My opinion, as an independent OpenOffice.org community member, is that OpenOffice.org was, for most of its life, in excellent hands with Sun/Oracle all things considered. Given that Oracle has decided to pull away, I think handing it to an open source minded, vendor-neutral, mature, capable organization such as the ASF will provide it the best opportunities for continued success. -- Vriendelijke groet, Simon Brouwer -*- nl.openoffice.org -*- http://www.opentaal.org -*- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
