If you didn't find your Easter eggs yet - I guess Xing is a much better 
tool than the article ;)

https://www.xing.com/companies/open-xchangegmbh/employees#history:https://www.xing.com/companies/open-xchangegmbh/employees?ajax=1&page=5

But that's not all of us - not all use Xing.

As a side note - we are not in the same building.

The OpenOffice Team still is where the roots of OpenOffice started more 
than 20 years ago - in Hamburg. Open-Xchange had launched a new 
development site just for this team.

Why don't you think we are not interested in contributing?

Open-Xchange is an open source company. OX Text actually is open source!

With OX Text there is nothing we could contribute to AOO/LO. Everything 
is very different from OpenOffice, everything is written in Java and 
JavaScript.

But for PDF we actually use OpenOffice as a conversion engine. We found 
and fixed some bugs (still do), and we contribute back the patches to 
both OpenOffice derivatives. If you see stuff coming from Sven Jacobi - 
he is taking care for the Open-Xchange contributions to LO and AOO.

Best regards
Malte.
