But seriously, there are some claiming that "all" of the
OpenOffice.org project went over to LibreOffice and that the Apache
has zero experience with this code base. I know this sounds crazy,
but how can we best refute that statement?
Here's my idea: Respond to this note and tell me how many years
experience you have working with OpenOffice. This could be in any
capacity, as a coder, tester, documentation, marketing, forum
volunteer, whatever. Please count relevant work with related
projects, such as Symphony, BSD ports, OOo4Kids, ODF, etc. as well.
How many years were you doing this before the project came to Apache?
If I get a good number of responses I'll put together an infographic on this.
- working on the code base as full-time developer since *1997*
(StarDivision)
- member of the OpenOffice.org project since the beginning
- former API project lead
- former Extension project lead
- member of the former Community Council since 2009
- driving the programmability story behind OOo
- responsible and the driving force behind the SDK since the beginning
of this product
- responsible and the driving force behind the OOo API Plugin for
NetBeans (in the past)
- spreading the knowledge around the OOo programmability features on
many many conferences all over the world (invitations are welcome ;-))
