+ <p>Key facts and figures about Apache OpenOffice for the media.</p>
+
+ <h2>Naming</h2>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Name - we are <strong>Apache OpenOffice</strong> (not <em>Open Office</em> or <em>OpenOffice</em>).
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ Apache OpenOffice is both the name of a software product and the name of the open-source project
+ which designs, develops, maintains, translates, tests, documents, supports, and
+ promotes the software.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Note: Prior to version 3.4.0 the product was referred to as OpenOffice.org® and that term may still proper when referring to
+ these older releases.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+
+
+ <h2>Key points about the Apache OpenOffice Productivity Suite.</h2>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>
+ Apache OpenOffice provides <strong>everything most people need in an office
+ productivity suite</strong>. The main components of Apache OpenOffice
+ are:<br/>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/product/writer.html">Writer</a>, a wordprocessor <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/product/pix/writer-big.png">(screenshot)</a>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/product/calc.html">Calc</a>, a spreadsheet <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/product/pix/calc-big.png">(screenshot)</a>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/product/impress.html">Impress</a> a presentation editor <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/product/pix/impress-big.png">(screenshot)</a>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/product/draw.html">Draw</a> a vector graphics editor <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/product/pix/draw-big.png">(screenshot)</a>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/product/base.html">Base</a> database front-end <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/product/pix/base-big.png">(screenshot)</a>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ Apache OpenOffice is stable, reliable, and robust, the product of over twenty years'
+ development. Unlike its major competitor, it was designed from the start as a
+ single piece of software, which makes for higher quality software and a more
+ consistent user experience. It is actively developed, with several releases
+ every year.<br>
+
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ Apache OpenOffice is both <strong>easy to use and easy to migrate to</strong>,
+ for both experienced and beginners alike. It has a familiar user interface, and
+ is able to read and write the vast majority of legacy file formats (including
+ common Microsoft Office formats). It is supported in nearly 30 languages, with
+ active support, both community based (free) and from commercial organisations (paid-for).
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ Apache OpenOffice is released under an open-source licence (Apache License 2.0), which
+ means it may be used <strong>free of any licence fees, for any purpose</strong>:
+ private, governmental, commercial, etc. Once acquired it may be installed on an unlimited number of computers,
+ and may be copied and distributed without restriction. Apache OpenOffice
+ supports extensions, allowing users to add on extra functions easily from <a href="http://extensions.openoffice.org/">an
+ extensions repository</a>. This is a key differentiator from the competition.
+ </li>
+ </ol>
+
+ <p>
+ Apache OpenOffice is available on all major computing platforms and is supported
+ in nearlt thirty languages. Our best estimate is that Apache OpenOffice currently
+ enjoys over 15% market share for office productivity suites.
+ </p>
+
+ <h2>Key points about the Apache OpenOffice Community</h2>
+
+ <p>
+ Apache OpenOffice is a project of the Apache Software Foundation, a US-based non-profit organization
+ dedicated to publishing free software for the public good.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The overwhelming majority of Community members are volunteers. A small number are sponsored by their employers to work on
+ Apache OpenOffice. Most of these work in software development.
+ </p>
+
+ <h2>Concise history of Apache OpenOffice</h2>
+
+ <p>
+ Apache OpenOffice is a mature software product, tracing its origins back over
+ twenty years to a commercial software house in Germany, StarDivision. Following
+ the acquisition of StarDivision by Sun Microsystems in April 1999,
+ OpenOffice.org version 1.0 was released as open-source software on May 1st 2002. It
+ proved hugely successful, and after more than 49 million recorded downloads,
+ version 2.0 was released on 20th October 2005. OpenOffice.org 2 removed the
+ last barriers to migration with a new user interface, improved support for
+ competitors' file formats, and a new integrated database component. It also
+ became the first office suite to support the new Open Document Format for office
+ applications (ODF) natively. OpenOffice.org 3 was announced on October 13, 2008,
+ and recorded 100 million downloads by October 28, 2009. Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems in
+ 2010. In June 2011 Oracle contributed the source code and trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation,
+ enabling the OpenOffice.org community to achieve their dream of having OpenOffice maintained as a
+ community-run open source project at an independent foundation. In 2012 the project voted to rename itself
+ to Apache OpenOffice.

-
- <h2>Key points about the Apache OpenOffice Community</h2>
-
- <p>The Community is organised into <a href="http://projects.openoffice.org/index.html">projects</a>, covering all
- aspects of our activity. In languages alone, we have nearly 100 language
- localisation projects, with over <a href="http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html">90 supported
- languages</a> currently available. Over five thousand people have signed
- up to take part in project activities and are Community members. As an
- internet based worldwide community, we do not have a physical
- headquarters in any one country. We have a Community bank account in
- Germany, and some of the bigger native-language projects have
- not-for-profit or equivalent status in their countries.</p>
-
- <p>The overwhelming majority of Community members are volunteers. A small
- number (probably not more than a hundred or so) are sponsored by their
- employers to work on Apache OpenOffice. Most of these work in software
- development. The Community acknowledges with gratitude the sponsorship it
- receives from its founding and primary sponsor, Oracle. Other
- significant contributors include major industry players like Novell,
- RedHat, RedFlag CH2000, IBM, and Google.</p>

- 1st 2006 and is the only office document format to be approved at this
- level. Apache OpenOffice 3 was announced on October 13, 2008, and recorded
- 100 million downloads from the Apache OpenOffice download site alone just over
- one year later on October 28, 2009.</p>
