[tdf-discuss] Proposal to join Apache OpenOffice

Greetings All, Some of you will remember me as a long time member of the OpenOffice.org community. In fact, back in the day, it was sometimes just myself and Michael Meeks who were openly complaining on the OOo mailing list about Sun's handling of the "community" :-) I'm writing today about what

It seems that the logic here is: code for OpenOffice and you are contributing to both projects, code for LibreOffice and you only contribute to one :) http://www.robweir.com/blog/2011/06/apache-openoffice-how-to-get-involved.html -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.

Delivering sermons to LibreOffice after being humbled by the same community which you and some corporates didn't even bothered to even hear out, I am sure you know that OOo has not been accepted as an Apache project yet.

Competition breads competence. Let there be two groups, two paths, two products. In fact, I hope that the groups co-exist but go on completely separate management styles and feature direction. The fact that it might potentially lead to two in-compatible code-bases or at the very least, not a ver
