My understanding is that the Apache OpenOffice codebase matters to IBM

on. Instead of spending hours and keystrokes pondering on the ability
of the Apache OpenOffice project to execute or to become LibreOffice's
upstream, I would like to rephrase or reframe Simon's proposal, esp.
its points 2 and 3 (2: rename the project to Apache ODF suite 3. make
this project not the office suite that competes with LibreOffice but
make it the meeting point of development efforts for specific purposes
and ODF). Basically this amounts to think about the current proposal
based on two factors:
1. find a proper coherence and relevance between Apache OOo&
LibreOffice on a technological level and on a distribution level
2. find a proper coherence with IBM's business requirements (Symphony).
I hope we can move forward on this.
If we are to call the vote on Friday as currently seems to be the target
(which is in no way fixed) I wonder if the ASF representatives who
engaged with the TDF lists can provide a little feedback. Specifically
I'm interested to know if there was any discussion along the above lines.
Of course, I will also be trying to find the time to read the relevant
articles. To speed some of us along would it be possible for someone to
post links to those archives here.
Thank you.
