OpenOffice.org Is Four

2004-10-13

Today we are four. On 13 October 2000 Sun Microsystems donated the source to StarOffice to the open-source community. Sun has continued to sponsor the project, which CollabNet hosts and manages. Our celebrations started early, in September, with the Second OOoCon, in Berlin. The papers presented there highlight the activity and promise of the project and the code.

Apache OpenOffice is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
