OpenOffice が Apache インキュベータを卒業


The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache OpenOffice? as a
Top-Level Project

Apache OpenOffice が Apache のトップレベルプロジェクト(TLP)に。Apache ソフトウェアファウンデーション(ASF)が発表。

Award-winning leading Open Source productivity suite widely used in
228 countries; over 20 million downloads of latest version since its
release in May 2012

Apache OpenOffice
は数々の賞を受賞したオープンソースのオフィススイートで、世界228カ国で使われており、2012年5月にリリースされた最新バージョンのダウンロードは2000万以上に達しています。

Forest Hill, MD - 18 October 2012 ? The Apache Software Foundation
(ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of
nearly 150 Open Source projects and initiatives, today announced that
Apache Open Office has graduated from the Apache Incubator to become a
Top-Level Project (TLP), signifying that the Project’s community and
products have been well-governed under the ASF's meritocratic process
and principles.

2012年10月18日米国メリーランド州フォレストヒル発 - Apache
ソフトウェアファウンデーション(ASF)、ボランティアの開発者と世話人、そして150近くのインキュベータプロジェクトは、本日、Apache
OpenOffice が Apache インキュベータを卒業し、トップレベルプロジェクト(TLP)になったと発表しました。これは
Apache OpenOffice
プロジェクトのコミュニティーと開発しているソフトウェア製品が、ASFの能力主義的なプロセスと原則の下で良く統率されてきたことを示しています。

"The graduation of OpenOffice is testament to The Apache Way
successfully scaling from incubating 'ingredient brands' to a
highly-established end-user product," said ASF Executive Vice
President and Apache OpenOffice mentor Ross Gardler. "The incubation
process allowed experienced Apache contributors to mentor the project,
helping both new and established OpenOffice contributors build an
Apache-style community that is both open and diverse."

ASFのエグゼクティブバイスプレジデントで Apache OpenOffice のメンター(助言者)でもある Ross Gardler
は「OpenOffice の卒業は、Apache のやり方(The Apache
Way)が他のソフトウェア製品の構成要素になってあまり目立たないソフトウェアだけでなく、多数のエンドユーザーがいて定評があり良く目立つソフトウェア製品にも通用する証拠です。インキュベータのプロセスがあったからこそ、経験豊かな
Apache のコントリビュータ(貢献者)はメンターとして、新しいコントリビュータと古くからのコントリビュータの両方を助け、オープンでかつ多様性のある
Apache 流コミュニティーを作り上げることができたのです。

"The OpenOffice graduation is the official recognition that the
project is now able to self-manage not only in technical matters, but
also in community issues," said Andrea Pescetti, Vice President of
Apache OpenOffice. "The 'Apache Way' and its methods, such as taking
every decision in public with total transparency, have allowed the
project to attract and successfully engage new volunteers, and to
elect an active and diverse Project Management Committee that will be
able to guarantee a stable future to Apache OpenOffice."


Initially created by Star Division in the 1990's, the OpenOffice code
base was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 1999 and later Oracle
Corporation in 2010, before being submitted to The Apache Software
Foundation Incubator in June 2011.


During its development period in the Apache Incubator, the Apache
OpenOffice project transitioned nearly 10 million lines of code, added
numerous enhancements, and fixed dozens of user-reported bugs in the
popular and free productivity suite. In addition, the software
received five industry awards, ranging from individual component
highlights to top download to best Open Source desktop office
productivity application suite.


In May 2012 Apache OpenOffice v3.4.1 was released in 20 languages, and
downloaded over 20 million times by individual, corporate,
educational, and government users in 228 countries. Since then, the
project has been working on new functionality, innovations, and
releases targeted for Q1 and Q4 2013.


"It's really cool that OpenOffice is now a top-level project at
Apache," said Juergen Schmidt, Apache OpenOffice Release Manager. "We
met many challenges to achieve this milestone: our first Apache
OpenOffice 3.4 release required our community to not only transition
the code from Oracle repositories to Apache, but also replace
incompatibly-licensed libraries in order to successfully meet Apache's
licensing requirements. Now our Apache OpenOffice source code is
available for the benefit of other projects and organizations."


"We are extremely proud of this important milestone and welcome
OpenOffice into our stable of world leading Apache projects," added
Gardler.


Availability and Oversight
Apache OpenOffice is available free of charge to any user for any
purpose, and may be downloaded from http://openoffice.org. The product
can be downloaded on an unlimited number of PCs for an unlimited
number of users --completely free of any license fees. The project has
a strong focus on open standards support, from ODF (the first
implementor of ISO/IEC 26300) to future plans for CMIS, OpenSocial,
and OData.


As with all Apache software, Apache OpenOffice software is released
under the Apache License v2.0, and is overseen by a self-selected team
of active contributors to the project. A Project Management Committee
(PMC) guides the Project's day-to-day operations, including community
development and product releases. Information on Apache OpenOffice
source code, documentation, mailing lists, related resources, and ways
to participate are available at http://openoffice.apache.org/.
