OpenOffice.org Project of the Month: the Irish community
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently at OpenOffice.org we have decided to
| give more highlight to our many native-language
| communities, who are in charge not just of
| localization, but also QA, users support,
| documentation translation and marketing. Each
| month, we will interview teams, blog about it,
| include it in the OpenOffice.org, newsletter,
| etc. This month, we start with the Irish native-
| language project, lead by Kevin Scannell. You
| can find more about the Irish language here.

An open answer to Office
,----[ Quote ]
| The decade-old OpenOffice was the Free and
| Open Source riposte to Microsoft's Office
| that has entrenched itself in the office
| productivity suite segment.
|
| Originally a proprietary software
| application that was open-sourced by Sun
| Microsystems, OpenOffice has come a long
| way, with the release of its new-improved
| version 3.2. Today, having crossed 300
| million downloads â a third of this over the
| last year â this community project is among
| the most successful stand-alone Open Source
| products.
|
| Data legacy and incompatibility issues, as a
| majority of office software was already
| using proprietary applications, and
| widespread piracy, retarded early growth.
| Constantly competing with MS Office, it got
| better with successive iterations, though it
| has not quite caught up. The latest version,
| Office 2010, is due for release and offers
| browser versions of Word, Excel and
| PowerPoint, across the PC, mobile phone and
| browser.
