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

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday March 19, 2005 @09:56AM 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.

On OS X I would have really cared about OpenOffice being updated... that is until iWork came out... it's significantly faster than M$ Office on OS X I find, AND it's at a reasonable price... not to mention OOo's complete disregard of the Mac platform...
