OpenOffice.org Declares Independence From Oracle, Becomes LibreOffice

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday September 28, 2010 @02:42AM from the because-they-can dept.

Google85 writes "The OpenOffice.org Project has unveiled a major restructuring that separates itself from Oracle and that takes responsibility for OpenOffice away from a single company. From now on, OpenOffice's development and direction will be decided by a steering committee of developers and national language project managers. Driving home the changes, the OpenOffice.org project is now The Document Foundation, while the OpenOffice.org suite has been given the temporary name of LibreOffice."

You don't think history goes back further then 1918? Isn't that like you having a word for brain & then not using it?

As for the history of the 2 world wars, all i will say is get an education, there were more countries involved then France, the Brits & the US, there isn't a single one country responsible for the defeat of Germany in both wars, and you might want to read up on the history.
