Sun remains the project's chief sponsor and contributor, though the project can now boast contributions from Novell, Red Hat, Debian, Intel, and many other large and small companies, plus the very important and numberless contributions from independent developers, NGOs, and government agencies. All these have made OpenOffice.org not just a free alternative productivity suite but the best and most advanced productivity suite. And also a great community." http://www.openoffice.org/ Press release: http://www.openoffice.org/press/press_release_year_five.html Year 5 round-up: http://www.openoffice.org/editorial/year_five.html Sun and Google Team Up ---------------------- "The agreement between Sun and Google also kicks off further collaboration between the companies on projects like OpenOffice.org, the open source productivity suite that is the world's leading suite on the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS) and Linux--and the leading alternative suite on Microsoft Windows." http://www.sun.com/2005-1004/feature/index.html More reporting: http://ooonewsletter.blogspot.com/2005/10/sun-and-google-team-up.html Report on the Native-Language Confederation meeting at OOoCon 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------ The discussions from the Native-Language Confederation meeting at the 2005 OpenOffice.org conference have now been posted to the OpenOffice.org mailing lists. http://native-lang.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=5801 LCA 2006 OpenOffice.org Miniconf - Call For Participation --------------------------------------------------------- This is a call for participation in the second OpenOffice.org Miniconf which will be part of the LCA 2006 conference in Dunedin, New Zealand.

Recent research into these versions by large government departments indicates that for many sites, it is now 10 times cheaper to migrate to the new OpenOffice.org 2.0 than upgrading to Microsoft Office 12." http://computerworld.com.sg/ShowPage.aspx?pagetype=2&articleid=2742&pubid=3&issueid=66 Bulgaria ======== Good OpenOffice.org practices in Balkans ---------------------------------------- "The pilot municipality in the project was Kardjali (www.kardjali.bg and kardjali.foss.bg). Kardjali is one of the 28 regional cities in Bulgaria. Located in the south of the country, and close to the border with Turkey and Greece, it has around 69,000 citizens, a mixture of Bulgarian and ethnic Turks. In the first two stages of the migration, the local government authorityOs computers switched from Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer to OpenOffice.org and Mozilla Firefox." http://ooonewsletter.blogspot.com/2005/10/good-openofficeorg-practices-in.html Germany ======= "City of Mannheim to switch to Linux "quietly"" ----------------------------------------------- "The city however has already commissioned a study on the introduction of OpenOffice. It would probably take another four to five years before Linux appeared on the staff's PC desktops, Gerd Armbruster of Mannheim city's IT department told heise online." http://www.heise.de/english/newsticker/news/64856 http://ooonewsletter.blogspot.com/2005/10/city-of-mannheim-to-switch-to-linux.html Featured news ######################################################################### [Opinion] "Why OpenOffice.org 2.0 Is Your Best Choice" ------------------------------------------------------ "OpenOffice.org is every bit as good as the best of all those proprietary programsNLotus Word Pro 9.8 and Excel 2000 for my moneyNand in some ways it's even better." http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1874157,00.asp OASIS OpenDocument Format submitted to the ISO ---------------------------------------------- The OASIS OpenDocument Format has been submitted to the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission's Joint Technical Committee as a standard for XML office documents. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200509/msg00016.html http://ooonewsletter.blogspot.com/2005/10/oasis-opendocument-format-submitted-to.html "Open formats make history - and maintain it" --------------------------------------------- "Governments such as Massachusetts are concerned about long-term data preservation. We need to care about it too - there would be no point in having the 30-year-rule, which lets us read the inside story on all the Government scandals of the 1970s, if all the data was stored electronically in a format no-one understood any more. All these problems are left behind by open formats. Anyone can implement them. The people behind www.OpenOffice.org, www.koffice.org and www.abiword.com have all done so - and there is no vendor lock-in. The documented and free nature of the format means that obsolescence is not possible. As long as the format has users, there will be software to read and write it." http://business.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,9075-1831039,00.html [Review] "An economical alternative to pricey office suites" ------------------------------------------------------------ "The savings from choosing OpenOffice can add up fast for small businesses that are buying several new computers. Many home users might be delighted to avoid spending even a few dollars on basic office software." http://www.timesargus.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051009/NEWS/510090316/1006/BUSINESS [Review] "A Glimpse of OpenOffice 2.0 -- Now Available for Free Public Downloading" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Once an open-source project really gets rolling, as has OpenOffice.org, it is tough for closed-source developers to beat it -- even the Microsoft Goliath. As you have noticed at this OpenOffice 2 level we still are viewing Microsoft Office as the standard and looking to see how OpenOffice 2 matches up against the standard. It would not be surprising at all if by the time OpenOffice 3 is released that OpenOffice is the standard and people will be looking to see if Microsoft Office comes up to the OpenOffice standard for office suite software." http://www.mozillaquest.com/OpenSource05/OpenOffice-2-release_Story01.html "Everybody's Guide to OpenDocument" ----------------------------------- "Sorting out the facts from the errors and omissions in recent reaction to Massachusetts' announcement to use OpenDocument. A lot of misinformation about the OpenDocument digital format has started to appear in the mainstream media and interest groups. Answers to many questions on the topic already have appeared, but they are written by techies for techies. This article is different, however. You can print out this one and pass it on to everyone, regardless of their computer skill level." http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8616 Open source taking over Europe ------------------------------ "Nearly half of European local government bodies are using open source software while nearly a third don't know that they are using open source at all." http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/10/21/opensource_government/ "Companies expect open-source desktop software" ----------------------------------------------- "On the same day that programmers released version 2 of OpenOffice.org, survey results showed a significant opportunity for the open-source rival to Microsoft Office. By 2010, 22 percent of companies surveyed by Saugatuck Technology expect their core desktop productivity programs will be open-source software." http://news.com.com/2061-10795_3-5906409.html "Like rock n' roll, open source here to stay" --------------------------------------------- "Open source software isn't a craze and won't be a short-lived fad in the corporate IT environment. More importantly, OSS isn't being put on the back burner by the corporate world. For every wait-and-see CIO, there are dozens who are eager to leverage the value of OSS in their organizations." "The low cost of OpenOffice, an open source desktop suite, caught the notice of Daniel Bray, network administrator for HealthFirst, a healthcare organization in Brevard County. His analysis showed that deploying OpenOffice would save HealthFirst $2 million over an upgrade of a proprietary product and continue to deliver savings in license fees for years." http://searchopensource.techtarget.com/columnItem/0,294698,sid39_gci1130503,00.html KOffice 1.4.2 with Improved OpenDocument Support ------------------------------------------------ The KOffice suite, a competitor to OpenOffice.org, has now added improved OpenDocument support to their newest release. "OpenDocument" is the new standard for office documents used by the upcoming OpenOffice.org 2.0 and StarOffice 8. http://dot.kde.org/1129013255/ AbiWord gets OpenDocument support from Nokia -------------------------------------------- "Support for the OpenDocument file format has been donated by INdT, Nokia's Technology Institute. Currently the OpenDocument import filter is basically complete, with support for styles, headers/footers, lists, image wrapping, text boxes, tables, footnotes/endnotes and tables of contents.
