Hi :) I agree about taking them at their word and trying to help with fixing it but over the last year we have seen differences between their promises towards OpenSource and their actions.
TDF is not the only OpenSource or semi-OpenSource project or organisation that has been forced to walk away from trying to deal with Oracle http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Linux-and-Open-Source/Apache-Blasts-Oracle-Quits-JCP-Over-TCK-857950/ Regards from Tom :) --- On Fri, 14/10/11, John Talbut <[email protected]> wrote: From: John Talbut <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Base slowness and Java update To: [email protected] Date: Friday, 14 October, 2011, 5:53 Hi Tom On 14/10/11 02:56, you wrote: > > The OpenJDK website mentions Oracle a bit > http://openjdk.java.net/faq/ > About 2nd or 3rd main sub-heading is "Oracle's plans for OpenJDK". > That page mentions Oracle quite a lot! However, they make a very clear commitment to open source and to welcoming outside involvement: "If I don't work for Oracle, can I participate in OpenJDK? Of course, we'd be happy to have you join! You can participate under the same conditions as other contributors. See http://openjdk.org/contribute for details." So, let's take them at their word. However, before we can ask them to sort out this slowness bug we need, it seems to me, to be able to tell them what the bug is. Which is why I am trying to find out what it is about OpenJDK, which change, is causing the problem with base.
