Welcome to the readers of this new GullFOSS blog.
My name is Dieter Loeschky. I'm running the OpenOffice.org development teams at Sun.
I would like to give an regular weekly update on what is hot in our development teams to make our work more transparent to the whole OpenOffice.org community.
IN FOCUS
UNO (Universal Network Objects) is the interface-based component model of OpenOffice.org. UNO offers interoperability between different programming languages, different object models, different machine architectures and different processes; either in a local network or even via the Internet. UNO components can be implemented in and accessed from any programming language for which a UNO language binding exists.
