End of an era

| Personally, it is Sun's involvement with open 
| source software that will be most missed. 
| Having bought StarOffice back in 1999 from 
| German company StarDivision, Sun in 2000 
| released the code for StarOffice under an open 
| source licence and the name OpenOffice.org. 
| Over the years community and Sun developers 
| pushed OpenOffice.org closer and closer to its 
| goal of being a fully free alternative to 
| proprietary office suites, something that it 
| has largely achieved.

| As Oracle digests Sun Microsystems, plenty
| of pundits are wondering what will become of
| Sunâs OpenOffice.org and StarOffice efforts.
| On the upside, Oracle says it will keep
| promoting OpenOffice.org. But our resident

Symphony Thursday: Team Blog on Document Interoperability

,----[ Quote ]
| The move of Lotus Symphony to the OpenOffice.org 3 code base, and more
| importantly, having Lotus Symphony based on the current OpenOffice.org code
| trunk going forward, is the first step. We will see more pressure for full
| ODF and OOXML support, not the current OpenOffice.org implementation of ODF
| or the Office 2007 file formats, over the next 12 to 18 months. We as
| consumers of these products must demand full support of the file format - not
| the custom implementations out there today.
