The one thing that has always bugged me is.

How is it any different having LibreOffice and someone being in both
project, and the OracleOffice part.  I mean are they not competing
projects.  Would Oracle not prefer someone to go with there version of
OpenOffice.org and pay them for support on it.

How then can an employee, someone being paid by Oracle, then sit as a member
of the Community Council, or have an active role for the project.

I really see no difference in the two at this time.


Well, I do.

I have never heard of any Sun/Oracle employee promoting thatOpenOffice.org community members contribute to StarOffice/Oracle OpenOffice instead, let alone on an Openoffice.org mailing list.
