As part of today's news, IBM will contribute staff resources to collaborate with the Apache community during the project's incubation period to further the Open Document Format standard. Great joy ? Well, it's more than what IBM had previously stated, that was *nothing*. :-) I'm not a fan of *two* communities and *two *foundations that work on a more or less modified OOo code base. However, having all Oracle OOo assets under the ownership (or other transient agreement) of another open source foundation, it's better than let a brand like OpenOffice.org die in Oracle copyright/brands portfolio.

[tdf-discuss] Oracle contributes OOo Code to Apache Software Foundation's Incubator
quote REDWOOD SHORES, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 1, 2011) - With today's proposal to contribute the OpenOffice.org code to The Apache Software Foundation's Incubator, Oracle continues to demonstrate its commitment to the developer and open source communities. Donating OpenOffice.org to Apache gives this popular consumer software a mature, open, and well established infrastructure to continue well into the future. The Apache Software Foundation's model makes it possible for commercial and individual volunteer contributors to collaborate on open source product development. -- Luke Kowalski, vice president, Oracle Corporate Architecture Group. /quote More: http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/statements-on-openofficeorg-contribution-to-apache-nasdaq-orcl-1521400.htm It will be interesting to see how this works out how TDF will work with ASF. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
