“I have some news: I’ve left Oracle. But I have not left
OpenOffice.org and so remain deeply involved in the project and in
the promotion of the OpenDocument Format, or ODF. In fact, my
focus, my efforts are strengthened by my newfound independence.“And the timing for this is good—for me, for the
community, for the Project, for the ODF campaign. Decisions rolling
tens of millions of dollars (and every other national currency you
can count) into the future stand poised as the latest release,
OpenOffice.org 3.3, is evaluated not just for what it can do now to
replace the alternative (laugh) but how it will work with future
technologies—like mobile devices, most obviously, but also in
other sectors I invite the community to imagine and suggest.”
