Novell goes for the desktop
Novell goes for the desktop
Posted Mar 16, 2006 12:18 UTC (Thu) by liljencrantz (subscriber, #28458)Parent article: Novell goes for the desktop
This article briefly mentions ooo-build, which seems to be a fork of OpenOffice.org. I looked it up on the oo.o wiki, but there really doesn't seem to be that much information about it. Could perhaps LWN consider writing an article about what is going on here? Specifically, who are the people behind ooo-build, how is the relationship going between them and the people developing oo.o, what companies are backing the respecive braches, etc..

ooo-build was started by Michael Meeks as a patch staging ground when he first started working on OpenOffice.org for Ximian, most Linux based devs seem to use it before there stuff gets upstream (if it does at all) see: http://ooo.ximian.com/ for more.

I think you can read more about that at go-ooo.org.
