releases from kde-unstable repository at http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ .
  • There are OpenSUSE Calligra packages in the unstable playground repository.
  • Calligra FreeBSD ports are available in Area51.
  • MS Windows packages are available from KO GmbH. For download of Windows binaries, use the download page.

Putting unexpected visions of space tourists aside, now for something completely different. This was a busy weekend with Calligra Suite Sprint 2013 which despite of different timezone fully dominated Essen and Bangalore. More about that here, here, here, here, here and here. You can find the full agenda on the KDE Community Wiki.

Lords of the ring like me were able to join at least remotely through various media. So here's a list of my limited activities.



A Mockup for Calligra Words Look & Feel Rework

The Modern GUI and Startup screen is already established in Kexi, people know it and use saving many mouse clicks. I took some time to present a follow up, mockup of how Calligra Words word processor would look. The topic was iterated before at the previous sprint.

Calligra Words before:

Calligra Words after:

You can read about the story behind the look and inspirations that can influence what I'll try to do. Obviously thanks to the Qt Quick taking over the overall GUI concepts, our users can expect the apps can be run will pleasure. Yes, it's time for the desktop.



Calligra Mail Merge

The Kexi virtual BoF turned out to be an IRC meeting between me and Smit Patel, a Calligra dev who is successfully collaborating with me already on the Bibliographic Database project for Calligra Words. It takes advantage of rather awesome desktop database capabilities that Kexi offers to other apps.

This time we covered fully fledged Mail merge for Calligra, an initiative that was planned long ago. It should be as easy as possible (no tinkering with database/data source as in LibreOffice) and visible in Words with some optional visibility in Kexi for premium integration. Like the Bibliographic Database, Mail Merge reuses certain features of Kexi so that provokes my attention. More on the Mail Merge Design wiki page.



Finally a small announcement about interesting opportunity: Karbon, Plan and Braindump apps from Calligra are looking for new Maintainers. That's rare opportunity for you!

Today I reached Thoughtworks at 11.30 AM(IST). Shantanu, Sudhendu and Golpalk were already there at office. Calligra active team started work by implementing the zoom. And it was working properly according to our expectation. We couldn’t test it on tablet. But resizing the window was enough for us to test zooming. We had pushed our changes to active-calligratouch-shantanu branch. Initially we had a confusion on where to add the QML changes whether to libs or somewhere else. Thanks to Arjen Hiemstra and IngeInge Wallin who helped us in deciding to move to qtquick. We had moved our text document code to qtquick folder in calligra. After the changes were made, the build went fine. But there were issues with QML which needs to be fixed. We took our group photo, which is uploaded here. Overall, it was good experience for us to share ideas and try to work with core team. Personally I thank every one who had helped me or shared information which is required for Calligra Active. We also had dinner together. For dinner we missed Gopalk and Mani. After the sprint TODO’s have increased :)  That’s brief update I have.

Greetings from Essen! The 2nd day of Calligra sprint in Essen started with discussion about redesigning UI in Calligra so that the applications can be delivered easily on more platforms. The first candidate for UI code refactoring is going to be Krita. There is already Krita Sketch application which provides QML based user interface besides the standard QWidget one. Rest of the Calligra suite should follow the refactorings too.

Maintainers are needed! Karbon, Plan and Braindump are without maintainers. Previous maintainers are busy with real life.

Afternoon was full of commits and coding. I made code review for Krita Sketch merge to master and then Boud, Krita maintainer, started to fix the problems I found. Sven is working on actions and operations, so that users can produce macros. And he did some refactoring, so now you can write less code to produce extensions with actions. Dmitry was trying to compile Windows version of Krita, but that failed. He helped me also to implement offset operation for layers and image, especially part related to processing framework in Krita — if you have image with 8 layers and your computer has 4 cores, every core will process one layer, so you get the filtering results quickly! Dmitry also fixed some crash in transform tool. Arjen worked on modern OpenGL canvas for Krita.

Friedrich was fixing build system in Calligra, he introduced so-called Productsets, so now you can easily specify that you want to compile Calligra for Plasma Active with only useful parts and avoid compilation of the parts that are useful only for desktop version.

Yue is fixing some text layout bug. Matus Uzak fixed some problems in filters and worked on docx export filter. Inge started to lay foundations for export filter for docx. He has experience with epub that is constructed from odf and also experience with export of odf to html. Thorsten fixed bug with styles in filters related to footers and headers, that were not saved correctly. He also reported some bug for me, what reminded me of my time when I was working on Calligra for Nokia and I investigated shortly some bug in MS Office filter.

