I doubt that Oracle will do any real promotion of OOo and get all the 
flack about them loosing the Linux distribution in their version of a 
repository.  They lost a lot of press over their product and promoting 
it the Linux community as a free product line is a waste of their money 
needed to market their other products.  Since LibreOffice is all 
volunteers and do not have any other product line to deal with, we do 
not have to weigh the marketing money between product lines.  I would 
love to be there and hear the all the people who want to know why Oracle 
lost their market share for this free line of software.  I would love to 
hear all the answers.  I just know that Oracle will try to tell the 
folks that they have been in the business for 10 years on this product 
line and no new company can do the job better.  Except, the press tell 
us we do have a better product.  Let see what happens.
