Indeed; hence my wistful hope.


More information:

The licenses apply to different parts of the code base.

 From this

I notice that Martin Holmichel is Senior Product Manager and that Malte 
Timmerman is Head of Development in Hamburg.

Quite. I am indeed sorry that both Malte and Martin chose this path but it's 
quite possible they chose wisely—let's see.


Assuming that you talk about working for Open-Xchange now (instead of staying full time OOo contributors), and not about the choice of licenses (which OX is using for many years now):

I guess most people here know that we didn't chose to stop working on OOo full time, but that it was purely Oracle's decisions to - let's put it this way - not to have an OOo team anymore...

And believe me - with working for Open-Xchange now, Malte and Martin did choose wisely :)

Like did the many other people from the former Sun/Oracle OpenOffice.org team, who now work in the OX Hamburg team too.

Actually, these people make up a 100% of the Hamburg team. OX launched the Hamburg site just for/with us.

OX is a nice place to work. Nice people, great product.
Open Source for a long time, now also with office productivity.

Afterwards, everybody here is happy that Oracle gave us "the opportunity" to work for Open-Xchange on OX Documents now - nobody is looking back.

Malte.
