OpenOffice.org Team on OO.org (and Upcoming v2.0)

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the kudos-thanks-hosanas-and-more dept.

Aditya Nag writes "I recently got the chance to ask the OpenOffice.org team a few questions about OpenOffice.org in general, and their upcoming release. The questions were answered by Louis Suarez-Potts and Colm Smyth. Louis is OpenOffice.org's Community Manager, member and chair of the Community Council, and lead of many OpenOffice.org projects including the Native Language Confederation. Colm is a StarOffice Architect, and was responsible for defining the product concept for OpenOffice.org 3.0 (or StarOffice 9). The interview is fairly long and detailed, and there are a few interesting tid-bits, like Louis' assertion that there will come a day when there will be no proprietary file formats for Office Suites." This is the full interview from which excerpts were linked in the recent post about OO.o's beta candidate for 2.0.

    Don't use such a shitty distro for fucks sake. The whole POINT of a distro is to package the available software! Why put a lot of extra work into making a GUI installer that works on linux when EVERY OTHER DISTRO EXCEPT SLACKWARE packages it natively. Even Gentoo does it!
