Apache co-founder calls for "neutral" open source community work ---------------------------------------------------------------- "The move follows a decision by Sun Microsystems Inc to base its StarOffice desktop productivity suite, which is finding increased support against Microsoft Corp's Office, on APIs from the open source OpenOffice suite. Behlendorf claimed 80% of OpenOffice.org's work is done by Sun "but the other 20% [of the community] need something neutral."
Behlendorf said the strength of Projects like ASF and OpenOffice is they can deliver infrastructure products, leaving vendors to implement the software and provide support. "There is a good church versus state balance we can follow," he said." http://www.cbronline.com/article_news.asp?guid=FFBD7E85-6BC9-4C59-A0F7-47B2BC0252CC Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
