Hi http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/A_Brief_History_Of_OpenOffice.org > 1999-04 Sun Microsystems, Inc., buys StarDivision
I'm looking for the original announcement. Does anybody know about it??? Following is from a news site. http://news.cnet.com/2100-1001-230096.html > Sun buying Microsoft Office competitor > A deal to purchase Star Division was signed August 11, and an announcement is > expected August 31, http://slashdot.org/articles/99/08/30/1417210.shtml kwelty wrote in to tell us that this morning's Wall Street Journal has a bit more about Sun buying Star Office. The crazier bit tho (and the bit for while there currently is no URL following: "Sun, of Palo Alto, Calif., plans to make the Star Office applications available via the Internet and may give away the program's underlying source code free as well, these people said." Cross your fingers. Hmmm... From wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Open_Office I found an interesting part. > The German company StarDivision in Lüneburg (founded by 16-year-old Marco > Börries in 1984) wrote the original components of StarOffice. 16 years old Marco wrote the original components of StarOffice? I found a wiki describing Marco. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_B%C3%B6rries Sorry I cannot read German, but a bit. see also http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Division .
