+ <h1>Extensions and Templates: From production to end-users</h1>
+ <p>
+ Apache OpenOffice offers a complete framework allowing it to be enriched.
+ OpenOffice allows for both "extensions" and "templates".
+ An extension is a third party tool that brings OpenOffice new functions.
+ This can be done through addons, addins, deployed by UNO packages.
+ Templates are document setups designed for specific uses.
+ <br/>
+ <br/>
+ The native-lang projects are welcomed helping translating all of these
resources.
+ The OpenOffice wiki can be used to provide translation of all the
materials
+ found here and now contains the majority of information.

+<h1>Java & Apache OpenOffice, OpenOffice.org</h1>
+
+<h3>Why Do I Need Java to Use Apache OpenOffice?</h3>
+
+<p>Java is required for complete OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org) functionality.
Java is mainly required for the HSQLDB
+database engine (used by our database product Base) and to make use of
accessibility and assistive technologies.
+Furthermore some wizards rely on Java technology. See additional topics
pertaining to the use of Java in OpenOffice.org
+and Apache OpenOffice in the
+<a
href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Installation";>Installation
FAQ</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>So what does this mean exactly? Base (the database component) relies
completely on Java technologies to run, but other
+programs (like Writer, Calc and Impress) only need Java for special
functionality. If you do not need to use Base and do
+not want to use any of the Wizards, then you do not need to have Java
installed and configured for running Apache
+OpenOffice (and older versions of OpenOffice.org). You can completely prevent
OpenOffice from prompting you about the use
+of Java by telling OpenOffice not to use a Java runtime environment (JRE).
From the OpenOffice main menu use:
+<strong>"Tools - OpenOffice.org - Java"</strong>, and uncheck "Use a Java
runtime environment". However, we do recommend
+that you have a JRE on your system to take full advantage of OpenOffice's
features without any issues.
+</p>
+
+<p><b>Legacy versions of OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 and older included a JRE
packaged with the download. Apache OpenOffice
+3.4.0 and newer do not.</b>
+</p>
+
+<h3>Which Java Version Do I Need to Use Apache OpenOffice?</h3>
+
+<p>You will need to have a JRE version (32-bit or 64-bit) that is compatible
with the architecture of the Apache
+OpenOffice version you downloaded. If you already have a JRE installed on your
system that satisfies this requirement in
+one of the standard areas for Java installation, OpenOffice should detect this
installation and let you choose it for use
+in OpenOffice via the <strong>"Tools - OpenOffice.org - Java"</strong>. If you
have a JRE installed that is not detected,
+you should be able to add it through this same menu. And, you can install a
JRE or configure OpenOffice to use Java at any
+time to get missing functionality to work.
+</p>
+
+<!-- NOTE: The <img> in the paragraph below depends on the icon being in
+ the site root level content/cachedimages folder. This works regardless
+ of the relative distance of this page, or a localization, from the root.

+<p style="background: #FBD34E; padding: 0px 15px 0px 15px;">
+<img src="/cachedimages/exclamation-icon.png" style="margin: 5px 5px -2px
0px;" height="32" width="32" />
+<b>Important note for all Windows users:</b>
+</br>
+The Windows version of OpenOffice is 32-bit. It installs and operates on both
32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows. However, a 32-bit Java
Runtime Environment is required for any use of a JRE by 32-bit applications
such as Apache OpenOffice. The 32-bit JRE must be in addition to any 64-bit
JRE that is also installed.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Where Can I Get Java?</h3>
+<p>The current versions of Apache OpenOffice work reliably with a variety of
JREs including
+<a href="http://java.com";>Oracle Java, versions 6 and 7</a> and <a
href="http://openjdk.java.net/";>openJDK, versions 6 and
+7</a>. Feel free to download a JRE from either of these sites if you feel you
need this functionality.
+</p>
+
+<p>Please report any problems you experience with using Java on OpenOffice
through our bug reporting system,
+<a href="https://issues.apache.org/ooo/";>Bugzilla</a>, or one of the other
support venues listed in the
+<a href="http://www.openoffice.org/support/";>Apache OpenOffice Support</a>
webpage, either the users list or forums.

