33 Developers Leave OpenOffice.org

After Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems, OpenOffice.org fell into the hands of Oracle, as did a lot of other products. So, last month a few very prominent members of the OpenOffice.org community decided to form The Document Foundation and fork OpenOffice.org as LibreOffice, possibly fearing that it could go the OpenSolaris way."

I wish that was true. But I come to work and wait 5 minutes every morning to open up my email in Lotus Notes. We used to use Outlook which was decently snappy. Lotus Notes is commonly referred to as Scrotus Notes, Scrotum Nuts, etc., at work.
