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.


Thanks,
Roman.
