The Document Foundation celebrates the 10th anniversary of the OOo community looking at the next
decade
The Internet, October 13, 2010 - Ten years ago, the then fledgling OpenOffice.org community
provided the first public access to the StarOffice source code donated by Sun Microsystems. Today,
The Document Foundation - a group based on some of those early pioneers - is launching a new
challenge based on the Next Decade Manifesto.
The Next Decade Manifesto has been published at
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/Next_Decade_Manifesto
"Looking back at the first ten years of the OOo community, it is amazing to see what we have achieved thanks to
the commitment of thousands of volunteers in every part of the world", says André Schnabel, a long time member of
the group. "Today, though, we are concentrating on our next objective: grow the software into the next decade as
an independent community, around the LibreOffice brand".
The house of The Document Foundation is at http://www.documentfoundation.org
The Document Foundation has the mission to facilitate the evolution of the OOo Community into a new
open, independent, and meritocratic organization within the next few months. An independent
Foundation is a better match to the values of contributors, users and supporters, and will enable a
more effective, efficient, transparent, and inclusive Community. TDF will protect past investments
by building on the achievements of the first decade, encourage wide participation in the Community,
and co-ordinate activity across the Community.
