Spotlight: On Developers and Technology

Operating Systems

What operating system do you use? OpenOffice.org runs on Windows, Linux, Solaris and is being ported to Mac OS X; no other office suite is so capable. In the last ten days, discussions on the general "discuss" list have touched on two, related issues, expressed by the subject lines of the mail threads, "Are we freeing MS Windows," and "Transition Stories, Win to Lin." The idea behind both is to examine what is meant, in practice and theory, by supporting and contributing an Open Source project such as OpenOffice.org.

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.
