[–] Alterecho@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) wait wait, what happened to LibreOffice? I'm trying so hard to not give microsoft money ;-; permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 10 points 5 months ago Don't worry, this is very old news. OpenOffice.org was basically stuck in a bureaucratic hell of their own and couldn't really do major decisions without the leaders' approval. I think Sun Microsystems/Oracle was involved. Some high up developers got basically kicked out by the governing folk, so they decided to start the Document Foundation to make LibreOffice, and vast majority of the developers followed. They were just happy to be actually able to do something. OpenOffice got donated to Apache Project and there's been very minimal maintenance on it ever since. permalink fedilink source parent
