I don’t think it really matters whether it be CloudFoundry (which strives to gather contribution and more from many) or Red Hat or Buzzword Foundry (which I just made up). More to the point: what would be meant by having “OpenOffice in the cloud”? When I was at Sun/Oracle, yes, we did work on this. But what is intended? Enterprise use? IBM’s Notes does this, albeit within a proprietary wrapper, I believe. And rollApp, among others, does something almost desirable but more so if accessed within an intranet, as usability of the service would depend on proximity (speed) to the servers. Furthermore, there were other open source efforts to provide useful OpenOffice in there cloud, again prior to Sun’s sinking. These have pretty much vanished or are recalled with rue…. or realization that something better is wanted. I think Corinthia might be relevant here :-) (And to echo Jose, “Of course, I am slightly biased.”) but…. @ Jose RR: Red Hat is currently supporting LibreOffice development, isn’t it? Or has that changed? I’ve not kept up to date. louis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