Today I was riding a small electric car provided by Linux hotel. It is called Renault Twizy. I was picking up pizzas for lunch. It was funny to ride in Essen-Horst, I enjoyed it a lot. The car does not have windows (now I see the pun from linuxhotel), it is quite small and elegant for city travelling! The speed change is so smooth in this electric car. Then we had nice dinner in a restaurant — some had tasty Schnitzels and some tasty vegetarian food.

Today I reached Thoughtworks office at 11.10 AM(IST). I saw a tall guy walking around the security area of Thoughtworks. Yes, it’s our Gopalkrishna Bhat(gopalK). We had met and talked to each other over IRC. We waited for Shantanu to arrive. While we were having conversation, Shantanu gives a call and said will be in office within 5 mins. And we all got into the office. Yesterday evening Shantanu and me were discussing about the future of Calligra Active. Hence today we decided to discuss with our team at Essen( Linux hotel). Today Boudewijn Rempt gave a presentation which was followed up by Friedrich’s presentation on Kasten framework. After that Calligra Active team came up with discussion about future of Calligra Active. The discussion went so interesting. And came up with good approach. Why couldn’t we have a QML for calligra? So that a user can write his own QML and use Calligra’s active, stage, sheets etc. Shantanu and me were discussing that we can scale down calligra to even run with Sailfish!!! To be honest we loved the idea :) Special thanks to Inge Wallin, Arjen Hiemstra and Friedrich for participating in the discussion and sharing the idea of Calligra’s QML. After the discussion shantanu started the idea of pairing and working. Shantanu, Me and Mani started working on this idea. And by the end of the day we got a premature text document getting displayed. We were able to edit it. Till now things are fine. Tomorrow we have a plan to focus on the zoom of canvas in text document. That should consume more time. Overall working will be done in a separate branch in calligra( not in the master). I had taken few snaps uploaded here. That’s it for the day.

Here is a small update. We made changes in how Calligra can be used with QML. Right below is the screenshot before editing.

Calligra sprint 2013 is taking place in Essen, Germany. We are occupying Linuxhotel, which happens to be a very nice Linux hotel. The rooms are nice, the meeting hall is nice. Cool place with Linux mascot everywhere. I like the equipment of the hotel. Coffee machine, kitchen ready to be used, rooms with computers, even an acoustic guitar.

The first day started with a lot of discussions. Some are personal, some are technical.Sven, Dmitry and I were discussing recording, macros and actions in Krita. Inge and Matus were discussing docx export filter. Hopefully it will happen! :)

Arijen and Thorsten cooked really great dinner for us. Pasta with tasty sauces, one was vegetarian and tasted great even for me, non-vegetarian person. The other one was with meat. Nobody stayed hungry. Mek, Sheets Tables maintainer, happens to work for Google now and he brought Google Chromebook Pixel.I can confirm that the display is really amazing on this device. Boud shared some positive impressions from Mobile World Congress about demoing Krita.

Few remarkable quotes of the day:

“Krita is actually useful product, that people can use.”

“You are married…You are Lord of the Rings now.”
“Yeah, the ring makes me invisible in the commit log.”

SILVERCODERS DocToText is a powerful utility which can convert documents in many formats to plain text. It includes a console application and C/C++ library, which allows embedding text extraction mechanisms into other applications. It supports MS Office binary formats (MS Word (DOC), MS Excel (XLS), MS PowerPoint (PPT), and Rich Text Format (RTF)), OpenDocument formats (text documents (ODT), spreadsheets (ODS), and presentations (ODP)), Office Open XML formats (MS Word (DOCX), MS Excel (XLSX), and MS PowerPoint (PPTX)), and HyperText Markup Language (HTML). DocToText can extract text not only from the document body but also from annotations (comments) embedded in odt, doc, docx, or rtf files and read metadata like author, last modification date, or number of pages. It can be used as a fast console viewer, and is able to convert corrupted OpenDocument and Office Open XML documents. It can be used to recover text even if other recovery methods failed.

Release Notes: HyperText Markup Language (HTML) format support was introduced in this version. The ability to retrieve metadata like document author, last modification date, or number of pages was added. The new important feature is extracting text from annotations (comments) embedded in odt, doc, docx, or rtf files. Some malfunctions were also fixed.

