We cannot and probably do not want to replicate what we have had here, but we can, I believe, take the best of it and move on. There is tremendous value in what we—no, you—have accomplished, and I have no interest, and I doubt you do, too, in losing it. Actually, I see 2012 as a banner year of opportunity. What needs to be done, then, i you want to contribute, and I do encourage that. * Sign up with the Apache site * Get started with discussing the future of: </pre> Louis Suárez-Potts 2011-12-13T06:21:03 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.devel.marketing/32196 <pre>Please read this note in its entirety. It contains important information related to this mailing list, its migration to the Apache Software Foundation, and the steps you must take to ensure continuous access to the list. As you may have heard, Oracle contributed the OpenOffice.org (OOo) code to Apache in June. All new projects at Apache start in the "Incubator", a special part of Apache where new projects ("Podlings") and their communities are given special attention by Apache "mentors" as they learn about Apache, ensure that the source code meets Apache's license requirements, and work toward their initial Apache release. In parallel with the coding efforts needed before we can publish Apache OpenOffice.org 3.4.0, the Apache OpenOffice.org community, working with the Apache Infrastructure team, is migrating the many legacy OOo websites and other online services formerly hosted by Sun/Oracle onto Apache servers. This has been a huge effort and we are showing good progress in many areas.

(Even the CC minutes, to come; urgent matters took precedence.) And then I came across the wonderful poem, How do I love thee? by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and I thought: This is totally inappropriate for this list. And then I thought of one—really one of my favourites—by Wallace Stevens, that is to me always appropriate, a source of discussion, controversy, beauty.….

Especially the stony road we're having ahead with the transition of the project to the Apache Software Foundation will require double efforts, hence it seems to be the right moment to make this cut. I will continue to contribute to OOo as time allows it and also continuing to moderate the mailing lists of the MP.

OpenOffice.org supports Windows, Solaris, Linux and Macintosh operation systems. OpenOffice.org is localized, supporting over 110 languages worldwide. Proposal OpenOffice.org will be contributed to Apache Software Foundation by Oracle Corporation in compliance with ASF licensing and governance. This contribution will form the basis of the new OpenOffice project at Apache. Background OpenOffice.org was launched as an open source project by Sun Microsystems in June 2000. OpenOffice.org was originally developed by Star Division which was acquired by Sun in 1999.

We do a fairly good job of keeping our interests separate, and we have also sought to maintain cordial and even friendly relations since last year. I should also add that in no direct way do I benefit from my efforts now on behalf of OOo or ODF. (I don't know if he does.) I suppose all benefit from proving the resilience and reliability of OOo source and the ODF. And a tight affiliation with such a powerful force is hardly to be dismissed. But it is not central by any means to my current work the new company, nor is it at all related to my interests in maintaining friendly relations with Florian and others involved with TDF, LO. (For instance, Charles Schulz and I sit on the same Oasis TCs related to the ODF, where I represent OpenOffice.org.) -louis </pre> Louis Suárez-Potts 2011-05-23T12:25:39 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.devel.marketing/32137 <pre>of the question such a discussion options. Such a understand our options as a really healthy approaches to the carefully, as when the context First of all, the conversation we are having is about the future of OpenOffice.org development. Florian Effenberger wrote to say that he thinks the best place for OpenOffice.org development is within The Document Foundation. That is a conversation about OpenOffice.org and it is a perfectly valid proposal, and in fact, the best and only proposal we have seen so far. Second, the OpenOffice.org name is owned and controlled by Oracle. Any further software releases under the OpenOffice.org name, and any further development of the OpenOffice.org website will only happen with Oracle's agreement. It appears however that there is no one here representing Oracle. Oracle has basically "taken its ball and gone home". Without representation from Oracle, we can conversate all we want, but it will go nowhere.

The Document Foundation has made it clear that if there are no "negotiations" with OpenOffice.org, they will continue to develop and release the codebase under the LibreOffice name. At this point in time, who is continuing to participate in the OpenOffice.org community? Having been appointed to your position by Sun (without an election by the Community), and then terminated by Oracle, do you feel that you are still qualified to speak for the OpenOffice.org Community, and if so, in what way and on what basis? Is Oracle still participating in the OpenOffice.org community, and if so, in what way? Who is speaking for Oracle? What does OpenOffice.org have to contribute at this point to the open source community? I understand that Oracle now owns the trademark to "OpenOffice.org" and the copyright to the codebase.

I indeed see the current situation as an ideal basis for uniting things. The diversity the Community is in now doesn't help anyone. If you now think we, TDF, are happy and get satisfaction out of the current situation, you are terribly wrong. Even if we expected something like that to happen, our intention was to safeguard the project from this eventuality, not to profit from it. We all have similar goals: a free office suite, available to everyone. So let's not discuss about the past, about what has happened and about the reasons that led to this, but rather focus on the future. I want to openly repeat our invitation to everyone to join The Document Foundation and the LibreOffice Community.
