I think at this point, it is pretty obvious that Oracle has not shown 
any intention of taking part in this project and we should not expect it 
to be part of this any more. Our initial expectations were optimistic, 
but we should no longer expect them but feel "pleasantly surprised" if 
they decide in the future to join us. Just as "pleasantly surprised" if 
the decide in the future to release the trademarked "OpenOffice.org" 
name. They will be another organization just like any other helping out 
with LibreOffice. Their hold on the community and the namebrand is no 
longer an issue. I think we are passed that now.
