!OpenOffice.org is localized, supporting over 110 languages worldwide.

!OpenOffice.org project while under the sponsorship of Sun and Oracle, =
namely:
>=20

that  will run on all major platforms and provide access to all =
functionality and  data through open-component based APIs and an =
XML-based file format."
>=20

facing product with many existing individual and corporate users, this =
project will also be active in supporting end-users via tutorials, user =
forums, document template repositories, etc.  The project will also work =
to further enable !OpenOffice.org to be used as a programmable module in =
document automation scenarios.
>=20
> =3D=3D Background =3D=3D
> !OpenOffice.org was launched as an open source project by Sun =
Microsystems in June 2000.  !OpenOffice.org was originally developed =
under the name of StarOffice by Star Division, a German company, which =
was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 1999.  Sun released this as open =
source in 2000.  !OpenOffice.org is the leading alternative to MS-Office =
available.  Its most recent major version, the 3.x series saw over =
[[http://www.webmasterpro.de/portal/news/2010/02/05/international-openoffi=

[[http://www.webmasterpro.de/portal/news/2010/02/05/international-openoffi=

the order of 8-15%.
>=20
> The !OpenOffice source is written in C++ and delivers language-neutral =
and scriptable functionality. This source technology introduces the =
next-stage architecture, allowing use of the suite elements as separate =
applications or as embedded components in other applications. Numerous =
other features are also present including XML-based file formats based =
on the vendor-neutral !OpenDocument Format (ODF) standard from OASIS and =
other resources.
>=20
> =3D=3D Rationale =3D=3D
> !OpenOffice.org core development would continue at Apache following =
the contribution by Oracle, in accordance with Apache bylaws and its =
usual open development processes. Both Oracle and ASF agree that the =
!OpenOffice.org development community, previously fragmented, would =
re-unite under ASF to ensure a stable and long term future for =
OpenOffice.org. ASF would enable corporate, non-profit, and volunteer =
stakeholders to contribute code in a collaborative fashion.
>=20
> Supporting tooling projects will accompany the !OpenOffice.org =
contribution, providing APIs for extending and customizing =
!OpenOffice.org.
>=20
> Both !OpenOffice.org and the related tooling projects support the =
OASIS Open Document Format, and will attract an ecosystem of developers, =
ISVs and Systems Integrators. ODF ensures the users of !OpenOffice.org =
and related solutions will own their document data, and be free to =
choose the application or solution that best meets their requirements.
>=20
> The !OpenOffice.org implementation will serve as a reference =
implementation of the Open Document Format standard.
>=20
> =3D Current Status =3D
> =3D=3D Meritocracy =3D=3D
> We understand the intention and value of meritocracy at Apache.  We =
are particularly gratified to learn, during the discussion on this =
proposal, that there is a strong role for non-coders to participate in =
this meritocracy and as they demonstrate their sustained commitment and =
merit, to take on additional community responsibilities.
>=20
> The initial developers are very familiar with open source development, =
both at Apache and elsewhere. Apache was chosen specifically because =
Oracle as contributor, and IBM as Sponsor, as well as the initial =
developers, want to encourage this style of development for the project. =
A diverse developer community is regarded as necessary for a healthy, =
stable, long term !OpenOffice.org project.
>=20
> =3D=3D Community =3D=3D
> The !OpenOffice.org project, over its 10+ years of existence has =
spawned a diverse set of derived applications, each associated with its =

an extended ecosystem
>=20
> In some cases the development effort for the derived project consists =
of repackaging the core !OpenOffice.org code with additional plugins, =
fonts, clipart, in other cases an additional language translation is =
added bundled with additional language tools (spell checking =
dictionaries, grammar proofers), and in other cases the development work =
involves changes of the core components.
>=20
> In some cases the communities coordinate closely with the parent =
!OpenOffice.org projects, in other cases they have effectively "forked" =
into independent projects, and in some cases we really have no idea who =
they are or what they are doing. For example, screen shots of the =
secretive North Korean "Red Star" computer system indicate that it is =
likely using a customized version of !OpenOffice.
>=20
> The above community relations are as much social as business. The =
annual !OpenOffice.org Conference has, for many years, been an important =
event on the calendar for community members, a "gathering of the clans" =
and generally brings in the "extended family" of projects, often =
including non-!OpenOffice.org based projects that interoperate with =
!OpenOffice.org via the !OpenDocument Format (ODF) document format, =
e.g., Google Docs, Microsoft Office, !AbiWord, Calligra Suite/KOffice. =
We want to continue this tradition with members of any eventual Apache =
!OpenOffice TLP, in conjunction with the extended community of derived =
projects.
>=20
> One of our goals with this incubation project will be to rationalize =
and formalize the coordination of these upstream and downstream =
contribution, basing it on the Apache 2.0 license, which should help us =
disseminate enhancements to the core more easily, since this license is =
easily consumed by all derivatives, even those with copyleft licenses. =
We need to identify which functions performed by the broader network of =
communities are a good fit for an eventual Apache TLP, and which things =
fit better outside of Apache.We also need to respect that the =
maintainers of these derivatives of !OpenOffice.org have a lot of pride =
in their distributions and value their independent names and websites. =
So it is not reasonable to expect that they will wish to be folded into =
a single "vanilla" Apache !OpenOffice.org. However, we must do what is =
possible to encourage and further develop a thriving ecosystem around =
this project.
>=20
> One possible outcome is that we encourage the core development of the =
editors to occur in Apache, while making it easy, via a modular =
extension mechanism, a modular install, etc. for others to customize and =
redistribute as permitted by the Apache 2.0 license.
>=20
> =3D=3D Collaboration with LibreOffice =3D=3D
> The !LibreOffice project is an important partner in the =
!OpenOffice.org community, with an established focus on the GNU/Linux =
community as well as on Windows and Mac consumer end-users. The Apache =
!OpenOffice project will seek to build a constructive working and =
technical relationship so that the source code developed at Apache can =
be readily used downstream by !LibreOffice, as well as exploring ways =
for their upstream contributions to be integrated.
>=20
> There will be other ways we will be able to collaborate, including =
jointly sponsored events, interoperability 'plugfests', standards =
development, shared build management infrastructure, shared release =
mirrors, coordination of build schedules and version numbers, defect =
lists, and other downstream requirements. We will make this relationship =
a priority early in the life of the podlet.

contributors to !OpenOffice.org, as well members of other derived =
products, open source and commercial, including Symphony, RedOffice, =

experience with Apache-style open source development, ranging from none =
to ASF Members.
>=20
> =3D=3D Marketing =3D=3D
> Since its origins, !OpenOffice.org has had a healthy group of =
volunteers committed to marketing with "!MarCons" in many countries. =
There are existing initiatives that combine marketing with the =
possibility of raising independent funds, for example through EU grant =
applications related to the Life Long Learning programme, the =
certification project and developing the selling of marketing collateral =
around the OpenOffice.org brand. There is potential to independently =
raise money to substantially improve the quality and take up of the code =
that was not realised previously.

change, as the project developers.  The value of this code under a the =
permissive Apache 2.0 license will attract and encourage opportunities, =
not only for existing software vendors, but also for new ventures.  This =
