Cor, let me explain a little bit further how I "decided" to come back with a line for OOo. I came up with this while writing my presentation for Barcelona. My conference is about "marketing ODF to the OOo community". It is not so much about ODF as an attempt to explain to the OOo community why ODF is important for OpenOffice.org . One of the core values I was thinking about ODF as the default file format was that in some way, it was transcending OOo. (More on that... in my conference) . And then I realized that, if I were to explain that ODF is much more than a file format, then OOo was not just an productivity suite or a set of applications. It's a tool allowing people to unleash their creativity, and to me creativity is not just drawing or sculpting, it's also about writing, and sharing with others. Sharing with others is one essential element of work, of one's daily job. Hence the contextual usage of a productivity suite at work. But since this allows for users to be creative and share their works, then it means that OOo allows users, and more generally people to get in the network, take in the game, to participate. So to me, OpenOffice.org enables participation. It's not a productivity suite, it's a participation enabler.
