-RedMonk's Stephen O'Grady about Sun, Google and OpenOffice.org</h2>
-<p>"And then there's OpenOffice.org. To me this is far and away
-the most interesting of the potential collaboration areas (with the
-possible exception of OpenSolaris, but that was not really discussed
-a great deal on either call unlike OpenOffice.org). One of the
-questions I was asked at least a dozen times between yesterday and
-today was what Google might bring to the table with respect to the
-Microsoft Office alternative so often in the news of late? Well,
-resources for one. A web version? Possible, but I think it'd be very
-different functionally than the current codebase - a lot simpler.
-While I'll leave that speculation for another time - as we'd be here
-a long time - I will say that even a tacit acknowledgement of
-OpenOffice.org as a credible platform from Google would be a big win
-for the project. If they can further it technically, all the better,
-but Google's got sufficient clout at this point to have value just as
-a marketing channel."

-<p>Here are some ways Google and Sun could work together</p>
-<p>"Let's just say you are using StarOffice Impress, which is
-Sun's counterpart to PowerPoint. How about a Picasa icon? Or maybe
-even Google Earth, for import of geographical images of that empty
-landscape you want to build your plant at for a presentation you are
-showing to bankers and developers?</p>
-<p>Or say you are writing a document in StarOffice Writer, Sun's
-counterpart to (sorry, you get only one guess), Microsoft Word. You
-want to know more about a given subject. You simply enter a search
-term in the Google toolbar within Writer, click,and your browser
-opens up in a new window with a list of search results.</p>
-<p>Or, for that matter, you want to share that Impress spreadsheet
-with your colleague. Why not IM him or her by means of GoogleTalk
-button along the Impress toolbar?"

-OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 announced</h2>
-<p>OpenOffice.org is proud to announce the immediate availability of
-the new 1.1.5 version of the award-winning open source office suite.</p>
-<p>This new version is initially available on the Windows
-(98/ME/NT/2000/XP), GNU/Linux (X86 and PowerPC) and Solaris (SPARC
-and X86) platforms.</p>
-<p>In addition to English, builds for Czech, Danish, French, German,
-Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and
-Turkish are immediately available with other localisations following
-shortly.</p>
-<p>OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 introduces import support for documents,
-spreadsheets and presentations in OpenDocument format. The
-OpenDocument format is an XML based international office document
-standard approved by OASIS, the Organisation for the Advancement of
-Structured Information Standards. XML based, the OpenDocument format
-enables the free exchange of data between compliant software
-packages.</p>

-<h2 CLASS="western"><a NAME="0.0.SISSL retired|outline"></a>SISSL
-retired</h2>
-<p>On 2 September 2005 Sun Microsystems announced that it was
-retiring the Sun Industry Standards Source License (SISSL), an Open
-Source Initiative (OSI)-approved software license. In recent weeks,
-the OSI, which authorises open-source licenses, has been discussing
-limiting license proliferation, so as to make the process of choosing
-a license easier for developers and companies. Sun's move is in
-support of that objective.</p>
-<p>How does this move affect OpenOffice.org? As most know,
-OpenOffice.org code was launched under the dual banner of the SISSL
-and LGPL; licensees could choose which one they wanted to use, and
-nearly all have chosen the LGPL. Effective with the announcement that
-Sun is retiring the SISSL, however, OpenOffice.org will in the future
-only be licensed under the LGPL.</p>
-<p>For users, the simplification means: no change. OpenOffice.org
-remains free to use, distribute, even sell. One can freely use it in
-commercial as well as government environments; nothing has changed.</p>
-<p>For vendors, distributors, add-on and plug-in writers of
-OpenOffice.org: The LGPL allows for commercial distribution without
-affecting derived products in the same way as the GPL.</p>
-<p>For developers and other contributors: As the code will be
-licensed only under the LGPL, modifications to the source must be
-published. (The SISSL did not require all changes to the source to be
-published.) As most OpenOffice.org contributors are already openly
-contributing to the community, we anticipate no problems. And for
-those who have been using the SISSL exclusively, we invite you to
-join us.</p>

-<p>The Estonian Native-Language project, led by Ain Vagula and Peeter

-track record because it was active as a localization group long

-currently of three main members, Ain Vagula, Peeter Russak and Marek
-Laane, has been involved in the localization work of Openoffice.org,
-ever since the 1.0.2. This team also developped dictionaries and
-distributes CD-Roms.</p>
-<p>OpenOffice.org is making steady progress in the Baltic region, as
-shown by the interest of the Estonian government in getting CD-Roms
-including OOo in Estonian. Stay tuned, as the Estonian Native-Lang

-FOSS word processors compared: OOo Writer, AbiWord, and KWord</h2>
-<p>OpenOffice.org receives most of the attention among free and open
-source (FOSS) office suites, but users shouldn't forget that free
-software includes at least two other word processors: AbiWord, part
-of a projected GNOME Office, and KWord, part of the KOffice suite.
-From their inception, both have been playing catch-up with
-OpenOffice.org's Writer. But now, after several years of development,
- AbiWord and KWord are both reaching early maturity. How do Writer,
-AbiWord, and KWord compare?</p>
