Liberating Office
Some interesting developments happening with OpenOffice as its changing its name to The Document Foundation and its corresponding suite to OpenLibre.
The FAQs do a nice job of laying out the key details associated with this changeover. One that caught my eye related to development:
We want The Document Foundation to be open to code contributions from as many people as possible. We are delighted to announce that the enhancements produced by the Go-OOo team will be merged into LibreOffice, effective immediately. We hope that others will follow suit.
No doubt we’ll see some compelling stuff come from this openness. I’d love to see some activity on their Education project.
