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.
Hi Malte,
I'm glad it worked out, and that you were able to use and grow your
knowledge and experience in the same general technology area.
Documents are not going away, though we may use different tools.
Right. That's what we all believe in :)
But surely this news must be confusing to all those who have been
told, in press releases, blog posts and even on Wikipedia that most of
the OpenOffice developers went to LibreOffice?
Well, LO was always good in PR and in interpreting numbers ;)
When counting in only employed full time contributers, the truth is that
more people went to AOO (via IBM) than to LO (via Red Hat and
Canonical). I don't count in the 2 LO guys who left Sun many years ago.
I better don't write the concrete numbers here - but I know all the
names, so I am confident my numbers are right. And I guess you know the
exact numbers too.
So if you are eager to know how many Sun/Oracle OOo people Open-Xchange
hired meanwhile (we started with a smaller team): Based on the numbers
that I have in mind, add together the amount of people who went to
AOO+LO, and add 50%.
Malte.
