Re: [libreoffice-users] IBM Donates Lotus Symphony Source Code to the Apache OpenOffice Project

Why don't all the OOo devs just come to TDF? I mean isn't this further
splitting up the community? What I want to see is a single powerful office
suite to kill Microsoft. I want to see them buried. I want to see a free,
open product that is perfect in it's seamlessness, transparency and ease of
use. I hope LO is the one to do it. We need to kick some ass!
