33 Developers Leave OpenOffice.org 500
dkd903 writes "We all knew it would come to this, and it has finally happened — 33 developers have left OpenOffice.org to join The Document Foundation, with more expected to leave in the next few days. After Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems, OpenOffice.org fell into the hands of Oracle, as did a lot of other products. So, last month a few very prominent members of the OpenOffice.org community decided to form The Document Foundation and fork OpenOffice.org as LibreOffice, possibly fearing that it could go the OpenSolaris way."

Yes, there is a dead fork and a live fork. Oracle owns the dead one.

Oracle may yet be the end of Java too.

I would be careful about requesting a name change. If we aren't careful, we might get GIMP Office. The "orifice" jokes alone would kill any corporate penetration.

But maybe Oracle will surprise us all and do the right thing.
Maybe Larry Ellison will get a personality transplant.

We'll call him Larry Jobs.
Hmm... I wonder how that combination would work out?

I'm sincerely hoping that was intentional.
