Once version 4.1.2 is ready for internal testing, work will continue.”
#LIBREOFFICE VS OPENOFFICE 2014 MAC#
“The 2 Mac (buildbot) delivered Q3 2014 from Infra are not operational, but a little group of volunteers work on installing the AOO development platform.”.More specifically, many project activities are progressing extremely slowly or else are delayed. In fact, if the report has a theme, it is the lack of developers. Unsurprisingly, the report notes that work on the next release is “progressing slowly.” A cynic might wonder about the implications of having to replace two key positions. Accepting the report’s claim that the change was made to rotate the Chair and that the transition was “smooth,” this change is practically the most upbeat news given in the report.īy contrast, OpenOffice is trying to replace the release manger who recently resigned. The report begins with the announcement that Jan Iversen has replaced Andrea Pescetti as project Chair. If I am mistaken, the fact will eventually become obvious, since the report is, after all, a public document. Since then the contents has gone through at least one more draft, but with little change of content, which makes me suspect that the excuse is an effort to delay discussion of the content. Second, when I contacted Jan Iversen, the new OpenOffice Chair, three weeks ago, he gave the same warning even more strongly. First, much of the report was mentioned in earlier reports, which suggests that its information is accurate. To be fair, the report is listed as “a working copy and not to be quoted.” However, I am discussing it anyway for two reasons. Now, OpenOffice’s most recent report to the Apache Foundation appears to reinforce these previous reports, and then some. The rumors were denied, but revived in March 2015 when Jonathan Corbett used development activity statistics to show that OpenOffice was seriously short of developers, and had corporate support only from IBM. In September 2014, rumors were flying that Apache OpenOffice was floundering and might soon merge with LibreOffice.
