33 Entwickler haben OpenOffice.org verlassen und sich der TDF angeschlossen

Although it has been stressed several times that there will be collaboration on a technical level, and changes are possible – there is no indication from Oracle to change it’s mind on the question of the project organization and management. For those who want to achieve such a change, but see no realistic opportunity within the current project and are therefore involved in the TDF, unfortunately this results in an “either / or” question.
The answer for us who sign this letter is clear: We want a change to give the community as well as the software it develops the opportunity to evolve. For this reason, from now on we will support The Document Foundation and will – as a team – develop and promote LibreOffice.
LibreOffice hat bereits die Unterstützung von Google, Novell, Red Hat und Canonical und diese Liste wird immer länger. Mark Shuttleworth kündigte bereits an, dass LibreOffice künftig OpenOffice.org in Ubuntu-Ausgaben ersetzen wird.
