We have released beta version of Common Desktop Infrastructure
under LGPL version3 license.
http://www.smg.co.jp/opensource/CommonDesktopInfrastructure/

The programs are second version which presented as
"Next-generation OSS Desktop Base Development Project" in DAM4.
https://www.linux-foundation.org/images/8/8c/Dam4_oss_desktop_base.pdf


The programs provide the functions which convert protocol of QtDBUS, UNO,
and SOAP. So, you can call Qt program from UNO program vice versa.
And, you can also call SOAP service from Qt or UNO program.

The code generators which generate protocol conversion codes from IDL
are included. So, you can use Common Desktop Infrastructure by only
writing IDL.

In short, you can seamlessly connect KDE4/Qt4, OpenOffice/UNO, and SOAP.


We are going to enable cooperation of KDE4 and OpenOffice by using the
script
language (probably JavaScript) in this year.


The architecture of Common Desktop Infrastructure is written in
http://www.smg.co.jp/opensource/CommonDesktopInfrastructure/products/Archite
cture%20Design%20Document.pdf


You can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser
General Public License version 3 as published by the Free Software
Foundation.


We want Portland project to include this infrastructure in the future
version
of DAPI.

We want to also discuss about the specification of KDE/Qt, OpenOffice,
and D-BUS, in order to realize perfect mutual conversion of the protocols.

We are waiting for any questions, any opinions, and any proposals.
