[users] Open Office Forked!
The Document Foundation has released a beta version of Officelibre in order to fork from the possible proprietary way that Oracle is taking Open Office. Unfortunately the Linux version seems to be only an RPM at this moment... http://www.documentfoundation.org/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

My concern is the way the announcement was worded, it seems that what they are saying is OOo will not be continued and it will not be known be its new name. To me it reads that there will be no more work on OOo in favor of the new foundation office software. So it is an OOo issue. If the world at large sees the announcement like I see it, then they to would feel that OOo will not longer be developed and you will need to switch to this new product if you want the newest development in the OOo type of free office suite. Does the message seem to you that they wanted to come across that the key developers are moving to the foundation project and you better switch to this new package as soon as it is out of the Beta stage? When I read it, it made me wonder what will happen to OOo, its web site, its extensions, and everything else that I cone to rely upon. The only thing that made me think twice about is the contact people are all in Europe, and could this be a new aspect to the Euro-Office fork of the OOo software? So this needs to be discussed so we can figure out what will happen when these key developers no longer support OOo as we know it today? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Please give a link to the Discuss list. I suspect I could go to the OO.o page, but you should just provide a link if you really want this to be moved there.

Nevertheless I believe this IS a User's issue. It's an everybody issue, hence the need to move discussion to a forum where everyone can participate without also taking on the large volume of other threads on this list.