+## Help Needed
+
+OpenOffice is currently looking for people with the following:
+
+ - Are you a software developer with C++ skills?
+ - Do you have expertise with build systems for different platforms?
+ - Are you proficient in English?
+ - Do you like contributing to open source projects?
+
+Come and join us in helping OpenOffice to thrive. Subscribe to the
+[recruitment mailing
list](http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#recruitment-mailing-list-public)
+and introduce yourself. We'll help you get started.
+
+
+## Why get involved with the OpenOffice project?
+
+There are many motivations for why volunteers participate in an open source
project
+like OpenOffice. Some of the more common ones include:
+
+Although many want to [make a small
donation](http://www.openoffice.org/donations.html)
+to support Apache OpenOffice and the Apache Software Foundation (we appreciate
every
+contribution), some users want to do more and volunteer their time and
expertise with
+the project. There are many motivations for why volunteers participate in an
open source
+project like OpenOffice. Some of the more common ones include:
+
+ - To help reduce the "digital divide" by ensuring continued access to free
+high-quality free productivity applications world-wide.
+ - To help bring the benefits of OpenOffice to you country or region
+ - To "give back" to open source
+ - To learn or practice a new skill
+ - To enhance a résumé or portfolio, showcasing the work you've done in this
project
+ - To support a customer or other commercial venture that relies on OpenOffice
+ - To develop credentials for consulting work related to OpenOffice
+ - To bring something to OpenOffice that you've always wanted to see done
+ - To have fun, working with a close-knit international team of volunteers
working on
+one of the oldest and most famous open source projects around.
+
+
+## A multidisciplinary open source project
+
+You are not a programmer? Don't worry. Our project involves a large range of
different
+skills, levels of involvement and degrees of technical expertise. So, if you
want to get
+involved in OpenOffice, there is almost certainly a role for you.
+
+We are looking for people to:
+
+ - Work on bug reports and try to reproduce them
+ - Write or existing documentation, also with technical topics
+ - Help support new users
+ - Test the program and report problems
+ - Fix bugs
+ - Code new features
+ - Design artwork and other marketing materials
+ - Translate the UI and help topics to different languages
+ - Maintain the website and develop new materials
+ - Promote OpenOffice and help explain its benefits
+ - Anything you can see that needs doing
+
+All of these contributions help to keep a project active and strengthen the
community.
+We welcome and encourage participation, and try to make it as easy as possible
for
+people to get involved.
+
+
+## How to get started
+
+OpenOffice is a large, complex open source project, with a culture developed
over many
+years as an independent project, combined with our experience at Apache.
+
+If you are familiar with Apache-style open source development then you might
just jump
+in. Subscribe to the
+[recruitment mailing
list](http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#recruitment-mailing-list-public)
+and introduce yourself. We'll help you get started.
+
+If, however, you are new to Apache, or want a more methodical approach to
getting started,
+then we have a set of graduated
+[New Volunteer Orientation
Modules](http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html)
+designed for new volunteers that takes you through a number of background
topics related
+to OpenOffice and how we do things.
+
+Which path you take is up to you and is a matter of personal preference. You
can even do both.
+
+We also maintain a list of specific areas where we need volunteers on our
+[Help
Wanted](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Help+Wanted)
+page of the wiki.
+
+If you are a student, looking to contribute to the project as part of your
school work,
+please also see our [Advice for
Students](http://openoffice.apache.org/students.html)
+page.

+**Base** is a fully featured desktop database management system, designed to
+meet the needs of a broad array of users, from tracking a personal CD
collections,
+to producing a corporate monthly departmental sales reports.
+
+Base offers wizards to help users new to database design (or Base)
+to create Tables, Queries, Forms and Reports, along with a set of
+predefined table definitions for tracking Assets, Customers, Sales Orders,
+Invoices and much more.
+
+When a personal use database is all you need, Base offers the full HSQL
+relational database engine, configured for single user, with the data stored
+right in the Base file, as well as native support for dBase flat files.
+
+For power users in the enterprise, Base delivers native support drivers for
+a variety of multi-user database engines: MySQL, Adabas D, MS Access and
+PostgreSQL. In addition, support for JDBC and ODBC standard drivers allows you
+to connect to virtually any database.
+
+Base integrates seamlessly into the rest of the Apache OpenOffice suite
+applications, for example:
+
+ - Supplying address book data for mail merge in Writer using the industry
+ standard LDAP protocol, or common address book formats such as Microsoft
+ Outlook, Microsoft Windows and Mozilla;
+ - Creating linked data ranges in Calc files for data pilot analysis or as
the
+ basis for charts.
+
+For more information on working with Base, please see the
+[Apache OpenOffice Wiki Database][1] pages.

+
+*The solution to storing all your numbers and lists!*
+
+**Calc** is the spreadsheet application you've always wanted. Newcomers find it
+intuitive and easy to learn; professional data miners and number crunchers will
+appreciate the comprehensive range of advanced functions.
+
+*DataPilot* is an advanced technology that makes it easy to pull in raw data
from corporate
+databases; cross-tabulate, summarize, and convert it into meaningful
information.
+
+*Natural language formulas* let you create formulas using words (e.g. "sales -
+costs").
+
+*Intelligent Sum Button* inserts a sum function or a subtotal automatically,
+depending on context.
+
+*Wizards* guides you through choosing and using a comprehensive range of
+advanced spreadsheet functions, or [download templates][1] from our Templates
+repository for ready-made spreadsheet solutions.
+
+*Styles and Formatting* makes it easy to apply flexible cell formatting
options,
+including freely rotating contents, templates, backgrounds, borders, and many
+more. You can be your own spreadsheet expert thanks to *templates* with
built-in
+functions, allowing you to concentrate on your real work.
+
+*Scenario Manager* allows "what if ..." analysis at the touch of a button -
e.g.
+compare profitability for high / medium / low sales forecasts.
+
+Calc's *solver* component allows solving optimization problems where the
+optimum value of a particular spreadsheet cell has to be calculated based on
+constraints provided in other cells.
+
+*Multiple users support* - Encourage collaborative work on spreadsheets.
+By sharing a spreadsheet, other users can easily add their data to the
+spreadsheet. The spreadsheet owner can then easily integrate the new data with
a
+few clicks. This collaboration feature helps avoid editing conflicts.
+
+Save your spreadsheets in OpenDocument format, the new international standard
+for office documents. This XML based format means you're not tied in to
+Calc. You can access your spreadsheets from any OpenDocument compliant
+software.
+
+You are free to import your old Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, or save
+your work in Excel format for sending to people who are using Microsoft
products.
+Calc is able to read .xlsx files created with Microsoft Office 2007 or
+Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac OS X.
+
+If you want to send your results to someone who doesn't have a spreadsheet
application installed,
+then use Portable Document Format (.pdf) - no need to buy or install any extra
software.

+*Simple to create equations and formulae for your documents!*
+
+Math is Apache OpenOffice's component for mathematical equations. It is most
+commonly used as an equation editor for text documents, but it can also be used
+with other types of documents or stand-alone. When used inside Writer, the
+equation is treated as an object inside the text document. Similarly, one can
+also insert these into other Apache OpenOffice programs like [Calc][1] and
+[Impress][2].
+
+Using Math, there are three main ways of entering a formula:
+
+- Type markup in the equation editor.
+- Right-click on the equation editor and select the symbol from the context
menu.
+- Select a symbol from the *Elements* toolbox.

+ By Luc Feys Fri, 25 Sep 2009, **Earth Times**:
+
+ *No surprise here: OpenOffice is the undisputed king of open source office

+ By Adam Turner November 25, 2008, **The Sydney Morning Herald**:
+
+ *If you're spending a fortune on MS Office licenses, you should at least be
+ evaluating OpenOffice to see if it meets the needs of your basic users, if
+ not your power users. Microsoft Office still has a place in many
+ organisations, but OpenOffice 3.0 is a viable alternative for many people.*

+ Full Review by Edward Mendelson, **PC Magazine**:

+ *But for the first time, I'm ready to recommend this new version as a
viable
+ alternative to Microsoft's offering. It still has rough edges, but it has
an
+ impressive feature set, a generally lucid interface, pure open-source
+ credentials, and - in the current economic climate - the decisive advantage
+ of being absolutely free.*

+ nothing but further grief.*
+
+ - [Review: OpenOffice.org 3.0][3.0.d]
+ By Dave Bailey, 24 Oct 2008, **vnunet.com**:
+
+ *Version 3.0 of OpenOffice.org does add significant new features, and since
+ in these financially turbulent times it costs nothing to install, it could
+ reduce bottom line expenditure significantly if deployed extensively. We
+ experienced few problems with the suite that couldn't be circumvented with
+ workarounds. We think system administrators should give it a close look,
+ especially if they're rolling out thousands of minimally used copies of
+ Microsoft Office with only features like basic formatting, spell checking,
+ and word count really being needed.*
+
+ - [OpenOffice 3: Faster, uninspired interface][3.0.e]
+ Posted by Seth Rosenblatt, October 13, 2008 4:59 PM PDT, **CNET Download**:
+
+ *After using OpenOffice's MS Word analog, Writer, all day, I can confirm
+ that this update is worth it for the improvement in response and load
times,
+ if nothing else. The installation is still enormous, with an installer
about
+ 130MB for Windows users and 160MB for Mac, but the installation process
+ is smoother. From start to finish, it clocked in at around 5 minutes,
+ significantly faster than installing OpenOffice 2. People who use
OpenOffice
+ as their primary productivity suite should take advantage of the OpenOffice
+ Quickstarter, which noticeably accelerates program launch times and has
been
+ made even faster in version 3.*

+
+ *Overall, does OpenOffice.org 3.0 provide a step forward? Yes, with extra
+ features and some performance improvements at startup, although in use it
+ still feels sluggish and clunky in places. Does it justify the jump in
major
+ version number? We're not convinced, but the 2.x series has been around for
+ a while and this release does present a fresh face, and more scope for
+ extensions with the internal changes. On balance, the new OpenOffice.org
+ release is a step forward, and if they can speed it up a bit for 3.1 we'll
+ be more than happy.*

+ - [Treat yourself to a suite alternative: OpenOffice.org 3.0][3.0.g]
+ October 12, 1:30 PM by Jason Brooks, **S.F. Technology Examiner**:
+
+ *OpenOffice.org 3.0 is a great suite of office productivity applications

similar
+ to Microsoft Office in function, and very different in price. Where pricing

+ A mixed environment with power users on Office 2007 and the rest on
+ OpenOffice works well, as some of India’s biggest banks and BPO outfits
have
+ found out to their advantage.*
+
+## OOo 2 Reviews
+
+ - **PC Pro Magazine** delivers its verdict on Version 2:
+
+ *Our pick of the low-cost office suites has had a much-needed overhaul, and
+ now battles Microsoft in terms of features, not just price.*
+
+ OpenOffice.org 2 earns  in
+ [Issue 135, Jan 06][pcpro]. The magazine's reviewer concludes:
+
+ *OpenOffice certainly doesn't lack features compared to the market leader,
+ and most of its ease-of-use issues stem from people's familiarity with
+ Microsoft Office rather than an inherent problem with the program itself.
+ As such, you should certainly try OpenOffice's offering before donating
+ another UKP100 or more to Microsoft's coffers. After all, it's free.*

+~~~~~~
+Apache OpenOffice is more than a collection of six superb tools.
+
+Unlike some competitors, this suite was not created from a collection of
+separate pieces of software. From the start, it was designed as one complete
+office package.
+
+- All the packages have a similar "look and feel" making them very easy to use,
+ with common "learn once use everywhere" tools like the Styles and Formatting.
+ Apache OpenOffice takes its "look and feel" from your computer - if you
change
+ your desktop, Apache OpenOffice will change to match.
+
+- The same tools are used consistently across the suite - for example, the
tools
+ you use to work with graphics within Writer are also found in Impress and
Draw.
+
+- You don't need to know which application was used to create a particular
+ file - you can "File Open" any Apache OpenOffice file from anywhere and the
+ correct application will be launched.
+
+- All the packages share a common spell-checker, etc.; and if you change an
+ "Option" in one package, it's changed in them all.
+
+- Information can be transferred easily between all the packages.
+
+- All the components save in OpenDocument format, the new international
standard
+ for office documents. This XML based format offers substantial disk savings
+ compared to common competitors' formats. It also means you can access your
+ data from any OpenDocument compliant software.
+
+- All the packages are installed in one single operation, using the
installation
+ process you are used to on your computer.
+
+- All the packages are released under the same open licensing model - there are
+ no hidden charges now or in the future.
+
+Everything you need in an office productivity suite -
+[get it today][1]!

+## Windows Version Support
+
+The current Apache OpenOffice supports Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7
and Windows 8.
+
+Specific platform version notes:
+
+ - **Windows 2000**: OpenOffice may work on Windows 2000, but we don't test
or recommend it.
+ - **Windows XP**: Tested, stable, no platform-specific problems known.
+ - **Windows Vista**: Tested, stable, no platform-specific problems known.
+ - **Windows 7**: Tested, stable.
+ - **Windows 8**: We run as a "desktop application", not a Metro "App".
Requires x86 or 64-bit Windows.
+ We do not support Windows RT, the ARM-based version, intended for tablets.
+
+**Please note**: Apache OpenOffice is distributed as a 32-bit application. It
will run successfully in
+32-bit mode on 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8. But in those cases
a 32-bit JVM is required
+for some functionality. Details are
+[here](http://www.openoffice.org/download/common/java.html).
+
+
+## Hardware Requirements
+
+Hardware demands are quite modest and even older machines should be able to
run OpenOffice:
+
+ - **Memory**: Minimum 256 Mbytes RAM (512 MB RAM recommended).
+ - **Storage**: At least 650 Mbytes available disk space for a default
install via download. After installation and deletion of temporary installation
files, Apache OpenOffice will use approximately 440 Mbytes disk space.
+ - **Graphics**: 1024 x 768 or higher resolution with at least 256 colours.
+
+
+## Windows-specific Features
+
+Apache OpenOffice has the following special features on Windows:
+
+ - Mail client integration via Messaging Application Programming Interface
+
[(MAPI)](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange/aa142548%28v=exchg.65%29.aspx)

+
+*Letting you concentrate on writing your ideas*
+
+**Writer** has everything you would expect from a modern, fully equipped word
+processor.
+
+It is simple enough for a quick memo, yet powerful enough to create complete
books
+with contents, diagrams, indexes, etc. You're free to concentrate on your
+ideas while Writer makes them look great.
+
+*Wizards* take all the hassle out of producing standard documents such as
+letters, faxes, agendas, minutes, or carrying out more complex tasks such as
+mail merges. Of course, you are also free to create your own templates, or
+[download templates][1] from our Templates repository.
+
+*Styles and Formatting* puts the power of style sheets into the hands of every
+user.
+
+*AutoCorrect dictionary* can trap typing mistakes on the fly,
+checking your spelling as you type. Writer can handle the use of different
languages in your
+document too.
+
+*AutoComplete* reduces typing effort, it will suggest common words and
+phrases to complete what you are typing.
+
+*Text frames* and *linking* give you the power to tackle desktop publishing
+tasks for newsletters, flyers, etc. laid out exactly the way you want them to
+be.
+
+*Table of Contents & References* - Increase the usefulness of your long,
complex documents
+by generating a table of contents or indexing terms, bibliographical
references, illustrations,
+tables, and other objects.
+
+*Multi-page display* - Writer can also display multiple pages while you edit -
ideal for complex
+documents. Works well with large and multiple monitors.
+
+*Notes* - The notes feature displays notes and comments on the side of the
document. This
+makes notes a lot easier to read. In addition, notes from different users are
+displayed in different colors together with the editing date and time.
+
+*HTML, PDF, MediaWiki formats* - Make your documents freely available with
Writer's HTML export to the web,
+or export in MediaWiki format for publishing to wikis. Publish in Portable
+Document Format (.pdf) to guarantee that what you write is what your reader
+sees. The PDF export feature in Apache OpenOffice provides a huge set of
formatting
+and security options; so that PDF files can be customized for many different
+scenarios, including ISO standard PDF/A files.
+
+*.odt Standard* - Save your documents in OpenDocument format, the new
international standard for
+office documents. This XML based format means you're not tied in to Writer.
+You can access your documents from any OpenDocument compliant software.
+
+*.docx & .doc support* - Writer can of course read all your older
Microsoft Word documents, or save
+your work in Microsoft Word format for sending to people who are still using
+Microsoft products. Writer can also open .docx files created with Microsoft
Office 2007 or Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac OS X.

+## Why should I use Apache OpenOffice?
+
+
+
+Apache OpenOffice is the leading **open-source** **office software suite** for
**word processing**, **spreadsheets**, **presentations**, **graphics**,
**databases** and more. It is available in **many languages** and works on all
**common computers**. It stores all your data in an **international open
standard format** and can also read and write files from other common office
software packages. It can be downloaded and used completely **free of charge**
for **any purpose**.
+
+ - [Great software](why_great.html)
+
+ Apache OpenOffice is the result of over twenty years' software
engineering. Designed from the start as a single piece of software, it has a
consistency other products cannot match. A completely open development process
means that anyone can report bugs, request new features, or enhance the
software. The result: Apache OpenOffice does everything you want your office
software to do, the way you want it to.
+
+ - [Easy to use](why_easy.html)
+
+ Apache OpenOffice is easy to learn, and if you're already using another
office software package, you'll take to OpenOffice straight away. Our
world-wide native-language community means that OpenOffice is probably
available and supported in your own language. And if you already have files
from another office package - OpenOffice will probably read them with no
difficulty.
+
+ - [and it's free](why_free.html)
+
+ Best of all, Apache OpenOffice can be downloaded and used entirely
**free** of any license fees. Like all Apache Software Foundation software,
Apache OpenOffice is [free to use](http://www.apache.org/free/). Apache
OpenOffice is released under the [Apache 2.0
License](http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html). This means you may
use it for any purpose - domestic, commercial, educational, public
administration. You may install it on as many computers as you like. You may
make c [...]

+title=Compliance Costs and the Apache License
+notice=https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
+~~~~~~
+##Software License Compliance Costs
+
+The software industry watchdog, the Business Software Alliance, [offers cash
rewards][1] to disgruntled employees who confidentially turn in their
+employer (or ex-employer) for software piracy.
+
+They call this campaign, "Bust your Boss!" Rewards can range up to $1 million.
+
+As you probably already know, you don't own software in the same way you own a
chair or a desk. Instead, you license the software from the publisher, and
this license gives you
+permission to use the software, but only under terms specified by the license.
These terms typically say how many users or PC's may access the software. The
terms might even include
+a clause allowing the vendor to audit your usage of the software.
+
+In order to avoid the expense and penalties of a BSA audit, organizations are
increasingly adopting Software Asset Management (SAM) practices to ensure that
their use of commercial
+software complies with the applicable licenses. These practices generally
include employee education along with the purchase of software to track
licenses and software use within
+the organization.
+
+The combined cost of these SAM practices is the "cost of compliance" for using
commercial software. It is an expense that does not make your organization
more productive, does not
+benefit your customers and adds nothing to the bottom line. It is purely risk
mitigation. Along with license, maintenance and training costs, it is one of
the expenses of using
+commercial software.
+
+
+##Open Source Compliance Costs
+
+As opposed to commercial software licenses, open source software have licenses
that explicitly permit free redistribution. This reduces the cost of
compliance for many
+organizations, since tracking application usage is not needed.
+
+However, organizations that use open source software and also develop and
distribute their own proprietary software, can find themselves in trouble due
to the viral nature (copyleft)
+of some open source licenses. If one of your employees or contractors
inadvertently includes some copyleft code in your proprietary product, then you
could be required by that license
+to make the source code for your entire product freely available to the public.
+
+This is not just a theoretical concern. As aggressively as the BSA protects
the interests of its commercial members, the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC)
protects the GPL license
+in [high-profile lawsuits against large corporations][2]. The Free Software
Foundation (FSF), in their [November 2012 Bulletin][4], writes about their
expansion of
+"active license enforcement".
+
+So the cost of compliance with copyleft code can be even greater than the use
of proprietary software, since an organization risks being forced to make the
source code
+for their proprietary product public and available for anyone to use, free of
charge. To mitigate this risk requires more employee education, more approval
cycles, more internal audits
+and more worries. This is the increased cost of compliance when copyleft
software is brought into an organization. This is not necessarily a bad thing.
It is just the reality of
+using open source software under these licenses, and must be weighed in
considered as one cost-driver among many.
+
+
+##The Apache Advantage
+
+However, not all open source licenses are copyleft license. Not all of them
have that viral quality that radically increases the risk for an organization.
A subset of open source
+licenses, generally called "permissive" licenses, are much more friendly for
corporate use. These licenses include the MIT and BSD licenses, as well as the
+[Apache Software License 2.0][3] that we use for Apache OpenOffice.
+
+Like other open source licenses, the Apache License explicitly allows you to
copy and redistribute the covered product, without any license fees or
royalties. But because it is a
+permissive license, it also allows you to prepare and distribute derivative
products, without requiring you to make your own source code public. So both
BSA and SFLC/FSF risks
+are eliminated, and the cost, to your business, of license compliance is
greatly reduced.

+
+
+Easy to choose, easy to install, easy to learn - Apache OpenOffice is the easy
choice for an office software suite. OpenOffice is suitable for complete
beginners, but if you have used any other office software, that's ok too.
OpenOffice will make full use of what you already know - through familiar
screens and menus - and also what you have - by reading existing files with no
retyping.
+
+ - **Use it immediately**
+
+ For people used to other office software, Apache OpenOffice is a pleasant
surprise. It's so straightforward! Studies have proved it is easier (and
cheaper) to move to OpenOffice from Microsoft Office than it is to upgrade to
Microsoft's Office 2007. Because OpenOffice is one piece of software,
everything works consistently between applications. Even the help system is the
same. You don't even have to know which application was used to create a
document - OpenOffice will use the corre [...]

+
+ We understand that many people already have documents which they have
created using other common office software packages. Apache OpenOffice can read
these files with a very high degree of accuracy, making migration to OpenOffice
very straightforward. In fact, we have reports where OpenOffice has been able
to read files which the original software package had said were corrupted and
unusable. If your friends or colleagues use different software, you can still
swap files with them - b [...]
+
+ - **Part of a community**
+
+ When you're starting something new, it's great to know tens of millions of
people have been there before you. Apache OpenOffice is developed, translated,
supported, and promoted by an international community of tens of thousands of
enthusiasts. If you have ever waited for ages for paid-for support from a
commercial software provider, community support from enthusiastic and
knowledgeable volunteers may come as a surprise. You may even find yourself
talking to people who have developed [...]

+title=Reading ODF Documents (*.odt, *.ods, *.odp) with Apache OpenOffice
+notice=https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
+~~~~~~
+
+
+##"Windows cannot open this file"
+
+Does this look familiar?
+
+When you try to open an ODF (Open Document Format) document, but you have no
application installed that
+understands ODF, then Windows gives you the above dialog box and offers to
show you other applications that can read ODF.
+
+If this happened to you, then we can help. Apache OpenOffice is the
award-winning, free office suite that can read ODF documents, as well as
Microsoft documents.
+
+##What are ODF documents?
+
+ODF is an ISO International Standard format for office documents, created in
2006. ODF files have the following file extensions:
+
+- *.odt (word processor documents)
+- *.ods (spreadsheet documents)
+- *.odp (presentation documents)
+
+The advantage of ODF is that it is not tied to any one office application
suite. It is an open standard that any company can implement in their
software.
+OpenOffice uses ODF format as its default document format. Most other word
processors, of recent vintage, also have the ability to import and export ODF.
+
+##Apache OpenOffice
+
+Apache OpenOffice is the leading open-source office software suite for word
processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is
+published by the non-profit Apache Software Foundation. OpenOffice is
available in many languages and works on all common computers. OpenOffice can
work with
+ODF documents as well as documents from other common office software packages.
It can be downloaded and used completely free of charge for any purpose.
+
+If you want to read more about Apache OpenOffice, you can look
[here](/xx/why/).
+
+##So what do I need to do to read my ODF document?
+
+[Download Apache OpenOffice](/download) and install it on your machine. It
only takes a few minutes to download and install. Once you have it installed
you
+will be able to read and write ODF documents.

+Build your business around Apache OpenOffice. If you're in the IT business,
OpenOffice can mean good business for you. The **flexible word processor**,

+
+ Although it's the big name software companies that capture the headlines,
shipping the box is only a small part of the equation. For the majority of
users, it's other people who provide the value add: the people running training
courses, writing user guides, providing support, integrating systems, providing
niche-market add-ons... For all of these businesses, Apache OpenOffice provides
an unbeatable value proposition. No longer do you have to spend a large chunk

+
+ For developers and systems integrators, Apache OpenOffice is as open as
its name implies. Starting at the file level, it is the first software package
in the world to fully support ISO/IEC 26300 OpenDocument file format (ODF). As
more companies adopt the standard, exchanging data between office software will
become as easy as saving and opening a file - a system integrator's dream. For
developers, Apache OpenOffice offers a range of options, from extensions - in a

+title=Why Apache OpenOffice: Office 2003 End of Life
+notice=https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
+~~~~~~
+##The April 2014 deadline
+
+Microsoft has [announced][1] that they are ending support of Office 2003 and
Windows XP on April 8th, 2014. What does this mean? As they describe,
+"After April 8, 2014, there will be no new security updates, non-security
hotfixes, free or paid assisted support options or online technical content
updates." This,
+according to Microsoft, exposes Office 2003 users to greater "Security &
Compliance Risks".
+
+##Exploring the alternatives
+
+Some companies and users will write a big check to Microsoft and upgrade to a
new version of Windows and a new version of Office. But other companies will
see this as an opportunity
+to explore the alternatives, including open source products like Apache
OpenOffice, the leading free productivity suite. It is not too early to start
planning for a migration off
+of Microsoft Office 2003 and Windows XP. Many companies have already started.

+notice=https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0

+##Complicated software, developed by volunteers?
+
+Apache OpenOffice is developed 100% by volunteers. Apache does not pay for
developers, for translators, for QA, for marketing, for UI, for support, etc.
Of course, we're
+happy to accept [donations to the Apache Software Foundation][1], to keep our
servers running and for similar overhead expenses. But our products are
developed entirely by volunteers.
+
+Some users are initially worried by this statement. How can software for
free, developed by volunteers, be any good?
+
+##Talent as deep as any corporation
+
+OpenOffice, through its decade plus existence, has had, and continues to
benefit from the contributions of many professionals. Some are sponsored by
their employers to volunteer
+with the project. At one time or another Sun, Oracle, Novell, Redhat, IBM and
others have sponsored their employees to work on OpenOffice. Some professional
are recently retired
+and work on the project to keep their skills sharp or to "give back" to the
open source community. Others have a business based on OpenOffice consulting,
and volunteer with the
+project to stay close to potential customers. Others are students, studying
software engineering or a related field, and participate in our project as a
form of electronic
+internship. Among our volunteers are several programmers with over a decade's
experience working on OpenOffice. We are fortunate to have a depth of talent
working on this project
+that would be the envy of many corporations.
+
+So our all-volunteer principle is a statement of how we are organized, as a
non-profit. We do not pay for developers. But this is not a statement on the
professionalism and
+talent of our volunteers. In fact, very few corporations would be able to
afford the kind of talent that we have, as volunteers, helping with Apache
OpenOffice.
+
+##Join us!
+
+If you have skills in programming, quality assurance, translation, technical
writing, graphic design, marketing or related disciplines, then you can make
difference by
+[volunteering with the Apache OpenOffice project][2]. With the generous
contributions of your time and talent, we can make OpenOffice even better!
