Hi all,
The site LinuxQuestions.org is again offering users the chance to vote
on their "Members Choice Awards" categories. They are debating this year
as to whether do away with the "Office Suite of the Year" award, as
LibreOffice usually wins by such a wide margin.
Feel free to add your voice and spread the word about the vote! You may
find the voting site here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/2016-linuxquestions-org-members-choice-awards-123/office-suite-of-the-year-4175596296/
On the topic over whether they should close this particular category,
IMO, if there were no other office suite choices other than LibreOffice,
then closing the category would make sense. However, there are plenty of
choices in the Linux office suite arena and it is always nice to see how
people in general feel of their most favourite office suite. Yes, the
margins are quite wide between LibreOffice and the next second office
suite choice, however, it is always nice to see who is in second, third,
fourth place standing. It is also always nice to see that the work put
into LibreOffice is validated by an outpouring of its users.
I would then suggest that we should not only place our vote for
LibreOffice, but make sure to comment on the page, that the "Office
Suite of the Year Award" not be closed. The category not only validates
the TDF/LibreOffice achievement, but also serves to validate and
recognize other open source/for-profit projects in the office suite
category, regardless of the standing. I cannot imagine how the awards
scene would look like if all other award organizations decided to do the
same and close down categories for the same reason.
Hope you can take time to vote for your favourite office suite and feel
free to browse the other categories on the site.
Cheers,
Marc
