Holy Surprise Endings, Batman! Yes, you heard that right: “in this case, the solution is to use OpenOffice,” the blog post concludes.ĭid that start a merry little conversation in the Linux blogosphere? You bet it did - not just in the comments on the post itself but also on LXer and at blogobars throughout the land. Namely, when working with spreadsheets on the job, “LibreOffice has a bug that has persisted for many months, whereas OpenOffice just works.” However, it comes to a shocking conclusion. (3) It is more rapidly developing and releasing updates,” the post innocently begins.
“If you are like me, you prefer LibreOffice over (Apache) OpenOffice because (1) It has a better open source license.
It’s a question bloggers were mulling earlier this year, and recently - thanks to a blog post that popped up last Monday - it’s been on their minds once again. With LibreOffice now a default part of Linux distributions large and small, in fact, many wonder whether a place for OpenOffice remains. Yes, it’s been a glorious journey ever since LibreOffice was forked from back in 2010, and Linux Girl has come to rely on the young package exclusively for the writing she does every day. Indeed, with 325 active committers over the last 12 months, LibreOffice is now the third-largest free software project listed on Ohloh focused on the development of a desktop application, Behrens said, following only Firefox and Chrome. “In just 24 months, we have achieved what many people thought was impossible when the project was launched,” said Thorsten Behrens, SUSE developer and deputy chairman of the Document Foundation board. Well it’s been a momentous few weeks for FOSS fans recently, not least because LibreOffice - one of the most popular exemplars of free and open source software today - celebrated its second anniversary late last month.