The Calligra contributor community finally is meeting again for a sprint weekend, both virtually and in real life: There are 6 people at the ThoughtWorks Bangalore office in India, sitting and hacking on stuff already since the morning. And 11 people are gathering at the Linuxhotel in Europe until the evening, to follow and join them the next two days. Other people are popping up in the random Google Hangout sessions, and of course in the IRC channel #calligra.

Today was arrival day, so more or less dynamically structured. Still the Krita people had already their BoF, as most of them arrived early. Tomorrow then there will be great discussion day, topics will be e.g. a new document/view-architecture and improving QML-support.

calligra-logo-200

With doing a few more 2.x releases in the futures, Calligra is slowly approaching the 3.0 version, as a milestone where the individual programs not only are useful as serious viewers, with e.g. excellent import filters for MS formats, but finally also as reliable, easy to use and well integrated editors (which most still need to become).

Krita, as the current flagship, is already making waves in the world of movie and GFX studios, also Intel having used a special version (Krita Sketch) at their CES booth!
Author is going to find a so far unclaimed niche, while Kexi is getting closer to occupy its targetted one. Words, Stage, Sheets are offering alternative UX to what AOO | LO | MS have. Plan quietly evolves into a serious project planner. And more.
While these are all exciting developments, there are also new challenges in the future: KF5 & Qt5 & QML2 & Plasma Active.
Also some old challenges are still around: while now only more Kexi has Qt3Support dependencies, the started big refactoring of the central Calligra libraries waits to be finished.

There are lots of reasons to keep on pushing Calligra programs and libraries: built on Qt/kdelibs and with a quite modular architecture, it’s quite easy to adapt to new platforms out there, which e.g. can be seen with Calligra Active or the plugins for Okular, which have been done with only little effort in comparison. And Qt5 brings even more hope and options.

This sprint would not be possible without the supporters of KDE e.V., thanks to them to make it financially possible for us to meet up to develop plans for the future roadmaps. So if you, dear reader, want to do your little contribution to the future of KDE software as well, consider to Join The Game as a supporter of the KDE e.V. !

Thanks also to KO GmbH for supporting the sprint, to ThoughtWorks Bangalore for hosting the Indian part of the sprint and for the Linuxhotel for the community-friendly offering in their great setting for the European part. And thanks to Claudia, the KDE e.V.s business manager, for her quick and uncomplicated handling of any issues.

Next here in Linuxhotel: Pasta self-cooking for dinner (that’s why there are pasta sauce recipes on the sprint planning page ;) ). Oh, got ready while writing this post, actually next is Pasta self-eating :)

Calligra sprint 2013 started today. The venue was Thoughtworks office Bangalore. I reached Thoughtworks around 10.45 AM. Shantanu had already booked a room at Thoughtworks for the sprint. There were 5 new faces for me in sprint. 4 were from DA-IICT College and Mani. We talked to each other for a while. Shantanu showed demo of calligra active. Fixed couple of bugs in active( more detail about them will follow in the next blog post). There was a major issue in sheets(when calligra active loads sheets) which we couldn’t resolve. Around 7.30 PM(IST),  team in Europe arrived at Linux hotel. The first session was Krita BoF. And we did with help of google hangout. It was nice to see most of them. By 9 PM we had to move out of Thoughtworks. That was the time limit given to us. I had uploaded snaps of today here.

FontForge can now allow multiple people to collaborate on designing a font in real time. This is all still rather alpha level code, and in fact the pull request including this code was only pushed over the fence in the last hour ;) If real time collaboration sounds interesting to you, or something in this post seems of interest, then you might like to attend an upcoming Interactivos Workshop which is right after the Libre Graphics Meeting in Madrid (10-27 April).

At interactivos I will be expanding on the current collab code and discussing future directions and possible cross tool network specifications to allow different font tools to talk to each other. Even if you are not convinced that you want anyone else joining your collab session, you might like something like a Web sink watching your work and updating a page on your tablet as you modify the font so you can see in near real time if changes are going to work well on a target device and design or not. Why burden your workflow having to have your local fontforge export to an OTF and slow you down when a server can do all that for you in the background. There is no reason that the processes in the collab session can't all be running on your behalf.


If you are running osx then I have a binary drop for you which bundles all the needed stuff for collab at:
http://fuuko.libferris.com/osx/packages/201303/05_1630/


To start a server select the menu item Collaborate/Start Session... a dialog will show you the IP address the server will run on so you can start fontforge on another computer (+other OS) and connect to that address using Collaborate/Connect to Session...

