Apache OpenOffice(tm) Finally Hatches at Robert Pogson

see The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache OpenOffice(tm) as a Top-Level Project.

Too bad the world has moved on to LibreOffice while they were fiddling with licences. LibreOffice has many millions of users and thousands of contributors. Does anyone need Apache OpenOffice? If Canonical’s predictions hold true, LibreOffice should be on more than 5% of the PCs shipped in 2013 and all major distros use it. Then there are the millions of downloads…

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
