I'm reading FUD, from the usual misinformed suspects, saying that the "IBM donation to AOO is pure marketing fluff" and "IBM faked the donation of the Symphony code" and "IBM did not donate anything". I can certainly sympathize with leaders of communities that can only be held together by irrational fears. It is not easy to maintain that peak level of paranoia.
You may count me old-fashioned, but I have a bit of nostalgia for the old days where we simply told the truth. Anyone who cares to look can see that we've actually integrated quite a but of Symphony code into the AOO trunk already. For example, the following 167 bug fixes, from Symphony, are fixed in the trunk. This is in addition to the larger pieces that will be merged in branches first. There are many more fixes where those came from, and anyone is welcome to help merge or test them.
