Oracle Asks OpenOffice Community Members To Leave

Posted by Soulskill on from the pack-your-junk dept.

Elektroschock writes "In an unprecedented move with respect to other forks, Oracle asked the founders of the Document Foundation and LibreOffice to leave the OpenOffice.org Community Council. Apparently there is a conflict of interest, which concerns the Oracle employees."

    Wow, that's a lot of other words. Maybe I shouldn't post at this time of night.

    i'm not sure how tacking an english word onto a Spanish one makes sense.

    ...was because the LibreOffice team wanted to have a "free yourself" day where the programmers, project managers or anybody else involved in the development of OpenOffice.org (Oracle, I'm looking at you) came to work without any clothes off (think "Naked Nullsoft Month",) and since Oracle itself has 200+ workers that will be a lot of nude nerds, thereby revealling the identity of which workers have or have not submitted photos of themselves to goatse.

    In everyday usage, it could be shortened to FuckOff, like:
            "What's that Open Source office suite you are using?"
            "FuckOff."
            "Wow, thanks. Gotta get me some of that."
    or
            "How can I convert this mysterious ODF document into Word format to read it on my Win98 computer?"
            "FuckOff."
            "Thank you, helpful person."

    I know you're joking, but that name still beats GIMP!
