To Users: Can anyone tell me what is going on? Is OOo going the way of WordPerfect or other software that started to be ignored and left by the wayside! Can someone tell me if Oracle is trying to destroy or, at least, nullify OOo? Is LibreOffice the one to go to, now?:-\
At this point all that has happened is that Oracle has offer to donate the OOo code/trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation. On the ASF mailing list, archive at http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/ , they are discussing if OOo can build a community to keep the project alive. If they decide to support the project, they vote later this week, then a new project will be started on the ASF.
If you feel that OOo should continue then you can help support it by joining the mailing list above or add your name as an initial committer on the wiki page at http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenOfficeProposal . Most of those supporting TDF are giving reasons that it should not happen, I do not understand why.
