Ximian and Open Office

Submitted by Uraeus on Wed, 2003-03-26 12:36. OpenOffice.org

There has been lots of speculation on what Ximian has been doing with Open Office in prepartion for the GNOME 2 based version of Ximian Desktop. Well Michael Meeks made the slides from his presentation at the Open Office conference in Germany available, which details some of the changes done by Ximian.
You find the slides here.

"or dissappears entirely the better!"

Can you say Troll?

On linux, qt is free for free apps and commercial for commercial apps. On Windows its not gpl. There is nothing wrong with this. If don't like the terms don't freaking use it.

Its people like you that are part of the reason why commercial companies want nothing to do with desktop linux.

"Also having an allmost wholly corperate developed interface as standard would make OSS look like a little bit of a joke. "

Yea because anything "corporate" developed CAN'T be good. I'm sure glad someone as corporate as SUN isn't involved with Gnome. God, imagine if they used their corporate methods to help develop Gnome interface standards?! Gnome would not only be selling out, they'd be using and promoting and interface standard developed by a COMMERCIAL company!

The only thing that looks like is joke is when someone like you posts drival like this.
