Schaller: An Open Letter to Apache Foundation and Apache OpenOffice team
So dear Apache developers, for the sake of open source and free software, please recommend people to go and download LibreOffice, the free office suite that is being actively maintained and developed and which has the best chance of giving them a great experience using free software. OpenOffice is an important part of open source history, but that is also what it is at this point in time."
In this context, it's interesting to note that OpenOffice project chair Jan
Iverson recently stepped down, listing
resistance to an effort to cooperate with LibreOffice as one of the main
reasons. The project currently looks set to name Dennis Hamilton (who is
running unopposed) as its
new chair.
