Bringing Open Source Best Practices into Corporations Using a Software Forge
,----[ Quote ]
| A software forge is a tools platform for collaborative software development,
| similar to integrated CASE environments. Unlike CASE tools, however, software
| forges have been designed for the software development practices of the open
| source community. In this paper, we discuss our experiences with using a
| software forge to bring open source best practices into corporations. We
| present the design principles and benefits of a firm-internal software forge,
| and we present a case study of how one project inside SAP benefited
| significantly from being on the forge.

OpenOffice.org / ODF Support in SAP Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Due to my past involvement in OpenOffice.org and ODF, I was curious to find
| out if and where the SAP products already support the ISO standard
| OpenDocument Format. I was happily surprised when I found out that ODF is
| already supported by the SAP List Viewer component (also known as the ABAP
| List Viewer or ALV), which is used many many times in all kinds of areas for
| displaying tabular data in a grid. The SAP List Viewer component allows
| exporting to ODF spreadsheet files in addition to Microsoft Excel files. This
| feature is available on systems with release numbers 6.40 and higher and
| works for all 3 members of the SAP GUI family including the SAP GUI for Java.
