exciting month, and there&amp;#8217;s more to come. Not only this blog has 
known a record high peaks of audience, but I really wanted to show what we are 
up to these days. Several things are happening and I wish, now that I and my 
fellow non-Oracle members have resigned from the Community Council of 
OpenOffice.org, to stop the antics around that question. The fact of the matter 
is, we have left the OpenOffice.org project, others are leaving as well, and I 
don&amp;#8217;t foresee a lot of people staying after the 3.3 release, which 
will be the last OpenOffice.org released with the full help of the community. 
On the other hand, Oracle will not be working with us, and is not interested 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/177158&quot;&gt;to do 
so in their own words&lt;/a&gt;. Enough said.  &lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The Document Foundation and LibreOffice are quite a daunting task to 
achieve; in fact, it&amp;#8217;s not just the continuation of the largest code 
base of Free and Open Source software, which is already something major in 
itself, it&amp;#8217;s the live development of software that&amp;#8217;s truly 
innovative, truly appealing, and exceeding what the users were used to expect 
before. I have read on GigaOM that LibreOffice was, like OpenOffice.org, a 
technology of the past, a paradigm of the eighties or the nineties waiting to 
die. I would not disagree with the notion that our paradigm is old: 
that&amp;#8217;s what Microsoft is realizing, and why it&amp;#8217;s freaking 
out by creating phony videos on YouTube that only helps to highlight the 
lock-in people experience with Microsoft formats. Yet, LibreOffice is here to 
stay; as a project, and as a software. After our two betas we are expecting a 
code freeze by tomorrow or so, and we already have included lots of patches and 
fixes that will make LibreOffice already different from what you would have 
expected: a themed OpenOffice.org . More changes will be visible soon. 
&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;On the community point of view, it&amp;#8217;s important to note that 
despite being only one month old we gained over 60 developers, around 40 of 
them being localizers, the other twenty submitting actual code patches. I 
understand the developers are having fun, that they&amp;#8217;re fixing a lot 
of broken things, and if you have downloaded our latest beta the first thing 
you will realize aside our splashscreen is how blazingly fast LibreOffice 
starts, both on cold boot and on subsequent starts.  We will have to see how 
this trend in attracting more developers evolves over time. Also on the 
community point of view we have started to discuss several fundamental 
questions such as the definition of contributors, our position on copyright 
assignment while rolling out tools, mailing lists and committing ourselves to 
transparency: now you don&amp;#8217;t just have the minutes of our Steering 
Committee&amp;#8217;s meetings, you can join in public sessions, ask questions 
on the phone and have the actual recording of the session on line. &lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;But there&amp;#8217;s a lot more that needs to be taken care of: our 
bylaws, the governance of our project and of course the foundation 
itself.&lt;br /&gt;
+I strongly believe that in the end, it&amp;#8217;s how we will shape the very 
fabric of our community -which today mostly amounts to the OpenOffice.org 
project volunteers- that will allow us to progress and innovate together. After 
a month, I am cautiously optimistic, but it seems we&amp;#8217;re on the right 
track to do something extraordinary. Thank you everyone, looking forward to a 
great Document Foundation!  &lt;/p&gt;

Several things are happening and I wish, now that I and my fellow non-Oracle 
members have resigned from the Community Council of OpenOffice.org, to stop the 
antics around that question. The fact of the matter is, we have left the 
OpenOffice.org project, others are leaving as well, and I don&amp;#8217;t 
foresee a lot of people staying after the 3.3 release, which will be the last 
OpenOffice.org released with the full help of the community. On the other hand, 
Oracle will not be working with us, and is not interested &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/177158&quot;&gt;to do so in 
their own words&lt;/a&gt;. Enough said.  &lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The Document Foundation and LibreOffice are quite a daunting task to 
achieve; in fact, it&amp;#8217;s not just the continuation of the largest code 
base of Free and Open Source software, which is already something major in 
itself, it&amp;#8217;s the live development of software that&amp;#8217;s truly 
innovative, truly appealing, and exceeding what the users were used to expect 
before. I have read on GigaOM that LibreOffice was, like OpenOffice.org, a 
technology of the past, a paradigm of the eighties or the nineties waiting to 
die. I would not disagree with the notion that our paradigm is old: 
that&amp;#8217;s what Microsoft is realizing, and why it&amp;#8217;s freaking 
out by creating phony videos on YouTube that only helps to highlight the 
lock-in people experience with Microsoft formats. Yet, LibreOffice is here to 
stay; as a project, and as a software. After our two betas we are expecting a 
code freeze by tomorrow or so, and we already have included lots of patches and 
fixes that will make LibreOffice already different from what you would have 
expected: a themed OpenOffice.org . More changes will be visible soon. 
&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;On the community point of view, it&amp;#8217;s important to note that 
despite being only one month old we gained over 60 developers, around 40 of 
them being localizers, the other twenty submitting actual code patches. I 
understand the developers are having fun, that they&amp;#8217;re fixing a lot 
of broken things, and if you have downloaded our latest beta the first thing 
you will realize aside our splashscreen is how blazingly fast LibreOffice 
starts, both on cold boot and on subsequent starts.  We will have to see how 
this trend in attracting more developers evolves over time. Also on the 
community point of view we have started to discuss several fundamental 
questions such as the definition of contributors, our position on copyright 
assignment while rolling out tools, mailing lists and committing ourselves to 
transparency: now you don&amp;#8217;t just have the minutes of our Steering 
Committee&amp;#8217;s meetings, you can join in public sessions, ask questions 
on the phone and have the actual recording of the session on line. &lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;But there&amp;#8217;s a lot more that needs to be taken care of: our 
bylaws, the governance of our project and of course the foundation 
itself.&lt;br /&gt;
+I strongly believe that in the end, it&amp;#8217;s how we will shape the very 
fabric of our community -which today mostly amounts to the OpenOffice.org 
project volunteers- that will allow us to progress and innovate together. After 
a month, I am cautiously optimistic, but it seems we&amp;#8217;re on the right 
track to do something extraordinary. Thank you everyone, looking forward to a 
great Document Foundation!  &lt;/p&gt;

-       <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;How often do we hear that we should fix and 
report bugs in all projects and then all the world's problems will dissappear? 
&quot;Patches welcome&quot; and all that jazz. Of course it isn't wrong, and we 
probably say similar things in our project. &lt;a

+       <description>&lt;p&gt;Well it&amp;#8217;s been an exciting month, and 
there&amp;#8217;s more to come. Not only this blog has known a record high 
peaks of audience, but I really wanted to show what we are up to these days.
