I think collaboration/co-marketing makes a lot of sense. I even could imagine doing some work together with KOffice, AbiWord and other projects that support OpenDocument.
Yes, on a feature level OpenOffice.org is competing with KOffice, but the success of OpenDocument is critical to both projects since OpenDocument can provide the credibility that we did not have in the past. Many of you probably have seen Sun's recent ads showing different people holding up a sign. We could come up with something similar showing all the people/projects/organizations supporting OpenDocument. Just and idea, Erwin Jacqueline McNally wrote:
Hello Ian Thanks for all your thoughts - quite a brain dump :) It will take me a little while to think them through, as we already have in place much of what you suggested except for bringing to the fore your suggestion of promoting StarOffice and OpenOffice.org. The reason you give is important, i.e. SO and OOo are the first applications to support OpenDocument. We have a comparison table (v1.x) that includes SO vs OOo, and I know that Sun do have an updated one for the promotion of their SO8 product. I think it is important to be aware of other products, especially when you are in a consultancy role and providing professional advice. SO and OOo have previously participated in joint marketing, and it makes sense to better that in addition to further our joint marketing with other adopters of OpenDocument. What do others think of this and other issues that Ian (iannz) has raised ?