Things are in very early days and focus has been only on the glyph view. It seems that there is some fluff holding the undo system from working on the metrics view (thus on kerning etc).

The design uses FontForge's undo/redo system to know what the changes are in the font, and since those changes can be serialized to an SFD format that code is reused to send and receive the undo information across a zeromq broadcast server.

The design is inline with the MCT (Merge Enabled Change Tracking) for ODF that is up on the OASIS lists. In FontForge's case, s baseline full SFD snapshot and sequential fragments thereafter describing updates.

If you are compiling from sources then you'll need czmq and zeromq version3 development stuff installed. Then grab master from github and enjoy.

Hello KDE people, long time no blog..

I used to write on a blog of a friend who basically stopped hacking and contributing for some personnal reasons, so he closed its server! I didn’t blog anymore, but I’m back.

After a break in hacking for more community contributions (help in events, manage some meetings, that kind of things..), but I’m back on hacking. I’m still working on Calligra, we are on UI design things, especially on stage. I have not a lot of free time to contribute, but I try my best to make things come real!

Well, I’ll blog soon to show you how does the stage UI has changed, both in visibility and usability, so stay tuned.

The Calligra team has released version 2.6.1, the first bugfix release of the Calligra Suite,  and Calligra Active. This release contains a number of important bug fixes to 2.6.0 and we recommend everybody to update.

Bugfixes in This Release

Here is an overview of the most important fixes that are in 2.6.1. There are several others that are not mentioned here. Since this release is very close to the big release of 2.6.0 the development team has concentrated on crash bugs and other serious bugs potentially leading to data loss.

General:

  • Fixes for several different crashes. See for instance bugs 314676, 314747
  • Several new or improved icons for different applications.
  • General look and feel on Windows improved by hardcoding the theme.

Filters:

  • A new filter for the MOBI ebook format was released with 2.6.1. This filter was scheduled for 2.6.0 but was withheld because of some bugs that were discovered late in the release cycle.
  • Much improvement in exporting tables in the HTML export filter.
  • Fix options in the CSV export dialog (bug 314766)

Try It Out

  • The source code is available for download: calligra-2.6.1.tar.bz2. As far as we are aware, the following distributions package Calligra 2.6. This information will be updated when we get more details. In addition, many distributions will package and ship Calligra 2.6 as part of their standard set of applications.
  • In Chakra Linux, Calligra is the default office suite so you don’t have to do anything at all to try out Calligra.  Chakra aims to be a showcase Linux for the “Elegance of the Plasma Desktop” and other KDE software.
  • Users of Ubuntu and Kubuntu are urged to try the daily snapshots prepared by Project Neon. Paste the following in a terminal window and you’ll find Calligra installed in /opt: 
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neon/ppa \
&& sudo apt-get update\
&& sudo apt-get install project-neon-base \
   project-neon-calligra \
   project-neon-calligra-dbg

    You can run these packages by adding /opt/project-neon/bin to your PATH.

  • Arch Linux provides Calligra packages in the [kde-unstable] repository.
  • Fedora packages are available in the rawhide development repository (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Rawhide), and unofficial builds are available for prior releases from kde-unstable repository at http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ .
  • There are OpenSUSE Calligra packages in the unstable playground repository.
  • Calligra FreeBSD ports are available in Area51.
  • MS Windows packages will be available from KO GmbH. For download of Windows binaries, use the download page.
  • Mac OS X: We would welcome volunteers who want to build and publish packages for the Calligra Suite on OS X. There are some first attempts

2013-02-09T15:30:15Z 85.197.6.158 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=OpenDocument&feed=atom&action=history Revision history for this page on the wiki OpenDocument - Revision history 2013-04-23T22:05:48Z http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=OpenDocument&diff=537392869&oldid=prev http://www.calligra.org/?p=3800 Sound in QML for BlackBerry 10

