LibreOffice(R)
Summary
Implementation of LibreOffice(R) (http://www.documentfoundation.org/download/) in the place of OpenOffice.org(R) (http://download.openoffice.org/other.html)
Owner
- Name: Gatlin B. Sullivan
- E-mail: gatlinsullivan[at]yahoo.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 15
- Last updated: 2011-11-08
- Percentage of completion: 100%
Detailed Description
LibreOffice(R) is a fork of OpenOffice(R) with the support of the OpenOffice.org(R) community and many major software backers, including Red Hat(R)
Benefit to Fedora
LibreOffice(R) can continue without hampering from Oracle(R) should it decide to kill the project like it did to OpenSolaris(R). LibreOffice(R) is supposed to include derivative works from derived versions of OpenOffice(R) such as Go-OO(R) (http://go-oo.org/).
Scope
LibreOffice(R) must be packaged and tested to be incorporated into the Fedora 15 repositories.
How To Test
Testing should be the installation of the builds of LibreOffice(R) on Fedora Rawhide.
User Experience
Eventually, all OpenOffice(R) branding should be replaced by LibreOffice(R) branding.
Dependencies
The current dependencies, as I understand it, are the same as the current Fedora 14 implementation of OpenOffice.org(R). The removal of old unused libraries is a part of LibreOffice's(R) intention prior to its first release, I believe.
Contingency Plan
Continue implementing OpenOffice.org(R).
Documentation
Release Notes
LibreOffice(R) is an office productivity suite that will replace OpenOffice(R). It will be completely open source and driven solely by the community supporting it. It has a word processor, presentation creator, spreadsheet creator, database creator, formula editor, and drawing editor.
