Raphael,
Why don't you get some folks together and start a company that
solicits
donations to support OO development and QA work?
That's the Apache like style, and that's exactly the reason why i
write to
community and not to the openoffice dev. We have many projects at big
data
who are really successful. How they handle this problem? How they get
paid
stuff involved into their projects. Maybe we can learn from it.
It happens in exactly the way Ted is suggesting -- companies building
product
around Bigdata projects are handling client relationships and they pour
$$$ back
into the projects either via hiring more developers to work on them or
by direct
sponsorship of ASF or by promoting the projects via conferences,
training, etc.
OR all of the above ;-)
Ok. I like a challenge. Raphael, how much, or what would it take to make
what you suggest happen? I am willing to pony up some cash and other
resources.
The challenge that is unique to OpenOffice as you are well aware is
the fact that
it is both a product and a project.
That's not unique to OO. There are other projects that are a product
too. Tomcat, ServiceMix, Archiva are examples.
I see other challenges and opportunities (depending on how one looks at
the glass). For instance the fact that both MS and Google, major
competitors, have a cloud service offering.
At the ApacheCon Europe in Sinsheeim an employee from IBM have had a talk
about experiments for a Online version. It was interesting how crowded it
gets. Unfortunately it was not continued. An other frequent request is a
Version for IPad.
Just some ideas.
Regards Raphael
