Just to expand on Jomar's comment, the presentation we jointly delivered was attended by a broad spectrum of people from across many FOSS communities, and I found at the event overall that there were strong emotions still on display concerning OpenOffice.org and its new homes at Apache and TDF. During the meeting, I called for developers to start work on the code-base now, regardless of their eventual expectations of which of the two open source projects they will join, so that their skills and their familiarity with the code are developed. Change in the codebase is inevitable, but skills and familiarity gained today will remain valuable. This uniting message was well received by the audience. I've blogged further on the topic at http://webmink.com/2011/07/06/brazil-signs-up-to-develop-office-suites/ S.
Brazilian government and Apache OpenOffice.org / TDF's LibreOffice
Hi all, Last week during the FISL (International Free Software Forum) in Porto Alegre, the Brazilian Government's Free Software Implementation Committee decided to contribute with developers to the projects Apache OpenOffice.org and TDF's LibreOffice. The official press release and the signed 'Letter of Intent' can be found here - http://www.softwarelivre.gov.br/news/cisl-and-communities-strengthen-floss-office-suites. I hope that this is a solid first step for us in Brazil, and I also hope that it shows the need of a FLOSS Office Suite that we have here. I'll be working to get the developers on this mail list as soon as they' re appointed by their employers. I also did a presentation about Apache OpenOffice.org with Simon Phipps, inviting all Brazilian community to join us on the project. I plan to do a blog post on the next days talking about this governmental commitment, inviting other governments and individual contribution to work with us all. Best Regards, Jomar Silva

I know Brazil has a large investment in the suite and is the countries interest that development keeps growing. -- *Alexandro Colorado* *OpenOffice.org* Español http://es.openoffice.org