I have been working on a side project of mine called GiraffPanic – a logic game for mobile phones. It was originally developed with QML and C++ for Meego platform (N9) and then, quickly ported over to Symbian with Anna or above. If you got one of those devices and want to try the game you can get it here.
A friend pointed out that the new BlackBerry 10 device was coming out soon and the game could be easily ported over as well as BB10 supports Qt 4.8. Almost everything worked out of the box when I tried to run the game in the BB10 emulator for the first time.
The only thing not working was sound. I looked around and found out that sound was a in fact only available starting from Qt 5.0 :-( . So I set off to implement a sound support library for use in QML. At first I looked at the different sound systems BlackBerry 10 offers natively (it supports quite a lot as can be seen here: http://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/bb10/multimedia.html). First I tried to use the Multimedia renderer library, however after trying some examples I found out that the simulator did not support this library, so testing was not possible. I then looked at libasound and SDL, but neither of those has a nice API in my opinion.
I eventually ended up settling for OpenAL library which is a 3-D space audio library. The interface seemed sensible and as far as I understood it is also used in Qt 5.0 on BlackBerry. Getting it to work was quite simple. Unfortunately OpenAL does not provide any callbacks to check when the playback of a sample is finished. As GiraffPanic uses signals to trigger different sounds from QML interface, a different solution was needed.
To work around this issue I used a timer to check if the playback is finished so I can send a notification back to QML. To reduce CPU usage the timer is only active when needed – that means only if a sound is played then the timer is active. One other thing not supported out of the box is looping of a sound sample for a set number of times. This I solved by setting up a buffer queue and adding the same sound into the queue multiple times.

The library interface is the same as the one from qtgameenabler which we use on Symbian and Meego, which was done for backwards compatibility reasons.

To use the library add the source to your project and put the following lines into your project file:

qnx {
  include(qtblackberryaudio/qtblackberryaudio.pri)
}

To make the library known to qml put the following lines into main.cpp (or any other sensible place):

qmlRegisterType<DeclarativeBBAudioMixer>("Audio", 1, 0, "AudioMixer");
qmlRegisterType<DeclarativeBBAudioBuffer>("Audio", 1, 0, "AudioBuffer");

in QML you can call the library as follows:
(this will init the audio mixer and load up the sample sounds)

import Audio 1.0

AudioMixer {
  id: mixer
  enabled: true
  AudioBuffer {
    id: sound1
    volume: 0.4
    source: basePath + "/audio/sound1.wav"
    loopCount: -1 // infinite looping
  }

  AudioBuffer {
    id: sound2
    volume: 0.8
    source: basePath + "/audio/sound2.wav"
    loopCount: 2
    onPlaybackStopped: {
      console.log("sound2 playback stopped");
    }
  }
}

And to play a sound use:

function soundHandling() {
  sound1.play();
  sound2.play();
  if (sound2.playing()) {
    sound2.pause();         // pause sound2
  }
  sound1.stop();            // stop sound1
  sound2.pause();           // unpause sound2
}

In the example above you can see me basePath variable. This variable is set in:

context->setContextProperty("basePath", "file:/" + 
                            QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath().remove("/bin"));

This allows to handle different platforms and set the path as it should be on each platform.

In case you find this helpful you can find the library git repository at: https://www.gitorious.org/qtaudio/qtblackberryaudio and clone the git repository.

If you have comments or feedback send a mail to t (dot) zachmann (at) zagge (dot) de

And finally, in case you already have a BB10 you can get the game from here:

Hi,
This week the Calligra suite released version 2.6, including latest stable Krita.

Lots of cool stuff (though more cool features are already in master branch, waiting for 2.7… ).
The official announcement is here on Krita.org, including a nice presentation booklet.

new Krita icon
This release introduce the new icon I’ve made, based on the Krita Sketch icon with different colors.
I also started to redesign the other application icons from Calligra suite, starting with Sheets, Stage and Words. The rest of the suite should have new icons too for next update release.

Here is an illustration made with latest master version. The original is at big resolution (4816×7016 = A4 600DPI), so I’ve added a zoom-in part at only half resolution to get a better idea of it.

The Calligra team is proud and pleased to announce the release of version 2.6 of the Calligra Suite, Calligra Active and the Calligra Office Engine. This version is the result of thousands of commits which provide new features, polishing of the user interaction and bug fixes.

As usual, Calligra is developing very fast and there are a lot of new features to be announced. This is also the second feature update after the initial release of Calligra in April last year which means that we are approaching some form of maturity. The team has used a significant part of the development time to polish away usability problems and visual glitches.

News in This Release

Here are the most important new or improved features in Calligra 2.6.

