Actually there is something to follow: <quote> Whiteboard changed: Another Update - rickspencer3 [2010-02-11] All in all it seems that users and community members would really prefer that we ship OOo for the editing suite. We discussed a bit in #ubuntu-desktop this morning and decided that we should probably switch back to OOo, which we will do on Monday if we don't hear anything that makes us change our minds again. We'll do a proper app selection session at next UDS. </quote> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
