OEone and Open Office Working Together

Posted by Hemos on from the integration dept.

Mike Potter writes "OEone and OpenOffice.org have announced a new partnership that will see the two groups work together to bring OpenOffice applications to OEone HomeBase and see the Mozilla calendar data integrated into the OpenOffice suite. OEone is hard at work getting a version of HomeBase running on RedHat 7.3 and Mandrake, with help from open source developers."

    I think OEOne is a pretty slick alternative desktop. And with the addition of OpenOffice.org, the future just seems a litle brighter.

    On a side, I think they should not just target a particular distro (i.e., RH and Mandrake) but maybe target LSB? After all Mozilla is supposed to be platform independent, and much more so, Distro idependent.

    Will they actually FIX the bugs in OpenOffice such that it won't core dump when I try and open a simple Excel file?

    have you submitted a bug report, including the excel file that causes it to crash? This is the way things get fixed. They cannot fix the bug if they don't know about it.

    OpenOffice needs a LOT of work before adding more cruft.

    Submit bug reports detailing the problems/crashes you are having. Like many others, I don't have any stability problems. I did in earlier builds, and I submitted some bug reports. That is how things will get fixed.