  1. New Application: Calligra Author
  2. Productivity Applications
  3. Artistic Applications
  4. Supported Document Formats
  5. Common Improvements
  6. Other Than the Desktop
  7. Try It Out

New Application: Calligra Author

Calligra AuthorCalligra Author is a new member of the growing Calligra application family. The application was announced just after the release of Calligra 2.5 with the following description:

The application will support a writer in the process of creating an eBook from concept to publication. We have two user categories in particular in mind:

  • Novelists who produce long texts with complicated plots involving many characters and scenes but with limited formatting.
  • Textbook authors who want to take advantage of the added possibilities in eBooks compared to paper-based textbooks.

The first version of Calligra Author is very similar to Calligra Words since the new features of Author are also adopted by Words. Future releases shall deviate more.

Features that were developed especially for Author include export to eBook formats EPUB2 and MOBI (the latter will come a bit delayed, in 2.6.1), and improved text statistics (word count, character count, etc).

Productivity Applications

For the productivity part of the suite (word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation program) the target user of version 2.6 is still the student or academic user. This version has a number of new features that will make it more suitable for these users.

Words, the word processing application improved layout and numerous minor fixes in dialogs and tools, e.g. the spell checking. This should make Words more pleasant to use for the normal user. Words also enjoys the same features as Author: improved text statistics and export to eBook formats.

Sheets, the spreadsheet application, has a new function optimizer – also known as a Solver. All standard scripts are available for translation.

Stage, the presentation program, has a new animation framework that lets the user create and manipulate animations in slide shows.

Flow, the diagram application, has improved connections.

Plan, the project management application, has updated scheduling information, improved scheduling granularity, improved performance charts, improved project creation, improved usability in the report generator and many bug fixes.

Kexi, the visual database creator, has new support for user data storage, improved CSV import and export and improved table views. Overwriting objects with the same name is now possible. Detailed lists of changes for Kexi are available here.

Artistic Applications

The artistic applications of the Calligra Suite are the most mature ones and are already used by professional users everywhere.

Krita, the drawing application, has new support for OpenColorIO, which makes it suitable for use in the movie industry. It also has big speedups in many places, including the vc library and when painting using the new precision slider in the preset editor.

There is also improvements in painting HDR images and integration into a GFX workflow as well as support for the latest OpenRaster standard and many bug fixes.

A full description of Krita is available as a PDF booklet. More screenshots can also be downloaded.

Supported Document Formats

Calligra 2.6 can now export documents to EPUB2 format. In 2.6.1 it will also be able to export to MOBI format.

And of course support for all MS Office formats has been improved even more, especially for the MS Open XML formats of MS Office 2007 and above.

Common Improvements

The architecture of the Calligra Suite lets the applications share much of the functionality of the suite with each other. Many common parts have seen improvements since the release of 2.5. Here are a few of them.

Calligra will now load and save 3D shapes and annotations. This means better interoperability with other office applications even if Calligra can not show them at this time.

Charts have a number of improvements for fine tuning the formatting. Examples include fonts for titles and labels and markers for data sets.

Mathematical formulas have an improved rendering.

Other Than the Desktop

Calligra Active, the version for tablets and smartphones, has several improvements: there is a new slide chooser for presentations, slides can be changed by flicking the device, page switching improvements for text documents and improved start up sequences including a new splash screen.

There is also a  new preview for text documents, a new text search feature for all 3 document formats, support for translations, a simplified UI and some bug fixes. And, naturally, Calligra Active also benefits from all the improvements in the common parts of Calligra: the libraries and plugins.

Try It Out

  • The source code is available for download: calligra-2.6.0.tar.bz2. As far as we are aware, the following distributions package Calligra 2.6. This information will be updated when we get more details. In addition, many distributions will package and ship Calligra 2.6 as part of their standard set of applications.
  • Users of Ubuntu and Kubuntu are urged to try the daily snapshots prepared by Project Neon. Paste the following in a terminal window and you’ll find Calligra installed in /opt: 
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neon/ppa \

Today, the Krita team together with the Calligra team announces the release of Krita 2.6. Krita 2.6 is a new step in Krita's development!

Not only are there hundreds of bug fixes and performance improvements all over the place, Krita 2.6 now incorporates support for the OpenColorIO colormanagement system which is a standard in the movie and VFX studio. This makes Krita a natural choice for 2D painting work in the movie and vfx pipeline. (Note: like OpenGL support, the Lut docker with OpenColorIO integration is only available on Linux.)

Another big improvement is in PSD support: Krita can now not only read, but also write Photoshop files!

For Krita 2.6, the splash screen was created by Enrico Guarnieri:
