href=&quot;http://www.informationweek.com/&quot;&gt;InformationWeek&lt;/a&gt; 
is writing more and more about open source lately, perhaps because the open 
source tide is rising ever higher. Last week, IW&amp;#8217;s Serdar Yegulalp 
published &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/enterpriseapps/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=212201932&amp;pgno=1&amp;queryText=&amp;isPrev=&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Open-Source
 Office Suites Compared&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which reviews &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/&quot;&gt;OpenOffice.org&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.sun.com/software/staroffice/&quot;&gt;StarOffice&lt;/a&gt;,
 &lt;a href=&quot;http://symphony.lotus.com/&quot;&gt;IBM Lotus 
Symphony&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.koffice.org/&quot;&gt;KOffice&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.abisource.com/&quot;&gt;AbiWord&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span 
id=&quot;articleBody&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;In this review I&amp;#8217;ve taken a 
look at OpenOffice.org&amp;#8217;s most recent release, along with the 
commercially-supported StarOffice from Sun, IBM&amp;#8217;s reworking of OO.o 
as Lotus Symphony, the KOffice suite for Linux, and the minimal but still 
useful AbiWord. Talking about how these would entirely replace Microsoft Office 
would be misleading, since not everyone might be doing that &amp;#8212; so 
I&amp;#8217;ve looked at each product as far on its own merits as 
possible.&amp;#8221;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Each suite has its unique strengths, and Yegulalp does a thorough job 
comparing their primary advantages and the factors that differentiate 
them.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Overall, the presence of these five major office suites as 
competitors, and cooperators that all support the open ODF file format, helps 
to encourage robust experimentation and innovation which the market has sorely 
lacked for well over a decade.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Compatible competition&amp;#8221; will bring better value 
and technology to all of us using these types of software 
tools.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

-</h3>
-<p>
-<p>It feels like <a href="http://www.informationweek.com/";>InformationWeek</a> 
is writing more and more about open source lately, perhaps because the open 
source tide is rising ever higher. Last week, IW&#8217;s Serdar Yegulalp 
published <a 
href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/enterpriseapps/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=212201932&pgno=1&queryText=&isPrev=";><em>Open-Source
 Office Suites Compared</em></a>, which reviews <a

href="http://www.sun.com/software/staroffice/";>StarOffice</a>, <a 
href="http://symphony.lotus.com/";>IBM Lotus Symphony</a>, <a 
href="http://www.koffice.org/";>KOffice</a> and <a 
href="http://www.abisource.com/";>AbiWord</a>:</p>
-<blockquote><p><span id="articleBody">&#8220;In this review I&#8217;ve taken a 
look at OpenOffice.org&#8217;s most recent release, along with the 
commercially-supported StarOffice from Sun, IBM&#8217;s reworking of OO.o as 
Lotus Symphony, the KOffice suite for Linux, and the minimal but still useful 
AbiWord. Talking about how these would entirely replace Microsoft Office would 
be misleading, since not everyone might be doing that &#8212; so I&#8217;ve 
looked at each product as far on its own merits as 
possible.&#8221;</span></p></blockquote>
-<p>Each suite has its unique strengths, and Yegulalp does a thorough job 
comparing their primary advantages and the factors that differentiate them.</p>
-<p>Overall, the presence of these five major office suites as competitors, and 
cooperators that all support the open ODF file format, helps to encourage 
robust experimentation and innovation which the market has sorely lacked for 
well over a decade.</p>
-<p>&#8220;Compatible competition&#8221; will bring better value and technology 
to all of us using these types of software tools.</p></p>

href="http://maps.google.co.uk/";>Google Maps</a>. I was looking at a property 
search engine this evening and I spotted that as well as their regular 
Google-based maps, they also have an experimental OpenStreetMap based version. 
So which is better? You choose:</p>

everybody can work on issues in  &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/query.cgi&quot;&gt;IssueTracker&lt;/a&gt;
 (bug tracking system for OOo) with the help of these experts. The meetings

href=&quot;http://qa.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&amp;msgNo=11547&quot;&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt;
 that meeting on the QA mailing list in December. One of the topics at that 
chat will be to verify and to close all fixed issues in OOo 3.0.1. When there 
are changes in the topics or if you need additional information, please take a 
look at the relevant Wiki page :&lt;/p&gt;

+       <description>&lt;div&gt; 
+    &lt;h1&gt;Welcome in the QA project of OpenOffice.org&lt;/h1&gt; 
+    &lt;p&gt;If you are interested in working in the QA project you can 
participate in the next 24 hour QA chat at 13 &lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of 
January 2009. This is monthly chat with experts from the QA community where 
everybody can work on issues in  &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/query.cgi&quot;&gt;IssueTracker&lt;/a&gt;
 (bug tracking system for OOo) with the help of these experts. The meetings 
have special topics, which will announced on a &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Issue_hunting_party&quot;&gt;wiki
 page&lt;/a&gt;. The chat will take place at IRC ( &lt;a 
href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot;&gt;irc://irc.freenode.net/&lt;/a&gt;) in 
the group #qa.openoffice.org and will start at 10:00 am UTC.&lt;/p&gt; 
+    &lt;h1&gt;What's up in the next QA chat?&lt;/h1&gt; 
+    &lt;p&gt;Next Tuesday the 13th of January the QA community will have their 
first Issue-Clean-Up-Chat in 2009. Stefan Baltzer  &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://qa.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&amp;msgNo=11547&quot;&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt;
 that meeting on the QA mailing list in December. One of the topics at that 
chat will be to verify and to close all fixed issues in OOo 3.0.1. When there 
are changes in the topics or if you need additional information, please take a 
look at the relevant Wiki page :&lt;/p&gt;

-       <title>Benjamin Horst: Information Week Compares Open Source Office 
Suites</title>
-       <guid>http://www.solidoffice.com/?p=925</guid>
-       <link>http://www.solidoffice.com/archives/925</link>
-       <description>&lt;p&gt;It feels like &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.informationweek.com/&quot;&gt;InformationWeek&lt;/a&gt; 
is writing more and more about open source lately, perhaps because the open 
source tide is rising ever higher. Last week, IW&amp;#8217;s Serdar Yegulalp 
published &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/enterpriseapps/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=212201932&amp;pgno=1&amp;queryText=&amp;isPrev=&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Open-Source
 Office Suites Compared&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which reviews &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/&quot;&gt;OpenOffice.org&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.sun.com/software/staroffice/&quot;&gt;StarOffice&lt;/a&gt;,
 &lt;a href=&quot;http://symphony.lotus.com/&quot;&gt;IBM Lotus 
Symphony&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.koffice.org/&quot;&gt;KOffice&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.abisource.com/&quot;&gt;AbiWord&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span 
id=&quot;articleBody&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;In this review I&amp;#8217;ve taken a 
look at OpenOffice.org&amp;#8217;s most recent release, along with the 
commercially-supported StarOffice from Sun, IBM&amp;#8217;s reworking of OO.o 
as Lotus Symphony, the KOffice suite for Linux, and the minimal but still 
useful AbiWord. Talking about how these would entirely replace Microsoft Office 
would be misleading, since not everyone might be doing that &amp;#8212; so 
I&amp;#8217;ve looked at each product as far on its own merits as 
possible.&amp;#8221;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Each suite has its unique strengths, and Yegulalp does a thorough job 
comparing their primary advantages and the factors that differentiate 
them.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Overall, the presence of these five major office suites as 
competitors, and cooperators that all support the open ODF file format, helps 
to encourage robust experimentation and innovation which the market has sorely 
lacked for well over a decade.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Compatible competition&amp;#8221; will bring better value 
and technology to all of us using these types of software 
tools.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<link>http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2008/12/13/open-or-commercial-you-decide/</link>
-       <description>&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#8217;s face it, you&amp;#8217;d think it 
would be hard for a volunteer open-source project to compete with one of the 
world&amp;#8217;s most affluent technology companies.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;No, for once, I&amp;#8217;m not talking about &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/&quot;&gt;OpenOffice.org&lt;/a&gt; and a 
rival product from a monopoly commercial software house.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m talking about &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openstreetmap.org/&quot;&gt;OpenStreetMap&lt;/a&gt; and 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Google Maps&lt;/a&gt;. I 
was looking at a property search engine this evening and I spotted that as well 
as their regular Google-based maps, they also have an experimental 
OpenStreetMap based version. So which is better? You choose:&lt;/p&gt;

href=&quot;http://openstreetmap.nestoria.co.uk/staveley_kendal/property/buy&quot;&gt;OpenStreetMap
 sample&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Kudos to the guys at &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.nestoria.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Nestoria&lt;/a&gt; for their use 
of open source technologies.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
