Hi Louis, 2015-04-19 17:17 GMT+02:00 Louis Suárez-Potts lui...@gmail.com: Thanks for the clarification and am glad you’ve been able to work with them.. I’m also not employed by them. I do find their work and collaboration interesting, as well, and in particular their use of Calligra, which I’ve long touted as very interesting, indeed. (I tried to engage Inge for a project; my inducement was the interest value of it.) I am intrigued that they chose to use Calligra here, as opposed, say, to WebODF (which was made by some who used to be associated—not sure?--with KOffice, which forked, one tine being Calligra; it is now the dominant one, I believe). I had been considering WebODF as a means of providing a measure of ODF support on mobile devices, and that still may materialise (if I get on it) but the Calligra instance is interesting. I’d love to learn more, on-list or off-list. I hope others might find you explanation of interest. I don't currently work for them, only tell that they exist. But maybe, after my retirement in two months, I will start to work on a FR localization of their extensions. We'll see. I'm not especially a fan of Mathematics and Statistics, but perhaps with a little aspirine, I could digest Modeller ... ;-) I don't have more details about the EuroOffice for Android developpement. Maybe it's better to contact them directly if you will to learn more on this project. I know only that calc is now available, but I haven't tested it : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hu.multiracio.euroofficecalc You might also (ahem) consider looking at Corinthia, which although is quite different from Calligra and EuroOffice (the subject at hand), nevertheless resonates with the pragmatic approach demonstrated by EuroOffice. My interest here is not to fragment AOO but rather to expand our horizons and to make it so that all users can really and truly be free to use open standards on the devices they bring to work or that are foisted upon them. Corinthia seems interesting, but a little young to get an accurate idea of its possibilities. But the project is indeed promising. And, implicitly, to undo stealth vendor lock-in of the sort we are seeing now in mobiles for enterprise. Or have you not noticed that there are precious few native (as opposed to virtualised) open-source productivity tools to be found ready for the enterprise?

If you recall, MultiRacio of Hungary, the makers and distributors of EuroOffice, have had correspondence with OpenOffice (and previously, OOo) since 2007, at least. They presented at the Barcelona OOo Conference back in 2007, where my goal was to persuade them to become positive members of the community. They in fact positively contributed and were prominent in the last OOoCon, the one held in Budapest. EuroOffice has contributed templates and, I think, extensions to the repository, and the latest on this subject was, in fact, from 24 May 2013, when Kázmér Koleszár wrote to express frustration with being unable to post updates to the extensions his company had already posted there. (Roberto Galoppini replied positively on this matter.) The site for MultiRacio has 2014, suggesting it’s up-to-date, more or less, but I would be astonished if they have a version for Android, though it’s also plausible they are working with LO on this. Easy enough just to ask Kázmér or Banai Miklós. If the desire is to have a working open source editor for text and other documents, then I would strongly suggest that people look to Corinthia Project, in Apache Incubator, as that stands the best chance of actually producing something that works and can work regardless of specific platform or environment.
