There are users who will find the political drama compelling. There is nothing to be done about that. It does not make the product better and it distracts those who want to find ways to serve the broad community no matter what code base is being worked on. The asymmetrical situation around

Wrongful information on the Wikipedia

Hi there, the Engish Wikipedia claims that AOO is dormant. I can't see where they have the information from. The sources they use don't say so. I think it's definitely bad for OpenOffice when people think no more is done about it. The problem is also that LibreOffice has just published its

Re: Wrongful information on the Wikipedia

I just looked at the Wikipedia page and don't see anything that's - strictly speaking - incorrect, or lacking citations. IOW, I don't see any supportable rationale for removing anything that's there, although one could question the motives of whoever made it a point to call out some concerns

Ian Lynch (ingotian) passed away

I was astonished to learn, a couple days ago, that Ian Lynch passed away. Many of you were probably closer to him and already got the news (Ian passed away three months ago) but I don't recall reading it on the OpenOffice lists. I had never met Ian, but I knew him as a key contributor in the

Feel a bit bad since I knew about this news for the past few weeks. I didnt want to be the one disclosing the news to the rest of the community since other members also knew about this event and probably would be better prepared to announce it. I remember working with Ian personally and sometimes

A little more on the importance of OpenOffice in the context of use in civil administration. An example of advocacy-organization promotion of ODF-based documents and the primary implementations are presented can be found in the report linked at
