OpenOffice.org 3.0 and Beyond Voicing the Community
Louis Suárez-PottsCommunity ManagerOpenOffice.orgSun Microsystems
OpenOffice.org is both a global community and a global product
The global community makes OpenOffice.org what it is:
Everyone's productivity suite, no one's monopoly
What OpenOffice.org is...
OpenOffice.org is a community where:
• Anyone can contribute to and all can use OpenOffice.org for free
• Where major corporations work with local companies and individuals
• We work together to build a suite of tools that gives voice to users in every region of the world
Community makes the difference
A stronger community...
Our community has just gotten a lot stronger
We welcome our new members:
RedFlag 2000 and IBM
They join Sun, Novell, Red Hat, and other large and small companies, as well as thousands building OpenOffice.org
And they bring resources to match our ambition: To be the first choice for all
Regardless of language or circumstance
To date, we have already achieved a great deal:> 100 million downloads> In 100 languages > And on every major operating system> ...soon, including Mac OS X Aqua... > Using the only ISO approved format for office
documents > While being interoperable with other suites
OpenOffice.org has succeeded in freeing the desktop
Achievements...
