OpenOffice was dumped on Apache, so I would imagine Oracle
don't care which you use.
But be sure to use Jenkins, not Hudson :)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Oracle is no longer in charge of OpenOffice.org. They donated it to the Apache
Foundation.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

In case you haven't notice, Oracle does not want to play on the OpenOffice
field, either. They've handed the whole thing to the Apache Foundation.
So whatever personal choice you want to make regarding LibreOffice/OpenOffice,
it won't affect Oracle any more.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I'm in the process of reloading my laptop.. I'm investigating my options for
replacing VirtualBox and it seems I need to go with KVM or Xen, but they both
claim to be more command line / server based. For now it seems VirtualBox is
dead to me and I'm heading back to VMWare. Nice to see they've made some
improvements since I've been gone.
Looking forward to the day VB gets forked/liberated from Oracle so I can come
back.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

OK, but Oracle offloaded OpenOffice.org onto Apache soon
after it became clear there was no way to make money on it.
It wouldn't hurt them.
But Oracle DO make money off their Oracle database product,
and it isn't so good that it could withstand the competition
from PostgreSQL for most use cases.
A recession is a good time to start questioning which
database your next IT project should use, and how many
licenses of your legacy systems you should pay for next
year.

Open Office is now more of IBM's baby now. Regardless of who you agree with in
the politics involving Open Office and Libre Office (or even if you disagree
with all of them), Oracle is no longer directly involved any more. Right now,
what I see is IBM cleaning up much of Oracle's and Sun's mess. How much good
will come of it is a whole different matter of course. I'm not sure how long
more IBM will be "friendly" as well.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
