Introduction

OpenOffice.org is both a product and an open-source project. If you are new to OOo,

its open source development, and the community that produces and supports it, you

should read this appendix.

A short history of OpenOffice.org

The OpenOffice.org project began when Sun Microsystems released the source code

(“blueprints”) for its StarOffice® software to the open source community on October

13, 2000. OpenOffice.org 1.0, the product, was released on April 30, 2002. On

January 26, 2010, Oracle Corporation acquired Sun Microsystems.

Major updates to OpenOffice.org include version 2.0 in October 2005 and version 3.0

in October 2008. Since version 2.0, OpenOffice.org has supported the open standard

OASIS OpenDocument as its default file format.

The OpenOffice.org community

OpenOffice.org’s Mission Statement is:

“To create, as a community, the leading international office suite that will run on

all major platforms and provide access to all functionality and data through open-

component based APIs and an XML-based file format.”

The OpenOffice.org project is primarily sponsored by Oracle Corp, which is the

primary contributor of code to the project. Our other major corporate contributors

include Novell, RedHat, RedFlag CH2000, IBM, and Google. Additonally over 450,000

people from nearly every part of the globe have joined this project with the idea of

creating the best possible office suite that all can use. This is the essence of an “open

source” community!

With its free software licence and active Native Language Confederation,

OpenOffice.org is a key player in the drive to eradicate digital exclusion and preserve

minority languages threatened by being on the wrong side of the digital divide.

The OpenOffice.org community invites contributors. Whatever you do best, you can

do it for OpenOffice.org. As well as software developers, the Community welcomes

translators, artists, technical writers and editors, testers, people offering user

support, sales and marketing people, lobbyists, donors... the list is long. The

Community operates internationally in all time zones, linked by the internet.
