Apache@ OSCON 2015 - Booth Goodies
OSCON 2015 is near upon us. I am offering to do booth duty again this year. I had a great time and am happy to do it again. I have one request. Can we have bigger Apache OpenOffice buttons?

include/sot/exchange.hxx:
struct DataFlavorEx : public ::com::sun::star::datatransfer::DataFlavor
this has a "SotClipboardFormatId mnSotId" and a "string MimeType" - how
does the system specifc clipboard data get translated to that...

include/sot/formats.hxx: enum class SotClipboardFormatId
there is no MathML in there, but various STARMATH_* ones.
// the point at which we start allocating "runtime" format IDs
USER_END = STARWRITERGLOB_8_TEMPLATE
so what you probably have as ID is "user-defined", which means we can't
do anything with it really.
it looks like there needs to be some mapping from the OS-specific
clipboard to these office-internal IDs - if there's no ID for MathML it
can't be mapped.
there is a big array in sot/source/base/exchange.cxx, you probably need
to add an entry for MathML there.
the array is ordered and indexed by the SotClipboardFormatId.
/* 48 SotClipboardFormatId::STARMATH_50*/{
"application/x-openoffice-starmath-50;windows_formatname=\"StarMath
5.0\"", "StarMath 5.0", &cppu::UnoType>::get() },
that's the mime-type and human-readable name.
i was wondering how this would work on Windows, given that the Win32
clipboard presumably does not use mime-types; apparently the
";windows_formatname=\"...\"" appendix to the mime-type here covers that.

how do you prepare the SfxMedium? i'm not sure if it requires an actual
file, or if it can read from an input stream (XInputStream); it probably
can't read from a Sequence buffer directly...
there is a SfxMedium::setStreamToLoadFrom() which looks promising.
you can create an input stream from the buffer via SvMemoryStream and
then wrap that in utl::OInputStreamWrapper.

Re: Sourceforge
(I did not see any reason this discussion should go private, so I moved it to public.) As far as I read, the GIMP team had never opt-in distributing adwares/malwares. They did agree to share SF.net's ad profit, but not bundling adwares/malwares with their installers. And SF.net did hijacked GIMP for Windows without authors' consent. Goodbye, SourceForge. https://helb.github.io/goodbye-sourceforge/ Anatomy of SourceForge/GIMP controversy (from GIMP team) http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/anatomy-of-sourceforge-gimp-controversy What happened to Sourceforge? (from VLC developer) https://blog.l0cal.com/2015/06/02/what-happened-to-sourceforge/ I looked into which projects SF.net hijacked, and surprisingly found Apache HTTPD, Apache Derby, Apache Directory Studio, Firefox, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Nmap, The R-project.

Apache OpenOffice? When will there be a new malware/adware-enabled Apache OpenOfffice installer? I suppose we should move from SF.net to a trustworthy mirror solution.

RE: interesting white paper from MS shared on the dev-de list

Microsoft is loosing money and they want to find a way to get their former customers back. An interesting comment included in this "white" paper is the following one: Microsoft Office 2010 boosts Indian IT firm's productivity by 30 percent. I just wonder how the prodictivity of an IT company is increased by using a word processor or a lousy database? A.S. -- Apostolos Syropoulos Xanthi, Greece
