Brussels, Belgium
ODA stands for Open Design Alliance - the creators of Teigha .DWG libraries.
Arnold Van der Weide, of ODA spoke about ODA and its activities. He touched upon the relationship ODA shares with Bricsys, important milestones achieved, testing procedures implemeted and used by ODA.
Arnold's talk was informative and educative. Not many would have known much about ODA and how it impacts Bricscad and vice-versa. ODA libraries are an important underlying component of any .DWG compatible software like Bricscad. It is the code that allows a DWG file to be opened when you start Bricscad and saved before you exit Bricscad.
Arnold also highlighted the various OS'es which Teigh would run on. An Android version is expected by the end of this year. PDF reading capabilities are also available.
He also showed a couple of slides detailing some of the plans for the future (like multi-core support, cloud etc).
Some slides from the presentation:
What ODA and Bricsys have done together has resulted in a mutually win-win situation to create a powerful Teigha library that is today multi-platform and OS-independent. During the coffee break, I had the opportunity to meet Arnold in person and learn more about ODA and their activities.
Arnold Van der Weide, President, ODA with yours truly.
