20 Reasons Why Oracle is the World's Largest Open Source Company
,----[ Quote ]
| It's true. Oracle is now, with its
| acquisition of Sun Microsystems, the
| world's largest purveyor of open source
| software. Does that surprise you? It did me
| too, until I started digging and realized
| that Oracle has a history of supporting
| free and open source software. Their
| support didn't start with their purchase of
| InnoDB, MySQL or Sun. It goes back into
| ancient times--Internetly speaking, of
| course.
|
| And, yes, I know that I've taken my share
| of shots at Oracle and the wonderful Larry
| Ellison but I also have to own up to the
| fact that they are good open source
| stewards and citizens (netizens?). It
| almost pains me to admit it but I do.
| Oracle has done much for the FOSS community
| and it appears that their commitment to it
| rivals that of IBM.

A Brand Refresh for OpenOffice.org
,----[ Quote ]
| During the last 10 years OpenOffice.orgâ
| has evolved to a quite large project in
| the FLOSS world and a successful product
| in the office productivity suite market.
| Together with our product the
| OpenOffice.org brand spread over the
| world. This brand has a tradition of
| quality and it remains faithful to its
| origins. Instead of a complete new design
| we started a refresh. It points out the
| key components and improves the overall
| impression to gain even more strength and
| confidence.

Head to Head: Office 2010 vs Open Office 3.1
,----[ Quote ]
| It's a battle of the office productivity
| suites as we look at how Office 2010 shapes up
| against its main open alternative. We find out
| which is best in this head to head review.
|
| In this head to head we are focusing on the
| two most popular suites of office software on
| the market today. While some people consider
| the comparison a little one sided, we thought
| it was time to give Open Office a chance to
| stand up to the heavyweight that is
| Microsoftâs 20-year old Office, in its latest
| beta incarnation.
|
| We have chosen these two big-hitters because
| of the wealth of support and features
| available but weâd like to offer a nod to
| Google Docs, a suite which we see as a
| potential contender for the future, when it
| makes up part of the upcoming Chrome OS.
